Flymo Easi Glide 300

I bought my first Flymo in 1970, it was still going strong 10 years later when I emigrated so when I came back 22 years ago, I bought another. Having had other mowers, nothing compares with the quality & ease of use of a Flymo. The only drawback with the earlier model was there was no grass collection & they were rather heavy. So, when I read about the Easiglide I decided to upgrade & gave my other to my neighbour, it still works well so she's very happy with it. As for the Easiglide, what a pleasure, the folding handle makes it easy to transport, it's lightweight & the built in roller means I can roll it along if need be. The handle was a bit stiff at first, you need to squeeze it in at the base or it won't fold down. There's nothing in the user guide that mentions this. At first there was a flurry of grass flying in all directions but the grass was very long as I'd been away for over a week while it rained throughout. However, I find if you push & pull rather like a vacuuming motion, as you pull it towards you, the grass gets sucked up through the vent in the grass box. The lid does seem a bit flimsy but it only aids to the lightness of the machine. All in all, I am delighted with my Flymo Easiglide, plenty of cable & easy to clean.

I've never had a garden before my new home as I lived in a top floor flat (georgouois views). It a small garden probably about 15sq m, great as I don't have time for gardening! The grass eventually grew to the point even the Mrs commented on it, and when that happens it means the lazy, reluctant husband (me) has to do something about it! The way my brain works is I have to research everything to death before I make a decision on how/what/when I should part with my hard earned cash...well actually I don't work that hard but in the interest of trying to make my self look good....anyway back to the review I'd heard of flymo before - I didn't grow up in a box with limited contact to the outside world - so after 8 days of careful deliberation I picked this flymo. I was dubious about the hover function (come on this isn't back to the future and I'm not Marty mcfly) but it actually works! It doesn't hover like said hover board but it does sort of glide across the grass. Easy to on and off and the cable is quite long. The bin is really easy to empty as long as it's not windy ( or you get grass all over you face And your son decides to start calling you captain grass beard) It has 3 spacers which allow you to cut the grass to 3 lengths. You have to use the supplied spanner to remove or add the spacers. Easy enough. Although it collects 80% of the grass it still spitss some out...which my research tells me is a good thing because you create mulch. A good thing. Look it up. Would I buy this again? No because I already have one hahah! Kidding! I would if I had didn't have one. For £60 this isn't cheap or expensive so it fits right in with my buying habits. I took some before and after pics as they speak a million words (or something like that) so I hope it helps you make a decision. This was done with 1 spacer, which is the highest setting and leaves the grass long/tall. Pros; Reputable brand Easy to operate Kind of compact- when folded down but I have a garage to store it in so don't have storage issues Does a good job Cons: As the bin doesn't have a window I have to stop every so often to check if it's full Bit of a pain to clean but all lawn mowers are (you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette)

I am writing this review having owned a flymo easi glide 300 for approximately 5-6 years now. I have actually been so impressed with the product that I have since bought 2 additional ones for family members. The lawn mower is exceptionally lightweight and manouverable. Setup is very straightforward - just add the grass collection basket, plug into mains 3 pin (or extension cord) and press start. The mower has a fan that provides lift and enables it to hover above the grass so that it can be moved in any direction with ease (as opposed to lawn mowers with wheels which can only move forwards and backwards). The height can be adjusted with stepper nuts so that you can choose how long or short to cut the grass. The collection basket can be easily removed for tipping of grass cuttings or can be left off to allow mulching of the cuttings. The only disadvantages on the mower are that the width is quite narrow, so it does take quite a few passes in order to provide a thorough cut of the lawn without leaving uncut strips. To change the height of the grass it's a little bit of a faff compared to petrol mowers that has an easy lever, but once you have decided on your preferred length of grass then it's not too much of an issue.

We live in the wilds of the Finnish taiga forests in an old school with lots of grass which isn't beautifully British bowling green smooth but has lumps & bumps, slopes and valleys and is, frankly a pain in the back to mow.I had an early electric Flymo for some years and it worked well but it chucked the mowed grass detritus all over the place and I had to rake it up and cart it around in a wheelbarrow to the compost. This is fabulous! Firstly it has a grass box so I just time the end of a mowing line to coincide with a cunningly created compost heap and empty it. Secondly it is a DREAM to use once you read the instructions ( "when all else fails, read the instructions" ) and learn how to use the pushing handle gubbins properly ( hint; push it DOWN, don't lift it ! ) and like all Flymos ; it simply flies and you don't have to push the weight of a mower around. It saves so much TIME and at this time of year when we are inundated by thousands of fallen leaves ; I just mow across the lot and it cuts the grass ... AND ... mulches the leaves and sucks them up all at the same time. This turns mowing the grass into a pleasurable activity which I can do without half killing myself ... It also has the advantage of cutting so much on one grass box that I have time to enjoy a cold beer between boxes without feeling guilty. Strongly recommended.

Funciona muy bien y es cómodo. Además recoge muy bien la hierba cortada.

Commandé le 02/06 et reçu le 29/06. Emballage a encore un peu souffert mais l'article est en bon état et fonctionne correctement. Dommage la notice est en anglais, un plus: la fourniture d'un adaptateur prise UK/France. Matériel conforme à mon attente mais il me semble plus fragile qu'un modèle semblable acquis il y a une dizaine d'années. Suite au renvoi du premier article, échanges courtois et efficaces avec le vendeur UK.

Der Flymo Easyglide 300 Elektro-Luftkissenmäher ist der 2. Luftkissenmäher, den ich mir gekauft habe. Die Bestellung über Amazon lief problemlos, nur die Lieferung durch den englichen Anbieter dauerte etwas länger (Korrespondenz über Internet in englisch, aber problemlos und sehr freundlich), war in Ordnung. Für mich und meinen kleinen verwinkelten und unebenen Garten ist dieser Luftkissenmäher ideal und ich bin mit diesem Gerät sehr zufrieden. Der Rasenmäher, mit einem praktischen Grasfangkorb ausgestattet ist nicht schwer, leicht zu bedienen und leicht zu reinigen. Die Kupplung des Steckers vom Rasenmäherkabel für deutsche Steckdosen ist bei der Lieferung im Rasenmäher dabei. Ein Luftkissenmäher zum Weiterempfehlen.

Pareil que l’utilisateur précédent ... reçu la tondeuse mais avec une prise anglaise donc inutilisable en France ... il faut changer la prise pour pouvoir s’en servir ... il faut le stipuler dans la description du produit. Cela peut s’apparenter à de la publicité mensongère et tromperie sur la marchandise

Der Rasenmäher funktioniert gut. Ich bin schon immer Fan von Luftkissenmähern. Manko war der britische Stecker, so dass ich noch einen Adapter kaufen musste.
