    Husky 450 rancher used only premixed gas/oil. Less than 12 hours use has scarred up piston and other probs. People tell me I’m a goner because husky doesn’t live up to their warranties (my last husky saw worked ok but died early also and I had no receipt). Forget husky.

    Bought a trimmer directly from Husqvarna. Item was delivered broken! 4 Been fighting with them ever since. They refuse to replace it. Been repaired 2x already by authorized repair center. Still broken! Unit has less than 1 hour total use. Worst company in the world!

      I purchased a new Husqvarna Z254F Special Edition at Rural King in Spring Hill, Florida on 6/27/2025 for $3,399 + tax. This mower is the worst mower I have ever owned. My yard has 3/4 of an acre of lawn that I mow. I purposely purchased a wide 54” deck mower to cut the amount of time I have to spend mowing. It now takes me over twice as long. I have to mow with a 50% overlap and go over the yard at least twice.

      My Murray 30” riding mower I used to have cut better and did not require the overlap nor multiple passes to make the yard look good. I will get rid of this mower at the end of this mowing season on Facebook marketplace place. I will have to sell it at a loss because I don’t want to feel like I ripped anyone off. (Like I was when I purchased this Husqvarna mower.) The picture below is after two passes with a 50% overlap.

      When my Echo weedeater finally died after 10 years of faithful service I went to Home Depot where I got it from and they were sold out and didn’t know when they were expecting more. They had another brand of gas tools which I have not heard goods things about so I went to Lowe's. They recommended the Husqvarna brand to me so I bought one. The first time I started it I pumped the ball up and choked it and it died on me, so I did the same thing again and managed to keep it running and it ran fine. I had to pump it up and choke it twice every time I used it, which was about 3-4 times. I kept thinking it maybe just had to get broken in. I even changed the fuel out even though all my other gas lawn tools were starting and running great. Finally, after using it just 5 times it wouldn’t stay running when I squeezed the throttle. I took the plug out and cleaned it even though it didn’t need it.

      After just SEVEN weeks I took it to Lowe’s and they said they couldn’t do anything after 30 days and to call reach out to Husqvarna, which you can only do by chat, not a direct phone line. They gave me the name and # of the only local authorized repair shop near me. When they told me they couldn’t look at it for 3-4 weeks I called Husqvarna back and they gave me the names of other repair shops that were 45-60 minutes away. I called the closest one and they told me 2-3 weeks. That’s when I decided that I was not investing another 3-4 hours of drive time into it. When I Chatted that back to “customer service” they informed me that there was nothing else they could (would) do. Two days later, while I’m eating lunch with my wife, someone from “customer service” calls me, on the phone. He continues to review everything about my experience and repeats the “chat” conversation in detail.

      I’m thinking, maybe they have decided to step up and do the right thing, which obviously was to replace the unit. NOPE, I was way off. He just confirmed that they weren’t going to do anything else for me. $200 down the drain! I stopped by Home Depot on the way home and they had just gotten in a shipment of ECHO weed eaters. Started up the first time and has since I bought it, and stays running. Husqvarna should be ashamed of themselves, but apparently, based on all their reviews, what I experienced was “quality and business” as usual for them. How do they stay in business?

      Called Husqvarna 5 times at 855 566 9776 regarding power washer issue and confirmed my phone number. I NEVER received a call back! I bought Husqvarna because it's supposed to be such a great company with excellent products.... Well that's proven exactly the opposite in my opinion.

      Bought a new 46in Husqvarna yesterday from dealer. First headlights didn't work then when I was mowing the back wheel was making noise. When I looked it was ready to fall off. I noticed some idiot didn't install the clip to hold wheel on. Called dealer. He said oh no there's one on the floor missing the rear wheel clip. Also he gave me the parts to fix it == if the wheel fell off while I was mowing it could have killed me. Major law suit = what the hell is wrong with you people not checking this junk!!!! Don't buy these neglected junk mowers if you want to live!!!!

      I am about as disgusted as could EVER BE, with Husqvarna. I purchased a yard blower last year, after doing extensive research on the highest consumer rated blowers. This after 3 failed Ryobi Jet Fan blowers, and finally getting my purchase price returned in which I would NEVER buy another Ryobi product AGAIN, EVER.

