I've been using this mower every week for four months now (as of this update Aug 2011) and I am overall happy with it. The picture on this page is wrong as of the date of this review. The mower that you will get has a nice double lever console for the rear wheel drive control. The levers are very well positioned and the drive will engage with either left or right lever pulled.
The mower starts on the first pull every time. The choke system is idiot proof. One thing that stands out about this mower is the air filter. It's nothing special. It is the same filter that is on the Briggs and Stratton motor that it is replacing. The air filter on the Briggs motor would need to be cleaned twice during one lawn mowing. There is a bit more dirt and dust here no doubt. But the same filter on the Honda motor doesn't need to be cleaned until the job is done and even then the filter is half as dirty as one cleaning of the Briggs motor filter. I surmise that it has something to do with the position of the filter that makes it run so much cleaner on the Honda.
I don't have any regrets about buying this mower. It is doing the job and it is not difficult to operate.
