Our verdict on each
B&Q
B&Q suits readers who want one home store covering furniture, beds, kitchen, lighting, decor and garden in the UK. Sofas start at £129.95, returns run 90 days and delivery takes 1 to 5 weeks, with price match and finance at checkout.
Husqvarna
Husqvarna suits households, estates and grounds staff who want mowers and garden tools from a single maker rather than a specialist line. Entry pricing of £760 for a robot mower is the figure to weigh, alongside a warranty of 1 to 2 years that leaves cover thinner than the category it competes in.

Who each suits
B&Q
Who it suits
- Readers who want furniture, kitchen, lighting, decor and garden in one basket
- UK buyers who shop on 90 days of returns and price match rather than on a trial
- Shoppers who want a local store for click and collect
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers after a sleep trial, since there is no in home trial
- Furniture specialists such as Pottery Barn, whose store categories include bedding
- Home office buyers who only want seating, where buerostuhl24 Bürostühle und Büromöbel is narrower to that need
Husqvarna
Who it suits
- Households and estates that want mowing and wider garden tools from a single established brand.
- Owners of larger or sloped lawns who need capacity of 4,800 m² and slope handling of 50%.
- Buyers who value a phone line alongside self service, since help runs on help centre and phone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers on a tight budget for small hand tools, who can find cheaper shears and tools at Fuxtec from €6.90.
- Shoppers who want the widest garden catalogue, who can find a comparable spread at Toolineo with robot mower, lawn mower and trimmer.
- Mower only buyers who do not want a tool line, since Exmark lists just lawn mower, ride on mower and robot mower.

Questions about each
B&Q
How long do I have to return a sofa or a rug?+
B&Q accepts returns for 90 days, which is generous next to the site median of 30. That window applies across the ranges it sells, so a large piece can be sent back within the same limit as a smaller item. Returns are the main route for judging a sofa, since there is no in home trial.
What does delivery cost and how long does it take?+
Delivery takes 1 to 5 weeks. Free delivery is not standard here, but it kicks in once your basket reaches £100 to £500. The fastest end of that window lines up with the site median of 0, so collecting in person is the quicker route when a deadline is tight.
Husqvarna
How much do Husqvarna machines start at?+
The UK range opens at £760 for a robot mower, and that is the entry figure rather than a promotional price. On our data Husqvarna sits at 18 of 20 brands on price from, so shoppers with a fixed budget should compare a few listings before settling. Larger machines and ride-on mowers cost more than that starting point.
How large a lawn will a Husqvarna robot mower handle?+
The machine rated highest in the range covers 4,800 m² of lawn and handles slopes of 50%. That places Husqvarna at 6 of 14 brands on maximum area in our data. Small gardens sit well inside that ceiling, so the same range covers larger plots as well.
