But they weren't selling you widgets, they were selling lawnmowers. In the widget case, consumer affairs would nail them.
If it came with no blades, then it's not a mower.
A few hundred watts (when the actual power output depends on altitude, humidity, temperature, fuel used etc. etc.) doesn't stop it being a lawnmower.
I just don't get people whingeing about how lawyers destroy society, then hop on board to get their little piece, perpetuating the problem.
Detroit have been giving false power outputs for 50 years...are they next ?
