Like other reviewers I found the mower easy to get to work straight out of the box with no assembly save for folding the handle back into position. It cuts well although the grass box isn’t huge and needed emptying three times (I have a small garden). My biggest criticism is the noise it’s much louder than any mower I have ever owned and I can only imagine that it will only get louder as it wears out. I’m not sure if I would buy this particular model again.
This mower is lighter and seems less durable because of the thinner, less rigid plastic used in part of the construction but this is subjective. I am confident that Flymo will not have risked their reputation and will have carried out reasonable testing. The most obvious redesign is that the lid above the grass box now hinges forward and thus eliminates the irritating possibility of a disfunctional owner jamming the lid in the the folded handle.How would this happen? Well as some owners have complained, there is no cable tidy. I wind the cable hand to elbow and then store the majority of it in the grass box. If the lid is then opened to retrieve the cable before the handle is unfolded ….’D…, I’ve done it again!! The cable is slightly longer than before but why would it need to be longer still? Much easier to run over if there is plenty of slack cable lying around!
I only add an extension cable when my mowing reaches the top end of the lawn.
Grass cuttings blowing everywhere? Far less if the mower is pushed straight ahead. Whilst it can be used by swaying it side to side …more fun! The grass box is designed to take in the grass cuttings from a forward motion …look at the box yourself. Does not cut the grass short enough? Straight out of the box with only one spacer already in place, the setting is only useful for cutting the lawn when returning from a two week holiday. Add one extra spacer and the cut is good enough for the majority of British utilitarian lawns. Add three spacers and the lawn may look initially more manicured but it is weakened enough to have trouble in dry conditions without watering. Need your grass shorter still??Without much additional care weeds and moss problems will follow and you really need a more finely tuneable mower. Overall I was happy enough to order a near identical replacement mower to the one I previously owned. There have been a few improvements to this 300G but it’s main virtues are still intact
.I am currently very pleased with this purchase. Fit for purpose if you follow the instructions. (pic; after one cut with my new 300G fitted with two spacers) No link to Flymo or Amazon!
I have a medium size garden and the power cable is long enough for my needs.
Those who have said that the cable is not long enough must have massive gardens so no surprise that they need to use an extension lead.
With regard to the grass blowing out from under the mower, yes this does happen if the grass is very long. With first use (if the lawn is very long)it’s better to cut the lawn 2-3 times using the spacers for the blade. Once this has been done it picks up more grass. I find the collection box does a good job compacting the grass. My lawn was quite long and it only required 2 bags for emptying which I was surprised at due to the initial length of the grass.
The hoover function is absolutely brilliant, the use of the main motor to use the cyclone effect and funnel it into the ground to pick up what has been cut is so simple but so ingenious! In the future, id like to see these without wheels and just floating on the ground using the plastic rim but until then It’s still going strong!
Arrived and bought it on the back of the reviews here. Was using it within minutes and it did a decent job on a really bumpy lawn. I thought it was a bit plasticy and weak in terms of body and constrcution – and also bulky. Ive a small lawn, you might fit a big car on it – thats about it. So maybe a strimmer from the same brand would have been better. Cant fail the product though. Delighted to be able to cut the damn lawn.
Good little mower, no problem with it but the amazon product heading says its a 1400w. It’s not it’s only 1300w as per the flymo description.Had I seen this I’d have paid the extra fiver for the next model up.
Cuts the lawn well and generally hovers up the grass into a small bale that we can empty quite easily.
It can be a but iffy on the edges of the lawn where it meets the patio. I end up usually cutting the part with a pair of sheers. Its not what it was designed for anyway. Also as it reaches the edges grass can be blown all over the shop. Again, a typical behaviour of these hover type mowers.
Its not perfect but does what we need of it.

Does the job very well. The bucket is a bit small for my liking but overall a good purchase.
Arrived on time. Easy to use, clean and store. A great improvement on the first Flymo I had about twenty years ago and a great relief from the frustration of a stubborn 2-stroke rotary mower i have now abandoned.
