“Design fault. AVOID or waste your money!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by julianfs on 19/01/2015

As everyone else, bought in B&Q and after strimming for about 15 mins every time I cut the lawn it failed the next summer. Took it apart and the drive belt was shredded. Bought a replacement but after 10 mins the same happened again and now the plastic cogs have melted. Drive cog from the motor is made of cast aluminium. WHY MAKE A CHEAP PLASTIC ONE TO DRIVE THE SHAFT?! Don't buy this product, it will let you down! B&D have been selling it for at least 6 years with this fault. Rip off Britain!
