Mower Type and Power
Einhell GE-CM 18/33 Li
This lawn mower is a cordless lawn mower designed to run on an 18V Power X-Change battery. It is classed as a cordless tool, so it runs on its battery rather than mains power, which supports use around the garden without an extension lead. As the motor is described as brushless, it is intended to deliver efficient operation. Power availability is limited by the battery system, so longer sessions may require battery recharging, depending on use and battery capacity.
Flymo EasiGlide Plus 360V
The Flymo is a hover lawn mower, designed to run on a cushion of airflow rather than relying on wheels over uneven ground. It has an 1800W motor, giving it power for mowing general lawn growth when mowing regularly. As a hover model, pushing and handling can feel different because airflow and glide matter more than traction. The 10m cable length affects how far it can reach from a mains supply, so cable positioning and extension use may be important.
Cutting Width and Deck
Einhell GE-CM 18/33 Li
With the mower type and 18V battery system covered, attention now shifts to the cutting width and the deck layout, since these directly affect how much lawn is covered with each pass and how clippings are handled. The Einhell has a 33 cm cutting width, delivering a moderate strip of cut per pass rather than a broad swath. Its deck is set up to feed clippings into the 30 L grass box, helping keep the mowing area tidy. The mower also provides 5 cutting heights, allowing users to match grass length, though the number of height settings limits the scope for very fine adjustment.
Flymo EasiGlide Plus 360V
With a 36cm cutting width, the lawn mower covers a moderate swath with each pass, which can help reduce the number of strokes needed on typical lawn areas. Its cutting width is supported by a compact deck design, suited to routine grass trimming rather than heavy, overgrown work (not stated). For best results, move the mower in steady, overlapping lines, especially near edges, where missed strips can form. A wider deck can feel quicker, but this size still requires careful technique on irregular shapes and tight borders.
Lawn Size and Collection
Einhell GE-CM 18/33 Li
For smaller to medium lawns, a 33 cm cutting width means each pass covers a limited strip, so mowing wider areas takes longer than on models with larger decks. The lawn mower is a cordless lawn mower with a 30L grass box, so grass collection depends on bag capacity as grass volume increases. With lighter trimming and frequent sessions, the grass box is less likely to fill quickly, keeping the workflow steady. With thicker, longer growth, the box can fill faster, so stopping to empty it becomes part of the routine to maintain cutting consistency. Lawn shape also matters, particularly around edges and obstacles.
Flymo EasiGlide Plus 360V
After considering the 36 cm cutting width and the mower's compact deck, attention turns to lawn size and how grass collection is handled. The Flymo is best paired with smaller, manageable areas, because a 36 cm path and a 26 Litre grass box limit how often clippings need emptying. During typical mowing and weeding, as well as when uneven patches are present, clipping volume can increase and the box may fill more quickly. The mower collects grass into the box during cutting, which reduces the need for later raking, but once the box is full, effective progress relies on stopping to empty it rather than continuous collection. A 10 m cable also constrains reach, so longer runs may require repositioning.
Ease of Use and Storage
Einhell GE-CM 18/33 Li
Ease of Use and Storage matter because they affect how often the mower can be used, not just how it cuts. The Einhell is cordless, which makes it easier to start and move around the garden than corded alternatives, and it removes the need to manage a power cable. Operation uses an included 18V battery system, so swapping or charging the battery forms part of routine use. A 30L grass box collection system supports quicker emptying during mowing sessions, although capacity will depend on how quickly the grass box fills in taller growth. For storage, the 33cm cutting width helps it fit in smaller sheds, and it is manageable on a shelf when fully dried.
Flymo EasiGlide Plus 360V
Effort and setup matter, but the lawn mower is designed to be fairly simple to handle because it folds flat for storage and uses a 10 m cable for power reach. Before mowing, the cable route needs to be planned so it stays clear of the hover path and helps reduce tangling risk. Once set up, operation remains straightforward as it is a corded, push-along hover style mower. After use, the 36 cm deck and 26 litre grass box combination is still manageable to move and empty, although the box becomes heavier when full. Storage is compact thanks to the flat folding.
Who Is This Lawn Mower For?
Einhell GE-CM 18/33 Li
Who this lawn mower suits best depends on the type of garden work planned, because the lawn mower is a cordless mower built around an 18V Power X-Change battery system and designed with a 33cm cutting width. It is suited to homeowners with smaller lawns who want a lighter cordless option for regular mowing, since the 33cm deck supports efficient passes and manoeuvring around obstacles. It also fits users who can manage battery charging as part of routine mowing, because cordless operation depends on having a suitable battery available. The 30L grass box suits those who prefer collecting clippings, while multiple cutting heights help when grass levels vary slightly.
Flymo EasiGlide Plus 360V
Who is this lawn mower for, and who might want to look elsewhere? The Flymo EasiGlide Plus 360V is for people who want a corded electric hover lawn mower with an 1800W motor and a 36cm cutting width for medium, manageable lawn areas. The 26 litre grass box suits buyers who prefer collecting clippings rather than leaving them. It is aimed at households that can use a 10m cable and accept wired operation. It may not suit gardeners with very large lawns, uneven ground, or limited access for a mains lead, and those seeking a cordless option or a wider cutting width should compare alternatives.