Arrived quickly and was exactly what I expected. Useful light mower. The cable is a bit short though and only just stretches to the end of the back lawn. As it is not separate, I can’t just use a longer one.
A good performer, if a little flimsy. The key to keeping the hover capability is to keep it free of any cut grass build up on the vents under the collection basket. Doesn’t like slopes, great on the flat.
Bought this exact model 7 years ago and it had a lot of stick over that time. In the end the safety switch broke so gave that to a competent guy to fix and keep and bought a new one. If this lasts 7 years its great value for money.
Very east to set up, works great although if the grass is at all a longer then be prepared for grass to blow everywhere. I have put down a new lawn and needed to let it grow a little before first cut so was slightly messy. Have cut again the other night and far better now. Easy to clean as well and cord is a good length.
This was a replacement purchase for a similar twenty year flymo. It works as expected. My only criticism is (that to save money?), unlike the older model there is no way to unplug the cable at the flymo end so that it can be plugged into other flymo products such as a strimmer. This also makes storage of the cable messier.
The lawnmower is very light and cuts very well. It is a bit noisy which I have found surprising. The bin is possibly a bit small
This mower is very powerful and gives a good cut. Unfortunately, like most mowers, the cable tends to twist and kink. That said, I fully recommend this particular mower.
Works alright but, in my opinion, the ‘plastic’ blade that I do not believe I can sharpen, does not cut as well as the metal blade I had on the old machine.
Easy to use, move and carry. Great at collecting the cuttings. Is easy to control on slopes and is not fazed by uneven ground. Changing cut heights is a fiddly procedure; if you need to change heights frequently you may get fed up with having to play with a spanner and spacers. However if, like me, you stock too one setting, this new is perfec
This mower cuts quite well and makes a good job of picking up the clippings. I have to say that it is not as ‘easy a glide’ as my previous Flymo (which did not have wheels or grass collection) as it feels quite a bit heavier.
it cuts grass with the greatest of ease, well at least thats what I am told from the son in law, whom it was bought for
now he doesn’t need to borrow mine! – hurrah
It literally lifts out the box, flick the handle up and ready to go. Lightweight to carry (feels a little plastically rather than the older solid style ones – but thats how you get it so light weight)
I found the grass basket filled up pretty quick, but i was fighting a jungle so it is likely going to be easier next time. It has x2 roller wheels under the front lip for when you touch the ground on hill edges which is a nice touch.
All in so far (early days) I would buy it again given the decision.
Pleased with this purchase but as previous reviews state grass cuttings do get blown about. However this is not a huge problem for me as I have only got a small patio area. Since the mower is light and easy to use I can live with this problem.
Why only 4*? Because the machine is clearly designed for small immaculately kept lawns and the rigours of my grass takes its toll on the joint between the base and the upper section of curved grey plastic which leads to the handle. Result: rattles and eventually severe vibration. Since there appear to be no fixings to tighten the end result is ‘buy another one’
…and in another six years I shall, again!
Very efficient, suprisingly light and easy to use. Prefers a very flat lawn as any reasonable bumps will ground out the mower as it only hovers a tiny bit. Great for the money though.
Strongly recommended.
Purchase as a light mower for front lawn, it does the job and is so easy to move that my 9 year old son now mows the the front lawn. In this case it really has halved the workload
O’K’ for the patch of lawn that I have ‘cepting the electric chord wasn’t long enough, had to add an extention lead.
This machine replaced my original 300 flymo which was 14 years old. This one should see me out. Reliable & easy to use.
Last year I deserted Flymo whose lawnmowers I’d used for decades and purchased a petrol driven rotary mower. To begin with I was besotted with the superior finish on my lawns, not quite but almost like bowling greens. Then disillusion began to set in, it was heavy and unwieldy and didn’t like even slightly damp grass that if combined with longish grass, yeah I can be lazy, proved almost impossible. The faff with oil and petrol was a pain and it was pull cord start which though usually reliable could be frustrating hard work on occasions. What’s worse is that my wife who actually enjoys (!?) cutting lawns said it was too heavy for her and it was now up to me!
