Our verdict
Husqvarna Z254F
A dependable middle-of-the-road choice built around a well-proven Kawasaki engine and a genuinely good fabricated deck. It gives up ground on speed and comfort — 6.5 mph and an unsuspended seat make long sessions on uneven ground a chore — but if reliability per dollar is what you care about, it delivers. Note that the Special Edition variant ships with a 23 HP engine rather than 24 HP, so check the sticker before you buy.
