Just hours after installing the robotic lawnmower, it stopped working.
Ali Kouchek, 37, is one of several affected customers who are now furious with the manufacturer Husqvarna.
– It feels terrible. I feel cheated, he says.
It cost over 25,000 kronor and it took him two days to install boundary wires.
Ali Kouchek, 37, was hoping for his new robotic lawnmower from Husqvarna would save many summers of toil in the future. But only 36 hours after the installation, he became aware of other bids.
– It quit altogether. I took the mower to the dealer who promised that it would be repaired. Eventually I learned that it was the circuit board, the battery and the software that went wrong, he says.
Five weeks later, he still has not got his robotic lawnmower back. He has contacted the dealer several times and requested a repurchase. The dealer refers to contacting Husqvarna, while Husqvarna says the opposite.
– It feels terrible. The machine has been in the workshop for a longer time than at my home. I feel cheated and would have liked better communication, says Ali Kouchek.
