Came to this comment because I'm in the same boat. My parents bought the old house in 92 and with it a Lawn Boy Silver Series to replace a rusty reel mower. It still runs SO MANY YEARS LATER but burns a ton of oil and sputters at idle. I gave it to my friend who's been on hard times and just got the hrn. Very happy with it
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
This is my first Honda mower and it will be the last from Honda. After just one cut on leveled yard of a two year-old house with no tree in the yard, except from some flowers, and the oil started leaking out slowing. It leaked onto the blade cover as well as underneath it. I called Honda and was told the mower has to be registered in their system for a week in order for them to determine if it's under warranty or not. They also said that I have to pay for the inspection by their authorized shop.
@@Carlos.Rivera tilting the mower to the oil side won't cause an issue as it says it in most manuals, just be aware to disconnect spark plugs/close the fuel lines. Looks like this other comment was about their issue and wondering why it would leak oil
My Toro mulches better and leaves a cleaner cut. I wish I would have got another Toro. The Honda runs great though, so far. Can I use the blades for a HRX for the HRN? It seems those blades lift the grass up better. I'm not as impressed as I thought I'd be with going by the reviews of the HRN216.
Question please: re. smart drive lever.. it I hold it part-way to full deflection, aren't I effectively riding/slipping a clutch mechanism? My honda dealer told me to hold it fully open only (I'm not sure).
Hola, buen dia. He visto por ahi que Honda saco o suspendio la venta de estos modelos de mercado, porque venian con un problemas en la biela de valvulas, creo, que hacia que en el arranque no dejaba salir la admision de gases, y eso requeria mucha fuerza al tirar de la cuerda de arranque, ud sabe algo de eso? gracias, saludos
These comments are starting to worry me that I might have bought a piece of junk lawnmower I haven't even gotten out of the box and I'm wondering if I should return it this mow costs $760 with the extended warranty and from reading these comments it sounds like I should have checked the reviews of this company before buying the product I don't want a lawnmower lm going to have issues with everytime it time to cut the grass
How do I make it cut higher than the highest settings? Bigger wheels? I dont think they exist. This mower cuts crass too short, even on highest wheels settings. Short grass drys and dies. need tall grass
Yes. I figured out the plastic bag holders to the metal frame is the reason. When you put the bag on, kind of spread the plastic bag holder on the right and left side outwards and it will seat properly. Else, the bag is barely held on to those slots and it bumps out when your lawn mower goes through a bump. Over time the plastic holders will seat in that position.
Also should check for old grass clippings in the discharge old grass clumps will stop the positioning from mulch to bag or vice versa take off the bag and clean out the discharge out port
My 25 year old Lawn Boy finally died. I just bought this mower bc Honda has never done me wrong with their cars.

@@havnt3782 i do, need to sharp the blades and oil change

return it and get a new one?
Thank you! So no side discharge? I am worried about undercarriage build-up of clippings cuz I prefer to mulch bagless. Thoughts?
I bought one. it doesnt collect. make sure grass isnt wet, and theres a spray you can spray underneath to prevent grass stick

Smart Drive quit working after only a few uses.. how do u fix this issue ??
It's a good Lawn Mower
My husband says it goes too fast and it’s only one speed and he can’t keep up with it. How do you slow it down?
You have to push the throttle just alittle, And it will go the right speed.
The answer to this question is in the video. Go to 5:32 and start watching. It is NOT only one speed.
run faster
@@user-gg2em7sr5z lol they need a faster husband

I have filled, oil, gas and turned valve on trying to start the machine. It won't start. It's a brand new mower, can anyone help me please
Never thought id be defeated by a lawnmower.
How so?
it had broken my spirit
Dude get back up on the horse
I have trouble with the clippings bag falling off while operating. Other than that it’s a great mower.
He said to make sure the channel the bag attaches to is clean or it will fall off.
@@KC_Woodworks_LLC Mine still falls off and it is clean
@@amypagano5998 why does it fall off?
Usually because there’s debris that gets lodged in the slots where the bag sits
Don’t use the bag use the mulch option
IS TRUE REA ReaR DISCHARGE BAG IS NOT SAFE??
My grass bag constantly falls off the little bracket area. Any little bump I hit or when I turn, it falls off..anyone else notice this?

Hrr 216 review?
I prefer the HRC 216 this model cheap compared to this but then. The other model is expensive
How the hell do you change from bag to mulch without breaking the lever
Also should check for old grass clippings in the discharge old grass clumps will stop the positioning from mulch to bag or vice versa take off the bag and clean out the discharge out port
Mine won’t start … new out of box returning tomorrow!
Did it come with oil.
@@SANCHEZFLA863 yes oil , I used good gas. They said it was defective.
