Part 3: Flymo Easi Glide 330 Review – Features / Pros / Cons

Flymo 33cm Easi Glide Hover Lawnmower 1400W

Main Features Available

It provides a mow cutting path of 33cm and a power level of 1400W and it operates on a cushion of air with a metal blade. It is suitable for small and medium sized gardens only plus it is a corded version for power with a 12m cable included as standard. There are front roller wheels to help with transport when not in use and it is light weight coming in at 8.8kg

This Hover mower includes a grass box with a collection capacity of 20L and it provides you with 4 different mow height settings that range from 1cm to 3cm. It includes the double handed switchbox for left or right-hand use

If you need a vision window, consider the 1450W or the 1800W models instead and there are also spacers and a spanner is included for height adjustments. The price when last seen on sale with Argos was in the £85 to £115 bracket (plus a Free Trimmer valued at approx. £30) which of course can be double checked below

Further Images with Features are outlined below:

Main Pros Outlined:

• The big attraction here is that there can be a free trimmer valued at approx. £30 included when you buy (seller dependant)
• Another big attraction is that there is zero assembly work needed – it’s ready to go straight from the box
• Cable length here of 12m is 2m longer than the Hovervac 280
• Extremely light piece of equipment to work with as the weight is around 9kg so it can be carried around quite easily
• Ideal for areas around steep slopes, uneven ground, banks or areas hard to reach by rotary lawn mowers
• When not in use, you can use the front roller wheels to bring it to your required destination and the rear handle allows it to be carried easily also
• No charging of batteries, spare batteries, fuel or ongoing maintenance costs to worry about.
• Environmentally friendly alternative to petrol lawn mower with no toxic fumes
• Noise level is considerably lower than petrol mowers which is great if you have neighbours living close by.
• If you are left or right handed, you can adapt it via the double handed switchbox
• Not only does it collect the grass, it will also compact it which means less time is spent emptying
• Perfect for people who have limited storage space in their sheds as it folds away easy in a compact format
• Although not the perfect Hover model for everyone, many people recommend it strongly and the price level gives good value for the amount you have to pay

Main Cons Outlined:

• The width is 3cm narrower than the UltraGlide which means more mow passes are needed on your end
• Warranty available is only 12 months where McGregor offer 2 years for theirs.
• Grass box has a lower capacity then the Glider 1450W of 6L and lower than the UltraGlide 1800W by 10L
• Confusion over the vision window – stated as being available in some places but is not – only available with the 1450W Glider and the UltraGlide
• The length of the cable is shorted than the UltraGlide by 3 metres so plan ahead for this if needed
• No rear roller is available for the striped effect plus no mulching capabilities for composting grass cuttings back into the soil.
• Cannot be used for long grass, damp grass or large gardens – otherwise you need to start looking elsewhere
• Limited work area to the length of the cable or extension cord so check your garden dimensions first
• You must learn to master the technique of avoiding the cord on your cutting paths as you work but gets easier once you get the hang of it.
• The free trimmer that can be included is very lightweight and is not suitable for thick grass or heavy duty work. Plus is only available with limited stocks so it’s not always guaranteed and the line could be better and stronger
• Getting an 100% even cut at times can be difficult to achieve and many reported too much grass was left uncollected meaning additional work to clean up afterwards especially around patio areas / driveways
