Flymo Hover Vac 260 Electric Hover Lawn Mower, 1400 W, 26 cm Cutting Width, 15 Litre Grass Box

Product Information

The size of the cutting width will be determined largely by the size of your lawn. The cutting width of hover mowers range between 25cm and 36cm, so it is essential to choose one that is suitable for the square meterage and terrain of your lawn and the storage space you have available. Hover mowers are highly manoeuvrable and can easily reach nooks and crannies that traditional mowers may struggle with These work by forcing a cushion of air, between the cutting blade, and the actual ground underneath. That is why they give a hovering effect. The air keeps the blades from digging down into, and damaging the grass. There is no striper or roller on this model. And the reduced weight means that it will be less effective in producing a striping effect than the heavier Flymo Hover Vac 280 model. Grass Box Capacity Working days are defined as Monday-Friday 8am-7pm inclusive, excluding Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays.

Flymo Hover Vac 250 Review – (260 - Lawn Mower and Garden

This Flymo has a 28 centimetre cutting diameter that works out to 0.78 square metres cutting area per rotation. Though as with all the Flymo range, it will take more than one pass of the cutting area to trim all the grass beneath the blade. Roller (Stripes) Some non-collection hover models force the cut grass out from under the lip and across the lawn. On the other hand, the cut and collect versions of hover mowers now have an integrated grass collection box within the main body, and have improved the blade design for more effective collection and that requires less passes due to a sharper precision cut. Hover mowers have fewer moving parts than traditional mowers, making them easier to maintain and repair For smaller gardens that is usually enough. If that is not long enough then you will need a good quality extension lead. Another great feature of the Flymo Hover Vac 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 not in use. This is a nice touch from Flymo as it saves you having to carry the mower to the shed or garage.
