Honda engines are well known for their high quality. The 160 cc engine of this lawn mower is very reliable and is powerful enough to efficiently take care of lawn that hasn’t been touched for quite a while.
The cutting process is very efficient, thanks to the unique twin blade system of this lawn mower. The upper blade cuts off the top of the grass while a larger blade finishes the cut to your set height.
The mower comes with a very large grass bag (2.4 bushel). It is almost one and a half times larger than what you get with some other mowers, which means less time spent emptying it.
This lawn mower has a self-propulsion system that can be set to speeds up to 4 mph. This significantly eases the job and makes the mower suitable for older people.
If the terrain is rough or the grass is very tall, you can easily change the height of the mower by setting it to one of six positions. It can be set to be up to 4" away from the ground, enough to go over very uneven surfaces and cut down overgrown grass.
This mower's wheels are made from high-quality rubber. Those are, by far, more durable than the regular plastic wheels which can be found on cheaper units.
While lots of gas lawn mowers come with a manual choke system, this has an auto choke system that works flawlessly and eases the starting of the mower.
This trimmer does require some maintenance to stay operational for a long time. You'll have to monitor the oil levels, occasionally clean the filters, and do external cleaning to prevent it from rusting.
Because of its lightweight design, easy maneuverability, quiet operation, and the limitations of the use of batteries, it is best used on lawns that are well maintained, without tall and thick grass. If the grass is easy to cut the mower should last enough to complete the job without overheating or simply running out of juice.
This lawn mower has six different height positions (between 1.5" and 4"), so you can things like setting it to a high position and for initialing cutting the top of the grass, and then finishing it off to our desired height.
Due to its light weight and well-designed deck, you will have no trouble maneuvering between obstacles, and working in tight spaces. The deck has thin borders and it is the widest part of the mower, so you can cut the grass really close to walls and objects.
This lawn mower comes with two 40 V 2.5 Ah batteries. When you mow the lawn, you can store the second battery inside the mower and quickly swipe them on the go.
If the grass is very long, it is better to set the mower to the highest position, as it can overheat quickly. If it overheats, it switches off, and you have to wait until it cools down.
If the grass hasn’t been mowed for a while, you can still use this mower, but that might put some unwanted pressure on both the tool and its batteries.
