Flymo Microlite Reviews

Oh no! It's that time of year again, the sun shines intermittently through broken rain clouds, kids in the street kick footballs against your windows and set your car alarm off and even worst the early morning light means that your child gets up at 5am and proceeds to wake the entire house. Add to this list hay fever, vicious wasps and ...  Read the complete review

Truly a terrible machine. Underpowered and badly made. I had bought the microlite last year and while not overly impressed with its cutting action decided to keep it as it was fairly inexpensive. Stored it away properly in the garden shed for a season and took it out recently for this Spring's cut. Plugged it in and started to mow the lawn. Smoke proceeded to rise from the microlite and it nearly caught fire! I would expect a mower to last at least a few seasons but just one? This mower is a false economy and Flymo customer service is really terrible. Buy a Qualcast!

What a great buy! I have a reasonably sized lawn - 700 sq ft or so and quite enjoy the ease with which it cuts the grass. True - it's not got very big blades - plastic though for safety - but just consider it exercise. Top Tip - stand with legs braced and swing from side to side to really work your arms!

The Flymo Microlite is a great little mower. I bought one of these because it was small and light, which made it ideal for my 30sq-ft garden. Assemly is as easy as you like and only takes 10 minutes. The plastic blades do the job and are easy to replace. I have had mine for 18months and I haven't yet needed to replace the blades. It ...  Read the complete review

NoMow Flymo - Unreliable - Advantages: Only two breakdowns in one year, cheap - Disadvantages: Two complete breakdowns, insufficiently powered?, poor customer service

Question: What have a small electric hover mower and a land-speed record attempt in common? Answer: 'Fodding', i.e. the search for, and removal of FOREIGN OBJECTS that might cause any DAMAGE before the activity in question. Like most owners of a suburban 'semi', I have two gardens, one at the front and one at the ...  Read the complete review

The Flymo Microlite is a compact and light weight mower. The problem is that however light and easy to use it is, if it doesn't cut your grass, then its no use. There are a number of problems with it. First of all, the blade is made from plastic. My 4 year old daughter uses plastic scissors because they are safer than steel ...  Read the complete review

...and let me play among the stars! Now spring is here, it's time to start thinking about clearing up the winter debris in the garden. My most hated job is cutting the grass, but it's a task that must be done if you want to see outside past the forest of blades! I usually try and nag my husband until he relents and does it (or ...  Read the complete review
