      I purchase a Craftsman Power Washer from Lowes on 04/08/23. I used the machine 3 times until 12/2023 and the pressure stopped working.I contacted ***** who referred me to the manufactures warranty ***** They referred me to a local service center who refused to work on the machine because they don't pay. I called warranty ***** back and referred to another local service center who did take the machine. This was in December of 2023. It's now March of 2024 and I had to call 3x to get a response which they are telling me, the warranty **** has denied my claim because the pump overheated and this is my fault. I contacted the warranty **** who confirmed the same. I did not misuse the machine, I was simply power washing a garage floor as per the instruction manual and the machine lost pressure and blew out the relief valve. This is what a warranty is for. The warranty period is 24 months and this occurred within 7 months after 3 uses by a homeowner. I additionally asked to speak with the representatives supervisor which she was hesitant to do, saying they will just say the same thing she did. She finally placed me on hold to transfer me, a survey recording played, where I participated with my unhappiness with their service and then they hung up on me. I own many small engine machines, all which are taken care of and serviced regularly. I owned a power washer before this one, which I had for at least 10 years before it broke. I take care of my equipment and follow all manufacturers recommendations. Specifically in power washers after every use pump saver is run through the machine. This machine did not break because of something I did and just like the first service center they sent me to said, "They do not pay their warranty claims".

      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.
