      I purchased a ****** (Briggs and Stratton) mower in July 2023. The mower is having mechanical issues and not functioning properly in spring 2024. I believe the problem is still covered under the 2 year warranty. On 4/13/24, I called the support desk, no answer, so I requested a callback. On 4/14/24, I called the support desk again, no answer, so I left a message and requested a callback. On 4/15/24, I called the support desk and finally got an answer, spoke to a rep, left my contact information and began the warranty process. I was told Id be contacted within 2 days. After not hearing anything for a few days, I called the support desk on 4/18/24. Spoke to an individual who told me my inquiry was under review and I could expect contact in a few days. I believe her name was ****. She seemed annoyed, possibly sick, and irritated. I asked the rep to explain the process of warranty service to me because Id never been through the process before. I wanted to know how long my mower may be unusable, because it has now been over a week and there was still not even a decision or communication with me on whether or not it would even be covered. The rep hung up on me without answering my question. I then called back several times and no rep would answer the phone. Very poor customer service and what appears to be purposeful avoidance of warranty service.

      Worst purchase ever. Purchased a brand new Hyper Tough 20in push lawn mower. Opened box & everything looked ok, however it took forever to start. Primed it and gas started leaking from the filter which was really odd. After priming, it took about 10-15 pulls of the cord just for the lower to start. After finally starting, I maybe did 1-2 strips in my yard before it started smoking & the belt possibly came loose because it didn’t start up again after. BRAND NEW, OUT THE BOX and not working already is a big red flag. After calling the manufacturer for a CS resolution, I was given the run around basically as Briggs & Stratton was not going to replace or fix the problem. They gave me a number to the closest mechanic that could operate on the mower which was 2.5hrs away. Not to include it was a 90$ diagnostic fee as well as maintenance charge. I definitely wasn’t going to pay that for something brand new & wasn’t my fault. So I was basically was going to be out of 260$ for a product B&S knew was refurbished and faulty. As a resolution I took it back to where I purchased the item originally & got a refund. Thank goodness. I tell everyone beware of this company and their products as they’re using it as a way to make more money off their faulty products.
