My Bolens riding lawnmower, 38 inch got stuck in...

My Bolens riding lawnmower, 38 inch got stuck in Fort gear or whatever I could not stop it and I went to a metal garage door. Luckily I put my hands over my head which I had just had surgery on my neck and my arms and my hands are all cut up and it shook me up really bad my garage door as I got to be replaced and my l’amour is stuck in The gear was stuck in forwards in the pedal where you push down for the break it will no longer push down it’s stuck and I want Bolens to know there’s a defect in this lawn more and I almost killed me and it happened one time before in 2016 it has been a great lawnmower but they’re scared to death on me and I think that they need to know if they should do something because now I got a buy a door For my garage and I got to get another lawnmower more. I don’t want this to happen to somebody else killed me.

Machine is Crap

Original review May 05, 2023
Brand new - it shuts off soon as I start to use it - tried to adjusting the idle, no good. And I'm quite sure the place I bought it from is going to tell me to return it to the manufacturer -but I'm going to try. Where I purchased it they actually took it back - I received a full refund and bought a different name brand.

I had a bolens weed eater for 6 months and mtd don't honor there warranty

I bought this weed eater just to get by until I get my other weed eater working and this piece of *** didn't last six months from the day I purchased it and now mtd trying to tell me I ran it without a filter on it so they don't have to fix it under their warranty

Bolens BL160 FAIL

Less than 2 years old, pull starter won't recoil. Bunch of *** plastics parts doomed to fail and designed to prevent repair. Waste of $160.

Won’t start

Bought this weed eater two summers ago. Its been used maybe, MAYBE 5 times for a total of two hours. It flat would not start this summer. It was stored inside and well taken care of. They primer button and fuel line were replaced and it still wont start. We took it for repair and was told it was junk and had no compression. Amazingly enough the warranty we bought was never received. Threw $168 away!

Pull cord

Bought late August it's now November used only a few times went to start and the pull cord is all the way out .no starting this weed eater..products keep getting cheaper and cheaper in their manufacturing.why bother buying anything at Lowe's when you can't get it repaired...and you can't return it after 30 days..it took me a long time in the store to pick out this weed whacker and I was really happy with it,it did a good job.so disappointed.cant rate the company yet as it is Saturday and who the *** works on the weekend ,when that's when you need them the most.

Biggest mistake ever.

NeverI sacrificed quality over price. I grew up with Stihl. Never had a problem. Bought a Bolens in July from Lowes. Ive used it about three times. It cranks great the first time you use it, but cut it off for any reason, and you are done for the day. I have a big property and have never been able to cut it all in one day because of this gigantic pos weed eater. The line wont feed either. You can only put a tiny bit of string in it and bumping the head just broke the inside. Ive used it three times. Im only here because I was trying to find a fix online and saw his many other people are having the same trouble. Im back to borrowing my moms weed eater for now.

Bolens BL125 won't start.

I purchase a Bolens leaf blower from Lowes, model BL125 4 months ago. It has only started twice and now it won't start at all. This is the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen. The steps you have to go through to start it are ridiculous. The starting procedure is a big joke. I paid $89.00 for this piece of junk. Lowes don't seem to want to do anything about it since it's outside the 9O days plus I didn't get the insurance coverage. What a big waste. No wonder U.S. company's are going under. I'm wondering where this thing was made, probably China!

TRASH

How the *** this thing even sells is beyond me...the manufactures at this atrocious company should all retire for developing such an atrocious piece of equipment.

The Bolens leaf blower BL-125 "Want Start"

This is the worst product I have ever purchase. I have only had this item for about 3 months so it hasn't been use that much. If you can ever get it started. This item is the biggest piece of crap that I have ever seen. I bought this leaf blower at Lowes for about $90 plus tax. Biggest rip-off I have ever fell into. Pissed off customer! I will never buy anything else that has Bolens name on it.

There have to be better trimmers

My old Craftsman 2 cycle trimmer finally died-after 17 years a fuel line crumbled away so I bought a Bolens BL160. Had it for 2 seasons now. Engine starts well. But the trimmer line feed mechanism is a disaster. Constantly need to unscrew, rewind, place in carefully, trim for a little, and repeat. The engineering department should be ashamed. I am an engineer and work for a large Healthcare company. I sometimes wish it would do a better job with product development, but the trimmer spool and feed team botched it.

It broke to fast

I have not even had this weed eater for an entire summer and the pull string has already broke. Yes I got a good price on it but would never purchase again. I could see if I had it for a couple of summers but I did not. Please people do not waste your money!
