Poor quality, non-existent warranty repair service
- $700 Black and Decker 2 hp pool pump failed after one year.
- Warranty is 3 years; repair partner is non-responsive and asks $160 for shipping.
purchased a $700.00 Black and Decker 2 hp variable speed in ground pool pump that failed after one year of service. The unit has a 3 year warranty.
The outsourced company that B&D uses, (CS@***L PARTS TO GO.COM), is horrible. Non responsive and almost impossible to reach. They expect me to incur $160.00 shipping costs to get my defective pump to their chosen repair shop on the east coast.
Absolutely unreasonable. This company is pathetic.
User's recommendation: DO NOT BUY BLACK AND DECKER!

Verified ReviewerVery good service and explained in a way that I could understand. Problem resolved very quickly!
- I started at the wrong dept, but the agent guided me to air conditioning.
- He gave the air conditioning number in case I got cut off, and I wasn't.
I got to the wrong department at first, but that was my fault. I looked the number up myself.
That person was also very polite and helpful and got me to the right department (air conditioning) with the number just in case I got cut off when he transferred me (didnt get cut off). I was pleased with the entire experience!
Complaint about last two 3 roll packages of weed eater string cartridges. They are 100 yards of string each but because the string is sticking to its self, it breaks and I have to stop and reload the.
- String sticks, breaks, and needs reloading.
- 3-pack spools at Lowe's now $28.48 for 3x100 yd auto-feed, up from $18.
The string sticks to itself breaks and I have to reload the string. All three rolls were doing this in first package.
So I bought a new pack of 3 cartridges at a higher price at Lowes. I thought maybe they were old but the second pack of three spools were worse than the last three. Used to cost $18 for 3 spools are now $28.48 for 3 100 yd of auto feed spools. And they are almost worthless.
Ive had this B&D weed eater for years.
Its actually my second one of same model. I love it but cannot tolerate stopping and fixing the spool wasting time and string.
User's recommendation: Don’t buy it. I would like to be reimbursed for the last package of 3

Verified ReviewerTERRIBLE
- No record of request #81473 or #1236.
- Mina refused supervisor and last name.
- Escalation #1236**** closed; no contact.
bought 20.3 in. 1.7 cu.
ft. 6-Cycle Portable Top Load Electric Washing Machine. employee mina said there is no request #81473 in existence. said there is no request #1236****.
she said there is no such dept to fix washer, refused to give me her supervisor. mina refused to give me her last name to file a complaint. escalation #1236**** was closed with no one ever from the email service@***q***.com contacting beyond in 96 hours. no one one ever contacted me about a faulty adpater and hose for washer or even knew how to measure it.
i will never buy from this company again. mina claims she will get back to me and never did. claims she cant make any promises of when they can contact me. said there is no trouble shooting dept.
claims i never sent any photos and was lying constantly. I HAVE SCREENSHOTS THAT I SPOKE TO ANOTHER EMPLOYEE AND MY CASE EXISTS!!! disgusting service!! I paid OVER $400 for this washer and enployees cant even call me or contact me??
i had to dig into their website to find a number to contact since none of these requests were ever responded to but sadly her advice didnt help. The dimensions in mm means that i cant find any adapter in the USA in inches that fits. i went to home depot and they cant even help me, even a plumber could not assist me.hose is pathetically short and adapater cant fit any of my faucets company knows American customers cant get this to work in America!!! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
they closed the case without ever contacting me. A JOKE.

Verified ReviewerFaulty product
- Plastic part broke on July purchase.
- Same part broke on a one-month-old unit.
- Amazon won't accept a return after 30 days; insurance did nothing.
The plastic part broke on the one I purchased in July and the same thing broke on the one month old and amazon will not let me return after 30 days. I have spent hours and hours trying to get someone to stand behind it. I purchased the extra insurance and still got nothing!@!!

