Honda Eco Mower

Mowing a lawn is something that is best done little and often. Rotary mowers are designed to create a partial vacuum to make the grass stand up, so that it gets cut cleanly. When the grass gets long, then it takes longer to dry after rain. If you cut the grass when its wet, then the cut grass tends to clog up near the blade. Clumps of mown grass fall onto the lawn. Raking this up is time consuming and If you leave these in place, they will block out the light to the grass underneath and cause yellow patches. If you try to get around this problem by cropping the grass closely, but infrequently, the grass will not be as healthy. Grass that is cropped very short ...  Read the complete review

The Honda Eco-mower is a petrol driven, rotary mower. With an ample grass collector bag, it is a large mower suitable for the medium sized to larger garden. I wouldn't consider this mower for a small garden as it would be difficult to maneuver. On a larger garden it is ideal, being petrol driven it takes much of the hard work out of mowing the grass - just push the lever and go.

There are a number of cut heights - making it ideal ...  Read the complete review

The normal life expectancy of a mower used constantly like they were is no longer than a season. These things went on and on for about 3 ...  Read the complete review

Afetr spending years struggling with an electric mower and then a petrol Flymo that kept breaking I was determined to get a mower that would start first time, every time! When Honda launched their Eco range a coule of years ago I knew I had to get one. Not having a massive amount of grass I didn't need self propelled machine and the entry model is a 16" rotary just right for my needs. Having used it for two seasons now it is pure joy to wheel it out, pull the cord and cut the grass. The grass bag is huge and the cut quality very crisp, adjustable in height as well. Best of all it's quiet... compared with the cacophony that erupts in the ...  Read the complete review
