Honda 1211 £2,699 Lawn rider, 6.4kw/337 cc engine cutting width 71cm LxWxH 186cm x 75cm x 110cm

Very compact, collect or mulch only. Mulching kit is optional extra. Mowed well, but contact breaker cut in repeatedly when the seat was in a forward position with a small driver. The parking brake was awkward to engage/release, and the gear lever crept out of position. Seven cutting heights, from 30-80mm. Five-year warranty.