      After just a year, and even purchasing that recommended fuel which is 8X the price of regular gasoline, this piece of crap died. I called Husqvarna to get warranty consideration, as I did register the product and even bought and always used that extremely expensive fuel they recommend to get the extended warranty. However the "Customer Service" female I spoke to said I was not the registered owner of the product I was giving the serial number to. HOW CONVENIENT to avert any responsibility therein!!!!

      The rating that Husqvarna "Customer Service" is BAD....is an understatement. There is no way to actually speak to a 'real person', only through 'chat' online....ridiculous! Fortunately, out of sheer desperation I contacted the retailer, Tractor Supply Company to see if they could do anything, and to my SHOCK, the manager stated that if I brought the defective one in he would exchange it for a new one! He did not have to do this, and is as rare as a blue moon these days in a businessman. Why I have been and always will be a TSC loyal customer.

      I purchased a recon chainsaw from Northern Tools. The item was shipped directly from Husqvarna. The bottom of the box was not secured and there were parts missing. Was told to contact them directly, which I did, and they wanted me to identify the missing part, and sent a manual that has the item pulled apart with maybe a hundred pieces. How am I supposed to figure out what's missing.??? They told me to go to a center that is around 50 miles away from me. I sent pictures of what I received. The issue is the manual in the box shows the item put together so I cannot tell which pieces are missing

      My wife bought me a Husky Chainsaw 440 18 inch from Ave Hardware. When I put gas in, it just pours out the other side. I've never even started it. I've yet to even put bar oil in it because I didn't get past putting gas in. Ace refused to exchange it for a working one. Said I had to go through Husqvarna. Who said I had to take it to a repair shop even though its never even been started. Who knows how long that will take or if it even gets fix. I just got screwed out of $400.

      I've had 2 Husqvarna weedeaters. I bought one from Lowe's. After about a year or so, one of the metal clips on the string head came off. Which made it very unbalanced and vibrated like crazy. I took it back to Lowes for repair. And even though it was just the string head, they just went ahead and gave me a brand new weedeater. Probably because of how hard it is to deal with Husqvarna. After about a year, or one season of weedeating, it started sounding terrible. After 2 years, the throttle cable broke. I repaired it myself. It worked again for a bit, but now it something else is going on. Still trying to figure out what it is. The thing has been junk from the start. It is supposedly 28cc but bogs down easy with just heavy string.

      I have a 48inch cut riding mower also. It has also been nothing but problems. I cant really even keep track of all the issues I've had with it. The motor has been fine. I've had the mower for about 8 years. It was sent to repairs twice I believe during the Warranty stage. Once was the blade engage switch. The other I don't remember. I've also had the safety feature that shuts off the mower if you get off of the seat fail. I had someone I knew fix it. It was something under the seat. The weld on the back end broke. Where the drive belt goes around the back pully. That whole thing the pully is attached too in the back was just hanging down. Which kept causing the drive belt to come off. I had someone weld it back together and it has been ok so far since.

      One of the pullies on the deck was wobbly. I took it off to find the the pully was fine, but the bolt that bolts it down was messed up, and so was where it threads into. There is no fixing it as the threads are messed up. I took a bolt with a nut and did it that way and it is working. This thing has been one headache after another. I am done with Husqvarna, and I'll never buy anything from Ace Hardware. Any store that refuses to return and exchange faulty items should be out of business.

      Purchase a weed eater from a local dealer. Also purchased a zero turn from the same dealer. The weed eater was difficult to start from day one but didn’t think much of it. The lower shaft was constantly turning to the point where I would have the engine side ways in order to edge. Finally it wouldn’t start at all so off to the dealer I purchased it from. After almost 3 weeks I go in to check on it and I’m told that the engine is bad and it’s also out of warranty (purchased in mid 2022) Well with all this being said, my mower is showing 21 hours of run time and usually only use the weed eater every second time I mow. So it’s out of warranty but only, at the very most, having 21 hours on the machine. It’s not the money, but the point. Is it me, or would you expect to get more than 21 hours of use. Don’t recommend the brand or the dealer.

      Husqvarna offers high-quality design with a focus on easy maintenance and long lasting build quality. This Swedish company started manufacturing lawn mowers in 1919 and continues creating innovative designs today.

      • Fast blade service: The cutting blades come off easily from the deck for cleaning and sharpening.

      • Pedal control: All riding mower controls function through the pedals, so the homeowner has both hands available for steering.
