In terms of overall construction, the mower feels very mid-range. It does not feel as sturdy as models such as the Cobra MX41 40V but it does cost less. Some of the plastics do feel a little soft or a little scratchy, but it certainly does not feel like a budget product that will break within a few months. I actually thought it was a significant upgrade on the slightly smaller Flymo Easistore 300R Li that I tested last year. Weighing only 2.5kg the cordless Flymo 18V EasiTrim 250 is a lightweight grass trimmer for moderate use. Compatible with a 18V Power For All battery and charger, it has a run time of 28 minutes and features an LED display to show battery status. The 18V EasiTrim 250 has a 1.5mm line which cuts up to 25cm. For a neat finish, it also has an edging mode and plant guard. A simple single lever for easy adjustments to the cutting height and an extra transport position of the handles to make it easy to move around the garden with ease Only 2.89g in weight the new Flymo 18V EasiCut 450 cordless hedge trimmer is super lightweight and has a central handle to ensure flexible and comfortable manoeuvring when trimming hedges. Key features also include a 45cm dual action blade with 16mm wide blade gaps as well as an LED display to show battery status. Alternatively, for wider blade gaps opt for the corded 500W power EasiCut 520 hedge trimmers which have a wider blade gap of 19mm respectively.

I found the Flymo Easistore 340R Li very easy to use. In fact, there was not a single aspect of either set up or use that I would class as being difficult or even particularly challenging. Features such as the cutting height adjuster are very handy and easy to operate. A simple single lever for easy adjustments the cutting height and an extra transport position of the handles to make it easy to move around the garden with ease I also liked the being able to raise or lower the handle bar for comfort and felt that this made using the mower easier on the wrist and the shoulders. It also suits users of any height. The mower itself doesn’t weigh that much (under 12kg) so it doesn’t feel like a chore to push it up and down the garden, even on an incline. I found that mowing a lawn with the Flymo Easistore 340R Li was a very pleasant experience. The angle of the handle bar is fully adjustable without any tools so you can set it to a comfortable height.The cut length is adjusted using a handle on the front of the machine and takes literally seconds. I really liked this as it completely avoids turning the mower upside down and having to take the blades off and add or remove spacer washers.

What I’ll Cover…

I couldn’t find any accessories that are on sale to go with the Flymo Easistore 340R Li. The main thing that a potential user might consider to go with this model is an extra set of batteries, if they have a larger lawn. With a large collection box of 35L and a full box indicator, you can spend more time mowing and less time emptying clippings.

It's large capacity 35L grass box which collects more grass between emptying with a tongue designed to prevent spilling and also lets you know when its full As expected, the fact that the EasiStore 340R takes so little space when stored seems to impress customers the most. They love how the mower fits nicely in their smaller sheds.Overall, the Flymo EasiStore 340R is a great choice if you’re looking for a compact and lightweight mower that is easy to store away but doesn’t sacrifice on performance. Introducing Flymo’s brand new UltraStore range of cordless rotary lawnmowers powered by 2.5Ah Bosch Power For All Alliance 18V batteries. The brand new 36V UltraStore 340R Kit features premium comfort grip handles with an LED display to show battery status. The dual lever handles can be folded down and the lawnmower can be folded vertically for clever storage and transportation. For ease of use, the 36V UltraStore 340R lawnmower can also be adjusted in height from 20mm to 60mm.

The only problem of this mower is not with the mower itself, but with the assembly. Customers seem to find it difficult to follow the assembly instructions, resulting in a lot of frustration before they get their first mow. The main criticism I found seems to be about the batteries rather than the mower itself. A number of people have complained that they found the batteries failed after 2 or 3 mows and they had to get in touch with Flymo to get them replaced. I had no such issues and the problem may well have been rectified. We tested this model in a variety of different lawn settings and were very pleased with the results. The grass was cut well and the rear roller is great for lawn stripes if you’re trying to impress the neighbours. We found that the 30-minute run time was quite adequate for our medium-size garden and when you use a battery-powered mower, you do realise how much easier it is than worrying where the cable is. The collection of the cut grass was good, certainly compared to a hover mower (which tends to blow clippings everywhere!). Equipped with a 35-litre grass collection box and full grass box indicator, it not only collects grass while mowing but is also equipped with rollers to create a striped lawn finish. Also available for larger lawns with a 45-litre grass collection box are the 36V UltraStore 380R Kit 2.5 with a wider 38cm cutting blade and the 36V UltraStore 380R Kit 4.0 which includes two 4Ah Power For All batteries and two chargers. The clever vertical storage position means it takes up less floor space keeping your shed neat and tidy, or you can simply fold the handles down flat to store away neatly.Designed for small gardens its powered by two 18V Power4All batteries to give 36V performance, which can be shared across a wide range of tools within the Power4All Alliance. However, once things got sorted out and the mower finally got to the lawn, the performance certainly didn’t disappoint. For greater flexibility and control the twin lever handles allow you to operate the machine with either hand comfortably
