Winnowl Verdict
At an AVERAGE (70) Winnowl Index, the PowerSmart PSM2522S Gas Powered Self Propelled Lawn Mower offers top-tier specs, but the lack of value at this price point makes it a difficult choice. You get Strong Performance with this unit, but it comes at the cost of Mediocre Value and only Average Brand Strength to back it up. The PowerSmart PSM2522S Gas Powered Self Propelled Lawn Mower (22-Inch, 150cc Briggs & Stratton, 3-in-1 Mulching) offers a 22 inches Cutting Width that beats the average by 17% and means you should effectively balance maneuverability with a path wide enough to clear a standard yard quickly, yet the $419.99 price makes this a poor value for the Gas Powered Self Propelled Lawn Mowers category. We suggest checking out other Gas Powered Self Propelled Lawn Mowers in the class; paying a 10% premium for 13% less value doesn't make sense unless you can't find this level of performance in another product.
