    I bought this model Honda two years ago. See this review: 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJS4YbWRgao. I have been satisfied with it. I have no use for a self-propelled mower. I think a push mower is easier to use. I never bag my grass and I also mulch all my leaves in the fall. I have .67 acres but about half of it is woods. I have found that the cheap mowers cut just as well as more expensive models. The most important things are to sharpen the blase and replace the air filter and the spark plug.

    I have gone through quite a few lawnmowers over the years including Lawnboy, Craftsman, Yardman, and a few others. The Lawnboys are the only ones that ever had engine problems. The money I spent on Lawnboy repairs would have been better spent on a new mower. The biggest problems I had with all of these mowers were with the cheap wheels. They would get loose and floppy. There is no way to fix them. I looked for a mower that wasn't self-propelled that had high-quality ball bearing wheels. The Honda HRS216 was one of the few that met that requirement. Another problem I ran into was the handles bending from pushing the mower up hills. Lawnboys seem to be susceptible to this issue. If you need to replace the handles, you might as well buy a new mower.

    I knows its flippant but I pay a local guy to come and cut my lawn and he takes the grass away so I dont need to buy and store a mower.
    Depends on the size of your lawn.
    Good mowing

  • I think the problem is not how much of a machine it is, but how big your garden is and how much time you can spend on it.
    With what I got from Techgara, this year's best choice is the Ego LM2102SP 56-Volt Cordless.
    In addition, Honda HRX217VKA is also a good choice.
    Toro Recycler 20340 is a name worth considering when the amount of money is quite little.
