I've had the exact same Honda for four years now Ken. It's a dandy. Starts every friggin time, just runs and runs and runs. Heck, I just leave it under the deck all winter, it gets drifted in, covered in ice, then I pull it out in the spring, couple pulls..... Honda does make some things right. Their little suitcase generators and snow blowers are two other things they do extremely well.

Ken, Consumer Reports has their mower test results in the May issue. The Hondas are top-rated with several Toros close behind. The Honda you linked(and now bought)was given a "Best Buy" designation.

Thanks for all the input guys. I feel like I made a good choice. Now to go forth and not bend the crankshaft on this one with my stupid tree roots.

John. I'm surprised the Goat did not make the top of the list. It is undeniably the most reliable self propelled mower ever conceived.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

Apple makes the best lawnmowers, bar none. I have never seen a mower with better fit or finish than my Retina iLawn pro. Edit: Just scrolled up and saw that MSJ made the same joke. Great minds.

My next to last mower was a Snapper for $300. Was rear wheel drive propelled. I used it for about 7 years before buying a Husqvarna (has honda engine) for $500.
I much prefer the Snapper. Still runs good, but smokes a bit now.
Note: Was going to buy an Apple mower so it would mate with my iPhone, but Siri said I shouldn't.

The Honda is awesome. Mulched wet, 6 inch high grass with no problems at all.

...not good for the grass though.

Well, no, but this is my backyard, so... it's already pretty trashed. It tends to turn into a marsh whenever it rains, since it's sloped down and then has a raised bed at the back.
