Flymo EasiGlide 360 Hover Collect Lawn Mower - 2000W Motor, 36cm Cutting Width, 26 Litre Grass Box, Folds Flat, 10m Cable Length, Orange and Grey

This cuts really well and has three cutting heights which are achieved by adding or removing the height blocks. The tool for this is supplied. Moving the mower is straightforward enough once plugged in just press the button and hold the trigger handle to keep mowing while pushing the mower in the desired direction. Doesn't feel to heavy or bulky and is also used by a pensioner. It has a grass box that does an excellent job of collecting the grass and is emptied by opening with a simple lift to dispose of the grass in to the garden waste bin. This mower is corded but you get a good amount of cable. Very good mower and has been doing the business for a while now and I expect another successful summers mowing. Recommended if you are looking for a corded hover type mover and these still look good and modern. The storage is a little different to previous designs as the handle can be folded twice for compactness but has an extra screw/knob.

The product is very easy to assemble and set the height of the cutting blade. The machine is easy to use it floats on air well. The motor is powerful if a little noisy. I bought it to replace a fly - mo which finally gave up the ghost after 40 years, yes forty years! I use it to cut the stalky grass in the lawn which my cylinder motor mower won’t touch, in this regard it does a perfect job. I have also tried it on some longer grass app 4” which it cut well. However, it does not pick up the grass cuttings well. I would say it picks up less than 50%. Not a problem for me but maybe something to consider if you want a pristine cutting free lawn. The ability to fold the handle to store was an important consideration so when out of use it can be hung on a wall. I would have given it 5 stars but for the grass collection issue. I recall I’m not the first to make this comment.

My lawn is larger than average with some areas of quite steep slopes. I had been using a petrol mower for many years but this summer it gave up. After doing some research I found a like for like replacement motor mower would cost me around £450-£500, well outside my budget. However I noticed the Flymo got several good reviews & priced at just over £100 I thought I would chance it. And am I glad I did. Flymo are known for being decent quality & this model is driven by a powerful electric motor. It tackles everything I ask it to, even when grass has got quite long. It glides over the steep slopes with ease, whereas my motor mower kicked up & slid off line making cutting these areas very hard work. Having a power cord is inconvenient for sure, but it comes with a very long lead attached & together with an extension lead I didn't find it a problem at all. Just be careful not to cut through the cable, it happens!! The only fault I have with this model is the grass box container needs a window so you can check how full it is. A minor quibble but one easily solved by having a transparent lid. Down to production costs I suppose. Assembly is very easy, couple of fittings to attach the handle & away you go. I've seen some reviews which criticize the need to fit spacers to the blade attachment to adjust the cutting height. This is a very easy process, I don't see that as a problem at all. Also the spanner required to do this comes supplied with the mower as well. Having a largish lawn I opted for the 36cm width model, but for those with smaller areas the 30 or 33cms width will be more than adequate for the job. I attached 2 of the 3 spacers provided to lower the blade. This gives a very good low cut, leaving a nice tidy finish to the lawn. All in all a very good quality product at a very good price. Lightweight & easy to use. I highly recommned it.

High quality popular Flymo at an excellent price. Does our small/moderate size lawns in no time at all. Easy to store in a limited space shed. Cable tidy works well unless you want to collapse it for storage every time. Good grass collection performance.

