£100 in the two stores ive tried so still at normal price, got them to check on the computer too but no luck. they have reduced the 118cc to £100 though so this model may be reduced soon perhaps?

Honda Izy mowers are indeed awesome but they sadly rust especially when they are 'rest..ing'. Poor quality steel decks pressed in France but fitted with an excellent engine.
Love Honda stuff but the Izy is a rust bucket and a replacement deck is over £100. I replaced it with an aluminium deck Toro and bought the Wilko as it was £50. Brilliant little mower, no 'rest'!

My garden is about 4 metres wide but 16 metres long - so 64m2 and it does it fine, tbh the missus does it and never complains, I am sure a bigger one would do it faster but it appears she is not fussed.
Anyone that gets one at this price will be happy, don't hold back, even if your not happy you could sell this easily and get your money back should it not be up to the task

The Honda Izzy deck is made of pressed mild steel. Most of the underside does not have a plastic cover and so the paint is soon removed by debris being flung outwards by the blade. If you clean and recoat the underside frequently you can delay the onset of rust but if you don’t, the deck can rust through after only a few years.
It would be relatively inexpensive for Honda to fit a full plastic under shield but they don’t. They spend vast sums on advertising in an attempt to enhance their reputation when a simple piece of plastic would prevent that reputation from being damaged.

I've been scouring the Internet for a petrol mower deal, I'm presuming the warranty is only a year but it's still worth it....... Providing I can find one!

pat123 was correct Honda izy mowers may give the impression of being ' rustproof ' but my mates izy rusted through the metal deck last year. It only takes a bit of debris under the deck to start the process.

Got one last time too.
Brilliant little mower, starts first time unlike one or two of my Briggs and Stratton engined machines and, with a plastic body, no rust holes like my Honda Izzy. For £50 this has been one of my better buys

What did you spawn?
Just a tiny seed of disappointment
Ooh Hankerchief Lawn
You know why I'm forlorn?
You're so frayed and disjointed
What have we sowed?
It begs to be mowed
That's petrol money I'm owed

Agreed ! I got this at £50 last time and it's still going strong, couple of pumps on the prima and off she goes ! It's had some stick too ! Must be 3 years old now. Bargain and uses hardly any fuel (1 canister lasted 2 seasons)

Not bad for a lawn as big as a handkerchief

98cc, should be cheap to insure, probably cheap tax as well or exempt.

Worth a punt to have a go at building one of these. :smiley:
Not a bad mower, mine lasted 10 months before dying, bit of a hassle getting a refund as they wanted to do an exchange... got a refund in the end and bought one elsewhere with a Briggs and Stratton engine. Was fine while it lasted! I paid £99 for it.