Last week (early March) my neighbour cut his lawns and I knew I would soon have to do mine, the weather was against me – we had a spell of fine weather so I had no excuse. I simply couldn’t face the petrol mower especially on the first cut of the year so ordered a Flymo similar to the ones I always used to have.
Welcome back Flymo!
It’s ready to go straight out of the box though I did adjust the cutting height to it’s minimum first, 5 minutes with the supplied spanner and spacers. Plugged it in and off I went. It is light and easy to maneuver and the grass collecting box does a good job and seems not to need emptying too often. The finish of the lawn is good and looks attractive but not as closely cropped as I achieved with the rotary mower so I (or my wife) will have to cut lawns more often. There is a downside, I’d forgotten what a pain the power cord can be always where you don’t want it to be and with a magnetic attraction to wrapping around my legs, I suppose I’ll relearn the techniques to avoid this as I go along. That aside I am delighted to welcome Flymo back. My brother in law wants the petrol one as his mower is on it’s last legs so it will go, free to a good home. Btw my previous Flymo also went free to a good home, my daughters and is still working and is at least 7 years old.
This does the job in my small garden and is lightweight enough to carry through to the front garden. Reasonably priced. Hope with care it will last a few years.
very easy to use but probably should have done a bit more research as grass collector / basket is tiny, our garden it about 10m x 10m and have to empty the basket a lot before the lawn is fully mow
Bought this as a replacement for a broken Qualcast hover mower. Ready to go right out the box it’s light and nice and easy to use, the easy fold handle is good too when storing it away. Haven’t found any negatives with it.
We only have a very small lawn to opted for this mower. It’s fine, but just wish the collector worked a little better. However I do believe that this is the best on the market of Hover mowers at the moment.
I brought this mower for my family who use it more than me. They like it at lot, the mower is easy to clean and because it’s compact we can store in a unit in the garden. Overall in terms of performance it feels more powerful than a lighter mower that we bought many years ago but you’d expect that with the higher price.
I’m not sure there’s much else you can say about a mower after only a couple of months, it’s in 2/3 years that you find out the main things, durability etc.
But giving 4 stars because for 5 stars it’d need to last a few years. I will come back and amend the rating if it’s still going strong in 2019.
Fast & speedy delivery, ordered on a Saturday, received on the Tuesday can not ask for any quicker response. Mower was a replacement for a previous Flymo which had served me well for over 9 years, This one is much lighter (weight wise) and a lot more easily moved around and stored, if it lasts as long as the last one I’ll be more than pleased.
Lightweight and compact. Very easy to use. Folds away for easy storage. The downsides to all that of course is that the flymo doesnt hold a lot of grass cuttings. I found i had to empty the grass cuttings box several times when mowing a lawn approx 7metres by 4 metres. But a small price to pay for a powerful machine.
Great little mower as expected, bought to replace an ageing flymo which died of the common flymo motor seizure. Basically the same as the old one with various cutting heights. I Set it at the lowest 1cm and it cut nice and neat and with ease. Annoyingly it has a filter surrounding just under the grass collection opening which always gathers dry cuttings so needs cleaning after each cut. Same goes for the underneath, some recesses cause clumps of grass to get lodged in them so you will need a small tool to clean it out. The rest of the underneath is easily cleaned and overall is well worth the money.
Idealeben 2 Packs Weatherproof Outdoor /… from Amazon to repair the lead. It’s hover tends to get worse as the grass box fills up, and the intake at the back right starts venting grass cuttings when full, makes it easy to know when to empty it. I put all spacers on it to get a close cut.
Heavier than my old one! Grass collection works up to a point but it sucks it through an opening at the rear left hand side of the mower only. Otherwise it mows my lawn!! Still going after 2 years!
It did the job, The problem I had was that it kept cutting out and filled very quickly, so maybe this is ideal for a small lawn, If you want it done and dusted quick.. its probably better to get the next size up.
