Gas-powered push lawnmower from budget outdoor-power-equipment maker MTD.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Bought for $125 in 2000 and run with zero maintenance — no oil changes, no blade sharpening, never cleaned — and it still started every time until the deck finally rusted through after roughly 25 years.
