Grass cutte
Straight forward to assemble. Cuts just right. I am impressed with the machine.
In the immortal words of Sean connery as James bond Little Nellie performed well
I previously had a manual push mower and just wanted something that could do the job quicker. As not got too much time to spend mowing the lawn anymore.
I works well on my bumpy lawn and collects way more grass than my manual mower did. Only used it a few times so far but I’m happy with the results.
It was a bit of a pain putting it together and folding the handle down can be a little awkward.
As long as you are not expecting an immaculate lawn and can accept that there will be some grass that isn’t collected in the hopper then it will be fine.
Well where shall I start with praising this marvellous mower. It is so easy to assemble, just like the contents of a Kinder Egg and as such a child could put this together.
The lawn looks like green velvet after lightly pushing it all over the garden. It is very easy to empty and an utter joy to use!!

Didn’t realise how rubbish my old one was. This one is so easy to use. It’s light, glides really well and cuts the grass brilliantly. I didn’t have to use my Strimmer afterwards either.
My only problem was maneuvering it to put away after use. Can’t push on concrete and a bit bulky to lift. Just got my partner to do it.
Its a lot less bother with a hove
Mowing the lawn is boring ,this mower doesn’t make the task any more so. Result.
Pleased with the produc
Would like to have known I needed to buy some spacers.
Limited height adjustme
As with all Flymo’s this is easy to use but height setting is limited 12mm-32mm, but for me the biggest problem is cleaning the machine. Lots of places for grass to accumulate and get trapped, making cleaning awkward.
Harder to use than my previous mowe
When mowing the rear of the mower tends to drop and requires greater effort to push, not enough air at rear to keep it off the ground.Very disappointed with new machine.
So pleased
I couldn’t start the petrol mower my ex had left me with and the months went by so I thought I’d give this a try. The grass was thigh high, it was more like a field. This little machine was amazing. I had to go back and forth a couple of times on each patch but it cut it low and collected it all, something the petrol one never did. It took me a couple of days to finish the patch but I now keep on top of it and it only takes a couple of hours and the grass is all collected and fits in one wheelie bin. The worst thing is it’s plastic which flexes and breaks. It lasted 2 years and the bottom section which is held on by metal split pins has broken but I can order a replacement which I will do. I don’t imagine most people would be buying a little electric mower on the type of ground I have so I can’t see why anyone wouldn’t be happy with it. It’s a little heavy to push up a bumpy bank but I would definitely recommend and buy again.

Had to return the first one because it was faulty but Amazon replaced it immediately. Easy to use and lightweight- it sorted my overgrown garden in no time
Flymo Glider Compact 330AX Electric Hover Collect Lawn Mower - 1700W, 33cm Cutting Width, 2
This Flymo is an exellent buy, I really do recommend it, one is able to get really close to the edges.
Small grass bi
Nice mower but small bin . I hve an average size lawn and need to empty it more than the old flymo , grass collection isnt bad but could be better.
A good buy
Does what it claims. Cost effective and works well on uneven surface too
Go for i
Great little mowe
I purchased this mower as a replacement for my worn out flymo which had done great service for about 10 years. My garden is small to medium with a couple of lawns.
The mower is a lot lighter that my previous model but cuts the lawn beautifully, even leaving a stripped pattern which my other mower never did. Cuts through grass 150 mm high with no trouble and cleans up really well. Reviews I saw said the mower did not suck up well, but that is rubbish. This is not a Hoover, but a lawn mower! It sucks up 90% of the cuttings which I think is excellent. A great buy
Grea
It is very easy to set up and go and it is the lightest Flymo I have had.
Functional lawnmowe
Heavier than our last flymo so a bit of an effort to haul it up steps. Otherwise OK.
Best lawn mower eve
I’ve had a few lawn mowers in my time but this one is superb. It’s so easy to use and cuts the grass so eve
Mowe
This is easy to use, has a good cut .picks up really well as well
Flymo mower.
Happy with this Flymo model.It is a step up from my previous one.It is easy to use, manoeuvrable and easily stored.
Nice mowe
Nice mower although dont think easiest to clean and cut mybe could be closer.Little pricey.
It does what it says on the ti
Does a good job of mowing the lawn, with improvements on my older model. Would have liked the cable to have been longer.
Not bad but not built to las
I’ve used Flymo mowers for 40 years and with out fail every reiteration gets more flimsy and disposable. They all hover and this one is no better or worse then any other and it makes for light work on uneven lawns, they all cut the grass but this 330 model doesn’t even manage to fulfil the job of storing the cable in a simple loop. It does not pick up the cutting, the suction shoot is to far from the surface.
It feel and looks like the absolute minimum investment in long-term use out of any warranty.
I do not think I would buy another unless things change. Real shame
Flymo lawn mowers are ideal for all to use.
Had a similar machine before. Ideal for lawn like mine. Lightweight and manoeuvrable. Does a great job
An easy mowe
Functional easy to use mower, light enough for anyone to use
Another good Flymo lawnmower.
Very good mower but a bit of a faff to clean after use. Would recommend though as I’ve always used Flymo products. This performs well in a large garden.
Very good value and service
I like my order very much good value and service now I can cut my grass
does the job
eeded a new one this is just right ,nice price .
Suitable for my garden which only has a slight slope.
Easy to use on my lawn which has a slight slope. If the ground was anymore uneven I think it would be a challenge for this machine. Great at compacting and collecting grass. Happy with my purchase but it is quite a small/medium area.

