That electric mower is perfect for the person who has a little yard. It cut nicely and you can be done in 10 mins or less. Plus you don't have to store gasoline and the expense for that. Nice video. Always a bright spot in our day when we see you on. Grass with comedy!

Dont worry Tim, Flymo in the UK are pretty well known and trusted for electric mowers. i feel the sense of stress, almost PTSD when mowing with electric mowers. as a kid i would mow the lawn/grass and it was hard work. Now as a "grown up" and a home owner, i choose petrol mowers as its so much easier than electric and, in my opinion, give a much better finish on the cut.

Well, that certainly was interesting. Hey, it got the job done, that's all that's important. I'm in the states, and I have a very small grassy area behind my pool, but it's up 3 steps and I got tired of hiking the mower up the steps, so I bought a Black & Decker 3 in 1, which is a combo string trimmer, edger and lawn mower. You can get it in corded or cordless. I chose the battery op, and you can adjust the height and the string trimmer snaps into the base with a foot pedal, and gives a great cut, weighs nothing at all and I don't get a hernia dragging a lawn mower up 3 steps for a very small job. It's handy, you cut the grass, snap out the trimmer, edge and trim, has an auto spool feeder also. There's something for everybody these days , and it works fine for my needs.

I found a 2 stroke Flymo in SF around 1985, it was fun to use but ended up selling it and just use string trimmer. I noticed your gas meter and water service is in the middle of your lawn unprotected, could be kicked over wearing a pair of slippers, the pipes should be protected with pvc coverings and metal pipes in the ground to protect it at a minimum , it looks like hell in the middle of the lawn. In the states the gas meter would be built into a plywood box under your stairs or built into the front of your house and vented and protected with small doors . The water meter would be in a cement box flush with the sidewalk, both with electronic reading. The high class neighborhoods to live in, the grass would be cut with a mostly a gas mower with a bag to pick up cuttings because they turn yellow when cut and a nice cut dark green lawn with sharp edges looks great.

I remember as a kid seeing the old lady next door using a flymo.. this was in the eighties, I thought it was witchcraft 🧙🏻‍♀️😁

I like the flymo. My dad had one in the 80s, here in the U.S.

I have spent probably 500 hours using a 2 or 4 stroke hover mower over the last 25 years cutting grass at a friends large property. There are three areas where they excel above all other mowers; 1/ They are brilliant on steep slopes and around the sloping margins of golf bunkers and ponds. 2/ They are great on small irregular shaped pieces of grass where its tricky to mow in a straight line. This is because they cut sideways so well and because you can mow in an arc without moving your feet 3/ Around trees. Its around trees where they are underappreciated. The area I cut has about 120 small and medium closely spaced ornamental trees. I can stand in one position and cut all around a tree without moving my feet. I have timed it and I can cut around trees about 80% faster with a hover mower than a small cylinder or rotary which matters for me when I have so many to cut around.

So it looked like u were using a vacuum to mow, great job either way!

Flymo is big here in England. Personally I don’t like them for the same reason as you - hate the cables and lack of power, but great for tiny gardens and on slopes.

Actually, you don't know when you might need and electric and power combination, if other power doesn't exist. That mower sounds like a vacuum cleaner though....Had a good used, $10, electric mower once, tied a knot in the cord connection too. It did a good job on basic simple mowing.
