I purchased a HU800AWD mower less than a year ago. I used it for two months and took great care of it.
The first time I used it this year the blade flew out the bottom of the mower. I am completely fine repairing the mower myself but the genuine OEM part seems to be just as dangerous. After reading the reviews for this part I'm surprised that this mower/part has not been recalled.
This part is still being sold which is just negligent.
I need a new blade adapter for my mower that is not a death trap.
Part # for reference: 581851501
I have a HU675AWD model walk behind mower. The grass catch bag on one side has double fabric which catches grass and dust in between the fabric. No clue why they doubled the fabric on one side. I called Customer Service, she said she could not replace the bag and said just return the mower where you purchased it. I took it back to Lowes and the guy said they can't just replace the catch bag, so to get it replaced I had to have them send it to the repair center in Atlanta from Alabama. So I went to pick it up a week later, it came back with the same bag on it, WOW shocking (not really!!), even though the service ticket explained the problem. But it did come back with scratches on the top, lovely. So the guy at Lowes went and took a bag from another mower which was the same bag I had. Needless to say, the same issue occurred, the double side full of dust and grass again. I removed it from the metal frame and there is no way to get the stuff out, so I guess I will just cut the inside second layer of fabric. I emailed Husqvarna and after a month NO RESPONSE from Customer Service. I only used the mower 6 times when this started happening, and about 6 more uses the front wheel disengages while mowing and grass is spewing out the top of the grass catcher are right towards my face. I would never buy this brand again, horrible customer service on a new mower and too many issues with a new mower. Yes I am thinking of returning it before the one year is up.
I decided to replace my 23 year old craftsman mower and treat myself.bought a 550fh after a lot of debating.after five uses on a 60x80 back yard. I have to say love the mower easy start great cut,great drive system,BUT THE CATCH BAG SUCKS .!!!! After you get past the pull rope in the way of removing and reinstalling the bag,after five weeks of mowing bag dragging on the ground.looked for better supported bag no luck.is a better bag offered???i don't think this mower will last me 23 years or better put I will not keep this mower with this probable constant problem.poor design thanks Kevin shade
I mailed the forms for a Visa card rebate for the push mower 7021P with a honda engine to Husquvarna Walk Mower $50 Husqvarna Visa Prepaid Card, Dept. 420-26, PO Box 751367, El Paso, TX 88575-1367 on July 1, 2011. The paperwork indicated that it may take 6-8 weeks for processing, but that time has come and gone. Are they behind on sending these? Is there anyone to contact regarding this? Any information is appreciated.
