    I have 4 batteries and 4 chargers that do not work. I have done everything that this company has asked me to do including taking these items to 3 different service centers. I have a claim number for said items and ***** is now telling me that the service center did not fill out the claim form correctly the other two centers told me that they do not have time to test them. These batteries cost $180.00 each and chargers costs$125.00. I have been trying to get this resolved since March 2022.

    In January of 2022 we purchased a ***** riding lawn mower which we did not use until March of this year. Once we did start using it the battery life was greatly reduced from what it should be. I tried several times with customer service to get the problem fixed but they referred me to a certified repair shop. At the beginning of May we took the mower in that had only been used for a total of 10 hours and they said that there was a problem with it and in fact they had a back log of other mowers with similar but different problems, all waiting on parts from *****. The mower is still in the shop and I have had to hire contractors to mow my yard since 1.25 acres is too large to regularly mow with a push mower. This is simply unacceptable and they have not made any attempt to make us whole after this loss from using there barely used product. I have contacted their support several times and they have refused to help me until a claim was made which the shop does not typically do until the repair is complete. They refuse to refund their faulty product, and I am far from the first person just in this area to have this problem with them. We have to pay 300 every two weeks for lawn service and this is solely due to the lack of a product we have already paid for. I am including invoices that still do not cover everything, we just have need been invoiced for September work yet.

    We have a remote service associate scheduled to visit the service center on Wednesday to complete the repair. We will update once the repair is complete.

    Better Business Bureau:



    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. 



    I do not wish to own the mower any more after using it for 10 hours and having it sit in the repair shop for over 6 months.  I want a full refund of the product.  I also request reimbursement for the lawncare we had to pay for due to not being able to use the equipment we had already previously purchased.



    Regards,



    *** ******

    ***,

    The repair has been completed and is currently awaiting pick up at *** Mowers. One of my teammates just left you a message to get the receipts from you for your lawncare. Please reach back out to him at your earliest convenience.

    Purchased a power washer *********** on August 31,2021. Initially I was happy with its performance. After three uses the pump developed a big leak from the pump body. It has three years warranty, so I tried to let them fix it. The way to get it repaired is that the customer service gives you a list of repair shops that "may be able to fix it". The customer has to keep on calling those shops hoping that one of them will be able to fix it. That is not the way it should be. Also, getting the unit to those shops will require several hours of driving. and that is cost prohibitive. It would cost me less to buy another one.
    I am under impression that the warranty claim process is designed to let the customer give up.
    I would like to get the unit replaced or my money refunded.

    We have tried to reach out to the customer to offer to ship the unit to the service center for repair. Look forward to hearing back soon.
