1 star because I can't put less

I bought a mower in April this year, was supposed to be delivered in June. Well it's December and I still have no mower. I've called, emailed and no response. I should have looked at reviews, now they have my money and I don't have squat. Don't even think about buying from this company...

If you're reading this review you're way ahead of me. I only researched the mower. Didn't think about the company. STUPID ME! These folks are the worst. 1000 ways to get out of fixing any problems with the mower, the delivery etc. Whatever you think you may save, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WORTH IT! Check the reviews from sites other than theirs. I just want to know how they got a 1.7 star rating. Seems way to high.

Order Electrical Start Hayter lawnmower. Arrived quickly but incomplete and with a faulty battery. No start button included and the battery faulty (had battery checked by a lawnmower repair company). Called as soon as I realised that the part was missing and was told they would call me back immediately. No call as promised and now not responding to emails or phone calls. Price maybe cheaper than elsewhere but you take a gamble. I purchased without looking at reviews - wished I had read the reviews beforehand as I would not have used them.

Brought a mower from them and never got to use it because it wasn't able to turn from the start. Mowers direct basically said they aren't responsible because we put gas in it already. By the way it's a gas powered lawn mower that we would never know doesn't work without putting gas. Mower never cut one piece of grass, 0 hours on it but they aren't responsible for it. Turns out there was a crack in the transmission, "brand new mower that we were sold"

I'd settled on a Honda HRX mower to replace the rock-solid model I loved and had given to my son. Local stores didn't carry it, so I called and talked to a salesperson who confirmed they had it in stock and said it could be returned if there was an issue with it. I ordered online, and THEN my wife said, "What about their reviews". My heart sank as I saw 1.6 stars. I started praying. When it arrived, it 'looked' like a brand new model by the way it was packed, although there was tape falling off of the bottom of the box, which made me start thinking. I added the oil, and new gas, turned on the fuel line, and started pulling. And pulling. And pulling. NOTHING. My confidence evaporated while my grass continued to grow. I called Mowers Direct and was THEN told, sorry, you added fuel; you're stuck with it. Call Honda. So, now my absolutely brand new mower, which hasn't turned over once, is now in the shop. I'm so kicking myself for not researching these guys more, as I would have NOT purchased from them. I guess they're happy as they have my $1000 and all the hassle now on me. The lessons that you learn through pain...

Stupid company

Terrible Company
May 17, 2022

Purchased a product that arrived damaged. This company refuses to do anything to cover my expense of making the repairs to the product. I have spent well over $10K with this outfit and they treat me like an unimportant consumer. Think about how they will treat you.

This stupid $#*! company cancelled my order without letting me know. There was no reason. No email. No phone call. I only found out when I looked at my order status a week later. The prior page was all good they even charged my credit card. I hate poor service. Now I will go buy my $1000 push mower from someone else. Their service sucks. Don't use them. Ps. I sent them an email asking why, no response. Jackasses.

NEVER BUY FROM THEM
December 20, 2021

I spent $1000 with them for equipment that started once and that was it. After going through everything in the manual I reached out to Mowers Direct. They refused to help at all and washed their hands of the whole thing. They told me they wouldn't help me and I'd have to work everything out with Snapper directly if I could. There aren't many businesses I can think of that deny all help and support to customers for what's supposed to be a new product. Buy from another business that has a track record of good service but don't get it from this outfit.

I purchased a triple lawn bagger for my mower...
I purchased online and did not receive a confirmation or email. I checked my bank, and no charges. I attempted to call several times with no answer. I figured I had done something wrong, so I purchased again. And once again, no confirmation, no email, nothing. So, I decided to purchase elsewhere. A day or so later, I received a notification that my credit card was charged 3 THREE times! I tried and tried to contact but no answer. The next day, early, I was able to reach a person that told me he baggers had not shipped, but was not sure, therefore could NOT CANCEL. Of course, the same day, the baggers were shipped. NOW, this company wants to charge a "shipping" fee! Another person called it "re-stocking" fee. I've tried to discuss with the folks at MowersDirect and they say it is my (customer) fault. DO NOT EVER BUY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Buyer beware
November 23, 2021

1st of all I wish I could give them minus stars! This is the worst company I have ever dealt with! I ordered a pull behind Is forestry mower that took forever To get, Once I got it it was missing the toe bar, it was not sent with it. I called the company took forever to get that part then when I did it didn't have the pins that goes with the bar! So now I have been waiting for over 2 weeks to get those! I've had this mower for over a month and have not been able to use it! I'll never ever buy from this company again!

Worst purchase experience of my life!
August 21, 2021

I bought a high quality Husqvarna lawn tractor from them cause the model I wanted wasnt available anywhere else. When it was delivered it was missing the user manual, parts for battery, parts for attaching seat, the key, it also had scratches all over it. I asked for replacement parts and they sent me random hardware that didnt work cause it wasnt the right parts.SO I went directly to Husqvarna to order the missing pieces. Mowers direct is a horrible business and should go out of business!

I purchased a Honda push mower from Mowers Direct. Overall, the mower has performed well in the last 11 months but I purchased the extended warranty just in case I needed it. The site markets these warranties over and over while you are on hold with them and throughout their website. Buyer beware. In the 11th month of having my mower, the pull start would not grab the engine to crank it. I figured something like this should be covered either under the manufacturers warranty or the extended warranty. I called the company only to be placed on hold for over 30 minutes. When I finally did reach a person, they gave me the wrong number to the service center. When I looked up the company name they gave me, I googled the number and called them but the rep told me they did not do lawn mower repairs. So I then googled Mowers Direct Service Centers and found a link to two places to supposedly take my mower. When I called one, they told me that more than likely my problem was not covered by the manufacturers warranty which only covers defects by the manufacturer and the extended warranty only extends the original manufacturers warranty. Now think about this. If there was a manufacturer's defect, wouldn't it likely show itself within the first month? Why buy and extended warranty that only covers defects? Is the defect going to show up after 2 years? My main problem here is how the company markets these warranties and makes the customers feel that their equipment will be covered if suddenly it won't operate. Not so. Basically you can get the same kind of service from any of the big box stores and you might as well take your mower to a local repair shop or YouTube it if you have a problem. These warranties are really just scams to make a bit more money from every customer.

Sleeve hitch
May 19, 2021

I purchased an xt1 sleeve hitch on their website. I was sent an xt3 sleeve hitch. $302 with shipping. Instead of making it right and swapping the two, I have to pay $40 for shipping back, pay 25% restocking fee, get refunded 75% and buy another. What a joke. I should have used Amazon. Do NOT buy anything associated with Mowers Direct. Cub Cadet needs to find a new distributor.

Ordered an Agri-Fab core aerator from Mowers Direct that was listed as "In stock, ready to ship" and paid via credit card. I was immediately thanked for my order, followed shortly by another email explaining that my order would be delayed 2 weeks due to multiple factors beyond their control. That email was soon followed up by another stating an ADDITIONAL 2 weeks would be necessary for them to ship an item that was IN STOCK, READY TO SHIP. This is, IMHO, deceptive advertising. Buyer Beware.
