Definitely a Honda. Some people are going to say "or Toro", which would not be bad, but they seem to have problems with their engines sometimes. Definitely a Honda HRX217. I would get the HRX217HYA, because you have the Roto-Stop (have engine on without the blades on). I love that feature. Mulching is amazing, bagging is awesome, definitely an A+ mower. If you don't want to spend the money I would get the HRX217VKA. It is $100 cheaper and the only difference is it has the Smart Drive (and is goes 0.4mph slower, but you wouldn't be able to notice that). That is one thing about the Hondas....their self-propell works great, and goes up to a pretty fast walk!! Also, on both of these the deck is made out of NeXite, which is what car bumpers are made out of. It is SUPER durable and has a lifetime warranty. Also grass tends not to stick to it. It also has the Clip Director, which is like a mulch plug that you can "activate" or "take off" by just moving a lever. No need to carry around a plug!! It also has the GCV190 engine, which is super powerful.
