Honda Harmony Hrb215sxa

Pros: Built to last and always ready to go
Cons: May rub you raw

I know many women who would agree that it doesn’t require much effort to get a man started, when it comes to talking about tools. Yeah, the hand tools are fine – but give me something with a motor and I’m normally a pretty happy camper. I must say...

Pros: dependable engine and mower, great dry grass mulching
Cons: wet grass performance, clutch engagement, 3-speed transmission (get the hydrostatic instead!)

Mulching Kit: The blade is actual two blades--one to make the initial cut, and the other up top to mince the blades into small pieces. Bagging Kit: Includes "high lift" single blade that is easy change by loosening two bolts (although they ...

Pros: Easy, glides through all grass
Cons: Get the self propelled, don't wanna pusher

I've been using Honda 521's (5 H.P. motor with a 21 inch cut)for years. I owned a landscaping company in Dallas,Texas, and this was my mower of choice for over 7 years until I sold the business. I had 4 Hondas that I literally used until the wheels fell...

Pros: Sturdy, reliable.
Cons: Cannot cut more than 1" of grass; underpowered.

I have owned this lawn mower for five years. Its condition is as good as new...unfortunately. While it has been remarkably durable, sturdy, and reliable, it is simply underpowered, and therefore impossible for me to recommend. I almost wish that it...

Pros: Great Cut and Ease of Operation
Cons: None

General Info on my mower

The version I am reviewing is actually the second generation (child) of the mower I actually have. My mower is 16-18 years old at this point. My father bought it before I could drive and when I mowed a huge...

Pros: Mulches
Cons: not powerful enough to mulch easily, stalls, chokes and unreliable

I always pined for a Honda mower....so when it was time for a new one, ponied up the 600 plus dollars for the HRM215SDA model, (serial # 6150664...it was easy to find the serial number off of one of the many service tickets in my file) and went home to...

Pros: Quietness, blade clutch, hydrostatic drive, Zenoy deck, starting ease, warranty.
Cons: Cutting efficiency, pre-use warmup, super-long handle.

As my opening comment, I do not know what changed from the "215" to the "216" model. I suspect it was little, but this seemed an appropriately comparable mower to include in this review section.

Our old push mower from Wally World finally bit...

Pros: Quite, Honda reliability, easy to use, great features
Cons: Heavy, flimsy wheel adjusters

Honda mowers have a reputation of excellence and this model is no exception. Smooth, quite and easy to use, and lots of great, useful, reliable features, made this the ideal choice. Recently, this model comes with both the mulching blade and the bagger,...

Pros: Durable and easy to use. Great performance when used per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Cons: Expensive, but I feel that I got what I paid for.

I used my HRM215SXA for 2 years prior to replacing it 14 months ago with an HRM215HXA. The most obvious difference is the hydrostatic transmission, vrs. the two speed. Both mowers were purchased from a Honda dealer and each one was set up properly and...

Pros: Popular Name, Looks good, Starts well
Cons: Does not cut grass, Pain to clean up, Motor dies when engage clutch, ...

If Your grass grows buy something else.

This review is for one of two Honda Harmony mowers that I purchase. One Mulcher and one Bagger. Both mowers are the same except for the blades and the mulching plug.

The Mulcher will not cut...

Pros: Hard plastic deck for longevity
Cons: Can't mulch most of the year

I was searching for the best lawn mower available, as I take great pride in my lawn, and had read good reviews about Honda's in "Consumer Reports" magazine. I was unhappy with the last front wheel drive mower I owned since it had a tendency to tear up...

Pros: Extremely reliable, excellent mulching, relatively quiet, high quality feel, solidly and intelligently built, easy operation
Cons: Expensive, pull start can be a little firm, a little heavy when not self-propelled

UPDATE on July 6, 2004: I am still very happy with the mower. It has been extremely reliable--it starts easily every time and has done so since July, 2001. I am in Dallas, Texas, and mow once a week in the fast growing season and once every two weeks ...

Pros: Reliable. Starts on 1st pull every time. GREAT at mulching leaves and grass.
Cons: Stalls out frequently when cutting wet or tall grass.

This is definitely the Cadillac of Lawnmowers.it'll probably last forever(plastic deck), but performance-wise you'd do better to purchase a TORO for about 3/4 of the price. I've been using the Harmony for about 4 years. There are two speeds on the...

Pros: Honda reliability, ease of operation.
Cons: Not the cheapest, but overall, you get what you paid for.

A very powerful and well built product. Works exactly as it was designed. I've heard from neighbors and read reviews about the unit being too slow, the clutch not engageing properly, doesn't mulch, won't cut wet grass, and various other problems. The...

Pros: Popular Name, Looks good, Starts well
Cons: Does not Mulch, Pain to clean up, Motor dies when engage clutch, ...

If Your grass grows buy something else.

I purchased two Honda mowers and dislike the Mulching capabilities with these mowers. Dealers stated that it would bag and Mulch with simple change of plug.

after receiving the two I...
