Flymo Ultra Glide Electric Hover Collect Lawn Mower, 1800 W

Product Information

For small lawns (up to 100sqm) you should be ok with a cutting width of around 30 cm, medium lawns (100-250sqm) will need 35-40 cm and larger lawns (250sqm+) will need 40 cm+. Grass Collector Vs Mulching

Although it does leave clippings behind, the Flymo UltraGlide isn’t great at mulching – it doesn’t chop the clippings up into fine pieces to decompose on your grass. Some struggle with keeping the handle continuously in the down position and others found it clogging up far too much especially with damp grass Issues can arise from misfiring spark plugs or carbon build-up. Dirty spark plugs can be a common cause for a petrol lawn mower cutting out so try thoroughly cleaning it, if this doesn't work, it will need replacing. Reports of the mow heights not been low enough for some gardeners even when adjusted to the lowest setting The grass box is very light and easy to carry with its handle. The grass box also can be attached and removed from the mower in seconds.Good range of mow heights are available that range from 1.3cm up as far as 3.2cm so you can start at the higher setting and do a double job if needed at the lower setting Keeping ergonomics in mind when purchasing a lawnmower is always important. Some, but not all mowers have adjustable handles. This is a nice feature to have in a mower because it allows operators of different heights from the same household to comfortable use it. Adjustable handles also make it easier to store away your new device. Some models have handles that can be folded down all the way into the body of the mower. Finally, last but not least I have the Flymo Easistore rotary lawn mower. This mower is a good size for a medium garden with a 10 meter cable and 5 adjustable height settings it can be used all year round.

To set up this mower you have to install a guidewire around the edge of your lawn so the mower knows where to go. This involves pegging it on display which is easier to install but is visible or you can bury it underground. This is more intensive to install and you won’t notice breaks as easily but it will make the garden look tidier. For all the added features and precision cutting of this electric hover mower, it is extremely affordable. Much longer power cable coming in at 15m long which is 5m longer than the Hovervac and 3m longer than the Easi-Glide 330 It is important to note, that these mowers only work for specific lawn types so won’t be a great option for every lawn. This hover lawn mower can’t mulch your grass clippings – it collects them in the grass box. However, it can leave a bit of a mess.If you really take pride in your lawn and are aiming for a high quality finish every time then this is a great option for you. This is a rear roller lawnmower so will achieve that perfect striped finish. A hover lawnmower that can’t pull in enough air will struggle to hover and will feel very heavy. This is often due to a build-up of grass clippings under the hood. Give the mower a sweep out and avoid mowing when the grass is damp to help prevent this issue. Where are Flymo lawnmowers made?

As a larger, heavier mower, designed for medium sized gardens, the Flymo UltraGlide isn’t cheap. It’s not the most expensive hover mower on the market, but you can get smaller Flymo mowers for about half the price of this option. With a 10 meter power cable alongside the generous 30cm cutting width plus 30 litres grass storage is a good recipe for smaller lawns. For larger areas, you can add an extension cable to really maximize the use of this mower. This means it’s not as far-reaching as a cordless lawn mower but it will last a lot longer so may actually be more useful for medium lawns.
