How to Choose the Right Honda Lawn Mower

Honda’s lawn mowers are built to commercial landscaping standards, meaning that they can handle jobs from the roughest backyard work to everyday commercial use. Honda mowers have long been considered the leader in the field by professionals for delivering durable, reliable, quiet, and fuel efficient performance. These features are the result of advanced engineering, using only the highest quality components, and Honda’s cutting edge designs. Honda’s mowers consistently do the job while meeting the toughest emission regulations in the country.

Choosing the right Honda lawn mower is a matter of defining the types of usage which will be required and deciding on the level of features, convenience, and performance that will be necessary. The HRX series, considered to be the top of the line for Honda lawn mowers, comes loaded with features including the “Versamow System” which allows for 4 in 1 convenience of mulching, bagging, discharging, and leaf shredding with no additional tools or attachments. Additional features include Honda’s cruise control hydrostatic transmission and Roto- Stop, which allows for the blades to stop while the engine continues to run.

The HRR series of Honda lawnmowers offers outstanding options, features, and value. There are several models to choose from including features such as Smart Drive variable speed, Auto Choke, two position EZ fold handles, and the exclusive Honda QuadraCut twin blade system for state of the art mulching and bagging.

Honda HRS mowers offer Honda reliability, durability, and quality, with exceptional maneuverability and performance at a fantastic value. Features include 6 variable cutting heights ranging from 1" to 3 1/2" and features ergonomic design advances for superior handling, safety, convenience & comfort. The HRR series is also self-propelled, single speed and features side discharge and mulching capabilities.

Deciding Between a Portable and a Standby Generator

The importance of examining all issues prior to deciding on a Honda portable or a standby generator cannot be understated. While the general purpose of both types of generators is the same, the types of use and the conditions in which each one might be employed can be quite different. Portable generators are generally more versatile and are commonly used for recreational purposes such as camping, providing power for outdoor lighting, and powering other types of outdoor equipment. Portable generators can also be used to power up a residence, normally in a limited fashion, in the event of a power outage.

Residential standby generators, on the other hand, generally serve two purposes; automatically starting in the event of a power outage and delivering essential uninterrupted electrical power to designated appliances, rooms, tools, and devices. The fixed nature of standby generators limits their versatility but gives them a critical advantage when power must remain uninterrupted and long term power generation is mandated. The reason for this is that residential standby generators are generally designed to remain connected to the home’s circuitry through the main electric panel. This connection allows for a generator to power up either automatically using an automatic transfer switch, or by push button at the onset of a power outage. An added advantage and an extra layer of protection provided by a residential standby generator is that the addition of a USB battery accessory can ensure that power remains on during the changeover to generated power.

A portable generator, on the other hand, could possibly require fueling, movement from storage (possibly in inclement weather), and manual connection to the home’s circuitry. Under these circumstances, the transfer to power generated by a portable generator may take too long when medical devices or computers are in an “always on” status.

Another factor in the decision between a portable Honda generator and a standby is the length of time that power generation is going to be required. A smaller portable may have a run time of four hours between refueling which is fine for recreational use but could spell disaster in an extended power outage. Where longer runtimes may be required, a standby generator which is connected to a natural gas line allows for unlimited generation without refueling.
