The review below is a synthesis of reviews conducted by ConsumerSearch.com, an independent research firm. They compile the results from multiple sources such as Consumer Reports, Consumer Digest, Amazon, Smart Money and others and synthesize the results to draw their conclusions.
It's expensive, but reviews praise this top-ranked Honda self-propelled gas mower for both mulching and bagging grass clippings. Instead of choosing one or the other mode, you can set the mower to bag a certain percentageof clippings. This electric-start lawn mower meets even California's strict standards for emissions, and it's available in the other 49 states as well. The mower carries a three-year warranty and has a rustproof deck, but it's expensive -- and hard to find, except from specialty dealers. The less expensive Honda HRX2172HXA (*est. $800) just lacks the electric start.
The 21-inch Honda HRX217K2HMA is a top-rated self-propelled gas lawn mower with luxury features that include an electric ignition, a Honda OHV engine and variable-speed cruise control. It's noted for its variable mulching and bagging system, letting the user use one lever to set a percentage of clippings to be bagged rather than having to choose one or the other modes. The Honda HRX217K2HMA meets California's strict standards for emissions. If you can live with a mower that doesn't do as good a job at mulching, the less expensive Lawn-Boy 10795 Insight Platinum (*est. $550) doesn't have a California Air Resources Board-compliant fuel system but does use a less polluting Honda OHV engine. It has a faster maximum speed and longer warranty.
The top three comparison reviews -- Consumer Reports, NoisePollution.org and Choice (the Australian equivalent to Consumer Reports) -- put the Honda lawn mower through objective comparison tests. The single-product review at ConsumerGuide.com is less formal but more detailed. Reviews at Consumers Digest and Men's Health magazines are based more on features. We found more than 50 owner-written reviews of the Honda HRX series of lawn mowers at Epinions.com, and a review in Popular Mechanics magazine is useful in comparing the cruise-control system on the HRX series with that of the newer HRR lawn mowers.
