Flymo Mow 'n' Vac

Wholst shopping at B&Q i saw this lawn mower for £45, i thought it was a great design with the one handed operating handle, i pushed the display one around a bit in the shop and it move very easily, great i thought no more fighting with my big heavy lawn mower. The first time i tried this in the garden i was not impressed at all. It is virtually impossible to push the mover with one hand and was still difficult with two hands. Then came the bumps, nothing major just slight little dips in my grass but every time my lawn mower hit one it tried to flip over, this was not what i was expecting. Yes this mower is light weight like the box ...  Read the complete review

When we put a lawn down in our back garden I suddenly realized that I would need to mow it and so quickly rushed out and rather hastily purchased the Flymo Mow n Vac. Well that was a few years ago now and for some unknown reason I still have the same lawn mower, at least that is what I think it is. The reason I am confused is because when you plug this thing in it happily glides around the lawn, covering ground with ease. I can honestly say it is easy to use and is comfortable to operate. Just one tiny problem; it doesn't cut the grass! Well okay it does cut the grass eventually, but it takes forever to do so. Luckily the ease of operation means that you can ...  Read the complete review

-bought this for a small lawn as a successor to my old hover mower that was still working after 21 years? use. How wrong I was and how disappointed I am with this flimsy thing. It?s cheap, but nasty and doesn?t really cut grass in everyday situations. Yes, if the grass is reasonably short to short with and is dry, the plastic blades will ?cut?, or rather shear the leaves, but if you come across something harder to cut, the blades (that snap-fit into the revolving plastic disk) rotate in their housing so that they no longer project at right angles to the disc, severely limiting their cutting potential. Also, the mower will cut out if the grass is wet or too long. ...  Read the complete review

I totally agree with the other reviews written about this cheap and badly designed piece of garden equipment. Although, the plastic blades are rubbish I personally dont think this is the worst part of the design of this model. That award goes to the single handle which I assume is supposed to represent a vaccum cleaner. When was the last time you wanted to use a vaccum cleaner to mow your grass? This handle has been the cause of numerous blisters to everyone who has used this machine and I honestly believe that Flymo should start to supply every mow n vac with a free pair of heavy duty gardening gloves. I also had an old flymo, which I gave away when I bought this new ...  Read the complete review
