    Returned my Kobalt electric mower back to Lowe’s after realizing it wasn’t powerful enough to mow through our newly renovated yard after an awesome growing season. I personally drive a Honda Accord Hybrid and absolutely love the car and remember cutting grass in my teens with a Honda motor. I knew I wanted something powerful, reliable, fuel efficient and easy to maintain. Not to rain on your parade though but I just ordered this model for less than $300! $272.00 after a 20% discount and free shipping to be exact! I can’t wait to see what it does! 😊

    Just bought this model from Lowe's - great price, especially with vet discount - plus free delivery. Started on first pull. Only some initial tests and a couple strips on the lawn. Maybe 60 feet total. Very impressed with mulching and it seems to handle taller grass OK without bogging down. Replaced a 15 year old Craftsman that was made for them by Husqvarna with B&S engine. Could have kept it running but major parts were starting to wear out - drive system - wheels/axles - and deck mulch shrouds starting to crack underneath. I have new carb for it and will put that on and keep it for a while. Primer system was always finicky on its B&S.

    JB, I have a Honda HRX 217 for several years. It does a great job at mulching and bagging. I had Toro Super Recycler for years until it wore out. The Honda had a bigger engine and better warranty. Got an extra year warranty with a promotion deal for 6 years! Always clean cut and when the neighbors ask you “ What kind of mower you got” I figured it’s doing a great job!

    • @GarageGear

      Hey Mark! The HRX is a great mower and if the neighbors come asking, you know you got something good! They do have an impressive warranty. I’m excited to see what this baby can do! Got plenty to do on it before it touches the lawn! Stay tuned!

    Have you tried leaving the mulch selector in between settings and what the result was? What's the real life long term user review of the Honda HRN /Hrx compared to the Toro super recycler for reliability, dependability, repairs / maintenance costs and enjoyment for larger yards? I just moved into a new home on a 1/3 acre lot

    • @GarageGear
      @GarageGear  28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      On the HRN the selector only has two places to go and won’t stay in the middle like it would on the HRX. It has to lock in place. If you take a look at this video you’ll see how the HRN Looks after 4 years of use. Still mowing great. HONDA HRN216 VS HONDA HRX217 - WHICH LAWN MOWER SHOULD YOU BUY?

    I have a Honda after having owned many other brands in the last 35 years the Honda is by far and away the best I’ve ever owned. First pull start every time and super easy to walk behind. It pulls and I guide with one hand. I use the double mulching blades which vaporize the clippings.

    I bought my lawnmower 18 years ago from Sears Craftsman with a Honda engine. Only issue with it would be replacing a throttle cable and the rear wheals self propelled front wheels are still good and the only down side is it has no oil drain plug. I need to run the gas empty and take the oil dipstick out and dump it on it’s side to drain the oil. But hey I’m going on 19 years
