Great read. Of course, you'll be buying that lawnmower from your local, independent power machines dealer.</p> <p>Last year, we were in need of a new lawnmower. After some research, we decided on a Honda based on their good reputation. I found that Honda lawnmowers are sold by local, independent dealers and by Home Depot. I also noticed that the models sold at Home Depot were different from the ones sold at independent dealers, but I didn't think much of it.
