After purchasing a Honda 4 stroke trimmer and being impressed with it, I purchased a Honda Mulch n Catch to replace my aging and rusty Victa Hawk. For an alloy base Mower it is very heavy, both to lift and transport, and to manoeuvre. The blade brake is frustrating to the point of me clamping it on and the lack of any sort of throttle nothing short of ridiculous. The chute is simply too small and clogs easily whether the grass is wet or dry, constantly stopping the Mower to empty the catcher and clear the chute makes an hour job take nearly do...Read more

Bought a Honda lawn mower two weeks ago due to having Honda brushcutter and blower which are excellent. Well I have never been so disappointed with a mower or the shop that sold it (mower place capalaba but stay clear of franschises). Spent $700 on this mower and should of just bought a victa from bunnings as the one I was using to previously was so much better.

After reading reviews about grass clogging issues I went to 'the mower place' in capalaba to get their opinion. My dad has been dealing with them for a while so I thought they were ...Read more

The key with this mower is that it is for cutting lawns not grass. So if you like to let your yard get out of hand then this is not the mower for you.
If you have a lawn and like to look after it then look no further this is the one to own.

Pros:
it's very easy to start and it does such a wonderful job mulching I don't even bother using the catcher.
I run a two blade setup but you can buy sets of four as well [ don't just add two more blades - they come in sets for a reason].
Weight wise it's relatively easy to move around and the whe...Read more

Honda HRU 19M is my first mower. I have been using it for 3 years on 1000 sq meter block. Cut is very good (I have 4 blades and change them about early). I only use mulcher and have never used the bag - The 4 blades shred cut grass well before mulcher's airflow pushes the cuttings down in to grass. I clean my mower after every use and dry it by running engine for few minutes (this gets rid of petrol that's in pipe, as well).
I change oil, air filter and spark annually. Every now and then I put a bit of WD40 on wheel bearings and other moving ...Read more

Hi, I purchased a Honda HRU19K1 (mbau-1031182) last Saturday morning 2/7/2016 from a dealer in QLD.
I had a conversation with the sales person and asked for a mower which was push style with a Honda Motor or a Honda. He pointed me to this mower and I asked him what the lever on the handle was. He told me it was a break. I thought this was a good idea.
Once at home I was keen to try it out. I had a look through the owners manual to check how to start the mower and could not follow the instructions . Chapter 6 only mentioned that when the dr...Read more

Having had the old HRU194 for 20 years in great working order I was excited to upgrade/downgrade to the new hru19k1. Well having spent one summer with it I could not be more disappointed. This would be a fantastic mower to idle on a concrete slab and that's about it. Unless I can find the time to mow every third day (and I might ad I'm mowing couch so growth is not substantial) the chute system is incapable of performing the task that we pay good money for it do. It blocks up repeatedly if the lawn is the slightest bit dewy with major feed issu...Read more

After getting my 300sqm backyard re-turfed, it was time to upgrade my old B&S mower to a new mower. I already had the Honda UMK425 Brushcutter for 3 years and is working perfectly each time, it's never skipped a beat. So it made sense to get a Honda mower and after a lot of research I decided to go for the HRU19M1, and WHAT A MACHINE!!!

I love it! After 3 mows already, I now know why they cost so much. The alloy deck makes it very sturdy and strong, starts first time every time and sounds great. Very simple to use, no need to prime the engin...Read more

If you want to spend more time mowing the lawn then buy a new Honda, because this newer design will clog up before the cuttings go into the catcher whether the grass is excessively dry, large, thick or even slightly moist under growth. The Mower Body discharge area has been drastically reduced compared to the older models which in turn clogs very easily therefore one has to bend down and clear, then refit the catcher before starting again. Mentioned this to my Hervey Bay dealer who of course replied he hadn't had anyone mention this yet, go fig...Read more

Well after researching mowers for months I finally purchased the Honda HRU19K1 mower as well as the Honda HHB25 blower today.

The lawn did actually need a mow so I was able to use my new equipment straight away.

Well all I can say is among amazing amazing.

My old mower was a Victor Lawnkeeper with the V40 engine with only 2 blades. I bought it 7 years ago an only serviced it once. Still starts first time but man it just did not cut my grass well at all.

The extra money I paid today was absolutely worth it.