I was looking for a cheap, lightweight, foldable lawnmower for my small back garden. I first saw this one on a lightening deal but didn’t buy it at that point. A couple of weeks later the price came right down so I was really pleased I had waited.
This lawnmower is ready to go straight out of the box which is great. All you have to do is plug it in and lift up the handle and it is ready to use. To get it started you have to press and hold the button and then squeeze the handle. You can then let go of the button. I really like that there is a handle on both sides to power it so it is good for both left and right handed people.
The grass box is easy to empty – it just pulls out goes straight back in – no breakable clips or hinges. To lower the handle you squeeze the 2 sides together and then fold it down. It can then be carried with the plastic bit at the bottom of the handle.
The only negative with this is that there is no cable storage system with this – it would be really useful to have something to wind the cord round for easy storage but that is a small negative for what is a really good, easy to use lawnmower.
The grass eventually grew to the point even the Mrs commented on it, and when that happens it means the lazy, reluctant husband (me) has to do something about it!
The way my brain works is I have to research everything to death before I make a decision on how/what/when I should part with my hard earned cash…well actually I don’t work that hard but in the interest of trying to make my self look good….anyway back to the review
I’d heard of flymo before – I didn’t grow up in a box with limited contact to the outside world – so after 8 days of careful deliberation I picked this flymo.
I was dubious about the hover function (come on this isn’t back to the future and I’m not Marty mcfly) but it actually works!
It doesn’t hover like said hover board but it does sort of glide across the grass. Easy to on and off and the cable is quite long.
The bin is really easy to empty as long as it’s not windy ( or you get grass all over you face And your son decides to start calling you captain grass beard)
It has 3 spacers which allow you to cut the grass to 3 lengths. You have to use the supplied spanner to remove or add the spacers. Easy enough.
Although it collects 80% of the grass it still spitss some out…which my research tells me is a good thing because you create mulch. A good thing. Look it up.
Would I buy this again? No because I already have one hahah! Kidding! I would if I had didn’t have one. For 60 this isn’t cheap or expensive so it fits right in with my buying habits.
I took some before and after pics as they speak a million words (or something like that) so I hope it helps you make a decision.
This was done with 1 spacer, which is the highest setting and leaves the grass long/tall.
Pros;
Reputable brand
Easy to operate
Kind of compact- when folded down but I have a garage to store it in so don’t have storage issues
Does a good job
Cons:
As the bin doesn’t have a window I have to stop every so often to check if it’s full
Bit of a pain to clean but all lawn mowers are (you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette)
Great little lawnmower for small to medium lawns. We can do both our small front and back gardens without having to empty it half way. Glides nicely and great value for money.
Has made cutting the lawn much MUCH easier, especially with the grass collection feature. Only thing that stops it having 5 stars is the lack of retractable cord
Lovely, light, easy to use after years of petrol mowers. I did cut through the cable on my second use but I’m used to it now! Doesn’t cut as quickly or cleanly as a petrol mower and a lot of the cuttings fly around still, but I’m very happy.
A previous report stated that the grass box has a large hole in it and that the grass falls out when the box is carried. Well, the ‘hole’ is the funnel that serves to suck the cuttings into the box and they do not fall out if it is carried by its handle.
Very much lighter than my last lawnmower, which is want I wanted. The grass cuttings box filled up very quickly though, a bit of a nuisance. Early days at the moment if I consider it cuts the lawn well, it did the job first time out, Will use the psacers next time to lower the blade and see how it cuts?
The mower just floats long, picking up the majority of what it cuts into a handy internal bin, which is so easy to lift out and empty.
The 10m of cable was just right for me, and the mower made very light work of what is a huge chore from my perspective.
For this low price (which was 20 less than the B&Q website) it is a 5 star buy!
The mower is easy to set up and use and I was up and running in no time. The cable is nice and long and the mower itself is light. It produces an even cut and the results were great. Highly recommended.
Cord was adequate length, no different to what I’d expected, I already had an extension lead so no problems there.
All in all, a good buy, recommened!
