If you want to rest at ease, skip the engines made in China.
Thanks for clarifying what you ment!
I totally agree with the China thing, but I'd rank Honda (Japan) over Briggs ans Straton (US) any day.
B & S quality and longevity have been slipping over the years, still a good motor but not the best.
