Thumbs up. This is the true test. Take the residential mower and put it in a commercial environment. The deck still looks good and you know this thing has been working overtime. The wheels are worn but what can you expect in this sort of scenario. I saw Garage Gear put some mountain bike tires over the stock wheels.

I use honda engines for 90% of my equipment for my business. Always starts never yet had a real problem.

I bought my HRN 216 from Home Depot a few weeks ago. I live in the SE and let my grass get 10 or so inches. This mower has had no issues running through the thick stuff. I keep the mower height on 4" for now. Roughly 3500 SF of cutting surfaces. It's perfect 👌🏽.

Cant go wrong with this mower. It doesnt have enough power to do heavy grass, but few push or self propelled mowers do. The wheels wear out quickly on these in 1-2 years.

Appreciate it, glad you found it helpful

That's a phenomenal deal that you got. You can tell that you've put a lot of time in with it based on the wear on the wheels. I'm really tempted by Honda, though I'm a bit concerned with Honda getting out of the business that I might have trouble getting replacement parts 5 or 6 years down the line. I would hope even if Honda stopped making parts that a third party company would step in and start making replacement parts for Honda mowers.

I would absolutely look into it. In my area the returns and repairs sit sometimes for a while. The price may not even be on it anymore. The key is to ASK the manager. The manager told me the day before if I wanted it he would sell it for $199 but the sales associate that didn't know the price just guessed and said it's probably 10 percent off. I told her the manager told me $199 she looked at me like I was lying so she called him and the look on her face said it all when she repeated the $199 I told her in the first place.

@@Manifestmowing Thanks. You probably saved me some money as I will damn sure check with the manager from now on. Ah it sounds like you may have just gotten a cool af manager. For a second I was thinking that 64% off was just a Lowes policy price for that model of return. To be fair you can't really blame the girl though. I'd have thought you were lying too, 64% off for a returned item is pretty nuts. I buy previously returned items all the time (albeit with musical instruments usually at Sweetwater) and the best I've seen is 20% off but usually less.

I honestly didn't think I would like the side discharge but was pleasantly surprised. It actually works very well. I can't speak to if the HDX is worth the extra $200. But in my opinion if I had to guess it probably is because this mower has been that good. It still runs like a champ and always starts on the first pull and has a great cut quality.

@@Manifestmowing In my opinion some rubber on the wheels, bearings instead of whatever this has, a little bit more power, they barely larger bag and whatever else is not worth 200 more dollars! Rubber trade from a mountain bike tire $20 plus a handful of short screws a slightly larger lawnmower bag $53 to $55. So you can have the larger bag and drippy rubber wheels with barely less power for about $625! Or in your case about $275!! So no I don’t believe it’s worth another $200 for $75-$100 worth of parts and maybe like a half hp to 1 hp more. Because with those $75 of upgrades it will be a fantastic mower and you also probably save some weight of about 10 pounds weight savings! You’re paying those $200 for a few things that don’t really matter and about 10 extra pounds heavier of a mower! Which would be like paying $200 for your girlfriend or whatever to gain 10 pounds!😂
