  General comments: After 2 years of ownership the gearbox on my Flymo Quicksilver 5160HW has broken and the drive wheels have seized. I am faced with a bill of £150.00 but I think I might scrap it because I don't think it's up to the job. We have a sloping lawn about 40 yards square. The wheel height setting keeps slipping as well, meaning that it's impossible to set and keep at the correct cutting height.

  I thought what a great machine until I started to cut my lawn with the
  Flymo Quicksilver 5160HW and realised that it was not much shorter than when I started. Six height settings but the lowest setting was way too high. Took mine back to Homebase and got my money back. Smaller wheels would sort the problem, unbelievable!

  I concur totally with Andy Sedd on the Flymo Quicksilver 5160HW . Having finally got the thing together and working, I found it as useful as a chocolate fireguard. It took several go's to get my money back, but that was the best thing to do with this lump of ironmongery. Decorative it might be, but practical it most certainly is not. Don't buy under any circumstances.

  I got this mower home and found the instructions to be useless straight away but with common sense it was quite simple to erect. Oil and fuel in and off we go - straight away! The engine is brilliant (B+S) Only problem is - IT DOESN'T CUT. Even on the lowest settings it looked like i'd rolled over it and not cut it. With a name like Flymo you'd expect it to be descent but it's not.
  
  I got my money back from Homebase without a problem and went to another DIY store and got a far superior mower for ...

  The Flymo Quicksilver 5160HW is a well priced product that at first glance looks the business. But oh dear how I was hood-winked. What's the use of a lawnmower that cannot cut low enough? Complained to Flymo and they simply said it was the design and that they couldn't so anything about it. They suggested I took it back (Homebase) and ask for a refund or exchange.
