The mower had to be assembled which was quite a straight forward job and took about 20 minutes all in. Once assembled I found it to be very light and easy to use. The 10m cable is a bit on the short side but an extension was not needed for our small garden. The motor was quiet and seemed to tackle cutting the grass exceptionally well for a small lightweight mower. The grass box is easy to fit and quite good capacity. Initially I was not quite sure how to raise or lower the cutting height. This is done by lifting a metal bar and raising or lowering the wheels. The well thought out design makes storage simple and it fits easily in our small shed. The price on Amazon was very good which was a bonus. All in all, very happy with the purchase.

This is the first review I have ever written on amazon and I feel obliged to warn people about the battery version of the 30 inch mower as I have now bought and returned 2 for precisely the same reason – the batteries are faulty and flymo will not replace them.
I also think it’s important to note that the review score seems to bundle in the 30 inch model, the 34 inch model and crucially the corded and battery options so the score you see isn’t necessarily for the product you are buying.
In short, when it’s working this mower is good – it cuts well, folds nicely and the batteries last a reasonable time. However the issue I have found (twice now, which makes me think is more than just bad luck) is that if the batteries are not regularly charged (like for example over winter when you are not cutting the grass) – they simply stop working. Therefore in the Spring when you want to fire up the mower again – they simply don’t charge.
The first time this happened I assumed it was my fault and I should have stored the batteries in the house rather than in the shed over winter (still waterproof but probably cold). Flymo were utterly useless and told me they could not replace batteries, (despite them lasting less than 6 months). Amazon were great and allowed me to return the item and reorder a replacement. However the exact same issue has just happened this year (despite storing the batteries inside the house over winter ) when I have tried to do the first cut of the season.
This clearly seems to be a battery fault that is systemic rather than a one off so I cannot recommend the 30 inch battery model and would be very weary especially given the price about buying any of the other models which use the same batteries, which is a shame as otherwise it’s a good product and while it lasted did the job well.

Great product! Found that it’s perfect for a relatively small lawn, ergonomic and easy to put together. The grass collection was handy and it’s lightweight
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking at it.

Great lawnmower, very powerful and sturdy for an electric mower compared to other electric mowers I’ve had before. Very straight forward to assemble and took no longer than 15-20 minutes. Takes up very little room in the shed when folded up for storage. Excellent lawnmower for the price, let’s hope it stands the test of time.

Superb mower, very ergonomic to use and stores away in a small space. Initial set up fitting the handle was quick and easy, but clipping the two halves of the grass box together is really a 2 person job in my opinion. I managed it on my own after 10 minutes of exasperation. If this mower lasts as long as my previous Flymo Chevron 34c (about 18 years before the motor smoked and died last week) I’ll be very pleased. Looks to be excellent value and not very loud.

Great mower good size once you put it together. Little bit of a jigsaw if you have never put one together before. Well worth the effort. I would recommend any one to buy this lawnmower.

Happy with the mower, wanted something light, with easy to adjust height cutting. Assembly of the grass box was a royal nightmare, it has about 6 clips that have to be perfectly aligned and you can’t see very well to line them all up – took me about 25 mins to do what should have been a 1 min task! Instructions are a bit confusing as well as they cover multiple models, so you follow them in order only to realise the step you are on does not apply to your model – again just not great user experience.
