Very pleased with mower, ease of purchasing and speedy delivery by DPD. This mower was not the cheapest option but I read various reviews from different places and it came out on top. I hope it will prove as reliable as my last small electric mower (Flymo but the same model was no longer available anywhere. Time will tell. That is the problem with reviews isn't it? Performance of things like this and longevity can only be reviewed after say a year and NOT at the point of purchase!!!

Absolutely awful experience. My mower arrived with missing parts. I contacted them immediately via phone, was advised to email in, followed their instructions. They ignored emails, were difficult to get hold of on the phone, didn't take any of the action they said they were going to. After nearly a week of waiting for them to send the missing parts they still hadn't so I decided to return. Again no communication, didn't acknowledge the return, and didn't refund despite stating they would. Had to go through PayPal disputes to get my money back. Avoid these lot at all costs and go to literally any other supplier!

Part does not fit... return and refund required

The item I ordered arrived promptly, which is good. Unfortunately it does not fit my mower. I have sent an email to mowersonline (they will not answer parts enquiries by phone) with photographic evidence the part does not fit and requested a refund. As yet they have not even acknowledged receipt of my email. I will give them a few more days and then seek redress through my credit card company.

Hi, We have tried to contact you via email and we are waiting for a response from you. The gasket you have been supplied with is the correct gasket for the models listed on the product page but it is clear from the photographs you have supplied that it will not fit. In our email we asked for the serial number of the mower and the serial number of the engine (stamped onto the block). Once we have these we will speak to the techncial specialists in Mountfield to identify the correct gasket for your mower. In the meantime if you could return the incorrect gasket and we will refund your postage cost. Kind regards The Mowers Online Team

Ordered a hayter chain. They sent me two other chains that didn’t fit. Contacted them and they said they will look into it. A week later and two chasers still no response.

Delivery process poor.

Invested in a ride on tractor mower and was pleased with purchase. Waited for confirmation of despatch and this happened quickly but then nothing else. Chased up with company to see when tractor would be delivered and they said that they would look into it. Received an email saying it would be despatched shortly and then courier would be in touch. None of this happened and we started to think maybe we'd been scammed. Tractor then arrived at 8am one morning without warning. Slight damage to a piece of plastic but just relieved it got here at all. Probably wouldn't buy from them again.

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. The Cobra tractor you ordered from us was sent to you directly by Cobra (all Cobra tractors are sent directly to customers) and we have passed your comments back to Cobra for review.

Despite all the lies to the contrary still waiting for the oil to start my lawn mower. Gave up and went out and purchased SAE30 oil. Hopeless company to deal with.

Hi, We need to point out that we have already sent you two replacement bottles of oil and very strangely both have not been delivered to you. As a result we have raised a complaint with Royal Mail and asked them to investigate. Kind regards The Mowers Online Team

Hi, Thanks for your review. We think it would be useful to mention that you ordered the wrong cable for your mower and when you contacted us we got the details of the mower from you and sent you the correct cable by return. We are sorry that the team didn;'t manage to contact you to discuss the return of the original cable. Having checked our records I can see that they did attempt to call twice without success but we will ensure that they contact you via email to arrange the return of the original cable. Kind regards The Mowers Online Team

Ruined Christmas Surprise!

I purchased a leaf blower as a surprise for my other half's Christmas present, it wasn't cheap at just under £250. It arrived in its own branded box, my other half opened the door to the delivery guy and that was his Christmas surprise over with, as it was plastered all over the box exactly what it was. I contacted Mowers direct and all I got back was... "Well you didn't calaborate with us to say it was a gift!" Firstly why would I? I've never had any online purchase turn up in its original box, usually the bare minimum is that they come out in a bag, especially over winter in the damp and secondly, it's December, are you supposed to notify every single online purchase that you make that its a gift? Would I buy from these guys again, sadly not as their response to my email was very poor indeed.

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. As my colleague informed you on the call, if you had put a note on your order to confirm that it was a gift we would have ensured that it was shipped in plain packaging. Unfortunately we can't repackage every single item we sell on the off chance it may be a gift for someone but we will always endeavour to help where we can. We just need to know beforehand!

The delivery was awful, basically I spent a whole day from morning till afternoon waiting for the two hourly update on delivery which never arrived. The next day I received an update and delivery was made at eleven am. The mower was on a horrific pallet which the driver was unable to help me with. It took over an hour to cut away the pallet to be able to manoeuvre the mower onto the ground. The mower came with an instruction manual but sadly the whole experience has put a dampener onto what should have been an exciting event especially as it’s twenty years since it’s predecessor was delivered and been in use. On hindsight I should have chosen white glove delivery which I feel would have been more appropriate for my circumstances.

Appalling communications. After buying I heard nothing for several days. I emailed, as you have no phone line. The reply was rude and uninformative.

Very poor communication

Things I didn’t like: 1. Very poor communication. 2. No emails regarding dispatch or delivery 3. No response to emails 4. I had to use PayPal resolution for a refund. 5. I basically had to sort Cobra collecting my mower myself after Mowers Online couldn’t give me a collection date. Things I liked: 1.! When you do speak to staff they were pleasant and friendly. 2. Good website with lots of products and good prices. I ordered a Cobra mower but it turned out to be faulty. It was collected on the first of Sept & returned to Cobra, I asked Mowers Online about a collection date and they couldn’t provide it so I contacted Cobra Direct and they arranged collection for the next day, I had to contact Cobra direct to get info & get PayPal resolution to issue the refund after. I didn’t order a totally different mower from them when this one turned out to be faulty but I think I’ll have seconds thoughts next time simply due to the absolutely poor communication which is a shame.

Takes an age to arrange delivery as courier does not contact the customer but tells Mowers-online that is has done so. It took 4 weeks & 4 emails to Mower-online before they finally sent out a receipt for my purchase. Would not recommend to anyone.

Mountfield 827M

Delivery was quick - I’ll give you that, but I’ve had nothing but problems with the mower since I took delivery. Blade won’t engage and engine has problems restarting. Your customer service line is non existent! Every time I’ve tried to phone the line cuts off! yet your website states you’re there to help Monday- Friday, 8.30-5.30pm. I am in contact with you via email but could really do with speaking to someone who can help me fix my problem
