husqvarna pole saw

i have a massive garden with a load of bushes and trees. so, for sometime i was researching which long pole battery saw to buy. i have stihl and these have been great. i decided to try husqvarna (another top brand). so it arrived on thursday where i charged up for friday morning. friday morning i cut back some large holy and 10 to 15 min of use i noticed that the chain shield with the chain tightener had broke of manage to find the parts after looking. basically the little wheel that tightens the saw had completely snapped of (on friday). i was asked to take to my nearest husquvarna dealer for repair, its been with them 6 days so far (took in Saturday). i mean this is a new piece of kit that should have not broken 15 min in working with it and really the repair should not take 6 days (or more, as am still waiting to hear back from the husqvarna dealer ) to tell me that the repair is complete.
UPDATE - the husqvarna dealer is now saying the turn around to repair is 3 to 4 week. OMG never going to get garden done. dont think i'll be buying this brand again

If I could leave zero stars I would

If I could leave zero stars I would. Our robot mower broke down within 3 months of purchase, we had to take to a repairer - who, after having the mower on and off for over a year admitted it was irreparable. We are still waiting for a refund. We are 4500GBP out of pocket and Husqvarna customer services are appalling.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS check Trustpilot to weed out companies that don't care about their customers.

Ordered a strimmer after numerous Bosch offerings that last less than a year. Spent considerably more and went to Husqvarna.

Slavishly followed the set-up instructions and got the strimmer going for 10 minutes. Then cut out and despite 2 days of trying cannot get this thing going. So 4 times the Bosch price for 10 minutes usage.

Contacted the seller Sam Turner and Sons (a Silver distributor/dealer) for a refund. They refused but offered to pick it up and check it over. Not in during the day so they were to inform courier to check behind the unlocked side-gate. Courier has been 3 times (allegedly - they lie more than estate agents) but has failed to leave a note. Another week on and no strimmer.

Contacting VISA for a full refund as this is no different to a scam.

Very Disappointed

After spending thousands on new garden equipment 2.5 years one of my battery's went faulty this year. I know you only get 2 years warranty on batts you would expect it to last longer than that for something that cost over £100. Contacted Husqvarna to be told tuff you will have to buy a new one, not even a good will gesture of a discount on a new one. I am only a domestic customer not a commensal user.

Possible unwanted return or poor manufacturing/packaging

Ordered an Aspire LC34-P4A mower which arrived with multiple scuffs, manual loosely chucked in the box and not placed inside the cardboard box it should have been in. Product seems to be a return that has then been sold on at full price. Customer services offered 20% off another purchase but no resolution to my current issue.

Why would I want to buy another product when the first one is wrong before I’ve even used it?

Husqvarna / McCulloch strimmers

My garden strimmer needed a new spool holding part - probably the most likely part on the tool to suffer wear and tear or damage through use. Not only is it the only part not available but their customer service left me wondering if they had any customer care or reading skills.
Despite asking if there were others that supply something which fit they repeatedly just sent me their lacking parts diagram.
I took a chance and purchased a “P25 universal” similar looking one and saved myself £90 on buying a new strimmer as it fitted a dream.

Wish I had looked at TrustPilot before buying my Husqvarna Automower 405x

The power components that are required to be water resistant and outside are not. I've had to replace the power cable and the AC/DC adapter on a mower that is less than 2 years old.

Wish I had looked at TrustPilot before I bought my Husqvarna automower. They don't even bother to respond to complaints. Their customer service is poor and that's being kind. I will not buy another product from this company.

Disappointment

I’m writing you to inform about my experience with a Husqvarna leaf blower and after sales customer service.
First fault with a leaf blower happened in the end of August, beginning of September 2023 and I took it for repairs at Ernest Doe Power in Esher, Surrey. After a month or even a bit longer, I received machine back from them. In the end of November I experienced faults again and took my leaf blower back for repairs at Ernest Doe Power in Esher, Surrey. They sent machine to another branch somewhere in Sussex.
December, January, February, March- these are four months while I have been ignored, phone calls are dismissed, messages are ignored, and I can’t use my garden machinery. There are literally no adequate updates except those times when they reply, they always are still waiting for parts.
It absolutely ridiculous. It’s so sad, that I didn’t read reviews earlier.
Husqvarna dealers and after sales companies are just ridiculous.

Exceptionally disappointed

We bought a 315X robot mower in 2020 and it had a major software failure in 2023, rendering the unit unserviceable.
Husqvarna Customer Support has been completely disinterested in helping and simply passed the problem back to the dealer, who has been equally unhelpful.
The mower cost £2,271 and we only had just over 3 summers' use.

