Prefer one with a Honda motor.

Anyone in ~30 mile radius from Cypress have one please?

Thanks all

I have a Honda that is approximately ~10 years old or so that I have been thinking about selling, and buying a new one. Let me get it cleaned up and take some pics, and figure out a price for it.

It is a walk behind style, but it is self propelled, so I'm not sure if it's technically a "push mower".

I am in Katy.

I would not set my sights on Honda only for a push mower. I have a Toro with a Briggs engine that is 12 years old and has some fairly heavy use.
It is a 'non serviceable' engine, but I do a yearly oil change, keep air filter clean, and use fuel with 1.5 oz of Seafoam/gallon every time. I have replaced the carb twice in 12 years, but it is a cheap and easy fix.

If you are not making a living out of mowing, I see no need to pay a premium for a push mower that might get 20-30 hours of mow time per year. All of these engines are simple and easy to keep going even with the most basic mechanical skills. It's like the Snap On vs Kobalt or Harbor Freight tools argument. Is the Snap On better? Absolutely, but would I really be pushing the limits of the cheaper tools?

I abuse the crap out of my 14 year old Honda and have never changed the carb

Maybe it's a little better, but a carb is cheap. Also I push mow about an acre twice a month. I would be surprised if other non commercial users are using their push mower that much. I was not saying Honda wasn't good, just that it was probably not worth the premium cost to most people.

OP, not sure if you're still looking, but I finally listed mine for sale here.
