Flymo Micro Lite Hover Mower

Terrible. Noisy, vobrates like mad and the cheap plastic blades keep breaking. AVOID - buy a decent product instead.

I had a small Flymo hover mower which was about 15 years old. This year I decided to replace it with the Flymo Micro Lite - BIG mistake. The new mower can't handle even my handkerchief size patch of grass. The plastic blades are tiny and the edges got pitted by the end of the first mow. It flattens rather than cuts grass which is over two inches long and the cutting area is miniscule so it takes forever to cut a square metre. The lead isn't long enough. It is light to carry but so is a plastic bag, which would probably be as effective at cutting the grass as the Flymo Micro Lite. Don't buy this machine - I am totally unfussy and it doesn't even come up to my low expectations. You'd do better with a pair of nail scissors.

The Flymo Micro Lite mower is very light and simple to use, however the little plastic blades fall out very often. It makes a very loud noise and causes you to stop, search your lawn for the missing blade, then replace it (with the old one or a new one). It doesn't get close enough to the edges (near fences, etc) very well either.

I purchased the Flymo Micro Lite Hover Mower to mow a small lawn next to my house but it could not handle it at all.

It is a hoover mower, as soon as you start it you have a bolt patch where the machine was placed as it needs time to hoover and the plastic cutters brake very easy, the tiniest stone or little branch on the grass was enough to brake them.

My lawn looked very bad after mowing it with this machine and it took me ages as I had to change the plastic cutters a couple of times.

I ended up giving it away to charity within weeks of buying it.
