Thank you for the review on the Honda and I was hoping you can help me on future reviews is to specify what the electric mower base is made off. Coming from the old Massport and Honda petrol which had a solid die cast aluminium bases which never rusted but due my aging body was unable to start them anymore decided to buy a 58 V AEG mower kit. The AEG base is made of a pressed steel then painted. After 5 years the base is heavy rusted, and all the 7 batteries purchased in that time frame developed faults. AEG to its credit had refunded money for some of the batteries under warranty and replaced 3 recently with larger batteries to compensate the losses.

How do you rate this mower from initial impressions compared to ego, or the ST19 60v masport you tested?

[adnanmansour]

How does the Honda battery range compares to the petrol engine in terms of cutting capability and look. I have the Stihl top of the range battery mower, but the cutting is far from perfect/even! Thanks

[NancyBryantIdeas]

Sounds like good maintenance mower for a small lawn.

[LZYEYEST]

Very interested to see your thoughts on the Makita 40v max mowers if you manage to get your hands on them. Have the brush cutter and power head / accessories and chainsaw. Love them all.

How does the cut compare to HRX217HXA? Great info thanks.

Timmy still not seeing many of the Honda or stihl for that matter battery mowers in Aussie yards. The power tool manufacturers where you can use your existing branded batteries are really appealing to consumers.

2 things. You can get 2x4AH batteries for the price of a 6AH and have one on charge as you use the other. You can get 3 for the price of the 9AH. Second please do a review on the HHT36 brushcutter. I am seriously considering one but not sure if it'll do my heavy grass. We get a tough clumping grass here Brisbane west and you need grunt. I assume the 36 is meant to be similar power to the UMK435 ??

Did they ever sell these in the USA? I know they are pulling out of the USA market for push mowers. I don't think they even bothered with the battery operated ones here. Probably due to the price. They wouldn't sell here at that price. The top of the line EGO is $850 with a battery and there are cheaper options. I even saw a Milwaukee with two 12ah batteries and charger for $850 total. But I'll still with my Toro super recycler from 2004 for now.

$1450 wtf 😳 I’d want it to have a coffee machine attachment for that price…

[troybalster]

18 and 16 inch is a bit small. My ego is a 21 inch and I don't think I would go with anything smaller than that. If you have a really small yard it wouldn't be too bad.

please try dewalt range garden tool tim

Now if Honda sold these in North America, we'd be golden.

Looks good Tim.
I’m loving my ego, self-propelled mower that I got for Christmas.

I've got a 4 stroke Honda Buffalo HRU19R, older model, great mower. I also bought a Ozito 36v self propelled battery mower with 2 x 4ah batteries and 2 quick chargers as a package. The ozito has a mulch and catch feature as well as side discharge, I was already into Ozito gear so I had 2 x 4ah batteries already, the mower can have 4 batteries in it so it can change from one to the other if the first 2 batteries are used up, this hasn't happened yet. The Ozito would be suited better to medium lawns at say 100m2 out front and back, it does chop the grass at times especially when long. I've used my neighbour's Stihl battery mower and the quality is noticable between them. But for $400 on promotion at the time, I got a great deal. I think the Bigger brands are better in quality but the Ozito stands up, I don't see the sence in paying $1, 400 for a battery Mower when you could get a solid 4 stroke for less, or go with the Ozito or other, especially for those little lawns they have these days. Anyway thanks for the video on the Honda Tim.

Aaand, the price is ridiculous. That's why I went with the gas mower.

[mracer]

If I have your front and back lawn, I will get a push reel mower and call it a day, it will cut a better lawn, it will be cheap and it will last forever!

[n.granger]

Paying the Honda badge tax on battery gear that they have zero pedigree in? Not for me - and I say this owning 3 petrol Hondas.

[MrThuggery]

Shits me to tears manufactures just supplying skin only when it's a new model! Supply the full kit. Thanks for the vid.

I have a small yard, and I just love my ego. But one thing I noticed about the Honda. It just seems to run quieter to me.
