After only 70 hours of mowing the deck broke off. The whole thing was coming apart - cracked in multiple places. They wouldn't fix it under warranty. Poor quality deck - far too thin. Do not buy.
Rear wheel actually fell after bearing collapsed – Very disappointing...agree with other negative comments, but worst issue is the rear wheel actually fell off when mowing nature strip...apparently… Read more
wheel bearing collapsed after just 26 months of domestic use, mowing my level residential kikuyu lawn. The replacement wheels were very light and have now seized barely 5 months later...assume the bearings again :(

Don’t waste your money – Was looking for a more premium lawn mower than your average run of the mill Bunnings Victa. This lawnmower was a massive let down, you would think… Read more
with Swedish heritage it would be excellent, however this was no better than the cheapest petrol mower you can buy at Bunnings for a quarter of the price.
Issues:
- catcher did not catch properly dropping bits of leaf and grass - catcher hard to put on - seemed to lack power and struggle over thicker sections of lawn (my lawn not long or thick).
No refunds once used, so now I’m stuck with it…

belts, the catcher chute clogs, the steel on the deck bends. We have never had more than a few months between failures. Absolute garbage.

Excellent mower the turning circle is awesome and the engine purrs like a cat. Fantastic on fuel seating so comfortable for sitting on a mower for 2 hours. And has cruise control as a bonus. Great decision to go Husqvarna
Worst mower I've owned – The handle starts to deteriorate within the first few uses. The "H" logo on the front of the mower begins to peel quickly Wheel bearings have died… Read more
after 18 months of casual domestic use Husqvarna refuse to honour any warranty repairs on the product - the fine print on this is deep within their warranty page. I really expected that for $609 I was purchasing a quality product. I've found my past Massports & Victa mowers to be substantially better built.
Powerful, quiet and easy to use – I’m on a rural property and have used this mostly so far to clear blackberry bushes that are years old with long thick canes, over my head in height.… Read more
Using the blade, it cuts through it all with ease. Also cleared a whole lot (>300m2) of periwinkle weed with it. I recently got a saw blade and have cut small bushes with it.
It’s comfortable to use (I have the RS which has the harness), and starts easy every time, maybe 2-3 pulls on choke then a couple to start.
It’s also surprisingly quiet, more of a softer sound than I expected.
I’m very happy with it. I just need to work out how to clean all the dried up grass off it that’s glued on.

iron bark & yellow box without any issues. Some trees are up to 16 inches in diameter & this saw just eats it. A very enjoyable saw to use.
frustrating – Seriously the engineer that designed the line spool system should be shot

time. I've thrown all sorts of gum at it and never skips a beat, as long as chain is sharp. I think its a perfectly balanced saw with regard power vs weight ratio. Also 20inch bar is perfect size - it's easy to control and rarely do I wish it was longer. My firewood shed is choc-a-bloc thanks to my husky!
Rubbish – Used for no more than 30 hours(460 rancher) serviced regularly and then needed an engine rebuild absolute rubbt

stick but the stamped cutting deck is no stronger then a 12 or 16 hp version of a ride on with only 2.5 mm of steel thickness every thing is very marginal designed if you need a mower with power because you got acreage and high grass buy some thing else. if you just want to manicure lawns a 16 hp version will do

Uses a full tank of oil to half a tank of fuel. Cuts out sometimes and is hard to start warm. Off switch is easy to accidently bump and turn off while working. Cheap and has lasted me two seasons of fire wooding without a break down
As A Tiller It's Amazing – Bought this as it was cheaper, lighter and more manoeuvrable than the Honda rear-tined tiller - both currently have a 4 to 6 month wait. Folded up… Read more
will fit in a SUV or wagon. Briggs & Stratton engine starts second or third pull. Does a fantastic job on tough ground, but shook itself out of gear several times and shook so much the decorative shroud went flying!
Worked well for a year, then didn't – I've had the 572XP for nearly 2 years. I've used it mostly for milling with a 36" bar, so it has been worked hard, but only a modest number of hours.… Read more
Have looked after it well, 25:1 fuel, good quality oil, kept the chain sharp & well tuned, etc etc. It gave me a year of good service, starting well hot & cold, plenty of power for firewood cutting (although not really up to the task of milling hardwood - in hindsight I should have bought a 90cc saw).
Then it just gave up. Poor starting especially when hot, sometimes cutting out at high revs. Took it to the dealer for a service & firmware update, and have had it back to them three times in the past six months. Their mechanic has pulled it apart, tried everything but has no clue what the issue is. Sometimes I get lucky and it works OK, half the time it doesn't, I spend 30 minutes trying to start it and give up.
Would I buy another 572XP or recommend others to buy one? No I wouldn't. I know this is a familiar story with most chainsaw models - with any particular saw some people have a good experience & others don't. For a professional-grade, $2000 saw I'd expect many years of trouble-free service and unfortunately that's not what I got with the 572XP.

