I gather the latest update resulted in missing lawnmowers, pool cleaners and roof sweepers. I had nearly gone mad with the runaround trying to find a way to contact support to see if there is a fix, but there is no way to reach a human support person, clearly by deliberate design.
It's not a glitch, ea is a trash company and now yoy have to watch an ad for them. I * hate EA
Yeah I just watched a video about it, it sucks.

As a previously free option that was until now available in the game, I am deeply disappointed by EA’s decision to implement a new update that requires players to watch advertisements in order to have back lawnmowers; pool cleaners or roof cleaners in the game. This is an unnecessary and intrusive addition that detracts from the overall gaming experience.
It is concerning that EA is prioritizing profit over providing a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience. The inclusion of this feature in a game like Plants vs. Zombies, which is already part of a successful franchise, raises questions about the company’s priorities.
As a loyal fan to classic Plants Vs Zombies game which i’ve personally played since it was released, I urge EA to reconsider its decision and prioritise the well-being of its players. It is essential for the company to remember that its actions have a significant impact on its reputation and the trust of its customers.

Here’s a somewhat realistic scenario told in the first person perspective.
It was school lunchtime. I was letting my girlfriend play Plants Vs Zombies FREE on my iPhone 13 Pro. She complains that she’s already missing some lawnmowers despite just planting a few Peashooters. I thought nothing of it since I am quite a great player with a knack for intricate knowledge. I said “I think you’re just a bit slow” in a joking manner, thinking a couple of Zombies already got to her mowers. I continued to let her play until lunch was over. A week into this endeavor, I receive a text from her saying she’s breaking up with me because the way I joke is too harsh for her. I was emotionally unstable and went to channel my energy through video games. I played Plants Vs Zombies FREE as the second game of choice. There was something I noticed immediately on Day 4 of my new playthrough: I had been missing a lawnmower on lanes 2 and 3. I was questioning why this happened. I restarted, this time it was lanes 1 and 5. Something wasn’t adding up. So I looked it up on the version history, NO MENTIONS of lawnmower revocation. I searched Safari, no answers. No, just kidding, there were plenty of answers. I saw the first link was a Reddit post complaining about this issue. I then learned that it was an intentional change. I was furious and devastated, but then I realized that my ex wasn’t lying to me. She really was missing lawnmowers, which never happened before until that one time. Now I feel really bad, but at the same time still furious AT EA because they decided to remove a core game mechanic, making only three lawn mowers, pool cleaners, or roof cleaners appear at a time. The rest are pay to win. And that’s why I don’t play Plants Vs Zombies FREE anymore. I may even be derived from the franchise because of this one mistake they made.
Now all of this didn’t happen (I think). I came up with this scenario, but it’s realistic enough to be a reality. Not exactly the whole girlfriend thing, but I wanted to try a new approach at storytelling because I know I won’t get a girlfriend. And I love it that way! But the point of the matter is that EA made a very poor decision on one of the most iconic games, similar to Rovio’s removal of all the Angry Birds knockoffs and even the base game itself!
