Flymo Rollermo Lawn Mower (Old Version)

Product Information

It’s ok for a small garden but if you wanted to take on a medium sized lawn with this mower you might find yourself needing an extension cable.

In the 1970s when Flymo was taking off, production of their innovative floating mowers was moved to Durham in the UK, where it remains to this day. Unfortunately, in this case hype did not equate to sales, likely because Americans by the 80s were already set in their ways when it came to mowers and didn’t want any of those fancy-pants European mowers messing with their lawns.Good size grass box – The grass box on this mower isn’t the best but having said that you really can’t complain about the capacity you get. Then just guide the mower up and down your lawn, moving away from the power point as you go and you’ll have the job done in no time. Flymo lawn mowers came to be after Swedish inventor Karl Dahlam was inspired by the invention of the hovercraft in the mid-1960s.

The real meat and potatoes here (cutting performance and grass collection) are top quality which is the most important thing. Today, they offer corded and cordless push mowers, hover mowers and a highly regarded robotic mower. When the company expanded into standard push mowers and robotic mowers, those too were manufactured out of their Durham UK facility. I mean, usually electric mowers are on the quiet side but the noise this one produces is pretty noticeable.Of course this doesn’t have any impact on its performance, it’s just more of an inconvenience than anything. So if you’ve already looked at the Venturer 32 and liked the look of it but thought it was a tad on the heavy side, then the Rollermo is a good alternative. Motor – This mower has a 1000 watt motor, which in relation to the size and weight of the mower is pretty impressive and this definitely helps in terms of cutting ability. While I can’t say Flymos are made in the US, Husqvarna deserves at least some credit for not moving production from the UK to China like so many of its competitors.

But there isn’t time or space here to get into a lengthy history of Husqvarna, so I’ll stick to Flymo. h=210 amp amp amp amp amp amp crop=1 amp amp amp amp amp amp w=450 amp amp amp amp amp amp ver=00000000T000000 alt= edges and stripes title= class= img-responsive / amp amp amp amp amp gt Edges and stripes Rear roller helps create stripes into the lawn, and makes for easy cutting over edges. It obviously doesn’t produce them to the same standard as a cylinder mower, but nevertheless the effect it produces is very easy on the eyes.It also cuts to the edges well which is great as it means you probably won’t have to get the edger out post-mo, which obviously saves you time.