Compact and ideal for small law
Only used once and as the grass was long it was a bit heavy going.
I think in the summer when it is drier and the grass is a more manageable length,
it will be fine

Suits our need
Bought as a spare mower for a quick cut. Suited our needs and happy with the product. Height adjustment is easy too so pleased with that. It arrived on time so no problems with delivery.

Does what it states on the box
Only used it a few times so far, therefore my experience and possible recommendation is limited, however I am pleased with the purchase.
Easy to use
Good all round easy to use but if you need to take the blade off unless you already have the spanned that you use it get you may have problems

New Hover Mower Required.
Bought as our 4th Flymo over the last 25 years, our last one being 330 turbo, This model is very streamlined and looks very good, the collection system is far better than the previous model and being mostly see thro’ easy to manage the cuttings. The added addition of height adjustment seems to be an advantage over the manual adjust by taking off the blade (with the tool provided) However on first cut it left the grass far to long and full adjustment for the lowest cut, it was still leaving the grass longer than the previous model. It would appear that it can be lowered further but as there is no tools provided, instructions advise visiting a Flymo dealer! So a little disappointing. Lighter and easier to move about.
Flymo glider compact.
The mower is quite light to use. It compacts the grass tightly and is quite easy to use.
usability
Machine made of very light weight material does not look very durable.
Connection lead should be longer
Grass gets up into machine.
Cuts well.
Ease of use
Really good replacement lawnmower. Glides effortlessly and does a good job at cutting. Lawn looks almost professional now! Would recommend.
Arrived 2 days from ordering. Easy to fit up ready to go. Have used many flymos over last 50 years
Gardening large area so a little small but made it easier to use
Excellent glide and cu
Bought for son who has a large uneven grass back garden. Was lightweight and easy to use, cutting quickly
and efficiently
Good lawn mower does the job
Good price easier to push than some lawn mowers quite robust.
worst mower I have ever had in 50 years of using mowers
cut not short enough, no more adjustment. Scatters grass on borders and path, only picks up a fraction of cut grass. Should have returned this earlier, doesn’t seem to be a choice to return now, very disappointed with this mower. I will have to buy a different mower and scrap this one.

Value for money
Perfect, just as described, so easy to use on my large uneven law

