Honda HRR216VKA

I usually do more reading than posting here, but wanted to talk about my new Honda HRR216VKA I purchased today. I had been using a John Deere JS46, but just grew tired of the 100+ lbs and having to stop every 10 minutes to clean out the deck.
I don't know what it was about the JD, but it must be a deck design issue that causes it to clog up so much. I mow high, 3-4", and no matter if I side discharged or mulched, it would pack up tight. Our home is a new construction in a new subdivision, the lots all drain very nicely, so wet grass isn't the issue.
Anyhow, I finally decided to bite the bullet today and buy the Honda. Got it home this afternoon, got it all set up, and went for a trial run to make sure I had my deck set where I wanted it. All I can say is WOW! The guy at The Home Depot told me if I didn't love the Honda to come tell him why because he wanted to know. Well, that won't be happening. After mowing all my yard this evening, I had my son tilt the mower back so I could look under it, and there was nothing. Literally nothing caked underneath. All there was was grass stain which is to be expected.
I mulched the entire yard with the exception of a couple of rounds of rear discharging (which did well too), and it did a fine job. Makes me wonder why I didn't buy a Honda 20 years ago rather than mess around with the multitudes of pushers I've owned.
I don't work for Honda, just a very satisfied customer right out of the gate, and wanted to share my initial experience with my first Honda mower.
