Honda HRN216VKA 21 in. Self-Propelled Mower vs Honda HRC216HDA Commercial Mower
The HRN216VKA is the better pick for most homeowners mowing a quarter to half acre. It is lighter at 82 lb, starts easily with the GCV170 Auto Choke, and the Smart Drive lever gives simple variable speed. The HRC216HDA is a commercial machine: the GXV160 engine has a cast iron cylinder sleeve and two-stage air filter, and the hydrostatic shaft drive has no belts to slip or adjust. It weighs 117 lb dry and is built for daily use. Owners of the HRN rate it highly for cut quality and reliability; the HRC earns its keep with landscapers who run it hard.
- Choose the HRN216VKA if you mow your own yard, want a lighter mower that is easy to push and store, and do not need commercial-duty parts.
- Choose the HRC216HDA if you mow several properties or run the mower daily and want the shaft drive, cast iron sleeve engine and sealed-bearing wheels that hold up to that pace.
