General Comments
I have had this mower for about 5 years and every year I just wish the motor would blow up and I could buy a new mower (not a Concorde 32).

From day one the trigger has bitten the fleshy part of my palm. The motor compartment became so full of grass cuttings I consider it to be a positive fire hazard. There are no instructions in the owner's manual but last week I managed to partially remove the motor cover and clean out the tinder like clippings. I took some pictures and plan to send them to Qualcast as I think there is a real safety issue here.

I made enquiries about having the bldes sharpened and was told it would be cheaper to buy a new mower.

Value For Money

Just because a lawnmower is not economical to service shouldn't really be classified as a bad point. If you want a mower that is worth servicing then buy a dearer mower if you want, but don't knock it just because it's a cheap mower and to get it serviced would render it uneconomical- some people would rate that as a positive that it's a cheap mower.

I found this review unhelpful because...you simply cannot state something that costs around £70 that has lasted 5 years without fault is not "good value for money" I cannot think of any other appliance that costs so little yet gets such abuse and people expect it to last for more than 5 years. £70 is a meal for two with a good bottle of wine....and exactly how long does that last!.

The faults that I have highlighted haven't just occured, they have been there since day one. That said, £70 for one season's mowing isn't good enough in anyone's reckoning.
