I agree for the most part BUT the all will have trouble rolling backwards at some point. The rear wheel system is way over engineered and the problems were never addressed but were left up to us to remedy. All that said I have 2 of them that even with the "issue" I probably won't replace.

@@SomeGuysGarage more reliable, didn't leak oil, the plastic parts on it didnt break, always started on one pull (honda sometimes takes multiple), the bag holds the grass better (actually fills it all the way up), etc.. Don't get me wrong, I abuse the honda and it still keeps going...hell, i haven't changed the oil on it in 6 years, but the toro was just a better mower. I think it cut better too, personally.

Honda mowers are garbage, don't buy. I have two, within 6 months everything falls apart. They are constantly in the shop and Honda is the only mower vendor that doesn't stand behind their products and does not offer a warranty. I am sorry I spent my money on Honda.

I'm surprised to hear that, mine hasn't had a single issue yet in a few years, nothing broken, just normal clean it and sharpen the blade stuff.

​@@SomeGuysGarageI have two, both are in and out of the shop on a regular basis. If you have a small yard then this mower is ok. But keep in mind Honda doesn't stand behind their products like other manufacturers do. If anything fails, you pay because Honda only pays for manufacturing defects, which is another way of saying they will pay for nothing.

I’ve bought two Hondas and they both started surging within a few months

Bad gas?

[@Trump-sucks]

That is pretty unbelievable. My Toro that was very expensive can't mulch shit. Switching to a Honda.

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Yea, just chews it up and spits er' out!
