Performance Pro 1600HMA Review

Overall Rating

None

It's heavy, cumbersome to move around and store.

I have had two Performance Pro 1600HMA mowers in under a year. One overheated and stopped working and the other just stopped after just six uses. I had to take both mowers back to B&Q and they relunctantly refunded me. One was reduced to £34.99, but it was the inconvenience of returning it. The cut is not good, it is heavy to move around and shaves the edges of the grass. The grass goes everywhere, little in the box. Most of it goes on the machine parts. Noisy too. I don't recommend this at all and if two have broken down after such a short period, you would have the same trouble as me. They don't fold flat either and the grass-box is hard to close as the cogs don't align properly. You have to jiggle it to close the box. After cutting, the machine is covered in grass bits and yourself, I may add. So once again at the bank holiday I am without a mower. I just don't know which one to buy. Why can't they make them like they used to? Planned abosolence and the awkward journey there and back to B&Q parking trolley, back unload, assemble, to find the thing packs up after a few cuts!!!
