Flymo EasiGlide 300

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.

Replaced an old flymo which served me well for years. This one cuts well and collects the grass but it does leave a lot of clippings behind meaning you have to go over the grass twice. But the motor seems very strong ✔️ But I’m happy with the purchase.

A little self assembly needed. Took all of 10 minutes . Cutting width slightly more than my last one, but the mower is in fact lighter. The usual variety of cutting heights and a decent length cable. Fairly effortless for an old guy like me to carry and use. Results so far look good. I was concerned as this was described as a previous returned order. The box had been opened before, but the mower and parts were brand new. Worth the discount.

Easy to assemble. Easy to operate and collects the grass very well

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....

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.

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.

Apart from the DPD delivery, the mower works well. This is the same or similar to my old mower which was around 4 years old.i think I paid £65 for it then, now we have to pay £110 , which was the cheapest I could find.The quality is a bit of a let down in so far as the plastic grass collection cover is thin and doesn't fit too well,and most annoying is the fact that the lead seems shorter than the old one, only just reaches the bottom of the garden . I usually cut my neighbours grass in the front , but not sure if it will reach now .other than that , it cuts the grass beautifully,and is a bit quieter than my old mower, 4 stars

Der Geräuschpegel des Luftkissenmähers ist durchaus vertretbar. Der Transport ist durch 2 integrierte Rollen ebenfalls kein Problem. Wenn man die Schnitthöhe öfter regulieren möchte, ist das durch Wechsel der Distanzscheiben möglich, aber besser einmal einstellen uns so lassen. Bedingt durch die Funktionsweise ist nicht alles im Grasfangkorb gelandet. Der Mäher bläst halt auch nach unten, um zu schweben. Alles in allem aber ein praktisches Gerät, da auch seitlich geschwenkt werden kann.

It's a great product

Elle fonctionne bien

Een keer gebruikt, bevalt prima. Netstekker aan het snoer is een Britse(BS1363) Dat was wel degelijk een start probleem.

Da der Mäher aus England kommt, benötigt er natürlich einen Adapter für den Schuco Anschluß - gleich mitbestellen- Das Mähen ist leicht und handlich; das Ergebnis kann sich sehen lassen. Alles in allem dauert der Mähvorgang etwas länger als mit "Antrieb", dafür ist die Qualität besser. Das Gras sollte nicht ganz so hoch sei.
