I was looking for a lighter hover mower. Having used this a few times I’m very pleased with it. I didn’t find it that easy to assemble but I did manage it on my own. There isn’t a grass collector and I would have liked a longer cable but it cuts well. Overall I’m pleased and would recommend it.
Overall cuts the grass great but let down by the handle. Tedious to assemble, cannot fold compactly without having to unscrew. Had to use pliers to secure the pins ( handle to mower). Even then vibrates extensively while mowing. Have had Flymo mowers previously but none had these problems.
Had one of these before, so went with what I know! good choice as it turns out, came the next day almost! works well and had gone down in price from the last time I bought one!!!!!
I love my new flymo it cuts the grass really well and love the way the cord has holders to wrap around . Can’t fold the handle down yet but know it can be folded .
This lawnmower cuts decent enough. Downside is awkward handle folding and also the hold in lever which keeps the lawnmower going nips your hand often if you don’t be careful. I managed to purchase this item on offer but would not pay the original selling price as there’s better out there.
My son assembled the first mower and it didn’t look too difficult. I did find it hard to collapse the mower for storage as, unlike my previous Flymo where the handles just needed to be pushed in, with this they have to be loosened too. That also meant something flew off when I put it away. I lost one of the black holders for the leads on first use so they can’t be that tightly fitted. It was extremely hard to remove the nut for when ready to add spacers – needed 4 hands in the end but I am very happy with the mower overall, cuts nicely and my garden is uneven in places.
My 4th Flymo mower in 25 years, I thought this would be ideal for my medium sized and quite flat lawns. It does the job but not as well as the previous models. It seems to be more of a push mower than a hover, the front rollers quickly jamming with loose grass. Cuts OK, the grass box has a good capacity and it cleans easily. Flymo quality but at this price you do get what you pay for. I would only recommended for small lawns.
Mower was easy enough to assemble, no extra tools etc required. Only gripe would be folding the handle in to its storage mode is very difficult as you need to physically “squeeze” the two sides to get the handle to fold over. As the handle is also long it is an awkward little process and I’ve not yet got the knack!!
Mower cuts fine and you get a good amount of electric cord.
I like that it is lightweight and easier to use than my previous Flymo.
It does a great job of cutting the grass, and the collection box collects most of the cuttings.
Putting it together wasn’t straightforward, however. The folding handle mechanism is awful, and the lid doesn’t fit properly over the collection box. The box itself also doesn’t seem to fit properly.
It does the job, just.
It’s called a hover mower, but it does nothing of the sort and requires far more force than I remember when using old Flymo models back in the 90s.
It’s plastic in every sense of the word and doesn’t really feel like it’ll last. The lid for the grass collection bin doesn’t secure, so flops around when moving or storing. The bin itself doesn’t clip in, and so is equally floppy.
On the positive-ish side, it does collect grass well but the extra weight of that grass adds to the lack of hovery-ness and makes things more difficult.
Not great, not (absolutely) terrible. 3.5, rounded up to 4 because it’s Friday.
This is not lightweight, i have a hard time getting it to fold up, not sure how long the plastic bolts will last so i best look for some nut and bolts to replace them. It is easy to use, glides over the lawn. Like most lawnmowers it doesn’t pick up all the grass. I am very happy with this. I hope the information helps others that are thinking of buying this. It’s also easy to set up and comes with instructions. It is not loud when turned on. It has a two way of storing the handle it can be folded flat or hang on the wall.
I was going to purchase a cordless mower but This one is more powerful and I don’t have to think about having to charge up the batteries when i want to mow. I don’t have to worry about the grass being too long as I know this mower will cope not if it is damp as this mower will cope. My lawn is about 50M 2 and this size mower is just right i can cut it in 15 mins . I might have to empty the box x2 at the most . it is also cheaper.
I had it for twenty years till it said goodnight and went to rest in the flymo graveyard.
This has a metal blade on it and you can set the depth to cut the grass on it, which makes a big difference. That said does it make the grass grow quicker , im not sure haha.
Ive used it once and it was fine cutting the grass, you can hear it catch stones etc but it just brushes them away.
