I bought this as I thought it would be easier to use than my heavier, wheeled model. It is indeed better — although it still requires some effort. It was easy to assemble. The grass collection box is fairly compact and fills pretty quickly, but it’s simple to empty. Overall I think it good for the price and probably better for smaller lawns.

Good quality mower. Lightweight and easy to handle. Ideal for the smaller garden and cuts the grass well. Adjustable cutting heights are very useful. Easy to assemble, but the instructions are a little confusing. The diagrams are very poor, but are adequate if you have had a Flymo previously.

It cuts the grass has a few height adjustment bolts and works well. The grass collector is small which if you mow regularly shouldn’t be a problem, but if you have a large lawn or like me leave it a little too long between cuttings, you have to empty it so many times it just makes it annoying.

The cutting height adjustment for this mower is achieved by unbolting the blade and putting in spacer rings. The spindle bolt would simply not budge on the first one I received, so I returned the mower for a replacement. The replacement arrived the following day, the bolt moved, and with some help from some Flymo videos online I set it up and put in the spacer rings for its lowest cutting height. Well there’s a positive. However, after 11 months of struggling with this mower all I can say is: The mower works, of a fashion. It collects very little grass. It barely hovers and is difficult to push. Even with all the spacers in the cutting height is too high. It struggles to cut tougher, coarser grass, which has now become prevalent across my lawn as a consequence of its failure to cut properly and its inadequate grass collection.
It’s still got a month left of its warranty, but enough’s enough. It’s the worst lawn mower I’ve had in 50 years, by a country mile. I couldn’t in all conscience sell it cheaply or even give it away, so that’s it, it’s off to the tip. Unless, like me, you want to struggle with this mower for months and ruin your lawn in the process, avoid like the plague.

Excellent mower lightweight ,value for money. Easy to assemble. Bolt very tight on the blade but after using some.wd40 I was able to unscrew to put the spacers on. Grass box on the small side but doesn’t affect the performance of the mower. Perfect for smaller gardens I would recommend

Leider hat der Flymo keinen deutschen Stecker. Was nun?
