    Good Points: Nice appearance, easy to remove and empty bag, good power, double blade.


    Bad Points: Unreliable! First one had a rod knock and took it back. Second one (this one) also developed a rod knock, but lasted four years. The transmission sticks (let go of the handle and it doesn't disengage), bad tends to fall off with bumps, and finally the engine quit. Bad valves.


    General comments: I have a 25 year old Honda snow blower that is just great, but based on my experience with the HRB217TDA Harmony I think Honda's quality has dropped. The reason I bought mine was because my next door neighbor got one, but he had nothing but problems with his too and got rid of it when it quit.
    As a result I will never buy another Honda mower.

Oil changed annually. and mower always started on first pull. 28 months into ownership. the engine just stopped running in the middle of cutting our lawn. Mechanic got it going. but said it was shooting flames out the exhaust a foot long and shut it down. Then said it would be at least 200 dollars to tear down the engine an ...