All in all not bad, bit fiddly putting together but who likes putting things together via instructions in twenty different dialectics with the wind blowing in your garden.
8/10.
My only criticism is that the handle folding isn’t as easy as earlier models, perhaps because the mounting seems to have moved further back which seems to have changed the balance.
Cable winders a nice additio
Ive had these lawn mowers often, they are great. Easy to use and does an excellent job on my lumpy uneven lawn.
Disappointed that when I placed the order that it was 89.99 however I have been charged 104 which is quite annoying ! Free P&P so I feel I’ve been over charged
The cable is a nuisance when storing . I fitted a male and female flying socket and plug.
This model does not seem to float as well as some other models and is clumsy to carry
The downside, in my opinion, is the machine plastics are poorly made and do not fit very well together. The lid to the grass collecting box has a fairly large gap around it which causes the cuttings to fly everywhere except in the box. The box for the cuttings also doesn’t quite fit snuggly onto the top of the motor, which in turn let’s cuttings enter the motor! Therefore after each cut it means having to vacuum the grass cutting out of the machine as well around the paths etc.
This is really only a minor problem that may just be a one off and this is only my opinion. It’s still a better machine for the price opposed to others I’ve tried and worth the extra 10 minutes clean up after the job!
Flymo
Fairly easy to put together,
Overall feeling is ,it feels a little flimsy.
But you get what you pay for.
Good for small to small/medium lawns but would go for a petrol for large size lawns. Definitely recommend this one for more compact gardens.
As my wife only has partial use of one arm this machine is a lot easier to use than other mowers we have.
I like this lawn mover perfect for over grown garden
It is awkward having to change heights as you have to add washers
I’ve been using a mower with wheels and making more holes in the lawn than a golfer on a bad day. Had flymo before and Love this One, Its so easy to use and glides over the Lawn like a Dream.
Most complaints concern the change to a metal lower handle. The old moulded – on plastic lower handle could be used to carry the mower, but this one is much longer and so only you people over seven feet tall can now do that. Lucky you. The plastic snap- on bolts are really daft. Mine seem okay at. present but its obvious that the handle has a ‘wrenching’ effect and many of these will snap out as easily as they snap in (see photo). Like another reviewer I will replace mine with proper metal ones, but the plastic bracket supporting them also looks inadequate . The hooks for holding a stowed cable are much too close together and, anyway, if you stow the mower with the handle folded they cannot be used at all. However, just dump the cable in the grass box (photo). Why were the changes made ? Possibly to save money on new tooling for the major plastic moulding.
Its not all bad! I am getting very old and have to carry the mower to reach the front garden. Though now rather awkward to lift this is very light and very easy to manoeuvre on the grass in confined spaces. There is a good metal blade and it cuts well – though I need to use all three blade spacers. With no spacer there is no cut! The grass box simply slides in and out. The mower was very cheap to buy – I paid less than 90 which, frankly, is ridiculous value for money. I could have paid even less by buying the model without grassbox. Hovers are for mulching the grass, not collecting it. Despite all the criticism this will doubtless do the job and compared with my six year old (and still serviceable) ‘old’ wheeled mower it is a pleasure to use. Ideally I’d give this mower 3 1/2 stars, but I’m feeling generous today.
Our lawn is not that large so this was more than adequate size. On a much bigger lawn you might want something with a bigger grass box. It is a rough surface and the Easiglide copes with it well enough. This is the second of these I’ve had.
Very easy to assembly, very easy to fold for storage and powerful motor thus doing a great job

Good mower lightweight an easy to set up dose a decent job .
Pain to wrap cord around handle. Need to unscrew bolts to lower handle and the bolt is too short to leave in the mower once the handle is unscrewed. Silly design as this could have been so much easier as it is on other flymo where you squeeze the handlebar to fold and unfold.
I have not used it yet, waiting for the wheather to dry up a rough patch of ground with long grass
Well made mower have not tried it yet but sure it will be good
Unable at the moment to use the mower problem not until Spring 2022
This lightweight hover mower is easy to use . Highly recommended
Lighter and more powerful than my previous model, (which did well for 20+ years) so I’m delighted.
