The mower also needs an outdoor charging point that is weatherproof so sometimes it’s necessary to build a shelter for it. This needs to be added to the costs. These mowers are also high risk for robberies and they’re easily lifted out of the garden at night or when you’re not home. They do come with a pin code so thieves won’t be able to use it but it’s still a risk. Motor – In terms of the motor you’ve got on this machine, it’s certainly not the most powerful out there and I wouldn’t want to overload it and expect too much of it. This means DON’T expect it to plough through foot high grass without blinking. It’s just not cut out (no pun intended!) for that kind of job. A hover lawnmower that can’t pull in enough air will struggle to hover and will feel very heavy. This is often due to a build-up of grass clippings under the hood. Give the mower a sweep out and avoid mowing when the grass is damp to help prevent this issue. Where are Flymo lawnmowers made? To avoid this, I walked slower for the rest of the cut and applied quite a hard pressure when pushing. If you’re cutting tall grass, the 1000 W engine may not be enough to get through it. The ideal cutting conditions for this mower seem to be well-manicured lawns that aren’t dense or heavy with growth.

Flymo is a leading brand that is produced by the Husqvarna group. This company is a world leader in the production of outdoor products such as tractors, lawnmowers, chainsaws, and much more. Can I cut wet grass with a Flymo? To set up this mower you have to install a guidewire around the edge of your lawn so the mower knows where to go. This involves pegging it on display which is easier to install but is visible or you can bury it underground. This is more intensive to install and you won’t notice breaks as easily but it will make the garden look tidier. There is no vertical storage with this model, unlike the Flymo EasiStore range of models. Height Adjustment This mower can handle up to 400m2 lawn maximum. If your lawn is larger than this it will struggle to keep up. It can’t handle a garden that slopes any steeper than 1 in 6 slope so not a good option if your garden is steeper than this.

Why You Can Trust DIY Garden

Just bear in mind that this mower is lightweight, so therefore the stripes will not be as defined and long lasting as those produced from heavier petrol or cordless mowers. Mulching

The Flymo EasiMow 340R is a nifty, lightweight little lawn mower that has seriously impressed me. It’s not a mower that’s got the most features and cutting functions in the world, but it’s got more than enough to deliver a fantastic cut. For example, a rear roller and cut to edge which adds that little extra something to make your lawn stand out from the rest. For small lawns (up to 100sqm) you should be ok with a cutting width of around 30 cm, medium lawns (100-250sqm) will need 35-40 cm and larger lawns (250sqm+) will need 40 cm+. Grass Collector Vs Mulching You have a choice of five cutting heights with the Flymo EasiMow 340R and these range between 20mm and 60mm. The 20mm minimum is great for people who like to keep their grass very short, but the higher end of the scale could be a little more generous, in my opinion, as some mowers go up to 75mm allowing them to cut longer grass.I’ve covered a huge variety of mowers in this article, from rotary to hover and even a robotic option. We’ll start with my top 5 favourites from Flymo and after that, I’ve included a handy buyers guide to help you choose the best option for your garden. Next, I have some FAQs and finally a few more options that haven’t quite made the top five but are too good to forget about!
