Just Bought A Honda HRX217K2VKA From Lowes

Our old lawn mower died this spring and needed to get a new one. Stopped by Lowe's and they had a whole range of products.

We wanted to get the best long term value, so we chose Honda mostly because of the Honda motor...it just goes and goes. The HRX217K2VKA has an auto choke, so its easy to start - 1 to 2 pulls and zoom, off to the grass track races.

We have a smaller yard with a few steep inclines but doesn't slow it down a bit. It is so easy to use.

Only problem we had, was when we got it out of the box, the emergency release handle was not connected. So the darn thing would not start. And frustrating was that the instructions did not say a word about it. And Lowe's customer service line was not working.

But we got past that and now every time works like a charm. Hoping it will last 5-7 years like our last one.

Honda Are The Best Mower Brand On The Market
by: Nathan Zimmerman

I'm from Greensboro, NC and I currently own a Honda HRX217VKA lawn mower that I bought about a year ago from a local Farm Supply store here in Greensboro. There really aren't many bad things to say about this lawn mower. It has been working flawlessly for me giving me zero mechanical issues.

The only thing that I do not like is that it doesn't cut as close to the fence as I would like it to. The mower is incredible easy to start, older adults should have no problem starting it. Also being a self-propelled mower, you don't have to be pushing the mower, just guiding it.

With a full tank of gas I am able to mow about half acre of land, which usually takes me about 2 or 3 hours depending on how many breaks I take. Although it's possible to mow large lawns with this mower, I still wouldn't recommend doing it.

The Honda HRX217VKA mower is designed for small neighborhood lawns because of the 17" diameter of the blades. All in all I would definitely recommend this brand to a friend in a heartbeat. You really can't go wrong buying a Honda product. They build their products with high standards.

This Honda lawn mower came with a 5 year warranty, but I doubt I'll ever need it because my last Honda mower lasted me over 10 years!

Another thing to note is the engine is incredibly quiet compared to my last mower. The mower also has something called a blade clutch, you simply release and it stops the blade. This allows you to still have the engine on without cutting anything. This is extremely nice when you noticed something in the lawn that can't be mowed and you need to move it out of the way. Instead of shutting the whole thing down and restarting it you can just release the blade clutch.
