1.0 out of 5 stars Yard Man Warranty not reliable, September 22, 2003

This review is from: Yard-Man 25A-253N401 5 hp String Trimmer Mower (Lawn & Patio)

The Yard Man wheeled string trimmer is a great product when it works properly. However, 10 minutes after I started the mower and began to cut grass, the belt came off. I put it back on but it would not stay on when the mower was engaged. I took it to a certified repair center and they would not repair it under warranty. I paid $20.00 twice to have the belt put back on the mower. Yard man customer service told me that I needed a part to fix the mower and after giving me the part number, told me to go back to the repair shop and tell them to order the part. They would not order under warranty because they told me Yard Man would not pay. I refused to pay to have it fixed because it is supposed to be under warranty. I have emailed Yard Man but did not get a response. I have other Yard Man products and have been very happy with them. I am unhappy with this purchase, but have been uanble to return the mower or get anyone to fix it for me. I'm disappointed because I like to buy "American made" and I expect a merchant to stand behind their warranty. I have disputed this charge on my VISA because I have not other avenue. I would not recommend buying this product through Amazon.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes no prisoners, July 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Yard-Man 25A-253N401 5 hp String Trimmer Mower (Lawn & Patio)

I bought this mower because we let the weeds on our one acre property grow too high to mow with a regular mower. This trimmer/mower did the job. The cutting height can be adjusted easily, and everything else about it is accessible, even for a mechanical dummy like me. It not only hacks down the tallest weeds, but if you then back up and run over them again, it will nicely mulch them up, so you don't have to haul off the weed corpses.
The string that comes with this is pretty wimpy and wore out quickly, but Orchard Supply (and probably a lot of other places) sells a tougher string that you can cut to size yourself and save a lot of money.
The oil is supposed to be changed after the first two hours of use. We (I, my husband and our college age son) could not figure out how to drain the oil without getting oil all over the flywheel, etc. So I took it to a lawnmower shop where they PUMPED it out and charged me $... Not too bad, considering that the next oil change is after 50 more hours of use.
I honestly can not find any faults with this machine. It does what it's supposed to do. What more can you ask?

Bought this here and am happy with it. Cuts through areas overgrown with weeds quickly and (almost) easily. So far starts up with no problems. It arrives ready to run except straightening out the handle, tightening a couple wing nuts by hand, putting in the supplied oil, and adding gas. Worth spending a few bucks more compared to department store "name brand"
