My wife found much easier to use than our lawnmower on wheels.
Efficient and does a good cut. Grass box easy to empty. Reasonable price for such a good mower.
Undecided whether to replace with a wheeled version. I think the hover function just isn’t quite strong enough.
I only have a small patch of somewhat uneven grass so this is perfect for that. The first couple of times I used it the handles did keep coming off in the middle of mowing but for some reason have now stopped. I find it picks up pretty much all the grass but does blow some of it around. It cuts well and is easy to clean. For the price though I am very happy and it was easy to put together on arrival.
Read some reviews and a 2019 garden magazine recommended it. Found some odd negative reviews. Mostly down to customers who don’t follow the instructions.
Mower is quieter than the previous, collects less grass, but is easier to put in compost bin. All metal blade, British design, goes up slope of 20 degrees, light weight, cut is good for moss/grass. Downsides the small collection box and the grass pick up grabs the lawn when pulling back
2 year warranty, put together in minutes, bought at Amazon deal price.
Did exactly what it said on the packet. Good buy
good vale the grass box fills up compacts the grass down nicely easy to move light easy to store.
Really good and very light to use. My garden holds the water and can be difficult to cut at times. This lawnmower was brilliant and so easy to use. Very happy with this produc
This lawn mower looks great is of high quality design and engineering, lightweight and so easy to use and makes light work of cutting the grass. Brilliant.
Easy to assemble. Mower comes on the highest cut setting so if you need shorter grass then apply the spacers supplied, instructions and tools supplied. Very pleased with it, did an expert job of the lawn, would recommend.
Depends on size of lawn. Basket emptied a dozen times, but was on first cut.
Overall it’s ok,but the grass collection could be better.the collection spout needs to be nearer the ground as in earlier models of flymo so more grass is collected.it’s not good to leave cut grass on a lawn.scarify your lawn at the end of a season and then see what gets collected.easy to manoeuvre although the blades will dig in the lawn a bit if it’s uneven in places.
Suitable for small gardens and is very lightweigt.
As I have a smaller garden now, and because my large old flymo was getting old, I decided to downsize to one of these. It is light and does a decent cut, but for some reason it is not as manouverable. It picks up the grass okay. The grass box needs emptying quite frequently. It is a pretty cheap mower and it does the job okay.
I was a little hesitant about the reviews saying it left grass cuttings everywhere but it’s not that bad. The air intake that collects the grass is on the back right so you just have to adjust your mowing style to collect all the grass. Yes a little more effort but that’s why it’s priced that low. I agree with reviews saying that it struggles a little on uneven ground but of course you have to expect that from a hover mower.
It takes seconds to fold down the handle and stow the cable away so makes life easy when storing away. The grass collection basket is ok in size and for my small lawns I only have to empty it twice. Adjusting the height of the blade is done in a minute using the tool they provide you and gives a reasonable range in cutting height. I would definitely recommend giving the underside and front of the mower a good clean after every use as it does get blocked up quickly but expected for a small mower.
Assembly was very simple too with clear instructions and took maybe 5 minutes.
1. Easy to put up husband did it on his own in five minutes.
2.Cut the grass quick and easy, we have a medium sized garden, took about an hour to cut.
3.Has a grass collecting box build to it which is very helpful to keep things not too messy, I didn’t need to buy any other tools this alone did the whole job.
4.light enough for a small framed woman like me to use, I needed a rest or two in between because of my back issue but not too bad at all, I need to rest with my Dyson V7 as well if that gives any indication(slightly heavier than a dyson vacuum but feels to me similar pull strength on the back)
5.power cord is slightly short for us but no big deal as we have some extension cords at hand.
6. Not too noisy, I personally find it pretty Low noise, again similar to a vacuum.
7. Didn’t leave the garden messy as I was worried about it. I did the job in my PJs without any protecting clothing and didn’t end up getting grass all over myself.
Overall this is exactly what I imagined when I ordered it, fuss free, easy to use, ticks every box and works as it should do. This is my very first time using a lawn mower and I’m glad I got this one. I am not an experienced gardener so don’t know if this would be good enough for someone has higher expectations than me, but if you are like me researching on lawn mowers because of Covid-19 and you don’t want to risk having people in your house. I would recommend this one.
