HRG 416 XB, 41cm
Honda · £540
Nice, but provisional
£540 for a 41cm cordless with a 1kW brushless motor and Honda battery management, which is real engineering and a name that holds its value. The difficulty is the company it keeps: the Echo cuts 5cm wider and self-propels for £111 less, and the Cobra adds a rear roller for £80 less. You are paying for the badge and the build rather than for the cut.
- For
- Someone who buys Honda on principle and keeps machines for fifteen years.
- Not for
- Anyone comparing cut width per pound, where both cheaper mowers here do more.
What we checked
- Honda pair a 1kW brushless motor with their Thermo-Smart battery management. Garden Machinery Direct
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
