Weed Eater One 960220007 (26") 190cc Rear Engine Riding Mower

I bought this lawn mower to cut my 1/2 acre lawn and the width was just right to drive through my gates.
My lawn is very level but when I went to turn and go in the opposite direction an awful grinding noise came from the rear end and the mower would not move forward.
Contacted the Weed Eater Corp (no website accessible customer service) told by rep I would have to take to their affiliated repair location. Only 6mos in to my 2 yr warranty.

The recommended repair location is having problems getting the warranted parts from Weed Eater Corp. My WeedEater mower has been at their shop 3+ weeks waiting for a part from the WeedEater Corp.

Home Depot had this listed with a 4 out of 5 rating. But after seeing all the reviews on the Weed Eater website I didn't see anything to even rate it a 1.

Even Home Depot has quit selling them.

I research products before purchasing and I realize now I might have well took my money and set a match to it.
This product should have never been put on the market.

WeedEater Shame on You!

I made the mistake of buying this for my yard thinking it would be easy to navigate the gardens and gate-ways.
I have a slight incline to my front yard and this toy spun its wheels even at a grade of approx. 15 degree. That was the least of my concerns, however. The day I brought it home I made 3 passes across my yard and the deck bracket broke at the weld and gouged my lawn before I noticed I was dragging the deck. I took it to have it re-welded and made another attempt to cut grass. The second time I used it the cable broke which activates the brake mechanism. I called the dealer and asked if they would come out to repair. I was told I would have to bring it in for repair. I had already rented a U-Haul truck for $78.00 to bring it home. So, instead, I asked to have a cable mailed to me and repaired it myself. Next time I tried it the seat mount broke. I was so pi**ed I rented a U-Haul again to return this defective and cheaply designed toy and when I arrived I was told I could not return it because it had gas in it. I pushed it out to the parking lot and tipped it upside-down to let the gas drain out and pushed it back in the store and demanded that a Manager approve the return. I think my crazed appearance, at that point, was convincing. Although I was out approx. $200.00 in fees I had spent to play with this worthless so called lawn mower. If they had not approved the return I would have sold it as a boat anchor on the great lakes.
Please! Please do not even consider.

I Bought It 2010 and It Has Been Junk the Frame Cracked the Cable Broke and the Plastic Insert Broke in the Steering Wheel and Now It Will Not Go in Gear. This Is Total Junk

bought it from Amazon. The minute I saw it I knew it was trouble. $800.00 ripoff

The second or third time I used it the brake cable broke. I hoisted the front end up while I waited for cable to come in. After replacing cable it smoked. The gas had drained into oil. The technician said it needed a carburetor kit. He replaced it. It did not fix it. I gave it to a good will organization as I figured that I could not look anyone in the face and sell it to him. If you have one of these, I suggest that you give it to your worst enemy or haul it to the junkyard.

Had whole drive system replaced before 2 years were up. Now just under 1 year after repair, the same problem has returned.

Purchased from Wal Mart @ clearance. Complete disappointment. No wonder no one else bought it!

Worse mower I've ever owned. steering section and cable broke after a years use.

First, 2 flat tires (paper thin). Next gear in steering broke (plastic). Soon had to replace the other 2 tires. My yard is flat with very few trees and very little debris. Now will not start. I have had it. I had this mower for less than 2 summers. JUNK!!!

Bought mine 3-4 years ago the past 2 years I was lucky to get through mowing season, the smell of burnt clutch and grinding gears filled the air. My neighbors even complained about all the rattle and don't even get me started about the stirring, all I can say is mine is ready for the scrap heap do they even still make them? Why put Americans thru the terror of owning one. Buyer beware JUNK

Sick, disabled and ripped off! By Weedeater!
