Honda IZY HRG415 SDE Review

Overall Rating

Very good Easy Start engine.
Solid but basic machine.

Need to reset the grass height adjustment before you can fold the handle for storage.
No adjustment for operator handle height.
Small grass box.
Beware of right angle bracket which can catch your fingers when pulling the start rope.
Large storage footprint.

My insurance company offered me a HONDA HRG 415 SDE self propelled lawn mower as a replacement for my previous German machine BRILL 42BHR which had been stolen from my garden shed. Anyway the specification and price appeared similar to Brill in the £300 - £350 range and I accepted the Honda.
Apart from the Easy Start engine which did exactly as described I was generally dissappointed with the Honda''s lack of design features. Perhaps I have been spoiled by the Brill machine which offers so much more in terms of user friendly features.
