If anyone is in the market for a new lawn mower, I highly recommend the Honda HRX217HYA. I just bought a house and needed lawn equipment. Figured I'd spend a little extra to get something that would last. This thing is a beast.

Also hoping the Honda Versatool makes its way stateside. I like not having 6 different pieces of equipment. I ended up buying an Echo PAS.

I got the same Honda, without the blade stop. Great motor and love the plastic deck. Wish I had the blade stop.

I cannot remember what I gave for mine. This is the end of 2 seasons and zero complaints. I buy a tune up kit (spark plug, oil, air filer) from Home Depot every spring and has yet to not start by second pull. I always put Stabilizer in my fuel and drain the fuel during winter.
