Best Mower I've Ever Owned
By Christopher O. 
Indiana
Purchased 06/21/2023 | 
Review Posted 07/15/2023 
I've owned Honda mowers for over 20 years now and have always been impressed with their durability and ease of starting year after year, which has what has kept me loyal to them. I've had a couple of models that I didn't think had an exceptional cut, but this model has it all. The only ding I can give it is on the price. Bit expensive at over 1k, but since it's a Honda I expect it to pay for itself over its long life span.

Poor Performance

Review Posted 07/14/2023 
Electric start doesn’t work and when you attempt to pull start it almost breaks your arm. Not sure where to take it to get it fixed since I, unfortunately, bought it online. Assume it’s under warranty. Only 1 month old and it’s already malfunctioned.

First and foremost, thank you for your purchase. We are sorry to hear you are having issues with your unit and want to reassure you factory warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship. Honda would need to be contacted directly at (770) 497-6400 directly to start the warranty process if you have not done so yet. You can also use the LINK to find a local service center. If their service doesn't meet your expectations, or if there's anything else we can please email us and we will be happy to help. We will forward your review to the manufacturer so they are aware of the situation.

We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience.

Review Posted 07/02/2023 
I love this mower!! It's got an electric start that charges as it runs, so I never have to worry about that. The gas & oil access is easy to get to. The bag is so easy to remove and replace and the mulcher leaves grass so small it easily blends back into the lawn. My land is on a slope and I can easily turn up the drive and it practically pulls me up the hill! The blade/drive disconnect immediately upon release of the bars, so I don't have any worries about the mower taking off without me. I don't have any negative comments as of yet. This is my first gas mower as I'm from California and aside from last winter, there was NO rain to grow much of a lawn, so I only had small electric (corded, not battery) mowers in the past. This is a much heavier mower and can handle all the terrain in my yard. Adjustable wheels in front and back help me to get over dirt patches too. It's way more expensive than any other mower I've had, but I can confidently say, this will be my last mower and my kids are excited to inherit it! Highly recommend. 10/10 for ease of use and results. My lawn looks fantastic after I mow!

I literally told a friend yesterday I wanted to wash wax and detail it. I love this mower. The clutch controls are placed perfect. Easy to use. The key start is a real bonus.

New Lawn Mower Purchase OInline
By Glenn J. 
Massachusetts
Purchased 05/27/2023 | 
Review Posted 06/20/2023 
Product is a new walk behind Honda gas powered lawnmower. The product speaks for itself. It has all the bells and whistles electric start, self-propelled, mulching and bagger. I have purchased other items from PED and they never fail to surprise me with the product and delivery. This product arrived as scheduled and was as simple to assemble as can be. Pour the oil in as directed, did a quick safety once over and she started her right up. Happy Lawn, Happy Customer!

This mower is of good quality. The GX engines are as reliable as they come and the drive system is as smooth as butter.
