NIMTEK 2 PCS 17211-Z8B-901 HRX217 Air Filter for Honda GCV160LA1 GCV190LA Engine Harmony II HRR216(HRR216K9VKAA) HRS216 HRN216 HRZ216 Walk Behind Mower

What It Is

This is a two-pack of replacement air filters (NIMTEK 17211-Z8B-901) designed for Honda GCV160LA1 and GCV190LA engines, commonly used on Harmony II walk-behind mowers like the HRR216, HRS216, HRN216, and HRZ216 series.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model (GCV160LA1 or GCV190LA) and your mower’s model number (e.g., HRR216K9VKAA). This filter does not fit all Honda mowers—it’s specific to the Harmony II series with those engines. Check your current filter’s dimensions: OEM Honda part 17211-Z8B-901 measures roughly 3.5 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches. If your mower uses a different filter (e.g., 17211-ZL8-003), this will not work. Aftermarket fit is exact to OEM specs, but verify the foam pre-filter (if included) matches your housing.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: NIMTEK is a budget aftermarket brand. Some users report slightly thinner foam compared to OEM Honda filters, but it seals properly and filters adequately for residential use.
• Installation: Tool-free—just remove the air filter cover, swap the old filter, and reattach. Takes under 2 minutes.
• Common Gotcha: The two-pack is convenient, but check if your mower uses a single foam-only filter or a paper/foam combo. This is a dual-layer foam filter, so it won’t replace paper-element filters.
• Price vs. OEM: At ~$7 for two, it’s roughly half the cost of a single OEM Honda filter. Acceptable for light-duty mowing, but heavy dust or sand conditions may warrant OEM for better filtration.

Should You Buy It

If you need a cheap, quick replacement for a Honda Harmony II mower with a GCV160/190 engine and mow a typical suburban lawn, this two-pack is a solid value. Skip it if you mow in very dusty conditions, want maximum engine protection, or need a paper-element filter—stick with genuine Honda for those cases.
