    We've had our flymo power compact 400 for several years and been well satisfied with its performance. Amazing how it can be designed to have so many little nooks and crannies for small cuttings to collect but for cutting and collecting it seems pretty good to us.

    Had it for 1 and half seasons and im looking to change it already. the compacter grass collector doesnt really compact the grass and for medium lawns a regular trim is required even then the collector needs to empty 3 or 4 times. It has a cheap feel to it.

    The Flymo Power Compact 400 is the best mower I have ever owned. Left out all winter and still works fine. Good cut and easy to empty.

    Regret buying the Flymo Power Compact - now scrapped afer just 4 years of light use! Clogs in all grasses whether wet or dry seems to be due to lack of clearance for exiting grass. Poor grassbox vacuum mechanism does not work.

    No complaints what so ever. Just plug in and point at the lawn and it does every thing I ask no matter how tough.

    I thought that the problem might be that my wife was getting old but the problems she has are the same as listed here. Does not cut well at all We were considering a 3400 but after seeing the flymo reviews and experience of them, I think we will pass on that one.

    Useless performance is completely clogged up after half a stripe. Idea of vaccuuming grass from lower cutters simply does not work. I dont know if mower will fall apart or vibrate itself to death despite having a new blade fitted and the motor balanced by local dealer this mower. I have complained t ...

    We bought the Flymo Power Compact 400 lawn mower in 2000, as we moved into a house with a bigger lawn, where the old 30 cm wide lawn mower was getting a bit tedious. The PC 400 seemed powerful, and looked different from all the other lawnmowers. Pricewise it was more like a premium electric mower... ...

    Worst mower I've bought, and with the shortest life, just 9 months. 1. Height adjustment lever snapped off, no replacement available, therefore mower useless as it then sits on the floor.
    2. Too may plastic chambers inside that just collect clumps of mown grass, and it's very difficult to clean.
    3. ...

    The Flymo Power Compact 400 was my second lawn mower of this type. The first mowers motor burned out. Luckily, it was only ten months old and the store replaced it. Unfortunately, they replaced it with the same model. Ten months later the height adjuster on the replacement failed.

    This time I hav ...
