Flymo EasiGlide 360 Hover Collect Lawn Mower - 1800W Motor, 36cm Cutting Width, 26 Litre Grass Box, Folds Flat, 10m Cable Length, Orange and Grey

My lawn is larger than average with some areas of quite steep slopes. I had been using a petrol mower for many years but this summer it gave up. After doing some research I found a like for like replacement motor mower would cost me around £450-£500, well outside my budget. However I noticed the Flymo got several good reviews & priced at just over £100 I thought I would chance it.And am I glad I did.Flymo are known for being decent quality & this model is driven by a powerful electric motor. It tackles everything I ask it to, even when grass has got quite long.It glides over the steep slopes with ease, whereas my motor mower kicked up & slid off line making cutting these areas very hard work.Having a power cord is inconvenient for sure, but it comes with a very long lead attached & together with an extension lead I didn't find it a problem at all. Just be careful not to cut through the cable, it happens!!The only fault I have with this model is the grass box container needs a window so you can check how full it is. A minor quibble but one easily solved by having a transparent lid. Down to production costs I suppose.Assembly is very easy, couple of fittings to attach the handle & away you go. I've seen some reviews which criticize the need to fit spacers to the blade attachment to adjust the cutting height. This is a very easy process, I don't see that as a problem at all. Also the spanner required to do this comes supplied with the mower as well.Having a largish lawn I opted for the 36cm width model, but for those with smaller areas the 30 or 33cms width will be more than adequate for the job.I attached 2 of the 3 spacers provided to lower the blade. This gives a very good low cut, leaving a nice tidy finish to the lawn.All in all a very good quality product at a very good price.Lightweight & easy to use.I highly recommned it.

This was bought to replace my old Vision Compact 350 and seems to be a direct modern equivalent, therefore I’m in a position to tell you exactly what has changed.Firstly it is a lot lighter, and I mean half the weight of the older model. This has advantages, for one it’s a lot easier to manoeuvre, and it hovers better. It also cuts closer to the edge of the mower. The drawbacks are that the build quality and strength are massively lower. Secondly there is no back to the mower at all. The grass box itself forms the back of the mower. This makes it difficult to carry the mower, and more fiddly to position the grass box when you place it back on the mower after emptying it.The cord is not as long and is built into the mower. Why they do this now is anyone’s guess because if you inadvertently run over the cable you have to buy a whole new mower.It has no window in the top to see if it is full, no loss to me as it was useless anyway.I’ve used it once so far and it was pleasant to use because, as mentioned, the lower weight meant it hovered well. It gave a very neat and close cut with two of the blade lowering disks fitted (three would be an extremely close cut- or scalping) and collected the grass very well. If you have very tall grass or uneven lawns then it won’t hover as well.For me if it doesn’t break or crack in use, then the flimsy plastic is worth putting up with for the reduced effort of using the new one, and only time will tell in that one.

Good piece of kit does what it says on the label, small, compact and lightweight. The only issue I have is that the cord is a few meters shorter than I need, so I have to use an extension lead. Only 2 - 3 more meters would have made it perfect length.

Absolutely great for slightly uneven garden and leaves a fanstatic finish and works effortlessly.I've had lawnmowers costing 3x as much and this works just as good.

Cheap thin plastic rubbish mower . I used this straight out the box after assembly. It’s cutting grass to 2inches long . I tried to remove the bolt to get the packers on to lower the cut without success. The bolt is on rock solid tight . The hover is non existent it’s more drag than hover . The grass box is useless because of the design the grass covers the motor air intake under the box. I bought this flymo because the last one I had lasted around 20 years and was robust but I think this might last about 20 months if I’m lucky .

I bought this to replace my old machine which finally gave up the ghost after about 15 years! The first thing I noticed were some of the issues in other reviews. The tightness of the nut that has to be unscrewed to fit the spacers is challenging to say the least. However a quick spray with WD40 solved the problem. It took me about 20 minutes to unpack and assemble the mower. Like some others I was surprised that the pins holding the handle to the body of the mower were plastic, time will tell if they work as well as the older metal ones! Of course the business and of this product is the cut which is very good. Personally I was surprised by how much of a difference the change from the old 33cm cut to the 36cm cut was. Mowing was much quicker and the bigger grass box really helps. Compared to my old machine this is a real improvement. Cord length is always an annoying issue, but as the extension used on my old machine still works it isn't a problem. You might have to factor in the cost of the extension if this is a new machine. One last advantage of the new machine is how easy it is to wind the cable back onto the handle brackets. Good price, swift delivery, easy to get up and running, great cut - what's not to like?