Ideal mower for our garden. Does a very tidy job, collecting as it goes.
Nice
Nice mower bit on the heavy side for me but i do have back problem…plenty of lead on it….
folds small for a powerful mowe
arrived today, so quick delivery which was needed as old lawn mower stop working Saturday, took less then 5 mins to put together, reading all instructions so have used to finish lawns, cut longish grass easy and neatly, easy to bush off, fold and hang up were old mower did. a great product at a good price
Excellent hover mover for the price.
I replaced my old Flymo VC350 because of burnt out motor.
I found this Flymo Glider Compact 330AX to be very good.
The slightly narrower blade (330mm) compared with the 350mm on the VC350 is not noticeable.
The VC350 had an excellent cable storage system.
Unfortunately, the Compact 330AX has no such facility.
You have to wrap the cable in the usual manner.
Very pleased with this mower, no complaints at all. We only have a small garden and it does a good job. However, I have been unable to register the guarantee with Domestic & General so I could not give 5 stars all round. I tried many times over two days to register on line only to be told over and over again to come back later. I sent an email to their customer services giving them all the details I was asked for on the online registration and asked if they could complete for me . But No, that could not be done, and I can’t imagine why ? I was told to ring them. I was on the phone, five minutes choosing options and listening to the spiel, only to be thwarted yet again at the last hurdle and was told my called could not be answered. I do not like to be beaten so I have sent another email to customer services asking what they think my next move should be. It hardly inspires confidence.
Update : 27 July 2020 Still trying to register the guarantee !
An upgrade on previous models
I brought this as its very easy to use lightweight mower and it does the job.It performed exceptionally well on its first few outings but i shall reserve final judgement once having completed two years moving as all the electric mowers tend not to last too far behind this point. Fingers crossed on this model which has been very good so fa
Good cu
Gives a really good cut but the grass collection wasn’t great.
Fairly good
I brought this model because of its low cutting hight.
Straightforward to use and manoeuvre.
Only 2 issues?
Dosnt collect the grass as well as others and a lot of grass builds up between the motor and grass collector.
Good Powerful Easy to use Mower.
Good powerful mower. Bought in replacement for a 25 year old flymo and was pleased with the results. Comes semi assembled with just a handle and cable to attach. Easy to set ride height with the turn of a switch on the front. Good powerful motor enables a smooth glide across the grass. Even my 70 year old mum had a quick go and was able to push it around.
Easy to turn on a penny rather than fighting with a fixed wheel mower. Good sized grass box fairly easy to lift out. Not made with the strongest gage of plastic so careful use over time with the grass box and cover is the key. Good looking design and fairly light to lift. Only two minor grumbles. The handle could be a little taller and the cable needs to be a little bit longer. That aside a great mower for an average size garden. Would recommend this mower to anyone looking for a straightforward easy to use mowe
A Relatively Smooth Operato
First thing I should say before continuing with this review is that I did not buy this from Amazon! In fact my mother-in-law donated it to me because it was a bit too big & cumbersome for her particular small lawn (on a slope as well, just to compound things for her)
My lawn was freshly laid in November 2019, and after many months of mixed weather I decided it really did need a good clean first cut. My lawn is only about 5x15m, and on flat ground, so I was hoping for an easy time with this mower.
I had to use an extension lead, and I also put the cut setting at high given that the grass was quite long. But I didn’t want to risk a low cut in case the blade sliced & diced the turf.
Once powered up it was quite easy to flick around, even one-handed. It’s not quite so graceful as Flymos of old, but the relatively quiet engine was certainly up to the job of making short work of the long grass. Yes, the collection box is quite small, which meant about 9 trips to the compost bin for me. But that’s just a small-beer complaint. The final finish, however, was quite excellent, with no cuts or furrows at all.
I gave it a good hard brushing before packing it away in its box. On closer inspection the gap where the blade is located can get jammed with compacted grass, so it was important to gouge all that out (after unplugging of course).
It is a bit heavy to carry around, so if you’re wrists, fingers, arms are not particularly strong you may find this cumbersome to handle. But all-in-all it did a fine job with my lawn; and since it didn’t cost me anything I am really pleased with the end result.
Not a bad mower.
I have only used this mower once but it definitely done the job which was to mow a lawn for the first time this year. The grass was about a foot long and quite dry and it done a good job. The grass box did need to be emptied quite a few times as it is not huge. The instruction manual is a bit rubbish but there are videos on the net that show you all you need to know. You can’t swing this machine from side to side which is what I remember about Flymo’s from the past you push it in straight lines.
Light weight and cuts well.
very light and cuts well even long grass,it has an easy lift off box on top.however the box is not sturdy as are the handle connectors and i fear they may break in time.

