alot of people have been discouraged from buying honda motors because of the price and because of the unfamiliar new engine technology. i say that it is denfinatly worth it. the quadracut system cuts the grass up into finer pieces than any other mower i haveever used. this makes mulching easier and gives you more time between bagging. the build quality is great and it lives up to its expectations.
the powerful OHC motor puts out a modest 5.5 horses from 160 cc's and is the most fuel efficent motor i have ever come across for any lawnmower. another feture i like is the throttle lever that allows you to let it idle while you are moving ot somewhere else. however unlike its higher priced brothers cousins this does not have the blade brake that keeps the eingine running. the three speed transmission it done qquitenicly however another speed with a more medium range would be nice. for the price it is a great buy and you can go wrong with a honda
Note: alot of companies are offering there mowers with the same engine for significantly less. i would advise staying away from those because even though the motor is of high qualuity the rest of the unit may not be.