I took several photos of my pole saw that was given as a safety award back in 2015, along with 2 other BD tools. I'm waiting on a response to see if the photos helped them determine what model it is.
- All the b&d items i have purchased are are still working like new for the last 10 years
Preferred solution: Just a response if they could determine the model purchased Back in 2016

Verified ReviewerNo charger?
- Battery included, but charger is not.
- Box does not clearly explain charger inclusion.
- The issue is discovered only after bringing it home.
I bought a Black and Decker 20V blower model LSW221. They give you a battery but no charger.
What good is a product without including a charger?
This is crazy; it is not plainly explained on the box. But when you get it home, you'll find out.
- Good company
- Sell a battery operated product with no charger
- Bad marketing
Preferred solution: Full refund

Verified ReviewerDefect on new power stack batteries
- Upgraded to the bigger power stack; oscillator died.
- Battery won't work in other tools.
- Older tools with XR battery survived drops without damage.
I upgraded to the new, bigger power stack, and my oscillator saw died. The battery won't work in my other tools.
I love my Dewalts, but I have had one small battery go bad. It just fell, and this time I don't know what happened.
There's a short issue if there's a bump, so it's hard to honestly get the performance they are capable of. I've dropped my older ones many times with the XR battery, but it never messed up the tool or battery.
- Xr by far is the faster reliable nice grip durable by far the best
- You need ro have quality control or tech see why the new lower stacks can be drop or ran hard
Preferred solution: My awesome tool back there 2024 I want the xr battery If can if not I'll take another power stack 20v 5ah my oscillating multi tool is 3 speed xr dcs356 ty2 20v I'd DNHQN11
My iron is not repaired since last 2 months
- Service center is a fraud; after-sales is SRM Enterprise.
- They promise repairs but never show up.
- Tickets issued but calls go unanswered.
This company service center is itself a fraud.
They have given their after sales service to SRM Enterprise which is also looks like a fraud one. They commit you to come and do the repairs but intentionally gives you the wrong time and never comes.
I have a iron steam press which has not been repaired since last 2 months and even now also the technician is not ready to come they only issued me a tivket no. BND250********. 971668**** & +91 6364 *** *02 are the numbers of their service center but no one answers the calls.
Will request not to buy amy product from this company. Instead go with bajaj, philips, morphy richards etc atleast they give after sales service on time and resolves the issue in just 3-4 days.
User's recommendation: Never buy this product if you want good service after sales

Verified ReviewerTo cancel an order
- Difficult to contact them after placing an online order, with no responses.
- They require you to wait for item delivery to start a refund.
I am still waiting for a resolution, but it is difficult to get in touch with them. Once you place an order online, there is no way to get a response from them.
As for cancellation, forget about it! I have already spent several days trying to contact them, and the only answer I received was, 'wait until you receive the item and then start the refund process.' They give you the runaround, and I am afraid that I might get stuck with the item!
- Fast delivery
- Customer service was terrible
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: I order a cordless screwdriver, but with120 minutes I realized that it is not what I want, iit is almost a week and instead of canceling my order they sent it !Now I am trying to get a refund, although the way they operate it might be hard to reach a definitive answer .

Verified ReviewerWrong parts delivered
- Paid May 2; wrong item received and charged.
- On May 10, box arrived with a discharge chute instead of 2 front wheels and a replacement blade.
Waiting on my bank to finish their investigation
B&D took out the money out of my account almost as soon as the order was placed. That was May 2. I received a box on May 10 containing a discharge chute. I had ordered 2 front wheels and a replacement blade.
I called on Friday, May 10 in the afternoon and after giving the info to a rep, was disconnected. U never called back. I called again and after being on hold for 17 minutes (at 4:08 CST)was hung up on and told to call back Monday by a recording.
Today I called at 7:40 am CST to hopefully avoid the rush and after being on hold for 39 minutes got a chance to talk to Crystal. She took my info and put me on hold so she could re-place the order.
When she came back on I was told that some of the parts I needed were on back order. I told her to cancel and issue a refund. She told me I would have to talk to "Tier 2" in order to get a refund. That was at 8:33 am CST.
I sat on hold (now I'm curious as to just how screwed up this is) and at 11:32 am CST ... after being on the phone for 3 hours and 50 minutes ... wait for it!...got disconnected again.
I had avoided contacting cub cadet at the web site as I know a chatbot is not going to authorize a refund. Besides, there was no reply window available when I did try to chat with the cub cadet bot.
This is theft ...
at the very least, of my time.
In excess of 5 hours spent on hold. I want my money returned and I will buy a new mower from an entity that doesn't torture their customers.
