General Comments

We got this Flymo lawn mower recently and it comes with a 'free' strimmer (i think i know why now!), compared to our old mower, it is worse. Assembly is reasonably easy from the box, with about 8 things to attach/ fit and bolt on.

On switching on the first thing you notice is that its like having a concrete brick inside it, its no joke trying to move this thing around. you may be OK if you have a perfectly flat lawn, but our sloped lawn with a few turf divets is too much for it, it seems to be too heavy for the 'hover effect' to work properly. The machine collects grass by sucking it in from the rear of the machine and compacting it into a central basket- sounds good in theory, but it doesn't seem to really work very well, with a lot of grass blowing around and still not being picked up.

The mower is quiet to use and does actually cu the grass well, but for my money, its just too heavy and doesn't collect the grass as well as a conventional basket on the back type mower. Sorry Flymo!