I bought Husqvarna chainsaw 135 mark 2…

I bought Husqvarna chainsaw 135 mark 2 from husqvarna romania, at same time i bought husqvarna oil for petrol mixing to be original and don't lose warranty, after 1 year won't to start, i returned to dealer becouse was in warranty period, after 1 week said, engine pistone is damaged becouse is used non complain oil in petrol, without to know i used husqvarna oil, dealer said husqvarna oil is non complain oil(ridiculous).
I bought expensive oil for mixing in petrol non complain oil, and dealer ask me to pay bill to be repaired chainsaw. Won't to be used warranty, and warranty is till June 2024.
Husqvarna products is poor quality made in china, but high price and poor service special Husqvarna Romania 🇷🇴
Husqvarna appreciate self they products and services.
I disappointed, better decision was to buy something cheap and 100% work longest, on they box is write 300 year of innovation.
Sorry but is not enough, need more 300 years, or maybe some dealer broker your image, Romania dealer is MASTEL SERV SRL. I writed lot off complain but dealer not care.
Pay for expensive product with warranty, used original oil and pay bill from my pocket is not fair and serious from Husqvarna.
Not recommend to anyone buy husqvarna.

I Purchased a Husqvarna Back Pack blower

I Purchased, a Husqvarna backpack blower. It worked one time. I brought it to a Husqvarna service center and they said it had a faulty ignition coil. The part has been back ordered for nine months. You cannot talk to a live person at Husqvarna. So I have this expensive piece of garbage sitting in my garage collecting dust. I used to be a big fan, this company has gone down the tubes.

450x robot mower

450x robot mower
£4000 new
3 mains boards @£350
2 drive motors @£160
front wheel star washers that will come into contact with damp rust and wheels fall off
Supply unit had known fault and were still shipped out and replacement never arrived.
docking station board failed, £130 didn't work still awaiting replacement. my local dealer is helpful as he can be but agrees Husqvarna support/parts is appaling/non existant. Their arrogance is only matched by their useless/expensive product. They will not deal with you direct but divert you to their long suffering dealers. I google translated much of the above and sent to head office in sweden who didn't even acknowledge my email. top tip: buy a cheaper make every two years and you will still be better off.

Purchased a Gardena auto mower which was installed in may 23. First problem was won’t connect to blue tooth, software glitch ! Case of technology trying to run before it can walk. Got the blue light indicating a fault on the docking station. After investing in the kit to test the loop wire I traced the fault back to the ac/dc adapter. Failed after 5 months ref Husqvarna Fw7312/UK or 584 86 26-02G
Tried contacting them and they could barely understand English. Disappointing to say the least.

Husqvarna Robot Mower Not fit for purpose

Not fit for purpose. My Husqvarna Robot Mower Model 305 owned for just over 2 years and used on my 10m by 10m lawn (100 sq.m), quite a small flat lawn, no slopes, in the back garden, which this mower should easily manage as advertised for lawns up to 600 sq.m. However I would not buy one of these again as it is not fit for purpose for my lawn. First year it worked and cut the whole lawn but now it does not have sufficient battery capacity and leaves areas on the lawn not cut, typically in squares/triangles where it has missed on about 15% of the lawn. Send it out again and it does not remember where it cut last time so areas are still missed. Contacted the supplier who installed it and they informed me the battery had a warranty of 2 years. It is a few months over this so not covered, cost of new battery over £100 on a machine costing £1145. So to use this robot I would need to buy a new battery every 2 years, so not fit for purpose.

Another problem is that it cuts in a straight line, fair enough, and uses random direction of cuts but leaves a trail of grass cuttings in a ridge on the right of the robot. So it leaves ridge lines of cuttings all over the grass in a criss cross pattern. It cuts the grass OK but leaves these lines which does not look very good. To remove them I need to go over with a broom to sweep them away so the lawn looks presentable. Not what I expected and annoying.

This was installed by the approved supplier, set up and boundary wires put in, and serviced as well by them a year later, cost £120. Stored away in winter in our house to protect it and had a mower shed built to protect it and the charging station during the summer months of use. I disconnected the charging station and brought that indoors as well over winter. The control panel works fine after a period of learning how to make time, cut frequency and day use changes and needs a security password each time. It did take some time to learn on this.

So this product should not be on the market as effectively the battery is not up to the job. I have a hybrid car and the batteries on that are still going after 12 years whereas the Husqvarna mower battery lasts 2 years!

Great service

Contacted their customer service to track small spare parts for my turbo lite mower yesterday. They posted them immediately and they arrived today, no charge. Couldn't ask for better service.

Hopeless helpline

I tried to get some info on ride-on-mowers from the online chat - what a waste of time - they don't know any details about what they're selling, they just tell you to ask your local dealer for any information!
Whats the point of a technical helpline if they don't have any technical knowledge?
I've got lots of Husqvarna equipment but I'll be looking elsewhere going forward.

£4000 is the cost of a small used car.

£4000 is the cost of a small used car.
My 450x in the first year charge unit failed and I had to get a friend to make one
The front wheels are held on with star washers that rust away and cause the shopping trolley style front wheels to fall off
It has had two drive motors £380
It has had three mother boards £1200 which take ages to arrive in the middle of the mowing season
It is an aaa full machine and I have managed to talk three friends into buying another make
Shocking quality and after care
Avoid at all (huge) costs
