When it comes to reliable garden tools and power equipment, Honda is one of the most respected names. Known globally for engineering excellence, Honda has spent decades perfecting lawnmowers, brushcutters, generators, tillers, and outdoor machinery designed to make work easier and more efficient.

The History of Honda Power Equipment

The story of Honda Power Equipment begins in 1953, when the company introduced its first general-purpose engine. This breakthrough was more than just a motor—it was the foundation of a product range that would transform how people farmed, landscaped, and maintained their gardens.

By the 1960s, Honda had launched its first lawnmowers, which quickly earned a reputation for durability and ease of use. Unlike many competitors, Honda focused on 4-stroke engine technology, which was cleaner, quieter, and more efficient than the traditional 2-stroke engines widely used at the time.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Honda expanded into generators, water pumps, and tillers, becoming a trusted brand not just for gardeners but also for construction professionals, emergency services, and event organisers who relied on portable power solutions.

By the 1990s, Honda had become a world leader in outdoor machinery, developing low-emission engines years before environmental regulations made them a requirement. Their dedication to reducing noise and emissions while improving fuel efficiency set new industry standards.

In more recent decades, Honda has continued to innovate with technology such as:

• Robotic lawn mowers for effortless garden care with their Miimo range.

• Super-quiet inverter generators, perfect for both home backup and outdoor leisure.

• Eco-friendly engines that balance power with sustainability.

Today, Honda Power Equipment is sold in over 150 countries, trusted by homeowners, gardeners, landscapers, and professionals alike.

Honda offers a comprehensive range of garden machinery, designed for everything from small home gardens to professional groundskeeping. Key product categories include:

• Lawn Mowers - Reliable walk-behind mowers, perfect for small to medium gardens.

• Ride-on Mowers - Powerful lawn tractors built for larger lawns and estates.

• Tillers - Efficient machines for preparing soil in gardens and allotments.

• Honda Miimo Robotic Mowers – Innovative autonomous mowers that keep your lawn perfectly maintained with zero effort.

Together, these machines highlight Honda’s commitment to performance, durability, and cutting-edge technology in every aspect of garden care.
