Like other lawn mowers, with hover mowers you have the choice of electric (corded), battery (cordless) and petrol power. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, mainly related to weight, mobility and maintenance. Bear in mind that whatever power source you add to the mower unit will increase its weight. Flymo is renowned for its high quality, distinctive bright orange and grey lawn hover mowers. My Buyer’s Guide briefly identifies the features common to most Flymo lawn mowers that give them their reputation for high quality, long service and ease of use. Hover The collection box has a 20L capacity which is not the largest one that Flymo produces, but you shouldn’t have to visit the compost heap to empty the compressed grass clippings too often. As with all Flymo grass mowers, the dual levers on the handlebars give equal opportunity to left- and right-handed operators. Pros Mobility is in the upscale look of your mowed lawn when using this Flymo mower. what I really like is that there is a rear roller that creates the awe-inspiring stripes you see at Wimbledon and on the bowling green, something many models simply don’t have. Pros

As mentioned earlier, the grass collection box has a generous 35L capacity, not the biggest collection box but large enough for smaller lawns. The box has a tongue design on the opening that makes it easy to empty. It’s worth noting the collection box full indicator lets you know how close you are to filling it up. The Flymo Glider Compact 330AX weighs in at 9.4kg, which is easy enough to manage for most medium-sized gardens. Typically, if you want a lighter mower, then you’ll have to go for one without a grass collection box. 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. Designed for small to medium gardens, this a 33cm electric hover mower with a powerful 1700W motor that floats on a cushion of air whilst cutting the grass. Ideal for uneven lawns, the hover system makes this lawnmower easy to manoeuvre to all areas of your grass.The batteries charge to full from completely discharged in three hours, so you may want to have a spare set ready to go if you’re mowing a large lawn. This may be why the manufacturer states that this Flymo cordless mower is best for small to medium size gardens and with a 30cm cutting width we also agree. The cutting width of 30cm supports this garden size, as does the cutting height range of 25mm to 65mm (in three steps), though you won’t get a really close-cropped lawn. The height is adjustable through an easy-to-get-to central lever. We then wanted to look to see how that compared to other products in the Lawn Mowers category. The average review score of all Lawn Mowers is 4.5 / 5. If you’re a fan of the Flymo brand like me, but hover mowers don’t appeal to you, and you’re looking for a rotary mower, maybe for a small lawn. This Flymo EasiMow 340R Electric Rotary Lawn Mower is worth considering. Features a rear roller for those admired grass stripes and provides more stability when mowing the edge of lawns.

Although we then thought we shouldn’t just look at all Flymo products, instead we should be looking at only their products that fall within the Lawn Mowers category.

If you have the serial number available then please select it from the list below to ensure you get the right part first time. Like a lot of people, I’ve also had a few electric Flymo lawnmowers which I use for my own garden in the past. These included the old Flymo Glider 330 and 330 Turbo models. I only have a medium-sized lawn and rather than bringing a mower home from the nursery, it was easier to have a flymo at home just for my garden. My first lawnmower was actually a Flymo some 20 years ago!

Hover mowers are lighter than any other type of mower, and so are easier to manoeuvre around. You don’t have to run them in straight lines, although that is an option, you can move them from side to side or around in circles to create different or even no patterns in your cut grass. The lightest mower in my review is the Flymo Hover Vac 250 Electric Hover Collect Lawn Mower which only weighs around 6.5kg. Power choice As you’ve reached this Flymo Glider Compact 330AX Hover Lawnmower we can probably assume that Flymo is a brand that you’re either happy to buy, or at least consider. The good news is that Flymo is a hugely respected brand and known for making great Lawn Mowers. In fact on average customers review products from Flymo at 4.4 out of 5. 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

The Flymo Glider Compact 330AX has an integrated 22 litre grass collection box, so not as big as the 26 litres on the Glider 330 but much better than the lower-priced models that do without a grass collection box. The Flymo EasiGlide Plus 360V Hover Collect Lawn Mower is a corded mower that’s especially good on sloped lawns or those with non-traditional shapes. Its 1800W/360V capacity supports its use on larger lawns, as does its generous 36cm cutting width. Although you only have a choice of four cutting heights, the lowest one of 10mm is quite a close cut.The box has an easy to see viewing window so you when its time to empty. The grass clippings are compacted as well to ensure that you can minimise trips to the compost heap or waste bin. Manoeuvrability and Storage Its worth noting that the handles are also ambidextrous in that the control levers are on both sides of them. Use either hand to control the mower, depending on what you need to do with the other hand at the time. Pros
