Lawn-boy Silver Duraforce 10323 mulching fan

I agree with lee in that it probably depends on the grass you are cutting. Up north in the cool season grasses like Bluegrass and Fine Fescue it will probably work just fine, but down here in the warm season grasses like Hybrid Bermuda it just seems to create an additional load on the mower without really any return on the investment. I included the pic to kinda show what we are talking about in the way of thick grass, it's very soft and enjoyable to walk on, but really a challenge for the mower.

I think the trick to any mulching mower is to not cut more than about an inch or so off the top, and make sure it's dry. But that's kind of hard to do if you have several days of rain or come back from a vacation.

As far as the quality of cut, the two mowers that stand out IMO are a Jacobsen turbo cut (4 blades mounted on a steel disk) or my Honda HR215 with two blades. The Jake left your lawn looking like a putting green.
