I remember the days when Flymo used to be the go-to manufacturer for lawn mowers and other gardening kit. My father's lawn mower lasted from 1975 to 2017!We purchased a cordless telescopic hedge trimmer last year, similar to the current Flymo Sabre Cut C-Link model. It worked well 3 times, then the battery died! We tried, and our local gardener tried, to source a new battery, but they were like hen's teeth to source and very expensive! In fact that model of battery was no longer manufactured. So, we've had no choice but to scrap a perfectly good strimmer!Our neighbours have advised us that AL-KO is a far more reliable brand, so perhaps we'll try that next year. Or maybe go back to the 'mains' powered variety.Further research has suggested that Flymo bring out new models of cordless tools every year, with slightly different batteries. So, if your battery dies, your only option is to buy a new cordless tool! I wonder if other manufacturers follow the same business strategy for making money. Let's hope AL-KO don't!
