Honda (UK) say they are looking forward to a summer of celebration to mark forty years of the brand making lawnmowers with appearances at a trio of RHS Flower Shows and BBC Countryfile Live.
Visitors to the Honda stand will be able to get up close with a bit of history in the form of its very first lawnmower, the HR21, introduced in August 1978 - going on to sell 330,000 units globally in its first seven years on the market. The HR21 featured world-first technologies including Blade Brake Clutch, since renamed Rotostop®, allowing the blades to stop turning with the engine still running.
Bringing matters up-to-date, also on display at this summer’s shows will be Honda's all-new premium robotic lawnmower, Miimo 3000, which benefits from a maximum cutting area up to 4,000 square metres and is controllable through a smartphone app.
The company will also display its full range of lawnmowers and cordless and petrol handheld products, with expert advice on hand throughout for visitors wanting to know more.
Steve Morris, Head of Power Products for Honda (UK) said, “We always look forward to the show season and welcoming customers old and new as they browse the showground, and we’re very pleased to continue our support of the RHS shows and the fantastic BBC Countryfile Live. This year we’re proud to mark forty years of Honda lawnmowers with a little bit of history in the form of where it all began with the HR21, which nicely mirrors where we are today with robotic models and a line-up packed with innovation and clever thinking.”
