Thank you for another great vid.
I almost purchased this mower.
Saw reviews…no way.
Purchased amazing used Honda HRX 217 for $300. I could not be happier with it. It is flawless from the engine to the cut quality.

5:13: "If you are an older person, do not exercise, or are maybe not that strong, this mower will give you a workout."
I feel seen. 🤣

Hey bud this is the mower i bought last week & after hearing some bad coments about it i decided to wait & look into things more before unpacking the mower & im glad i did cause once i found out about the plastic carburetor & all the other plastic & the bad user coments. I returned this mower yesterday & went straight to home depo & grabbed the Honda HRN 216 with the green dot on the box. Both mowers were the exact same price & i know after a few of your videos & all the horrible junk mower coments i know i defantly made the wright decision. I own a ariens Ikon X zero turn & a ariens Deluxe 28 snowblower & both fantastic machines & was happy to add the mower but what a shame to find out what the mower really is. Id return mine if i was you & get your money back. Thank you for the videos also.

After an extensive search I ended up with a Ferris FW15 walk behind mower. I added the mulch kit and oil drain hose. None of the other homeowner or commercial mowers in the 21-32” cut range could handle my mowing conditions (hills and tight quarters). It replaced my Toro Super Recycler push mower—the self propelled version lacked enough traction for the hills. With its Honda engine I’m sure it will become part of my estate… In the mean time it has excellent cut quality, handles the hills, is reliable, and a pleasure to use.

Thanks for the review! Doesn’t sound like something I want to invest about $800 in. Boy, am I going to miss Honda. I have two Hondas now and I never had that much trouble with them.

I bought the honda hrx217 last year. It handles everything I throw at it. Extremely uneven side lawn, exposed tree roots, tight corner areas. Still has my vote for one of the best mowers out there.

Excellent review, hope Ariens sees it and finds their way!

[AEAC]

Phenomenal review buddy. I feel ya on all those issues, they're unacceptable. It's clear that Airens' manufacturing partner in Mexico is the same as Toro's and that's disappointing.

On the RPM issues with bumps that was fixed for me via not filling the gas all the way to the top of the filler neck. Stopping about a quarter inch before the bottom of the neck remedied this issue for me permanently.

Outstanding coverage and thanks again!!!

Bought an Ariens Razor 10 year ago and sold it last summer to help a local guy start up his lawn care business. I ended up going Honda since Ariens was no longer selling mowers in Canada at that time. I have had great results with my Honda but always wondered if the new Razors would have been a better choice. Your video has settled that debate I’m glad I went Honda. My 2 stage Ariens compact that I’ve had for 10 years isn’t going anywhere and still looks and runs like new. My Honda HS720 has done most of the work however

[garyalensr]

WOW blades flying off? That's CRAZY!!!! I can't believe they would let a mower like this be sold. Great review JB

[timraber]

I was a Ariens dealer last week. They did not carry the push mower. Toro was their push mower of choice. I have found this mower at Menards.

Upgrade to exmark or scag for solid build quality . They come in 21 and 30 inch models. Sure, your going to pay a premium, but your getting everything the
Ariens lacks.

[MentalyDisturbd]

I have this mower love it and have never had any of these issue and cut 15 plus yards a week with it

[PWbflo]

After watching this, I am glad I did not wait around to try and hunt one of these down. Thanks for doing a service.

[garydunnjr]

Great review, honest and straightforward.. can’t say I’m not surprised, most things these days are made sketchy, and cost more..

[OnTheEdgeNow]

I bought an Ariens snowblower and love it. After your first review of this mower I bought a Honda instead and love it. Thank you for the great honest reviews.

[Thatweirduncle]

I have a ariens zero turn and love the thing. The only issue ive had with it is the mulching kit leaves a strip of grass in the center uncut, but just take it off and make it a side discharge and its fine. Im glad however that I did not buy this to compliment it. My old toro self propelled recycler finally died, and ended up looking at this, but went with a newer recycler instead. The old one came back after some work on it, but hey, its my grandmothers now, so...

[johndeere]

I have a few push mowers I will make a video of them at some point Im sure you want to see them running. The Airens is Brand New from 35-40 years ago with a 5hp Tecumseh, I believe it sat on a showroom floor or was in a box in a warehouse. Blade has original orage paint. I also have a brand new snapper from 30 years ago has never cut any grass whatsoever, I have the original documentation for it connected to the dipstick tube with the original ziptie. My Honda HRA214 has like like 1 hour on it also in nearly new condition but not showroom floor like my Airens or Snapper, its still a Beast with the Shaft drive to the rear wheels!!!

Used my Ariens Razor for 2 hours and got a bad noise in the rear, left wheel when pushing it forward/backwards, WITH THE ENGINE OFF! Took it to dealer for warranty and they installed a brand new transmission . 2 weeks old!!