Typical hover mower of course, does take a bit of sweeping up afterwards, but much easier to use in my sloped back garden.
Had to replace our old flymo. This model is actually better as it has a wider cutting area.
This mower was bought as a spare to the petrol one we have so we have not used it yet….. However we had a Flymo before we moved which was really good it cut the grass great, cleaned easy and lightweight but it was only good for a smaller garden unfortunately..
Nothing to dislike – I have bought these for several years – the electrics do go eventually – but always go back to the same model….
POSITIVES: I have to admit, it cits the lawn like a dream. The mower hovers off the ground on a cushion of air and can be moved in all directions, side to side, forwards and backwards, and you get a very even cut. Hover mowers don’t grip into the ground ripping into the turf or soild and can be used to mow right over the edge without the mower ruining the neat lines! It is also lightweight and not as noisy as my previous mowers either.
DOWNSIDES: Because the mower sits above the ground, not all of the cuttings are collected. Cut grass gets blown all over the person mowing, any nearby paths or up any fencing or walls near to the lawn. The basket does collect some of the cuttings but my old mower needed emptying 4 times just for the back garden lawn but the hover mower only needed emptying once and even then it wasn’t full.
Mowing may be easier but the clean up afterwards isn’t and I wasn’t expecting to have to sweep up the paths and sweep down the fencing after mowing the lawn. Another negative is that the mower may be able to run over the edge of the lawn but it does not cut it. After mowing, I was left with a long fringe of grass around the lawns and had to manually cut around the lawn. This also added extra time onto the mowing task.
Very good flymo does the job well but rattly other than that very good machine with good power & sharp blades
Always had flymo. This one doesn’t cut as well as my last one but it’s good enough. Nice to see winders for the cable…..improvement to have a tidy place to store it.
Purchased for my mum of 78 to use, she is very pleased with it as it is light to use. We assembled together, which could of been done by the seller and folded flat into the box. Anyway was easy to assemble and flow away, very please with produc
What do I like? Well I like the cable is now held on the handle itself & the wheels look more sturdier & certainly help to move the mower along – I used it today and it gave a good cut.
What didn’t I like? I can no longer fold the handle as before & while the handle can be moved forward to hang the mower for storage I don’t have that luxury so I need to rethink my storage location.
I registered this Flymo online & received the additional 2nd year warranty. I could have had the 3rd year for 39 but decided against this.
What I also find annoying is that Amazon lump reviews for different models together, these reviews can give good information if they are all held together by product.
Hope you like the review
Used for 1st time this weekend. Glides nicely over lawn, nice cut & has a powerful motor.
We actually found this mower slightly heavier than our last one, but soon got used to it and the cut is brilliant.
I don’t like the fact that I’m unable to fold it up for storage as described on instructions. My old mower (the same make and model) was easier to store. Disappointing for that reason, otherwise satisfactory.
I have it a 5 star but for me it was a struggle getting it over the lawn. It was a bit heavy for me but for most people is is beneficial.
Bought this to replace an old one great lawnmower but what a hassle trying to fit the handles still have a bit that I can’t find where it goes.
A very good mower for a small lawn and an old ma
Would be useful to have small top panel clear to see how full the box is

This was a replacement for an earlier (same) model. It has a couple of refinements – the handle is fitted with hooks to wind on the cable & is designed to either fold down or hang up for storage. It was also provided with extra washers to lower the cut. However the higher cut as supplied is ideal for me, as I encourage wild flowers & have planted crocuses & narcissi in the lawn.
Good points – easy to use and stores away neatly.
Bad points – quite loud and doesn’t pick up all of the grass
Consider its meant fly on a cushion of air, your definitely gey a work out pushing it. Cuts ok though.

first use was ok but there was some vibration through the handle I have checked the blade looks ok but wonder if there is some imbalance with the blade it is put on correct anyone else had this would like some advice thankyou apart from that its a great lawn mower and cuts the grass fas
Replaced an ancient one which had cut its last blade of grass. Found it ideal on rather uneven lawns.

Really pleased with this mower . Nice and lightweight and effortless to use
it is advertised as a 12 inch cut so cannot complain about that, but it does a good job and easy to empty and keep clean . worth the 5 stars.
