Title: Beware- long term use breaks plastic case!
Review: Despite occasional malfunctions of the power switch (I needed to repeatedly actuate it before it engaged again) I was quite satisfied with the mower for ca. 1 year. I used the mower ca. every two weeks in summer, mowing 0.35 acres of hilly terrain. After a year I noticed a crack in the plastic case, which in my opinion is under-dimensioned for a motor that powerful. I believe the product has not been thoroughly tested, otherwise it would have become obvious that such a thin casing would be torn apart during long-term use. The crack extended, and now the entire rear part of the mower which includes the rear wheels has fallen off! I can only dispose of it in the garbage can, thanks to the customer support and lack of repair options (plastic welding, anyone?).
Is the review positive or negative?
