A leading consumer reporting magazine just released (May 2016) their rankings for lawn mowers...
#1 Honda HRX217VLA
#2 Honda HRX217VYA
#3 Honda HRX2175VKA
#4 Honda HRX217VKA
#5 Honda HRR216VLA
The Honda HRR216VKA also retained its designation as a "Best Buy."
Note: #3 and #4 are essentially the same exact mower. #3 is the most current version, while #4 (full name: HRX2174VKA) has been discontinued.
