“RUBBISH TAKES ABSOLUTELY AGES TO START!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by blake-63 on 01/05/2014

Purchased this lawnmower 3.4.14 after reading good reviews. It is the worst one we have ever owned, it takes a lot of work to get it started I cannot get it going at all, my son has to hold it down while my husband pulls the cord so many times its unbelievable! Then when we stop to empty grass box we cant get it going again. The frustrating part is Argos wont refund unless manufacturers admit it is faulty but according to them as long as it starts theres no problem but the person my husband spoke to admitted that it is hard to start them but cant seem to see it is no good to me if I can't start it. I must say once its going it is very quick and cuts well but thats no good when it takes longer to start than to actually use it. My advice is don't even think about buying one.

I found that even when its hot after a stop put the lever to START and a quick pull on the start pull cord and move the lever straight back to run or half way between run and start before it chokes itself. The run and start lever is just a basic choke like on old cars.
