Flymo Mini Trim 230W electric grass strimmer

Bought the mini trainer 2 weeks ago

Line constantly snaps waste of money

I wish I had read the reviews before bought this machine when I saw it on offer. It is not fit for purpose and I don't know why it is on the shelves for sale at all. I tried to mark with no stars but it wouldn't allow me to do so.

The line breaks continually. I wanted to use to trim edge of lawn. I have given up with this usless item and have been using scissors. Its quicker and reliable. I would recommend people NOT to waste their money.

Absolute rubbish. Line is constantly breaking. Tried several types of line, still no success. I now use just a single line and some improvement, but line still breaks regularly. There is no safety swich, and it can be switched accidently. Do not waste your money. Contacted the makers, but they were very unhelpful and unsympathetic.

spending more time feeding the line mannually than cutting grass. line keeps breaking after approx 20 sec. really had enough of this machine ,total load of rubbish.

The Flymo Mini Trim is the worst strimmer we have ever owned, our front lawn is the size of a stamp and the line snapped 5 times trying to cut it, it would be quicker on hands and knees with shears. Then after only 2 1/2 months it gave up completely!

TheFlymo Mini Trim is the worst trimmer we've owned...constant problems with the line not feeding through and breaking. Our small garden of grass takes 10 minutes to cut - the edges however took us over an hour as the trimmer was so useless! Gave up in the end and are returning to B&Q.

My Flymo Mini Trim 230W electric grass strimmer didn't fulfill the purpose it was supposed to achieve.

Line broke constantly. Used approx two thirds of the spools on a postage stamp of a garden. Also I found it badly designed in that when I tried to edge vertically it was essential to keep the head of the strimmer raised of the grass otherwise the line broke.

It's clear to me that it has not been designed with the vertical cut in mind as there is no 'lug' or handle to hold while cutting in this position.

Flymo Mini trimmer gave very poor performance. Would not cut weeds, in fact it barely managed to cut grass. Line feed gave constant problems, either breaking, or not feeding out, despite going through the various suggestions in the troubleshooting list supplied with the product. After 2 hours of misery, returned the machine for a refund.
