The Honda HRX217EXA6 is a 21" battery-powered lawn mower with a Honda motor. The motor is described as delivering the same power and torque as Honda's GCV series gas engines. A forced air system sends fresh air over key components inside the motor to keep them cooler. The high torque helps maintain RPMs in thick or tall grass.
It comes with a 12 AH lithium-ion battery and has two battery bays, so you can add a second optional battery for more run time. Each 12 AH battery runs about 45 minutes, or about .37 acres, depending on mowing conditions. Spring-loaded battery terminals give a tighter connection between the battery and the mower.
The e-Select Drive electric transmission is self-propelled, with speed adjustable from 0 to 4 mph at the touch of a button. The Roto-Stop blade stop system lets you use the self-propel without running the blades. The 4-in-1 Versamow System mulches, bags, discharges and shreds leaves with no tools or attachments, and a Clip Director knob sets how much grass is bagged or mulched. The MicroCut twin blades use four cutting surfaces to make fine clippings.
