Just short of having it a year, it quit working. I believe that the problem is in the contact switch on the handle which is not user serviceable. Since it is still under warranty, we contacted the manufacturer. We were told to find someone to fix it. That person would contact the manufacturer and let them know which part is broken. The manufacturer will send them the part. We pay to have it fixed, send Brill the bill and they will remburse us. What a mess!!! Now for the good part ... we can't find anyone who will touch it! It's a great lawn mower (while it was working), but the lack of a service infrastructure to support it, makes it something you may want to stay away from. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

It well worth the price and very cute to boot. 8 of 13 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: Brill Accu 380ASM Rechargeable Power Reel Mower 65042 (Lawn & Patio) ... but not Brill!

I should've bought a trusted American (well, made in (insert your country of choice here) ) made brand and save a bundle! Quality is not bad but the mower itself is WAY overpriced. The grass catcher came with unfinished stitches - ripped wide open on the first use. Battery life is decent but nowhere near enough for 3000sf, even after more than 5 charges. And, if it runs out of juice, don't even think you can use it on manual mode - the mower's plastic wheels are, to put it nicely - totally useless, no grip at all! (made by Tonka for Toy'R Us, maybe?) Grass height adjustment MUST be checked every so often, since it has the tendency to lower itself - I guess because of the weight of blade. Other than that is a great mower :) Now, don't get me wrong, it's a good mower but, in my opinion, well over hyped! It does a decent job but I think, for the...Read more |
