Challenge Xtreme 40cm Self Propelled Rotary Mower

Absolutely joke after a year parts breaking off then the pull cord .. never will I buy this product again !! Straight to the tip

It's the manual push one (not the self propelled)

Worst mower ever, OK, it was chea,but I expected it to work properly, even for a cheap mower

First of all, it was difficult to start, but when I got it going, and when I was ready to empty the grass box

When I put the grass box back on the lawnmower, it still doesn't start ,!

It leaked from the fuel tank cap ,. Every time I had to remove the spark plug and clean it.

And finally,the pull mechanism packed in.

I noticed it was made in China on the label

bought one 2 years ago, had nothing but trouble. can't even get spares now.

had it two weeks & magneto went, repaired under warrenty. give them due sending back & return was easy. just never ran properly.now runs too rich.

Had mine for in excess of 7 years. Cost about £120 from Argos & came with a free petrol strimmer. Strimmer lasted about 6 months but the mower goes on and on. I give it an annual service and replace the spark plug every 3 years. Really robust tool for the reasonable price I paid.

Had this mower now 7 years as long as you follow the instructions it runs and cuts like a dream starts every year on the first pull every time couldn't ask for more. As long as it's stored properly and serviced like any mower there's no issues with this.

Pro's

Cheap, easy to use, easy store, easy to start

Con's

The self propell is a bit fast

Mower starts every time. Petrol on, choke in, gently pull start chord until you fell the compression build up. I.E. it feels tight, then a steady strong extended pull. Empty petrol tank at end of season, run engine with carb cleaner until it is dry and stops, change the oil. After three years it needed a service, now runs like new again. Get one with a central height adjustment. Parts may be a problem later on.

bought this model three year ago , had no trouble what so ever, put away last september got out of shed april23rd thinking doubt very much if this will start,low and behold two pulls and away she went!! bit smokey and smelly but fine again after five minutes

This is a good little mower ONCE IT STARTS. I bought it last year, used it twice, stored in shed, when I tried to start it this week it refused point blank to start, I'm a mechanic by trade and it looked like the primer pump wasn't working, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME but the only way I could get it to start was by removing the air cleaner cover and manually spraying in petrol !!! Guess I'll have to order a new pump, but it should last more than one year

the worst thing i ever bought !!

would never buy again,

This is my second summer with this heap of Chinese made junk. I can't believe I got rid of my trusty old mower and brought this into my house. I should be ashamed of myself. The main problem is that the poxy thing never starts. You pull the cord over and over again and nothing happens. I must admit it is an excellent work out but it makes me want to do what John Cleese once did to that car. Admittedly once the temperamental heap of junk kicks in to life it does actually cut the grass but that is not the point. DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER BUYING ONE OF THESE. THEY ARE RUBBISH. Well tonight the cord eventually went. Not surprising as it's seen more work in one and a bit years than the old cord did in ten.
