I bought the same exact mower a couple months ago and it’s a beast. I love it and recommend it highly. Also my first self propelled mower and I’m sold.
You’re really going to like this machine and you’ll never regret becoming its first owner. My fried Jose and I both went to Home Depot on the same day eighteen years ago each to buy ourselves new mowers. He bought a Honda and I bought a Toro Recycler with a Honda motor and ironically we both bought new mowers this year. He bought a new Honda while I bought my first cordless electric mower a Toro 60v Recycler. I use my powered mower once per week when I rake beforehand but I mow three times per week with a manual reel mower by Hudson Star. I’m in Florida and have Bermuda grass. You’re correct that these are fantastic outdoor vacuums. Best of luck.
Thank you that help me. When unboxing my bag rack was pushed down under the front plate and behind the front wheel. So I had to remove the wheel to start.... Then I had to laugh when trying to figure out how to set up the catch bag.... You helped me. Thanks. From Florida
I have been repairing outdoor power equipment for over a decade at this point, and Honda makes some of the best in the industry. I routinely see Honda machines from the 1980's that just need basic tune-ups and function perfectly. I literally cannot say that about any other engine manufacturer.
I have a 216 bought new in 2006. 15 years old. You should always let a engine idle for a couple of minutes before shut off. With that model you cannot idle down .bad for the engine. You get what is “heat sock”
Yeah buddy! Nice to see you doing a review on one of these bad boys. Not only do I collect vacuums, I have a collection of lawn mowers too. As I watch more of your videos I realize that you have the same passion for engine's and motors. Keep it up, I really enjoy your videos.
FYI, @ 9:11. the Prop 65 from California was one of the big reasons that Honda is ceasing production of lawn mowers as of 9/23....thanks for that State of La la Land..
Great video and unboxxing. I must admit though I don't think I'd have you mow my lawn. Idk if I've ever seen anyone mow in circles... I've seen squares even triangles but not circles lmao whatever works I guess
Nice looking machine, but it has an awful lot of plastic where it should be metal. I might still buy one though when my 1996 Toro super recycler stops running. It has one of those crappy briggs and Stratton motors on it, so it should be any year now!

This is my first lawnmower and I was so confused. Thanks for making this video

Just purchased this lawn mower. Glad to see so many people with good experiences with it. It seems like I made the right choice!

Greatest mower I ever bought. Keep a Velcro strap on the handle to use when you need to empty the bag👌🏽(because releasing the handle turns it off)
Great video and very useful tip on the oil. We just bought ours today and are so excited at how easy everything is!

Good job I’m taking mine out of the box tomorrow. Thanks for the knowledge.
You made a great choice Honda is one of the best. I have a HR214 from the 80s still working.
Just got the same exact lawn mower as a gift can't wait to start using it👍👍
I absolutely love my Honda mower
Me too
Great choice. Honda makes very good lawnmowers. As long as you take care of it, it will last a very long time.
That was a great purchase! I got the HRX and don’t regret it at all.
Looks like a great mower, for overgrown areas I still use an early 80s Honda hr216...
Thanks for the review, I'm going today to pick one up
Looks great my fellow coloradoian! Elizabeth here.

That’s a really nice machine. You’ll get many years of use out of it for sure. Is that all the grass you have?
No unfortunately that was just a small patch in the back.
I just bought from Home Depot, confused between many brands and also battery vs Gas. Best Honda HRN 216.
Always go with gas.
@@AwesomeVacuums Movers are so scary 😥😔😭🤧😣🐇
I hate seeing so many bad reviews on this mower i bought this one and haven’t got to use yet
Great lawnmower
The mulch/collector lever allows you to do one or the other, while also doing a 50/50 mulch/bag. Great machine.
The belt is exposed without a cover? What stops the clipping from clogging it up?
It’s been 2 years now, how is the mower holding up? Thanks for the video
It runs like new still. I am going to do an oil change soon on it. It's over due. The bag is a little small but I don't use the bag most of the time.
Why does the mower need 2 blades? is one mulch-cutting blade not enough?
"More better "
You checked the oil incorrectly. You are not supposed to thread the dipstick.
I just got my mower today and it starts and everything but the blades don’t move at all and won’t cut what should I do
Call Honda or return it if you can
Anybody got a bigger compatible bag with this?
That's a good question. I actually use the bag today and it fills up really fast.
Nice looking machine, but it has an awful lot of plastic where it should be metal. I might still buy one though when my 1996 Toro super recycler stops running. It has one of those crappy briggs and Stratton motors on it, so it should be any year now!
I use a 1970s lawn boy two stroke
Hondas have balls
I have a Honda push mower also
My car takes 0W 20 motor oil
Prop 65: This Product is known by the state of cancer to cause California.
Yes everything causes cancer in the state of California 🤣😂
Making and viewing unboxing videos is a form of mental illness...
Why? Instead of 15 minutes of reading tiny print in a manual, you can watch/listen to a video and just skip to the part you need.
