Only my personal feelings:. 'Mulching' is detrimental to a lawn as it extracts Nitrogen from its surroundings in order to rot down. So you need more fertiliser, also if you leave the grass a bit long and mow a wet lawn, a mess is created. At least that was my experience in Europe, things may work differently here.

Honda are now over priced , I stopped buying them around 2008.

I don't have a lawn here but when I lived in the UK I did and I used a Mulching type Mower most of the time .
I was always lead to believe that Mulching actually added nitrogen to the soil ( not detracting for it )  along with adding other elements that actually helps the health of your lawn .
Have a read of this article in Mow with Us on Mulshing and it could alleviate some of your Mulching fears  :)

Yes, plenty of websites like that one. I don't know of any professionals that do it, possibly because if the grass gets too long it becomes problematic to mow it and leave it in place. Mulching with grass (not necessarily lawn clippings) definitely absorbs Nitrogen from the soil in order to decompose, otherwise it won't decompose nicely, it stinks.  That's why so many strawberries and raspberries go yellow when mulched with grass. I believe most of my customers were disappointed with their mulching mowers, and a few years after their initial appearance in Switzerland very few were being sold.
Most of the year in Thailand, probably no problem, but in the rainy season and coming back after two weeks holiday you might have some.
Anyway, I let the cows graze on my green bit when it gets long enough which shows how much I know (about how much effort a nice lawn costs).

I picked up the new Troybuilt 190cc mower today as well as a Honda 435T brush cutter from Ruangsangthai. Had to give them a try when I got them home. The Troybuilt is an outstanding machine with variable self propelled speed and it cut through tall wild grass without slowing a bit!  The electric start makes the job simple. The brush trimmer is great as that cuts the tall weeds effortlessly as well as trimming the short grass at low speed with no problems at all. I highly recommend both these machines!

Deputy Dave: Thank you for the kind words and your valued support of my family owned hardware store. I am so glad you were introduced Thursday to a native English speaking home building contractor who visits home building sites as a true hands on house builder in Isaan. Friday morning the Buriram women who speak some English and are considering the mow blow and go service made the comment that "Size Matters" for some jobs including how long to finish mowing and mulching a lawn in Isaan. The length of the grass was of concern to these young women. I assured them that my repair service department had the right tools at hand to repair any damage to the brush cutters or lawn mowers sold to customers of Ruangsangthai in the warranty period and after the warranty period.  Bosch is a fine German Power Tool company which now manufactures electric lawn mowers to Asian sizes in the PRC.  The Troy Bilt electric start lawn mower is manufactured in the MTD factory in Tupelo, Mississippi.

This morning Mr. Thai Bob and Miss Earth tested and loaded a Troy Bilt electric start variable speed self propelled lawn mower into the pick up truck of Mr. California Bob's niece. That vote of confidence in Troy Bilt was backed up by a cash payment for the lawn mower by Mr California Bob's wife today. My store staff took as much time as necessary to explain the starting, operation and cleaning of the Troy Bilt lawn Mower to both women. This is the very first petrol lawn mower either woman had ever used to cut a lawn or village grass. One can only imagine the communication between Mr. California Bob and the importer of Troy Bilt with regards to warranty service and spare parts for this popular self walking lawn mower.

Elvis Presley has returned to Buriram, Thailand. Yes the Troy Bilt TB280 ES electric start mulching petrol lawn mower assembled in Tupelo, Mississippi arrived in the container today from Troy Bilt. Miss Gift and Miss Jaew are dusting off the Elvis Presley painting to display with these self propelled mowers.
