Update: November 2024.
After two failed Flymo Easilife 500 I thought I would try the new Flymo Ultralife 800. Amazon didn’t allow a separate review on that as all the Flymo robots mowers are linked on one product pages. So here goes on the Flymo Ultralife 800.
Without a doubt, the most poorly produced and thought through product I have ever purchased.
Upon opening the box, the wheel area was very dirty and the battery was dead which is very unusual for modern day batteries to be drained when installed in a new product. The mower was placed on charge and started flashing light sequences that are not cover in the instructions. (The instructions appear to be a copy and paste of he Easilife GO instructions).
Connected the mower via the Flymo app via bluetooth and set up the wifi details. Straight away a message appeared stating ‘Downloading software update’ and on tapping a Download message can been seen. 5 hours later, there is no software update, the same message shows and the message won’t power off (which probably explains why the mower was delivered with a dead battery).
Then tried connecting to the Gardena hub and the mower showed in the app. A message in the Gardena app then stated that ‘Software update available: uploading’. Another part of the app states ‘Firmware Not Supported’ (even though the Gardena gateway is part of the product bundle. Click on that message and you are advised ‘Discontinued software’. An update is required to control the device via app.’
So the Flymo app shows software is being downloaded but on checking data flow between mower and internet, it reports 10k uploaded and 906 bytes downloaded so clearly no firmware is downloading. The Gardena app advises the mower is not supported.
In a bid to get the firmware updated, as per the instructions I followed the link to download the software to update the mower via the PC. Upon connecting the mower I got an error ‘Mower Not Supported” even though it is the only firmware upgrade software provided by Flymo.
Support articles in the app refer to buttons that don’t exist on the Flymo Ultralife 800 and as mentioned light sequences on the mower are not referenced in the manual.
So in conclusion it you want a very expensive dumb mower that as soon as it connects to the internet shows up software update error messages, discontinued software and not supported errors go ahead and buy the Flymo Ultralife 800. But be warned, the instructions, Gardena or Flymo app or Flymo support will not assist as from past experience Flymo took 18 days to respond with a canned response so hold out no hope in them sorting.
Overall a very disappointing product that looks like it has been thrown together with no regard for end user experience.

Update October 2024: After exactly 1 year the Easilife 500 mower failed and Amazon replaced it . The replacement lasted less than 2 months before it completely dies and wouldn’t power on. It was returned for a refund. ———————-
Original Review August 2023:
All parts needed for the install are provided, however the supplied cable was not quite long enough given you need to install the guide wire. Before buying, visit the Flymo site and review the installation instructions as this will show how the guide wire works and you can then work out total wire requirements for the boundary and guide wire. 150m comes with the Easilife GO 500. Works well as programmed and once set up goes off every day to do the cutting. Couple of points – the bluetooth range is c. 6m max and if the mower stops for any reason you need to be within range to see what the faults are. The mowing deck and wheels will get clogged up leaves and grass cuttings over time so will need a regular hose down. Interestingly the manual doesn’t mention about hosing down, but the box shows a picture hosing off so can be done. Overall a great buy. I did email tech support who tool 3 weeks to get back to me, so this was the only disappointing element.

This is a review of the Easilife Go 150
I’m writing this review a week after purchase (7th April 2022) and will update at regular intervals.
First thing to note is that there is no real difference in new Easilife Go 150 / 250 / 500 range of lawnmowers. The only difference is the length of boundary wire and pegs you are given. My garden is around 100m squared and the amount of boundary wire provided by the Easilife Go 150 was more than enough. This was an impulse buy for me after receiving a notification on my Amazon app. I had been looking for a new lawnmower but hadn’t considered a robotic lawnmower as I was under the impression they didn’t really work properly. However, after reading the reviews and looking up reviews on YouTube I was convinced that they work well and that the price at the time was a cheap as they ever have been on a deal (I paid £372.99 for the 150 model, the 500 model was available for £409.99).
Set Up
After reading the reviews I expected the set up to me much more difficult and time consuming than it was. I have a relatively simple rectangular shape garden and I managed the set up in under an hour. It is much easier to follow the official Flymo set up video on YouTube (just search for it) than to follow the instructions provided. I am not a very practical person or a major DIYer but I managed it with ease. Also managed to connect it to my Android phone (Google Pixel 4a) with ease first time. By the way, you don’t need to use a phone app to for the lawnmower, it can be used standalone without the phone, it just makes life easier.
First Start I was a little perplexed at first that the lawnmower was sitting in it’s charging dock and not moving despite me telling it to start both manually on the lawnmower and on the phone app. However, when I moved it from the charging dock to the grass it started working. I later realised that it will not move from the charging dock at first until it reaches 100% charge. So if you wonder why it will not move from the charging dock on its first use, this will be why. It worked its way around the garden and found its way home to charge when the battery it went down to around 20%. Then it moved back out again when it was fully charged. I have set it to mow for 4 hours a day but I will adjust as time goes on. I expect it will only need to be on duty 3-4 times a week.
Cutting and Performance It did a very good job cutting the grass down. It makes very small cuts and does not collect the grass but leaves it on the lawn. I thought this would be an issue but it wasn’t. You don’t notice any of the cuttings on the lawn unless you look very closely. I have found that the cuttings have increased the quality of lawn already, as the cuttings naturally fertilises it. I started at the highest cutting height (3) and the reduced it to the middle cutting height (2) which is perfect for me. The advice is to gradually reduce the cutting height. I didn’t take any notice of this, and sure enough, I paid the price – it cut through a part of the boundary wire that was a little high. However, this was easily fixed (2 minute job) by using one of the spare electrical wire connectors provided. After this I also bought an extra pack of 20 wire connectors from Amazon for £7.99 for potential future use. Well worth an investment. Lot’s of people recommend burying the boundary wire when first setting it up, but if you do this it will be difficult to find any wire breaks in the early weeks when potential problems are likely to arise. As the weeks go by the wire will gradually sink into the lawn and get overgrown by grass anyway. I main problem is that people ignore the advice to put the boundary wire at least 10cm away from the edge in the hope of a closer cut of the edge of the grass, but if you have a weeds, clumps, dips or bumpy ground beyond the wire the lawnmower will lift or fall and in doing so change the angle of the cutting blades and potentially cut the boundary wire. I find that it edges the lawn perfectly with the boundary wire set 10cm away.
A Note on Changing the Cutting Height At first I just couldn’t work out how to change the cutting height and the advice on Amazon Questions seemed different from different people. A lot of people told me I just had to turn a knob that didn’t exist on my model. I have since discovered that there have been subtle changes to the models over the years. My current 150 model is the latest model and was released in February 2021. On these newer models you have to take the small top cover off (the black plastic bit, not the main orange cover) and there you will find a hex key. You then flip the mower on it’s back and unscrew the blade mechanism and place it back on the mower on a different setting that is outlined. Easy when you know how but this took me ages to work out.
Neighbour’s and Dog’s Best Friend A big bonus is that it is very very quiet, unbelievably quiet. You will be able to set it off to cut the grass at any time without disturbing the neighbours. Indeed it is very relaxing and meditative to watch. Also, my dog used to go absolutely mental when I used my hover mower to cut the grass and I was worried he would also bark at the robot mower. Praise the Lord, he takes no notice of it at all and this has saved me a lot of stress as no more unhappy spouse and children as the dog no longer bounces up and down at the patio doors like a demented banshie for an hour or so while I cut the grass.
Final Words In short, if you’re tempted to buy this but not sure. Take the plunge and go for it. It is my favourite buy of the year so far. I love it. Easy to set up and works brilliantly.
