STIGA - Reviews and experiences

I won’t be buying another Stiga. Glad I figured that out before sinking more cash. The mower worked sometimes, but it’s been one headache after another so I’m moving on. After only six years the thing feels way older — starters, clutches, belts, you name it needed replacing more than I expected. I’ve replaced solenoids a few times, swapped batteries (that’s normal) and fixed belts and idlers so often I lost count. What pushed me over the edge was the aftercare — Stiga’s support pretty much shrugged and didn’t offer much help when warranty ran out. I get policies, but a small gesture of goodwill would’ve gone a long way; nope, not there. In contrast, my old mower from another brand lasted ages and the dealer helped out even after warranty, so I know decent support exists. I’m not trying to rant — just sharing the experience so someone else can avoid the same trap. If you don’t want repeat visits to the shed with parts in hand, look into brands with better reliability and customer service even if they cost a bit more. I’m ordering a different make next; fingers crossed for a quieter, more reliable summer.
