I've had a Husqvarna Rose for a little over 5 years and I like it very much. My husband bought it for me in Florida, thinking I would have at least 2 years to get lessons etc before we retired. I got one lesson and that was it. We sold and moved. The closest dealer is about 1 1/2 hours away but they did help me when two of the option buttons wouldn't work. I wish I knew how to use all the different attachments, and computer programs that it has.