No idea what people are complaining about
My garden is huge and this tamed the beast!
Quality product.
Really good lawnmower. It can be difficult to maneuver if you try to make a sweeping arc. Much easier to move yourself to reposition. The lawnmower itself is really light weight and the cutting box does a great job of picking up the cuttings and compacting them. Very easy to assemble.
Glides, mows, not loud eithe
Arrived just as described. You had to add the handle and two another pieces yourself which was easily done. Mower cut grass evenly with ease. Emptying the grass cutting container was not heavy and the big handle was a bonus. My garden is sloping and has holes (badger problems) but this mower coped well. Would recommend.

Slightly dissappointed
Always bought flymos this one isn’t as easy to manouevour as others iv had but does the job I think the grass box is rather flimsy too
Great mower :)
I have no idea on DIY and I was able to put this together just fine. Great mower, easy to handle. Real improvement on my last mower, thanks 🙂
Ok, but I prefer my old mower.
Not as manoeuverable as I’d like, the grass collector could be bigger so you don’t have to empty it as much. Good value but I prefer my old traditional petrol mower.

Very good, but....
Mower is a great improvement on my previous Flymo except for one quite important factor. The cable is not long enough. I considered the cable on my previous Flymo to be the bare minimum. This one is about 2.5 metres shorter which means I have to use an extension to cover my (not large) front grass.

New model Flymo lawnmowe
New flymo lawnmower really well priced from Amazon, does the job
Okish
Ok but not as good a finish as my cylinder mower.
No good with wet or long grass but reasonable given the price.
I’ve been using Flymo mowers for years. I’m not a keen gardener so I’m not fussy about the finish as long as the grass is kept short. Like my previous Flymos this is a lightweight, cheaply made item. But I think given the price I’m not expecting it to be top quality. These type of mowers usually last me around 5 years before they burn out and I suspect this one will be no different.
As with my previous Flymos you get a decent length of power cable which reaches all parts of my lawn although my lawn isn’t huge. There are spacers and a spanner included to adjust the cut height. It’s very simple to do this, just make sure you have the mains cable disconnected before doing this.
On dry grass that isn’t too long this works fine but if the grass is more than 4″ – 5″ or wet then it’s a struggle. I generally keep my grass reasonably short and try to cut only on dry days as it takes at least twice as long on wet grass due to clogging. I don’t think that’s unreasonable considering this mowers price point.
Overall, a good mower for the price.
Easy to use
Very easy to use even my 7 year old grandson can use it. Good size grass box. My only criticism is the cutting length even on the lowest level my grass needs cutting again weekly which with the British weather is not always possible. Previous Flymo models I have owned have allowed me to mow 2 to 3 weeks.

The first thing to say about this mower is it is very well designed ,we loved the see through section and the cut height adjuster on the top front of the unit makes it very easy to change the cut height.
The unit itself isn’t a flymo that you can swing from side to side ,it floats on a cushion of air but it really isnt as manoverable as smaller mowers flymo make, that said this one moved front to back coped easily with my long, damp and uneven lawn and cut without leaving any rough patches and pick up the cut grass almost entirely .You will find you need a bit of space to store it away after folding the handle.
On the whole for less mobility you are getting a far better cut and I like that it has a blade rather than the usual plastic cutters that I haver had before.
The handle has a good height for me at 6ft tall and a good cord length
Assembles easily- it is pretty ready for use. I like Flymo’s – I know some people don’t and prefer the more traditional roller mowers, but they are so easy and make mowing the lawn a quick job rather than a chore. This particular model offers 4 cutting heights which allows you to cope with even quite long grass, and it has a window that allows you to see when the grass collection bucket is getting full. It sucks up grass after it is cut and I would say it is about 90% effective, which is pretty good for a mower like this. When you want to empty it the container just pulls up from the mower and then can be emptied into your composter or wheelie bin.
Like all Flymo’s it floats on air like a hovercraft and glides along the lawn, but this one has a fairly powerful motor (at 1700W) and a really need cable carrier at one side. The handles also folds for storage and to carry the mower with.
This is an easy to use mower and is ideal for those who want to spend the least time doing the job or also for older people who maybe don’t have the physical ability to push a heavy mower. It is a dream to push and delivers a really
good cut – maybe without stripes on the lawn, but it certainly delivers!
For a busy guy like me who gets no joy out of mowing the lawn, this is a godsend and I thoroughly recommend it to you too!