Just arrived this afternoon so a fresh perspective on this mower. Our 13 year old 1300W Compact 300 had become a boneshaker, so noisy and the plastic handle broke yesterday, so time for a replacement. There is very little choice in the hover market at present with only a few models from Flymo and a few unheard of names. I was going to go for the Spear & Jackson, but my research discovered that they lend their name to Argos - say no more. That means they can attach that name to any of their own brand Chinese rubbish. So in the end went for the Flymo Easyglide 360. Despite some negative reviews, there was little option for me so took the plunge. These are my findings: ASSEMBLY: 1) It took me 10 minutes working out how to lift the lid to remove the grass collection box which contained all the bits before I could start the assembly. It doesn't mention how to open it and I couldn't see a way to lift the lid without force. I managed to read some faint words saying "PRESS" on the lid, and so carefully prised in the plastic tongue to release it. 2) Assembly is a bit of a faf, especially being extra careful with the cheap plastic parts, so as not to break any as mentioned in other reviews here. 3) The assembly manual is incorrect, when coming to the handle assembly. They give you three bolt handles - 2 used on one side for the cable storage, of which one is the securing bolt to the lower frame . The other is a different looking one and according to the manual it says attach "if necessary"! Well it is necessary as otherwise you won't be able to bolt the other side of the frame to the lower frame. This wasted 25 minutes re-reading instructions and looking at the mower box to try and work out where it is supposed to go. 4) After use, trying to work out how to fold it is also a nightmare, as if you want to fold the top handle down, you basically have to part undo the 2 main securing bolts to allow the frame to come apart enough that you can fold the frame over. The only issue now, is that if you've already would all the cable onto the clips, you have to take it all off again to undo the bolts. More concerning though, is that once you start to fold the frame over, the black mains cable now gets caught between the frame as the clips you used to hold it onto the frame makes it too tight. So these have to come off and you have to fold the frame whilst making sure to not pinch the cable between the frames! All this is a bit of a nightmare and I can't see me wanting to go through this malarky every time I want to use and put away the mower. USE: So as to use, we have quite bumpy uneven lawns (see picture) , and despite what some of the other reviewers have said, I found it very manoeuvrable - but coming from an underpowered 1300W model that is likely why it is easier for me to use. So a positive on that front. As for the cut, I put on all 3 spacers, as this is what I had on my previous mower and the cut was the same, so no worries there - was pleased with the cut. Now for the bad part - the grass collection - or lack of it. The part that is supposed to suck all the grass up at the rear is extremely poor - it blows more out than it picks up. When I went to put it away and lifted the grass collection bin out, there was hardly any grass in there! Worse, was all the grass had completely covered the motor grid, so I'm surprised there was any suction at all. Conclusion - I'm not really happy with it at all. It is too large, very difficult to store and the performance is woeful as far as grass collection is concerned. I had to get out the leaf blower / mulcher to suck up all the grass as it made a total mess and I should not have to do this. It took me twice as long to mow the lawn. I think this may be going back to Amazon....

I bought this to replace my old machine which finally gave up the ghost after about 15 years! The first thing I noticed were some of the issues in other reviews. The tightness of the nut that has to be unscrewed to fit the spacers is challenging to say the least. However a quick spray with WD40 solved the problem. It took me about 20 minutes to unpack and assemble the mower. Like some others I was surprised that the pins holding the handle to the body of the mower were plastic, time will tell if they work as well as the older metal ones! Of course the business and of this product is the cut which is very good. Personally I was surprised by how much of a difference the change from the old 33cm cut to the 36cm cut was. Mowing was much quicker and the bigger grass box really helps. Compared to my old machine this is a real improvement. Cord length is always an annoying issue, but as the extension used on my old machine still works it isn't a problem. You might have to factor in the cost of the extension if this is a new machine. One last advantage of the new machine is how easy it is to wind the cable back onto the handle brackets. Good price, swift delivery, easy to get up and running, great cut - what's not to like?

Great mower but hadn't expected it to need partial assembly and the nut holding the blades in place was virtually impossible to undo. Thank goodness for WD-40.

This was bought to replace my old Vision Compact 350 and seems to be a direct modern equivalent, therefore I’m in a position to tell you exactly what has changed. Firstly it is a lot lighter, and I mean half the weight of the older model. This has advantages, for one it’s a lot easier to manoeuvre, and it hovers better. It also cuts closer to the edge of the mower. The drawbacks are that the build quality and strength are massively lower. Secondly there is no back to the mower at all. The grass box itself forms the back of the mower. This makes it difficult to carry the mower, and more fiddly to position the grass box when you place it back on the mower after emptying it. The cord is not as long and is built into the mower. Why they do this now is anyone’s guess because if you inadvertently run over the cable you have to buy a whole new mower. It has no window in the top to see if it is full, no loss to me as it was useless anyway. I’ve used it once so far and it was pleasant to use because, as mentioned, the lower weight meant it hovered well. It gave a very neat and close cut with two of the blade lowering disks fitted (three would be an extremely close cut- or scalping) and collected the grass very well. If you have very tall grass or uneven lawns then it won’t hover as well. For me if it doesn’t break or crack in use, then the flimsy plastic is worth putting up with for the reduced effort of using the new one, and only time will tell in that one.