mower. I Decided to go with a reliable brand & also support i local business & bought a Husqvarna mower. I have had it a couple of months now & I love how it is easy to start just push controller to run & pull the cord no turning on the petrol tap, No priming of the fuel. The 4 blade system is good as well cuts better than the victa that only had 2 blade. It also much quieter than the Victa. It easy to push & seem to mow the lawn quicker than before. So far no complaints with it.
TERRIBLE battery life! – Anyone considering this purchase needs to know how TERRIBLE the battery life is! I tested every line trimmer I could before deciding on the Aspire,… Read more
which had by all accounts, good reviews. I wanted something lightweight and with decent battery life. I made sure to fully charge the battery before my first use, but I was very confused when it died after a short time (about 20mins I thought). I thought maybe I hadn't actually charged it all the way, so charged it fully again and used it for a second time while timing it on my phone. It lasted just over 16 minutes before running out! I jumped on live chat with Husqvarna customer service and was told the battery life was meant to be 25mins (?! still poor in my opinion), but depended on many factors such as what type of line is used—I am using all the components as they came out of the box. It looks like I will now have to invest in a second, very expensive battery just to get through trimming around portions of my tiny 350sqm garden! I am NOT happy with my purchase at all!
Further to the above, while I am waiting for any response from customer service who have so far not… Read more
HUSQVARNA CHAIN SAW 445-E11 IT REALLY SUITS ME – After giving me great service, my old Husqvarna 365 got wrecked when the electrode broke off its spark plug. Repairs were far too expensive. Being… Read more
somewhat older now, I followed recommendations to go for a lighter weight model, so decided on the Husqvarna 445-E11 with a weight of 5.1 kg compared to the 365’s 6.0kg. The price at Goulpro in Goulburn was competitive at $999 inclusive of carry case (about $100 value).
The power output at 2.8/9000 (K/rpm) is a bit less than the 365 had at 3.4/9300. It’s a little slower at sawing through logs and thick branches but I still cut through logs almost as thick as with the old 365 by attacking the thicker logs from various sides. The lighter weight makes it a bit easier for me to use.
I feel the single chain tension adjusting nut on the 445-E11 is not as good as the 2 nuts on the 365. It seems more fiddley and at times the chain becomes loose soon after adjusting it.
The cap for the bar oil is a tad awkward to open due to being placed almost under the brake handle making it awkward to easily unscrew it. The 445-E11 is easy to start with the bubble being pressed several times (I do it 8 times), and with the switch in the up position, it takes only 3 pulls to get that initial cough, move it down to the ½ way and another 2 or 3 pulls and it starts. The off position is easy to move it to – just a quick push down. I do wonder about the long-term strength of the plastic switch and hope that at some stage it doesn’t break.
In the 5 months I’ve had it, I’ve sawn numerous fallen dead trees and branches, felled dead trees and am currently felling and sawing up a number of live ones to create a more open canopy to the west of our house. The 445-E11 rips through these live, green trunks so it keeps me very happy indeed!
In regard to noise and safety, it’s a typical chain saw with which one should use all recommended safety equipment and take care in using it.
Pros: a weight easily handled, runs well, cuts reasonable sized timber suitable for slow combustion oven and slow combustion heater, competitive price. Cons: not so good on thicker tree trunks.
I'll stick with Husqvarna and certainly recommend the Husqvarna 445-E11. I'd like to give it 4.5 stars.
Pis: using it to to saw logs
Really nice unit, though not terrific value for money – Very strong flow for an electric pressure washer. Quite a big step up in build quality, pressure and features compared with the cheap Karcher units… Read more
that Bunnings sell.
There are some really nice features, such as being able to rotate the nozzels and wands to the right angle - not something that's possible with the Karcher I used to have.
Easy to assemble - just 3 or 4 minutes was all it took. Not too loud, I don't ever use hearing protection when using it.
The price is a bit high but it's not a rip off. Only minor issue is that sometimes if you give it a very short pull on the trigger, the engine will not get started properly but will stay turned on but "locked", which I would expect would damage the engine if left for long. Just pressing the trigger again fixes it.
Great saw, reliable, 8 years of keeping the house with heat – Bought new nearly a decade ago. Never let me down. Religiously sharpen the chain, and it's outcut other folk and their saws two to one. Great on… Read more
fuel. Accelerates and Cuts fast. 20" bar. Never let me down on startup regardless of it being 3 deg or 33 deg C. This alone is worth the $ in time saed.

on, the machine is supposed to be in standby mode, but it oscillates until I pull the trigger and the pump activates. When the trigger is released, it oscillates again, and after a short time, it stops working. On 26 March 2025, I emailed customer.service@husqvarna.com.au but have not received a response from them yet. Therefore, I emailed them again today and attached a video of the symptoms. Their customer service boasts that they will answer within 24-48 hours. NB. I wash our two cars once per month, in total 56 times. It's not very good considering the purchase price! I will keep you all updated over time.
Update: 19/05/2025
After contacting a distributor to source replacement parts for the PW 360, it took them more than a week to get a response from Husqvarna regarding the parts enquiry. I concluded that Husqvarna’s pressure washer division has deplorable Customer Service, so I decided to take my business elsewhere!
NB. I realised that Husqvarna’s pressure washer division established a reputation for poor Customer Service.

