Flymo Hover Compact 350 - Hover Collect Mower.
Cheap but not so cheerful - After 3 seasons my Flymo has seized up and reading another review site this seems fairly common with this model. Most others seem to have lasted 13 to 24 months.Back to Qualcast for me then as they are confident enough in their products to give a 2 year labour and 5 year parts guarantee.
Easy to use - mowing becomes almost enjoyable! - Bought this a few days ago, it was very easy to set up and it was a dream to use. It doesn t do sideways very well but it ll glide forward and back with very little effort. Some grass does get blown out but most of it ends up nicely compacted in the easy to remove grass basket. I needed to empty the basket four times over a 10m2 area. It has a strong steel blade that cut with efficiency - my garden is no show piece and the cut was generally tidy enough for me. I had a Flymo before this - it lasted fifteen years before the motor blew - I m expecting the same level of quality and reliability from this one. This mower is currently 60 quid at Argos.
