Most of the mowers in my review have the control levers on both sides of the handlebar. This lets both left- and right-handed people use their preferred hand to hold the throttle down. Grass collection Like a lot of people, I’ve also had a few electric Flymo lawnmowers which I use for my own garden in the past. These included the old Flymo Glider 330 and 330 Turbo models. I only have a medium-sized lawn and rather than bringing a mower home from the nursery, it was easier to have a flymo at home just for my garden. My first lawnmower was actually a Flymo some 20 years ago! The batteries charge to full from completely discharged in three hours, so you may want to have a spare set ready to go if you’re mowing a large lawn. This may be why the manufacturer states that this Flymo cordless mower is best for small to medium size gardens and with a 30cm cutting width we also agree. The cutting width of 30cm supports this garden size, as does the cutting height range of 25mm to 65mm (in three steps), though you won’t get a really close-cropped lawn. The height is adjustable through an easy-to-get-to central lever. I think this Flymo Turbo Lite 250 is perfect for very small lawns. If you have a larger lawn, it’s probably better to invest in a larger model, such as the Flymo EasiGlide 300 Hover Lawn Mower, which offers a slightly wider cutting width but this does have a collection box. For compact gardens, though, this Turbo Lite 250 is what I would recommend. Remember, it has a narrow 25cm cutting width, but its lightweight design makes it easy to manoeuvre and store, especially if you have limited space. Although we then thought we shouldn’t just look at all Flymo products, instead we should be looking at only their products that fall within the Lawn Mowers category.

The Flymo EasiGlide Plus 360V Hover Collect Lawn Mower is a corded mower that’s especially good on sloped lawns or those with non-traditional shapes. Its 1800W/360V capacity supports its use on larger lawns, as does its generous 36cm cutting width. Although you only have a choice of four cutting heights, the lowest one of 10mm is quite a close cut.Scottish Highlands & Islands postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, LL58-LL78, IM, TR, PO30-41 This Flymo EasiGlide Plus has the usual Flymo feature that respects that outdoor storage space is always at a premium. The handlebar folds down to allow you to transport the mower easily and to either hang it up for storage or to store it standing vertically. Pros

Flymo hover mowers work by simply gliding along on a cushion of air, compared to rotary lawnmowers and cylinder mowers, which run along the ground. Weight and manoeuvrability The box has an easy to see viewing window so you when its time to empty. The grass clippings are compacted as well to ensure that you can minimise trips to the compost heap or waste bin. Manoeuvrability and StorageIts worth noting that the handles are also ambidextrous in that the control levers are on both sides of them. Use either hand to control the mower, depending on what you need to do with the other hand at the time. Pros As mentioned earlier, the grass collection box has a generous 35L capacity, not the biggest collection box but large enough for smaller lawns. The box has a tongue design on the opening that makes it easy to empty. It’s worth noting the collection box full indicator lets you know how close you are to filling it up.

If you want to go cordless like I have with most of my garden tools including cordless strimmers, hedge trimmers and even chainsaws, this Flymo EasiStore 300R Li Cordless Rotary Lawn Mower is well worth considering and offers excellent value for money. It’s compact, folds flat and gives a good finish on the lawn with a 30cm cutting width and 30 litre collection box. It’s a good choice for small lawns, if you have a larger lawn, I’d seriously consider a Bosch or Worx cordless mower, thats what I use now. One of the standout features of the Flymo Glider Compact 330AX is its ergonomic handle, designed to provide comfort and ease of use during operation. With two wheels, this lawnmower glides smoothly across your lawn, ensuring effortless maneuverability. We covered the importance of choosing a great brand, earlier in the quality section of this review. The handle can be folded over for easier transportation and storage and the Flymo 330AX is quite easy to carry single-handed with the handle in the folded position. Two wheels are mounted on the front of the mower to make it easier to transport if you prefer not to carry. As this is a “compact” model it has a reduced overall mower height than others in the range, making storage a little easier. Other Features