Excellent, light weight, was recommended to me by my by my gardener lady because I’m 84 and found my previous mower too heavy to push. Easy to empty the grass box. I give it four stars because as it is a hover mower you don’t get very defined stripes on the lawn.
Very good mower..light easy to use with plenty of power for a med size lawn,you do get the odd bit of grass from the side pod when box is nearly full but nothing to be to concerned about…Good price worth the money & fast delivery…
A nice light mower.
Only criticism is that I find myself emptying it a lot. The grass collector is quite small & it kicks a fair bit of grass to either side of the mower.
Other than that it does the job ok.
The metal blade is a vast improvement over the models with the plastic blades. However, with that said, it still takes quite a lot of passes to get all the grass evenly cut to the same level and tidy. Also, it’s not at all clear to me whether the metal blade can be sharpened, or whether it has to be replaced all together when it becomes dull (it’s new at time of this review). As for Pros: Long cord, folds up nicely and can be sat on end in the shed, and has metal cutting blade.
Lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, does a good job of cutting the grass. Doesn’t always pick up all the cut grass but this seems to be a problem with all mowers of this type. I’ve had lightweight mowers before that have been useless and other mowers that have been too heavy for me and too big for my small lawn. This one is perfect.
Cuts well, collects pretty much all of the cuttings, light easy to handle. The casing is all plastic, concerned how long it will last opening and closing the grass collection area.
It’s a compact, light and easily foldable lawn mower that could use a few more hundreds of watts – that is the impression if you let your grass grow a bit higher.
A good cost effective mower ideally suited to smaller gardens as the collection box fills quickly. I found the mower to be very easy to maneuver compared to wheeled competitors and is therefore easy to throw around. The lead is ideal for what I need but I think some may find it a little short so keep in mind an extension cord may be needed.
All in all, I think it represents good value for money and would recommend. Yes the materials are flimsy but seem to fit for purpose and it does need to be lightweight after all!
Overall very good. The bit that collects the grass isn’t very big so you have to empty it a lot if you have a decent size lawn but you can’t complain for the price. A good buy.
I was most pleasantly suprised! My grass had grown a little longer than usual, actually it was probably about 3 inches long ! But this mower breezed through this brilliantly.
I didn’t find it at all heavy as other reviewers had mentioned , I have a rather large garden with bumos and dips and it took me around 30 minutes to get through it all, I think it will take around 15 minutes next time as I haven’t got to get through the long grass!!.
The cable was plenty long enough for my front garden and of course being bright orange I couldn’t accidentally run over it 🙂 .
Like I said I got this mower at a bargain price, but I would definately buy this at full price!
I am delighted with my Flymo 330VX Hover Mower, so light and easy to operate and does an excellent job. I haven’t had to do any gardening for over 10 years, as I lived in a flat, so having moved to a bungalow with an average sized lawn I was a little apprehensive if this mower would do the job, but it does! Very pleased and would recommend this product as excellent value for the money.
On first use all seems well. Not great at picking up the cuttings but once Id lowered the blades by using a couple of spacers it did a great job on my law
An improvement on the previous model in a number of ways: Better grass box design; smoother finish to underside helps reduce grass adhering to mower; redesigned blade has longer cutting edge; effective lift (Easiglide appropriately named unless the grass box is full); quiet and smooth. Supplied ready to go and I believe the cable’s longer. Downsides: Still chucks out lumps of wet grass unless you regularly clean the underside but not as bad as the previous model; cost of spare blades (akin to cost of printer cartridges relative to the printer itself). Contact with one or two stones enough to chip the cutting edge sending the blade off balance. I have the feeling that prolonged use with a blade even slightly damaged could eventually cause bearing failure – I’m sure this was the cause of my last Flymo demise. Overall would purchase another as this type of mower is very effective on uneven wet lawns.
This is a great buy. Trims my garden to 3 different grades and is very easy to use. Would have given it 5 stars but only issue is that grass fills the compartment pretty quickly. I have to regularly empty it. Other than that, I would definitely recommend.
