Flymo EasiGlide 300V a good domestic lawnmower

Flymo EasiGlide 300VThis replaces my old 330 lawn mower which had lasted me for 5 plus years. The motor still works but the blade securing bolt sheared off half way through cutting my front lawn, plus the bearing were on their way out and the cable is getting a bit brittle so I decided on a new one rather than repair.The packaging was very poor, this was either previously a display item at Argos or it was a return, the protective bags and sleeves were just thrown in the box, the orange casing is scratched with a particularly noticeable deep scratch. However, it works perfectly fine, so I won't be returning it.Contrary to some reviews saying that securing bolt cannot be unfastened, I also had a similar issue, yes it was very tight, possibly machine tightened! I did thought I was going to break the plastic tool, so I used an adjustable spanner. It is now very easy to change the spacers as required using the plastic tool.The fan intake does not get any more clogged than my old Flymo 330, you simply clean it when you empty the basket, just like I did on my old one. Nor does the mower scatter cuttings any worse than the old model. Like the old model, I also use it to pick up leaves and other debris. Hence, I haven't felt the need to buy a garden vacuum/blower.I do not like this design, the old model the arms folded down on themselves for easy storage under the bench, this model they do not. The cable stowage was also much better as it was on a spring loaded clasp, much easier to remove. I am thinking of modifying the arm and the cable stowage, knowing that it will void the 2 year manufacturer warranty. Dare I risk it? I’ll see how much of an inconvenience it becomes.So far I have only used it once, yes I am generally pleased with it, it is very efficient and leaves the garden very clean and tidy. The rollers on the front do enable you to stripe your lawn. I hope that this mower lives up to the longevity and clean cutting of my previous 330.

Do not buy there products

There customer services is appalling. Needed a transformer for a robotic lawnmower which is only 6 months old 4 weeks later and still waiting. They won't answer phone sent them emails won't reply. I will never buy flymo or any other make they own. Wish I had read reviews about them before ordering.

We only have a small lawn

We only have a small lawn. So thought the flymo vac 270 would be perfect. NO!!. We had a new lawn put down this yr. When it was time to cut it we got a new mower. It's dug the garden up in 4 places. Not Impressed it's the worst mower we've had. DONT BUY!!! We got our money back.

Powervac 3000 stopped working

Powervac 3000 stopped working, tried calling customer service, but nobody answered. Sent an email to customer services quoting product and serial number as requested, they said they can't access their registration database and require proof of purchase, which I no longer have. So a company the size of Flymo expects customers to hold on to tiny pieces of paper for two years, but they can't even access their own database! Absolute joke and complete rip off.

Never buy Flymo cordless lawnmower, Awful

Purchased Flymo cordless lawnmower this summer as my old Bosch one broke after many years of service. This lawnmower is awful to say the least. It cannot cut grass more than 2 mm long. It splatters grass all over the lawn and nearby surfaces. The battery runs for less than half an hour and then takes 2-3 hrs to charge. It takes the whole weekend’s commitment to cut the grass on my small lawn. It’s completely useless. DO NOT BUY! I have lost my money and never buying one of their products again. I can’t give them less than one star, but if I could I would give them minus 5!

Lawnmower assembly and instructions appalling

I wish I had read these reviews before buying the Simplistore 300Li Lawnmower since I thought I was buying a longstanding and trusted brand. I haven’t even used it yet so can’t comment on that, so am just going to limit my remarks to the assembly. I am an older person and this lightweight easily storable mower seemed exactly what I needed. However although I expected to put together the handle, box etc, I did not expect to need a degree in engineering to assemble small parts, screws, springs etc. Not only that but it required someone with extremely strong hands to hold the sprung section in place while attaching other parts. Further to that, the paper instructions are a joke, so complex and confusing as being almost impossible to follow. I won’t go into all the aspects of bad design here, but Flymo should be sacking this graphic designer and employing someone able to communicate through text and image, these instructions should never have been approved for public use. Although I haven’t yet used the mower, I eventually worked out that in order to change the cutting height you have to turn the mower over and physically re-position the wheels! – why? It turns out that the next model up has a lever – again why on earth not just design all with a simple lever? There is no mention of this in the description and I certainly would not have purchased this model if I had realised. So many problems on so many levels, what has happened with this company?

EasiGlide 300

EasiGlide 300Like another reviewer I found the bolt holding the blade had been screwed on so tight the tool supplied would not undo it! Luckily I have a plumber wrench but still drew blood try to use the supplied tool.Mower is not as solid as the same model I bought several years ago, definitely cheaper to produce, and they have also shortened the power cable by several feet. I doubt if will last as long as the last one.
