Honda HRX2172VKA Review

Push / Walk-Behind Lawnmower  9/10

By

Honda HRX2172VKAAt $699, this Honda self-propelled mower is expensive, but as they say, you get what you pay for. With this machine, that includes a 4-in-1 cutting system that efficiently mulches, bags, and discharges clippings and shreds leaves. The rear bag’s capacity is adequately large at 2.5 bushels, and the twin blade system cuts grass into extra fine pieces. We appreciated the 7 height positions from 0.75″ to 4″, which provide a wide range for all types of grass and terrain. While it’s heavy at 89 pounds, the self-propelled motor is strong and the large, rugged wheels make it easily maneuverable.
