Still Runs Like a Champ Almost 10 Years Later!

By Kathleen B.

Strasburg, Virginia

Review Posted 04/30/2022

I bought this mower back in very early 2013 and have loved it ever since. It has run excellent since the day I bought the thing. As long as you keep up with the maintenance, things will treat you well. The only cons to this are the plastic parts because they eventually break and now that it is older, those parts are getting harder to find. That is my only complaint. Otherwise, she runs like a dream still!

I've Had Better OLDER Mowers Do Better

By Fred S.

Review Posted 08/04/2017

I bought this 3 rears ago. Was great the 1st summer.. Keep in mind, I only mow in summer and spring in Oregon. 2nd season it developed a problem of its own.. Does not vacuum up all the clippings.. does not matter how tall the grass is.. I can cut it 1 longer or 6 inches. The bag gets 1/4 the way full and as I mow it just stalls and leaves a trail... took to repair center they said it was side door latch not locked. That did nothing to fix. They took it in and called next day and said.. it is what it is... so therefore its. Piece of junk in my book. I've never worked so hard keeping this clean and maintained and to want to junk it for the price I paid. I won't sleep right selling my problem to someone else. DON'T BUY HUSQVARNA MOWERS.

Husqvarna Doesn't Honor Warranties

By Sterling A.

Ventura, California

Review Posted 05/28/2015

Initially this lawn mower worked GREAT right out of the box. I was very happy with it. After about 4 weeks it started acting strange, with the engine randomly dying and then having trouble starting. I contacted Husqvarna and was told to take it to a repair center. Now is where I began my education on the world of lawn mower warranties.

The Husqvarna repair center determined that the problem was with the engine, and that they wouldn't touch it because Husqvarna won't warranty work done on the engine because it's made by Honda. Whaaaaat? This is the reason why your lawn mower comes with two warranty packages, one from Husqvarna and one from Honda. The problem begins here... the Husqvarna repair center says Honda is responsible because it's an engine problem. Honda says it's not the engine, it's the transmission. Aaaand now the infinite loop begins. Neither company wants to be responsible for paying for the repair. I purchased the mower on June 1st, the problems began around July 5th. It is now August 14th and the mower hasn't operated properly for almost 6 weeks.. and I can't get it taken care of. I even asked Husqvarna to simply swap the mower for another one and they flatly refused, stating that they "don't do that". Then I asked if they would authorize me taking it to a dealer and having THEM swap it, again I was told "no". The kicker is that if I had just purchased an actual HONDA mower, I wouldn't have to deal with this garbage of two different warranties and two different companies.

I am extremely disappointed in Husqvarna's warranty and customer service, which makes me sad because I can never again recommend their products for the simple fact that they do not stand by their warranties. I wanted everyone to know what they're getting into before they buy a Husqvarna product that uses another company's parts.

Manufacturer Response

If you mower is having issues with running and starting they would certainly be engine related and should be handled through Honda's warranty on the engine.

Should you need assistance from us, please call our customer service at 1-800-487-5951.

Mid Size Yard Newbie

By Truc N.

Review Posted 11/10/2014

I come from a zero lot yard and had a small push lawnmower. After reading reviews from "Mowersdirect" site, I decided to get this lawn mower. I noticed that it was one of the heavier ones, but he rest of the functionality and specs were what I was looking for. Customer service was great. I received it in no time at all. I opened up the box and started to assembly it. No issues there. I started up the engine and started to mow.

The weight of the lawn mower was a lot heavier than I imagined. It works well, and mows well. But in order to turn, you must put a bit more effort in the turn due to the weight of the mower than I would like. 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive self propelled, doesn't really matter that much. I've only used it once, but maybe I'll get use to the weight of it. This is my only "complaint".

To those thinking about buying this machine, go ahead and do it. Two complete seasons and never a problem. I'm 76 and my wife is 75 and we argue over who's turn to mow. So easy on our hilly lawn.

49 yr old in upstate NY who pushes his mower to get a bit of walking in, but 2 wheel drive mowers were getting a bit hard to push on my steep hill. The AWD system has made the job a lot easier.

Great Mower

By Todd Staack

Davenport, Iowa

Purchased 08/02/2014 |

Review Posted 09/13/2014

I've been mowing a long hillside with Craftsman mowers for 25 years. It got to a point where my knees and ankles could not do it anymore. I decided to try the Husqvarna versus paying someone to do it for me. WOW, what a difference. This is a great mower. Not only is it easy to operate, it does a fantastic job of mulching, even with long grass.

The mowers I've been using would not mulch, so I've been bagging the whole time. It is literally the easiest starting gas appliance I have ever used and I've been working construction for 35 years.

Cons: If you forget and pull all the way on the self-propelled handle, its kind of hard to keep up with it.

Really good mower

By Boss Hendricks

Little Rock, Arkansas

Purchased 08/21/2014 |

Review Posted 09/12/2014

The drive mechanism works great and the Honda engine lives up to its reputation. It starts first time each time I use it. I really like the 3-in-1 feature. The weight makes it a little hard to maneuver in tight places, but when I release the drive lever and follow the instructions to push it forward slightly before pulling it back, it makes it easier to handle. I like the free shipping and no sales tax
