Flymo Glider Compact 330AX Electric Hover Collect Lawn Mower - 1700W, 33cm Cutting Width, 22L Grass Box with Vision Window, Foldable Handles , Orange

Product Information

The Flymo Glider 330 is designed to make mowing lawns easy. Its hover design and lightweight build make it suitable for virtually any user – especially those that struggle with heavier lawn mowers. What does make it to the grass box is easy enough to dispose of, although here is where I found another build quality issue. An orange flap (lid) connected to the main body of the mower is supposed to clip to the top of the grass box. I found that the plastic it is made from is so flimsy that it is virtually impossible to connect it on both sides without it springing out of position. Grass Box -At first glance you might think that you’ve not actually got a grass box on this mower. However you have, it’s just located inside the main body of the mower. This offers one big advantage over external grass bags – it compacts the mower. This is useful for both storage purposes and getting into tight corners of your garden. By creating a cushion of air that allows the lawn mower to hover just above the grass, the machine feels very lightweight, making it easy to operate for anyone that may struggle with heavier lawn mowers.

Flymo’s EasiGlide 330 (VX) is the big brother of the EasiGlide 300 and offers a large 1700W motor and some extras that make it more user-friendly. The mower uses a hover system to reduce effort when moving around your lawn and it is aimed at small to medium garden sizes. The Flymo EasiGlide 330 has a respectable 33cm cutting diameter with an integrated 20 litre grass collection box and weighs in at only 8.2kg. EasiGlide 330 Basic vs EasiGlide 330VX – What’s the Difference? However, I estimated that it collected only half to two thirds of the grass it mowed and sadly theFlymo EasiGlide Plus 330Vleft a mess wherever it went. If grass collection is a high priority then I would recommend you avoid a hover mower entirely and go for a Stihl RMA 235, which actually vacuums it up as it goes. Considering the size of lawns that this machine is intended for, a 10 metre cable is an acceptable length to offer but could have been a little longer.

Next Day & Named Day DeliveryIt is especially handy for older gardeners or anyone that gets easily fatigued from repetitively mowing theirs lawn. The ergonomic design of the lawn mower further helps with usability – it weighs under 10kg and comes with a sizeable 12m mains cable for easy manoeuvrability. Taller operators may find it little uncomfortable to use this mower for longer periods as the handlebars cannot be extended. This is standard across most mowers at this price point and means that the operator may find themselves bending over the machine to push it. Conversely, the autumn and winter months see less regular mowing, but the grass can become much longer, so more length needs to be removed when you eventually get a chance to mow your lawn. A folding handle converts 135 centimetres down to a convenient 69 centimetres for storage. The Flymo EasiGlide 330 is lightweight, so lifting it onto a high shelf is possible for most people’s ability. And the small grass box window (VX models) makes it easy to see when the cuttings need disposing of. Another great feature for Flymo Glider 330 is its adjustable cutting heights. A total of four cutting heights are available, ranging from 12mm to 32mm. This is helpful in a number of ways, such as allowing you to adjust the height mid-mow should you come across a more uneven section of your lawn that needs more or less height removed.

Flymo Glider 330 Review – How Did It Perform?

There are two versions of the EasiGlide 330, the Basic and the VX model. The difference is simply that the VX version has a vision window and the Basic model does not. Apart from that, they have the same features and dimensions. Main Features

Flymo are one of the leading manufacturers of garden equipment in the country. Their lawn mowers are known for their reliability and affordable prices, making them one of the go-to options for many people seeking new lawn mowers that are corded and strimmers. This mower is also equipped with a unique central height adjustment dial, dual lever handles, handy cable storage and easy fold handles for an easy to use and convenient garden maintenance machine. Features and Benefits Height Adjustment – Changing the cutting height on this mower will take you a few minutes. You need to shut the mower off, unplug it and then flip it over. You get plastic spacers in the box with this mower and you need to use these to get a closer cut.By adding spacers underneath the blade, the blade is lowered and your grass is cut shorter. In total you’ll find three spacers in the box and you can cut from 12 mm to 32 mm.

How To Return A Product Easy to move– This lightweight lawnmower floats on a cushion of air making it highly manoeuverable. Great for uneven ground or difficult to manoeuvre obstacles. Another reason this could be happening is because the grass is too wet. You should always avoid cutting the grass in damp or wet conditions especially when using an electric lawnmower. Another great feature of the EasiGlide range of mowers is the inclusion of a roller at the front of the mower. This is not to produce a stripy lawn but to assist in wheeling the mower around when not in use. This is a nice touch from Flymo as it saves you having to carry the mower to the shed or garage. In the real world, most operators will not change the cutting height once they have found the ideal position.

If you have a small to medium-sized garden that is generally flat then I would highly recommend you consider buying this lawn mower. It’s affordable, really easy to use and provides a good quality finish in a variety of different conditions. Just remember that if you want to use it on a medium-sized lawn, it does only have a 12 m cord built in, so you’ll have to buy an extension cord (they are pretty cheap these days anyway). Flymo Glider 330 Review – Who Shouldn’t Buy This Mower?

Grass collection– An easy to empty 22L grass collection box with a vision window collects the grass to make post mowing clear up a lot easier. Metre Cable – Cables can be a bummer but over time you get used to them and develop a system to use them effectively. This particular model comes with a 12 m cable, which I feel is a little on the short side. The cutting width of this mower is perfectly adequate for a medium-sized lawn but without the use of an extension cable you would struggle to reach it all. This is in stark contrast to many wheeled machines such as the Mountfield Electress 38Li Kit or the Cobra MX41 that simply have a handle on the side that allows you to select a setting within a few seconds. If you frequently have to change cut length, we would strongly suggest that this is not the machine for you. Additional features Despite having a larger motor, the grass box capacity is the same at 20 litres, which is still more than sufficient for trimming a small lawn. The lid of the grass box has a clear screen installed, that the operator can use to judge when the box is full and in need of emptying. Flymo EasiGlide 330 Practicalities