Worst purchase of my life – This tool is for the bin, biggest regret buying the k970. Purchased brand new from Sydney tools and it caught fire cutting concrete after barely… Read more
being used.
Got it independently accessed at a location provided to me by Tamara @ Husqvarna in order to put a warranty claim through. They determined it was a faulty clutch bearing that seized up which then subsequently caused the fire. Husqvarna then contacted the independent assessor trying to convince them it was operator error, the independent assessor confirmed the issue was the faulty clutch bearing by getting a second mechanic to take a look (second mechanic was from another shop).
Husqvarna still not willing to accept fault and having to go to VCAT now to get anything moving.
Stay away from this hunk of junk and even Sydney tools as a retailer all colluding together to avoid repair / replacement / refund.
Excellent time save – I installed my new AM550 EPOS fully satellite guided robot mower about 4 months ago at a commercial venue. Stats show it has done over 700 hours of… Read more
mowing and over 1500km. It is mowing around 5000m2 with ease. This is probably the best mower I've ever owned because it is totally automated. Grass always looks neatly mowed and I have it set to mow in lines. No issues other than losing a couple of blades when it hit an irrigation box. Also, lost satellite contact a couple of times but mower automatically reconnected and continued as usual. I would highly recommend this product. Absolute time saver for me.
The ‘Under-the-Radar’ Heavyweight Pros: * Genuine petrol-level torque and suction Heavy-duty steel deck with stacked dual-blades 3-in-1… Read more
included (catcher, mulch plug, and side-discharge) – no extra "Husky tax"
Dual-battery bay with auto-switch
Cons: * Confusing "40V MAX" marketing
It's heavy (but that's the trade-off for the steel deck)
Don't let the "40V MAX" stickers fool you—that's just Yank-speak for their high-torque gear. Under the hood, this is a standard 36V machine that runs perfectly on your existing Aussie Husqvarna batteries (it absolutely hums on a pair of BLi300s).
If you’re wondering why you can't find this beast on the main Husqvarna Aussie website, it's because it's a special import from their US "MAX" line. They slip it straight into Elite Dealers and places like Total Tools to go head-to-head with the big red and green battery brands in the prosumer space, leaving the standard plastic mowers for the regular local dealerships.
If you’re tossing up between this and the standard residential models, the difference is night and day. This thing is built like a tank. It runs a stacked dual-blade setup, which means it actually has the lift and suction to mulch thick, wet grass without bogging down or leaving clumps everywhere.
The biggest bonus? Husqvarna usually taxes you for every little extra, but this actually comes fully loaded right out of the box—catcher, mulch plug, AND the side-discharge chute are all included. It's got a dual-battery bay with auto-switch, so you aren't stopping mid-job to swap packs, and it folds up to stand vertically in the ute or shed. If you want petrol-level torque with RWD self-propulsion on a battery platform, this is an absolute ripper of a machine.
Works well but has its perks – I purchased this sprayer after purchasing a cheap look alike which did not perform and I had to fight to get my money back despite their glowing… Read more
satisfaction and refund policy on their website. In appearance it does not look all that different from the cheap one, so buy the cheap one at your risk if you wish. Bad Points: Like the cheapie, and mounted in the same position the on/off with is almost impossible to reach if you mount the tank high on your back. Like the cheapie of the same (bad?)design, it will not pump out the last 150ml of spray. Like the cheapie it has the same coarse filter in the tank fill opening which is good for filtering leaves but not much else. They should have a nylon mesh filter for the cost of this unit. It is very expensive compared to the cheapie and, with some of the same cheapie design faults! Other than it works very well the good points of the Husqvarna are: Removable (and replaceable) 18 volt battery' Excellent charge durability. I get 5 to 7 full sprays out of one charge. Very comfortable harness for carrying that 20kg on your back. The tank has moulded fill (litre) graduations on the side. Comes with three types of tips for different spraying patterns. One tip offers variable pattern by twisting its nozzle. None kinking delivery hose. Metal stand for easy and stable filling. Good sealing tank top and tank angled slightly to the rear so any overflows on filling drain to the back rather than over the harness.
