Brilliant little mower.., 21 May 2010
This review is from: Flymo Turbo Lite 330 1150W Electric Hover Lawn Mower (DIY & Tools)

A really nifty little mower
I have a small lawn and am aged 76.. so cant do with anything heavy to operate.
This little mower does the job perfectly, and I could do the job using one finger (good eh!!)
This doesnt come with the grass box, I dont think its essential, and anyway the box adds more weight
AND a few grass cuttings help to protect the grass a bit from heavy sun .
I Like the metal blade in preference to the plastic one and feel it gives a really good cut,
even on damp grass. Yes indeed a very good little mower..Thanks .

Flymo Turbo Lite 330 mower, 12 Oct 2010
This review is from: Flymo Turbo Lite 330 1150W Electric Hover Lawn Mower (DIY & Tools)
Not much choice at all these days for lightweight mowers in this price range (now that Black and Decker - regrettably - do not seem to be supplying this type of mower any longer).
This Flymo one is pretty much OK ... it feels powerful, and covers the ground rapidly without a lot of fuss.
It probably cuts best and most neatly on really dry grass (the Flymo Helpline people effectively confirm this, in a more guarded way, of course).
Damp or slightly wet grass tends to collect at the inside of the dome, and rather soon after the beginning of mowing the mower makes a throat-clearing sort of noise and coughs out smallish pieces of accumulated cut grass on the cut area.
It is possible to control this dumping to an extent by keeping handy a dedicated shortish length of wood, and every now and again stopping the mower and doing a rough clearance of the inside of the dome.
My mower is pretty new, and has so far only been used for 7 or 8 cuts, so I am beginning to master this clogging thing, but must admit that I find the clearance routine overly finicky.
My Black & Decker mower used to leave just a fine line of cut grass, which could be thrown to the right by overlapping the next pass, and it was only when nearing the end of a lawn cut that I needed to pick up (with a child-size rake) the line of grass when there was enough of it to warrant removal.
The Black and Decker packed up after nearly ten years, and cannot be replaced, but I do wish that Flymo could just address their clog-and-drop-out problem and so achieve a pretty much fault-free hover mower that can do its job really well.

Does what it says on the tin, 26 April 2005

No complaints whatsoever. I was fed up with my larger mower that collects the grass - it's heavy and our front lawn slopes. This new mover doesn't collect the grass, but it's light and cuts very well. As long as you don't think it will collect the grass, it's perfect.
