Flymo Glide Master 360

Glidemaster 360 flymo is about as much good as an "Ash tray on a motorcycle". Grass pick up is useless unless you are bent double holding down the rear of the mower. This effectively ensures that the mower can only be operated by a dwarf, or a small child. It obviously cuts closer with an extra rotor divider. However, the ineffective grass pick-up just makes this mower a rubbish item.

Now I didn`t expect too much as I bought this because it fits nicely in the back of the car so I can take it down to my elderly parents house to cut their lawn. It was always poor. An awful lot of grass escapes from the machine meaning that you mow in a constant haze of grass clippings. Anything other than a light trim is beyond it. What really annoyed me though that it was clearly designed to break after 13 months just after the warranty expired. Its now in the skip where it belongs. Flymo? You`d be better off buying a pair of scissors.

We've had one for a year. It is a waste of time and money, AVOID. It doesn't cut grass, it tears it. It will only hover when the moon flights with certain planets, or it is on very dry flat grass which has only just been cut.

The smallest of stones bends the tin foil blade, which should really be called anything but, a blade implies it cuts, this tears the grass and leaves a terrible cut.

It takes longer to clean up after the mower than it does to cut with it as it sprays grass everywhere, a feature they claim promotes growth. Personally I think it was a mess up they never bothered fixing at the design stage and passed on to the sales people to come up with a gimmick.

The grass collector is abysmal, anymore than 5 blades of grass and it requires emptying.

Its too heavy to push and when it doesn't hover, ie most of the time, it rips and pulls away at the lawn. If their has been any rain in the past week the problem is compounded.

My lawn has never looked in such a abysmal state, we have patches of mud everywhere.

Unfortunately we bought it the end of last season so we didn't have chance to take it back, can't wait to get its replacement. Fingers crossed it will break again soon and force my hand.

my flymo glide master 360 lasted 13 months i contacted flymo they told me to take it to there nearest repair shop which is 30 miles away to see if there was a fault if it was a fault of theres they would supply the part but not pay for the labour if no fault of theres we pay all of the cost after 13 months of using it i think this is awful customer service would NOT recommend

I bought my flymo glide master reasonaly priced from my local store and I have to say I have been very impressed with it. I cuts my grass to a perfect length and glides over my lawn cutting my grass with fantastic ease.

Overall I would recommend this product to anyone looking to purchase a good valus, well priced lawn mower.

I just can't understand the negative reviews of this machine. I have just cut my new laid turf for the first time. The grass was soaking wet and very long but the machine coped well with it. I will now cut again on a lower setting when the grass is dry and look forward to an even better experience. It's well made and certainly more substantial than the cheaper models in the Flymo range. The grass box is qwell designed and a breeze to empty. I say go for it.

bought the flymo glidemaster 360 worst lawnmower i have ever had i wouldnt recommend this to my worst enemy there was more grass on the ground than in the box.the only thing i liked was the cable winder. please do not buy this under any circumstances

I couldn't find a no star rating.FLYMO 340 GLIDE MASTER We bought this awesome looking machine to cut the grass and it did to a reasonable standard. Unfortunately we spent more time cleaning up after cutting the lawn. There was more grass inside the house than in the grass catcher. The previous lawnmower which had a larger catcher would have to be emptied 4-5 times this collected not even a half full catchers worth and the catcher is half the size. This machine is going back with immediate effect. If you enjoy your garden and love cleaning up after yourself this is a great machine. If you want a machine that does a job without creating more and more work DO NOT BUY its junk. Flymo you need to find someone who can adapt this machine to pick up grass as well as cut it

Having waited 10 years for my better half to cut the grass, I looked out the window to find my old Flymo of 6 years smouldering amongst the half-cut grass! Time for a new one I thought and the offer of £30 at the local B&Q was too good to turn away... or so I thought!

Initial wonderment over why I was having a shower in grass followed by sheer exasperation on the incompetence of this mower to collect grass has left me with no other option but to take this back in the morning. I would have been quicker with a pair of shears! An utter disappointment! :-(

I bought it today, and it's going straight back tomorrow! Not impressed at all. For a mower branded FLYmo it flies like the hindenburg airship. And the term GLIDEmaster would, to me, imply effortless motion or at least be easy to push around. It does not hover! It spits grass up in the air nicely though.

I did, however, like the easy to use cable reel and the grass bucket was good. I think the whole thing is way too heavy though. Not as bad once it's going but it's very difficult to push, and i'm a 6ft tall 15stone bloke. I bought a flymo so it'd be easier for my wife to use if i'm away. Big mistake! It's very difficult to manouvre even for me.
