The Honda
HRX217HZA is part of the
Lawn Mowers and Tractors test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Gas Mower
models like the HRX217HZA are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Side discharging:
A high score means clippings are dispersed evenly and far from the discharge chute. A top-scoring model prevents clumps, leaving your lawn looking clean and well-cut.
Mulching:
A high score means the mower produces finer clippings and spreads them evenly across the lawn. A top-scoring model leaves little visible residue and helps maintain a neat, healthy yard.
Bagging:
A high score means the mower's bag holds more grass clippings. A top-scoring model needs emptying less often and handles big jobs more easily.
