Bought a flymo hover as I thought it may be easier as I am aging. I got it out for the first time and yes it moves over the ground easily, thats as good as it gets it hardly cuts the grass and what it does cut it blows all over the place and picks up very little, this leaves me with a brush sweeping up paths and patio. I have tried 2 spacers as supplied all the way up to 4 no better. It is a waste of money and I think I am going to have to invest in another (not flymo) mower in order to cut the grass.
Two years in a row I've had to buy a new Flymo Easiglide 300 because they don't winter well in my garden shed and the motor fails within 5 minutes of reuse in spring. Very poor product - I will never buy Flymo again. They are living now off their former good name. Cheap rubbish.

I have purchased three Flymo items in the last 20 yrs. A Flymo hover lawn mower which worked well for 18yrs, a Flymo garden vac, which I'm still using, and a 18months ago replacement Flymo hover mower. I have always looked after them and cleaned them after use - which I think is essential. Unfortunately the mover that I bought recently suddenly stopped working, and although it had a 2yrs warrany the shop (Homebase) where I bought it had gone out of business. As a consequence I wasn't very confident about getting any help from Flymo, but I had kept both the receipt and the Flymo instruction leaflet. I used the contact telephone number provided, and was transferred to a customer service in Germany. Following the exchange of reasonable information, fault symptoms, my receipt and the product label stuck to the machine, I was told that they would deal with the matter. Five days later I was told that they would provide a replacement within 10 - 14 days. Today, 6 days later, I had my brand new Flymo Hover Mower delivered to my door. From the outset, the people I spoke to on the telephone at Flymo Customer Service just couldn't have been more helpful and just 'nice'. To my mind you can't get better than that! Reflecting back over my purchases, I have been extremely pleased with what I've purchased, though obviously unlucky with the last one. But having said that, in my view the customer service support was exceptional. Thank you Flymo!!
I purchased a Flymo 360 in September 2024 and upon using it found the belt to be slipping. Flymo gave me an authorisation code for Homebase to replace it. I've had one years usage from it and it appears that the motor has burnt out. After several messages including some assistance from Customer Services in the form of the original authorisation code and a reference number to their internal documentation, they have agreed to replace the second unit. JJ keep pushing them and using Customer Services to support you.
Had to replace my Flymo EasyGlide 360 in 2024 while still under warranty. Flymo made this very difficult despite immediately registering the product. Eventually they agreed to replace when I produced proof of purchase. The new replacement EasyGlide 360 which is less than 2 years old has now smoked & stopped working & Flymo refuse to replace it as they go with the date of purchase of the original mower. SO Flymo mowers last less than 2 years!!!!DISGRACEFUL waste of money.Cheap nasty product despite all the reviews stating it’s the best hover mower. It’s most certainly not.
Tried to register warranty via telephone using the instructions on their pamphlet supplied with the item. But the registration line cuts off not available.So tried registering warranty via the alternative email address for registration as supplied via the pamphlet, waited but no reply!. *Still Waiting!.Item is an Electric Flymo Hedge Strimmer. Model is Esicut 500 . 9705463-01
Well I have just purchased this item to replace a 9 year old previous version of the same. Upon assembly and test it failed to run. Disassembled and rebuilt, failed to run. Hmmm not an auspicious start. Tried for third time lucky it worked then stopped, at this point I should have packed it up and sent it back, but the engineer in me forced me to investigate. Unlike the previous model, one has to attach the impellor protection grill by means of rotating anf locking into place with a retained sprung thumb screw. The problem here is that there is a lug on said grill that is supposed to locate into a tiny slot that houses a micro switch. This is to stop the unit being powered up without said grill ( or vac bag as that to has similar lug to actuate micro switch) , I could see that the lug was fouling on the moulding therefore preventing it to slot in . A slight bend and in it went and the tool powered up. This is a less than ideal arrangement. I am all for safety but any device fitted to improve safety has to be fit for purpose. On first real use, I noticed how flimsy the plastic handle is, due to the reduced thickness and/or properties of the moulded part. The previous Orange Flymo (now red ) was more substantial, yes it added to the weight but frankly a little more weight and 9 years use seemed a small trade off. This will not last 9 years and probably won't make it through the 2 year warranty
