Flymo TurboLite 400 Electric Hover Lawn Mower Review Just to point out this model is considerably heavier than it’s sister at 6.9kg as opposed to 5.5kg the Turbo Lite 250 weighs in at. This is absolutely not noticed at all though when in operation and if anything, I would say the additional weight is a slight bonus holding the machine down slightly more firmly and thus giving a slightly better cut. This is only anecdotal but I do believe it.

The lead supplied is far too short, but fortunately I still have the old one. The plastic cowl is proportionally much wider than the blade than the 300 so quite difficult to guess the mowing line. Finally, the method of securing the handle in an upright or horizontal position has changed. Now you have to bend down and squeeze against a significant spring pressure, rather than simply lifting the handle and dropping into a recess. Do you want a cordless hover mower that cuts grass efficiently on slopes, inclines, or uneven ground? Are you in love with hover mowers but want more freedom and have a large garden? Do you let the grass get a bit long occasionally? Following on from the long grass, do you find yourself cutting in the wet? Do you want a petrol powered lawn mower with the manoeuvrability and ease of use you can only normally get from an electric hover mower?

It cuts from 10mm up to 30mm depths, truthfully, with my ground being uneven I go for the highest setting. I would scalp my lawn in patches otherwise. The cable is ideal in length, if you need an extension, you probably want a bigger model. Overall, I feel they designed this one above their usual high standard.

Maskinen er udstyret med fem forskellige højdeindstillinger. Maskinen kan slå græs, der er ned til 15mm højt. Derfor er græsslåmaskinen også én af de bedste maskiner til kort græs. Maskinen kan klippe græs, der er op til 41mm. You have to wonder did Flymo benefit from better times?
