Flymo Speedi-Mo 360C Electric Wheeled Lawn Mower, 1500 W, Cutting Width 36 cm, Orange/black

Product Information

The very well-known bright orange Flymo lawn mowers have always been present in homes across the UK. However, since this design is targeted at medium-to-large gardens and claims to have exceptional tall grass cutting abilities, I took this mower to a friend’s house whose lawn is bigger than mine (at least three times the size) with taller grass.

Users are very pleased with the performance and capabilities of the lawn mower and they are very happy with the adjustable height of the blade that goes from 2 to 6cm. Even though the mower isn’t particularly heavy (weighing just 11.5 kg), it felt much heavier to turn around. As the grass box filled up, a slight resistance was noticeable. It was no problem though as I simply walked a bit slower and pushed harder. Finding the perfect mower among the various models on the market is not an easy task. A good mower should come with a metal blade and a large grass box, be lightweight, durable and easy to manoeuvre. These characteristics can all be found in the Flymo Speedi-Mo 360C wheeled lawnmower. This mower is designed for the British market. My only issue with this electric lawn mower is the 10m power lead. This lawn mower will do 50m gardens so a 10m lead is counterintuitive. You can obviously use an extension lead and go on as far as you like. I would have still rather seen a longer lead, even if this power cord length is about the industry standard. The mower itself is far from standard! Bosch Universal Rotak 550 Electric Rotary Lawnmower ReviewRequires constant pressure on the handle which can make your hands ache after a while, and might require an extension cord The other issue with this lawn mower is that on long grass it can ride up a bit rather than cut through the grass. There’s two reason for this. Eventually the blades dull and so up and over the grass is less resistance than through the grass, as well as how light this lawn mower is. Keeping the blades sharp will counter this considerably and I’ve painted a high quality product in a bad light. It takes a fair amount of time for the blades to dull so you can look forward to comfortable use for many months to come before worrying about maintenance.

You can leave your grass longer during summer to prevent it from yellowing and cut it shorter on colder days. Read more about the different types of mower and where best to use them here. On a related note… In fact, they are so reliable and quiet about their business that we take them for granted, they now have more power than some petrol lawn mowers, they also come with incredible freedom ( cordless lawn mowers) but that’s for another review, and they cannot be beaten on price point. In short, if you can put up with a power cord then you will bag a bargain for sure today. Best electric lawn mower While this wasn’t an obvious feature, the grass box is also fitted with a small window. Looking through the window tells you how full the box is and helps you determine whether it needs emptying. Windows aren’t as effective as the flaps that rise and fall to indicate when the box is close to overloading, but it still makes it easier to keep an eye on things.

This mower is a bit noisy compared to the battery-powered Ryobi RLM 18X33H40 lawn mower. However, you will notice there is little handlebar vibration unlike you would experience while using other mowers from other brands. All the cut grass goes into the 40L grass box. This large box compacts the cut grass, minimizing the number of times you have to empty it.

It’s a little known law that in fact in the UK we are protected by a six year guarantee, though this is never enforced on a day to day basis and would result in catastrophic price increases, or companies selling electric lawn mowers and going bankrupt, only to open up the next day under a new name to void warranties. So the 12 months is both reasonably adequate and fair enough for us to know that we originally bought a working item. It also allows us to factor this into the price. Electric lawn mowers for sale: UK Performance The problem I had with the collection box is that the port would clog with grass more often than I would have liked, but this can be solved by just using the mulching plug instead. The power cable measures 10 metres. This long cable makes it easier for you to mow a large lawn without having to add an extra power cord. Performance The box, like the rest of this electric lawnmower feels durable and well put together. The plastic is high quality and I’m sure it’ll be pretty hard wearing and last a long time. Flymo offer a 2 year warranty with their products anyway, and are known for good customer service so there’s no need to worry there.The adjustable height cut slightly outperforms the Flymo at 20-70mm rather than 20-60mm with a larger range but in reality it’s almost identical and you won’t notice 10mm, neither will the grass! It’s slightly smaller in cutting span but not at all noticeable in practical terms. It has a huge grass collection box which is practical and very efficient. The Speedi-Mo 360C is small, so it doesn’t require much storage space. To put it away, remove the grass box and handles, then store it away in your shed. This little beauty is solid, and the same quality is found throughout, even down to the plug feeling heavy duty and having an anti-snap grommet on the bottom.
