Honda Lawnmowers: A Buyers Guide

Honda Lawnmowers: A Buyers GuideThis article is all about buying Honda lawnmowers

The History Of Honda Lawnmowers

From cars and motorcycles to lawnmowers and generators, Honda’s commitment to reliability, safety and the environment is without equal. Honda uses 4-stroke engines for all of its power products because they offer cleaner exhaust gas emissions, better fuel economy and lower noise levels. Before Honda introduced its models, people thought that only 2-stroke engines could be used for the ultra-compact products used for handheld operation. However, innovative Honda technology enabled the development of 4-stroke engines for these applications too. For the future, only one thing is clear. Whatever new technology is developed and whatever possibilities become realities, Honda innovation will be leading the way.

Honda Ethos

There’s a simple reason why you’ll see so many old Honda products still in use… They are built better to last longer. That’s not just an idle promise. It’s supported by the longest and most comprehensive guarantees you’ll find anywhere. Most lawnmowers come with an industry-leading 7 Year Warranty* for domestic use, with a 5 Year Warranty on ride-on and tractor mowers, tillers and handheld products – all covering both parts and labour. The warranty maintains the same value throughout its lifetime too, meaning the last day of the cover is exactly the same as day one: solid and dependable. With a Honda, reliability comes as standard

By far the most popular of the Honda lawnmower range is the Honda Izy range. The range includes the extremely popular Honda Izy HRG415PD which is a pushed wheeled mower with fantastic build quality, easy start Honda GC135 engine and great manoeuvrability, making it ideal for the smaller garden.

Honda HRX lawnmowerIf you keep a more formal lawn or are a professional gardener then you may want to consider the range of Honda HRX lawnmowers. They bring models bring new levels of comfort, safety and cutting performance to a medium/larger sized lawn. For greater versatility, their new Versamow™ system makes it simple to collect the clippings, mulch them, or a mix of both – with just a single lever. The safety features of the Honda HRX mowers are truly impressive and include Roto-stop® (lets you empty the grass bag, move objects out of your way in complete safety) and Blade Brake Control (stops the blades and the engine when you release the handle for your safety). Some HRX models include hydro-static transmission which provides a variable ground speed and, regardless of the speed the mower is travelling, it ensures the blades rotate at a constant speed. Lawnmowers that have an ‘H’ in the letters at the end of their model code have this feature.

If you would like to put stripes on your lawn, then consider one of the Honda rear roller mowers. They all feature the same features as their 4-wheeled counterparts but come with the added rear roller.


If you would like to mulch the grass instead of collecting, then Honda have a dedicated mulching lawnmower – The Honda HRS536 SD mower is a 21″ self propelled mulching lawnmower designed for larger gardens and packed full of features.

At the start of 2011 Honda also released a range of electric mowers for the smaller garden. These mowers brings Honda style, quality and ease of use to small gardens. Offering a choice of 33cm or 37cm cut models, these powerful yet light and easy to use lawnmowers incorporate Honda expertise from Honda’s market-leading petrol models.

Why Buy a Honda Lawnmower?

Honda exclusive technology Honda offers more groundbreaking innovations than any other manufacturer in the industry.

Details that make a difference

  • Better collection – Honda blades are designed to create smaller clippings, so bags hold 30% more clippings than other lawnmowers. Decks are designed so grass has only a short distance to travel to the bag. Wide deck and bag openings also improve the collection performance, making it easier than ever to collect your clippings.
  • Easy grass bag removal – Honda grass bags are balanced for ease in removal, even when full. The grass bag is simple to remove and install. There are no levers to latch or buttons to push. The bag easily passes through the handlebars for convenient access. Their wide openings make our bags also easy to empty.
  • Ball-bearing supported wheels – Each of our mowers offer ball-bearing supported wheels. These high quality wheels offer better manoeuvrability and a smoother ride. You’ll see better durability as well.
  • Ergonomic handles – The handlebars on Honda lawnmowers are designed with operator comfort and control in mind. All controls are easily accessible, and the handlebar can be held from multiple positions as preferred.

Which Honda Lawnmower Should I Buy?

Do you have a small lawn?
We recommend a Honda electric lawn mower – up to 1,600 watts of power, low noise, low maintenance, and with cutting widths between 33 to 41cms.

Do you have a medium-to-large or uneven lawn?
We recommend a Honda petrol mower – powerful and quiet engines, robust housing, and precision cutting widths of between 41 to 53cms.

Want to fertilize your lawn naturally?
Choose the Honda HRS536SD mulching mower or  a Honda mulching kit (consisting of a blade and plug) for your mower – all grass clippings are finely chopped and redistributed across your lawn.

Uniquely Honda

The Honda Versamow System™ is a revolutionary 4-in-1 system that allows you to Mulch, Bag, Discharge and Leaf Shred by simply altering the clip director. This feature is exclusive to HRX537 models, and mulching kits are available for other models as accessories.
