Advantages: power driven, economical on fuel, large collection bag

Disadvantages: not suitable for a small garden

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. It does take some time to get used to the power drive and cornering - when you set it off for the first time make sure you're in the middle of the garden with plenty of room or you'll be off into a flowerbed before you know it! There are a number of cut heights - making it ideal for first and end of season cuts when you don't want to be so vicious. Although a rotary blade it has an excellent action and a very clean cut. Being petrol driven means there's no worry about running over cable which I find a bonus. The height of the handle can be adjusted but even at it's lowest is still quite high if you're around the 5ft mark. It is an expensive investment, the range starts at approx. £240 but for a larger garden it is probably money well spent. My lawn mowing duty has gone from 45 mins to 15-20 mins and strangely enough this machine is fun to use so it doesn't seem such a chore! I have found it very economical on petrol.
