Our verdict
The default "I want a Honda but the HRX is too much" choice. Same engine pedigree, simpler deck, much better value used. If stripes do not matter to you, this is the smarter buy.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Honda OHC engine — reliable and easy to start
- Self-propelled with single-lever drive
- Mulch plug included as standard
- Lighter than the HRX flagship
Cons
- No rear roller — no stripes
- 50L box smaller than rivals
- Drive cable can stretch with age

Buying second-hand
£300–380 is the fair zone for a clean used HRG 466. Test the self-propel on an incline — slipping drive belt is the most common fault. Pull start should fire on the first or second pull when warm. Check oil colour through the dipstick — golden good, black means no service history.
