Excellent Mower An excellent mower which exceeded my expectations. The Honda engine is superb and starts on first easy pull every time. The 5 Year warranty is a buying point too. Service from MowDirect was first class from easy order to very quick delivery.

Absence Makes the Heart go Honda!! My name is Dan and I used to own an orange hover mower. There I've said it. My shame is out. But don't judge me for I have seen the light!

From its sexy silver steel deck to the Honda engine you can start with a mere tickle rather than a full on hernia inducing lurch, the Mountfield HP425 is an absolute delight.

Every part of the design is top notch and for what you get, the price is a bargain. But more importantly than its list of (admittedly impressive) tech specs, the thing I will be most grateful for is that it has actually made me enjoy mowing the lawn again. I used to stare out of the window, silently seething at each blade of grass' minuscule but unrelenting growth. Praying for winter so that I could get a few months off from garden duty. But now I'm just counting down the days until I can get this beauty back out of the shed for another spin around the green.

God bless you Mountfield and Honda, you have spawned a machine I will love forever. No annoying cable, no sweeping the neighbourhood to pick up grass cuttings that have blown far and wide. No hunched posture and profanity-laden mumblings. Just man and machine in perfect harmony.

A Mountfield/Honda Great Combo I have been a fan of Honda for a long time having owned a generator and a mower. But this model is a great combo of a great engine and great build.

Assembly: Its simple enough as all you are doing is threading four bolts to stiffen the handle. Oil: First fill-up comes with the new mower.

Performance: I just completed the first cut of the season and it was long and heavy but this machine made quick work of it. Turn on the fuel valve. pull the safety lever back and first east pull and it starts and cuts. The basket is easy to pop on and off and there is no noticeable grass spillage when you take it off to empty.

I have a slope on part of my lawn and coming from an electric this is a bit heavy, but not so much to dampen my enthusiasm for this purchase.

Service and delivery were also great.

Excellent delivery, easy assembly, cut 4 small lawns with ease with mulch facility, very good result. Wanted this machine to replace an electric rotary, fed up with cables. As my lawns are small and flat but have cut outs, I decided that a 16'' self push was the best option.
I have not been disappointed, this machine started first time and every time I stopped as well.
The reason I gave 4 stars for features is that for my use the handle could be 6'' shorter, which would enable a tighter turn, a minor point in the specification of an otherwise superb machine.

An excellent mower at a super price. After a great deal of searching the web for my first petrol mower I settled on the Mountfield HP425. The fact it had the facility to both collect the grass and mulch it was a big plus for me. On receiving the mower and reading the instructions I was up and running in no time. One pull and the Honda engine kicked into life.
The three main reasons for choosing this mower were the Honda engine, the mulching facility and the fact I didn't need a self propelled mower. I am more than satisfied with all three.
It's so easy to use my kids are queuing up to cut my lawn!!