Having had a larger Flymo for years this doesn’t seem much smaller but feels a fair bit less powerful. The blade is more flimsy. It is however good for small spaces and I have perhaps asked a bit too much of it…
Easy to store in confined space.
Great mower lightweight and easy to handle and delighted with the lawn afterwards !
It is distintly heavier and less easy to manouvre than our last model, but that one did not have a grass box.
This is a great product with sturdy plastics and a built in grass box. Problem is that it is no longer as agile or light as the older (original?) Flymo models with this blade width. If you did a survey of what users would like added to a Flymo you’d probably get this design. Why not stick with the original market leading model – simple and light. Progress is not always positive.
I bought this to replace my old version of the same model. Slight differences in the design, but the motor seems quieter and more powerful – may be jus the old one was tired.
Easy to put together although folding the handle is trickier than the previous one.
Found my petrol mower getting heavier as I get older .. this flymo just hovers . I did sharpen the blade with blade sharpener from new making the cut very nice .. good job
Flymo great for small areas. Easy to use as I am a pensioner. Only comment would be the cord is too short so had to use extension lead which some people may not have to hand!

I am so happy with the hover mower, it will take no time at all to get the job done, many thanks.
Flymo EasiGlide 300 Hover Collect Lawn Mower was fairly straightforward to assemble from the box. It copes pretty well (with a short extension lead) on nearly 100 sq m of lawn. Particularly good where the border is level paving; not so easy where it drops down.
At last somewhere to stow the lead on garden equipment! With hooks to wind the lead around. Quite easy to assemble and use but a bit difficult to turn at each end of the garden – not a massive problem.
This is more upmarket than my last mower. Being left handed I like the dual control which my last mower didn’t have.
Ideal for medium sized lawns
I like this mower. My old flymo packed in after 5 years of use. It was only a 330 blade. This one is 360 and you can tell the difference. If you’ve got a big garden I recommend this one.
Replacement for a very old Flymo. This was very easy to assemble. the cable is rather short (compared with the old one) but apart from that it is easy to use, powerful, and cuts well. Having a grass collection box is a bonus after years of raking, although it make the mower more bulky to store.
There are cheaper brands out there but having used Flymo products for the last 30 years I know I will get a good quality and reliable product when I buy flymo. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do and does it well.
Easy to put together & cuts grass in no time.e. love it.
This machine is a replacement for the pre-existing EasiGlide 360, now some eight years old. The new machine is very similar to the old but crucially, the cut is more even and it takes less time and less effort to cut the smallish piece of lawn at the front of our house. Alas, it is not much quieter than the old machine but that apart, I am happy with it.
I bought this lawn mover a few days ago, easy to put together and light to use…Very happy with this item do recommend
Mt husband says that this Flymo Mower isn’t as good as the previous Model, which he had for several years, but that “it will do”
This is the best lawnmower I’ve owned.
My lawn is very bumpy and uneven and I find this glides over bumps and dips effortlessly. It’s a pleasure to use. Definitely recommend.
Have had Flymo previously, so pleased with the product performance. However on this model the handle arrangement makes it difficult to carry from place to place. My previous model had a carry handle but this one doesn,t.

Have never used one before – I have used and am pleased with it overall. The only gripe I have is the grass collection into the box – it’s not that effective.
Easy to use and push around the grass. Not so easy to fold down the handle though as you have to push both sides of the handle in at the same time to get it to fold for storage. Pretty much impossible to do on your own and took 2 of us – one on each side – to finally fold it. Once you can get it to fold it packs away neatly.
Lightweight lawnmower and cuts well, slightly scuffed upon arrival but not worth returning over. So far so good with cutting and it is light when pushing and can fold away saving space.
I’ve always had Flymo lawnmowers and this is as good as any of the previous ones. I also like that there is cord storage on the actual mower when not in use. My garden is small to medium size and this is perfect for it.
Light and easy to manoeuvre.It didn’t have 3 spacers needed(up to 3 allowed) for a close cut so I had to purchase some.Otherwise happy with the purchase.