Happy enough with the product. Nice and light as anything heavy would cause me a problem (dodgy hip), cuts my lawns just fine and easy to adjust the height of the cut using the spacers provided. Competitively priced – this was the cheapest price I could find for this model having compared the market.
The handle was a bit stiff at first, you need to squeeze it in at the base or it won’t fold down. There’s nothing in the user guide that mentions this.
At first there was a flurry of grass flying in all directions but the grass was very long as I’d been away for over a week while it rained throughout. However, I find if you push & pull rather like a vacuuming motion, as you pull it towards you, the grass gets sucked up through the vent in the grass box. The lid does seem a bit flimsy but it only aids to the lightness of the machine.
All in all, I am delighted with my Flymo Easiglide, plenty of cable & easy to clean.
Very compact, great mower which is nice and light. i have a 5 m x 3 m garden and it does it in about 10 mins. Power cable is fixed, not detachable and it does make a little more noise than it probably shoul;d. Only minor downsides
Hover light weight mower. As someone with breathing difficulties I ordered mower for ease of use. I’d hoped it would have been a bit easier to manage and more lightweight. It does job but I have to do it in several breathless stages!
Please with the mower. The blade looks a little lighter than my old flymo, but seems to cut grass. I used to hand my old lawn mover up, this one folds in half, but I fit it on top of some large plastic storage box now in the shed.
Rather too plastic but hopeful it will last for 30 years like my other one. I will be over 90 then!
If this had a longer lead I would have given it five stars. Obviously intended only for people with small gardens. If you have a lot of lawn there is probably a better model for you by now. If not you should be fine with this.
its lightweight enough for me to lift it out of the cupboard in the porch – I bought it for the front lawn to save carrying my other one through the house!
it was almost a pleasure to mow the front garden – not so much a lawn as a field at the moment, all lumpy and bumpy – but looked good when I had completed the job.
couldn’t ask for more from a mower : )
Really pleased with it. It is light and easy to use. The handle moves for easy storage and it is easy to carry.
It does however seem rather flimsy, the power cable is rather short and fits directly into the handle rather than into a plug socket situated on the handle.
Bought recently and used it 3/4 times. Can’t fault it mechanically.
Bought this to replace a larger model that had finally given up. This one is much lighter and quieter, and gives a good cut to the grass. I read some reviews complaining about the handles breaking, but, as long as you squeeze the ‘right’ side in first, it folds down without too much of a fight. So far so good, and very happy with my purchase.
I found this mower to be very good value for money, only downsides are, having to empty the grass container so often as I have such a large garden and I’m not quite sure how to change the cutting length of the blade… But it’s very lightweight and comes ready to use straight out of the box. So over all I’m very pleased with it.
While it would be good to have a greater diameter cutting blade this machine does what it says on the box. It’s much lighter than the one I had before, it’s very easy to assemble and it cuts perfectly well even on my very uneven lawn. I have no regrets about buying it.
Usual splendid and efficient service from Amazon in terms of receipt and delivery of the mower. As for the product itself calling it an “Easiglide” is very appropriate…it takes very little effort, is extremely maneuverable and light when moving it about the lawn. I personally found the grass collection box very adequate in terms of holding capacity and is easy to remove and re-instate.Whilst not a problem so far,I find the handle mechanism for switching the motor on/off to be a little flimsy and doesn’t always fit snugly in alignment with the outer frame of the mower…a potential problem, I don’t know. I may just being a little picky.
All in all an excellent product for a small/medium lawn,much less effort than my old mower which in comparison was like a tank to push around.
light, compact, and neat, it only sprays the stuff around if you dont move the grass from the top of the blade (fomr the inside) when you empty otherwise it compacts ok. we have a big lawn, emptying 10 per fron/ back,, it started to stop picking up after about 20 empties and i though it must be faulty but when you empty the box just brush away the grass on the inside plastic grill that sits on top of the blades, it seems to allow th air to flow around and the suction gets good again, we have a vision compact but that blew up,, we though buy cheap and replace.. for 70 odd quid you cant go wrong.
