The Flymo EasiGlide 300 performs well as a basic, entry-level electric mower for smaller lawns and budgets. Its lightweight and compact design makes it highly maneuverable for navigating around obstacles. While the small grass collection box may require more frequent emptying, this is offset by the mower’s light weight which some users will appreciate. The design of the Flymo range is to have a simple economy lawn mower that is very light. And at 8.2 Kg it is hard to find a mower any lighter. This has meant that they have done away with the wheels, and there is far less manual effort involved in pushing the machine over the grass. I assessed the mower’s cutting performance in both long and short grass, taking note of how evenly it trimmed different areas of the lawn. Special attention was paid to how well it navigated around trees and garden beds. The fixed cutting height adjustment does limit versatility for uneven lawns but homeowners can find a suitable setting for their needs. And once set, most owners are unlikely to change it frequently. The flat, replaceable blade is easy to sharpen yourself if needed, though replacement blades are inexpensive so it’s not really worth the effort.

Metal blades prolong the lifespan of the cutting edge that is up against a lot of wear and tear from small stones and dirt. Over periods of time, even small objects wear down the width of a blade that will eventually make the machine unbalanced and if not corrected or replaced may lead to damaging the motor. Quiet (for a hover) – Let’s face it, hovers are always pretty noisy in comparison with standard electric rotary mowers but this one isn’t too bad at all. Not silent obviously, but the noise it produces isn’t a nuisance either. The Flymo EasiGlide 300 uses a 1300-watt motor; this means that there are no issues with flat batteries hampering the performance of the machine. Furthermore, there is no need to refuel the machine, making it a greener and quieter alternative to a petrol mower. Power Cable 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 no in use. This is a nice touch from Flymo as it saves you having to carry the mower to the shed or garage. Safety FeaturesAdjustable 4 cutting heights are offered on this Flymo EasiGlide 300 and range between 10mm and 30mm, in 5mm increments. Once you have the correct height, it is unlikely that you will want to change it again. EasiGlide 300 uses a combination of 3 spacers to change the cutting height. Its 4 cutting heights ranging from 10 to 30mm allows you the flexibility to find the perfect height for your lawn, with the long life metal blade ensuring a neater cut and tidy finish to your lawn.

Quality Motor– The 1300 watt motor you have got on the mower is pretty powerful in relation to the size and weight of the mower. This allows it to glide really well across your lawn, making pushing it a pleasure rather than a pain. A blunt blade will also result in a sloppy cut and take longer to cut the grass. Flymo uses simple flat blades, with chamfered edges, and replacements are inexpensive and easy to find and replace. Flymo EasiGlide 300 VideoIt’s 10m cable gives you the freedom and flexibility to move around your garden area, without the need to worry about reach, and the flat folding handles allow the mower to hang up on the wall for space saving storage after use. Adequate cable length – You get 12 metres of cable with this mower which is actually pretty decent compared to some of the similar mowers on offer at the moment, as many of them only have 10 metres of cable. I am sure for many of you that extra 2 metres will come in real handy! Lightweight – Its only 8.5kgs which is great if you aren’t build for lugging heavy loads around. It’s easy to push whilst in use, its light enough to carry to and from the lawn and its light enough to make storing it easy. Triple bonus! Easy to store – The combination of the compact design and the folding handle means you’ve got yourself a mower with a very small storage footprint. If space is at a premium then the Flymo Easi Glide 300V will help you out.
