Mower Type and Power
Flymo EasiGlide 330
This lawn mower is a hover collect lawn mower fitted with a 1700W motor. It has a 33cm cutting width, which determines how wide each pass can mow, making it suited to maintaining grass areas rather than tackling heavy, overgrown growth. As a hover design, it uses airflow to help the mower glide over the lawn, which can assist with manoeuvring around uneven patches, although performance depends on how level the ground is. With a 33cm cutting width, larger lawns typically require more passes to complete mowing.
Flymo EasiStore 380R
This lawn mower is a corded electric rotary lawn mower, so it depends on a mains power supply rather than a battery. It uses an electric motor, which provides steady power as long as the mains lead stays connected. The main advantage is straightforward start-up and consistent running for small to mid-size lawns where an outdoor socket is close. The mains lead reduces mobility and needs careful cable routing to prevent pulling, tension or accidental unplugging. The rotary design is intended for general grass mowing rather than specialist tasks.
Cutting Width and Deck
Flymo EasiGlide 330
With a 33cm cutting width, the Flymo takes about that much grass per pass. That makes it suitable for trimming smaller areas efficiently, but a wider lawn typically requires more overlapping strokes to avoid missed strips. The deck is designed for even surface contact as it moves, which helps reduce patchy coverage when mowing in straight lines. For best results, overlap each pass slightly and alternate direction on subsequent passes to help prevent gaps near edges and around turns. As a hover mower, it stays steady over grass, but uneven ground can affect how consistently it trims.
Flymo EasiStore 380R
A 38 cm cutting width determines how the Flymo covers grass with each pass and how quickly it can mow an area at a steady walking pace. Each run trims a band of lawn, so a wider deck generally reduces the number of trips, while a narrower deck typically needs more overlap. The deck is designed to support close edge cutting, which is useful when mowing near borders. A rear roller helps produce a more even finish by guiding the grass during the cut. Height adjustment is central, which makes changing settings simpler between different sections.
Lawn Size and Collection
Flymo EasiGlide 330
A mower with a 33cm cutting width suits small to medium lawns more neatly, and the lawn mower is designed for that type of mowing because it collects grass into a 20 litre grass box. On larger areas, the grass box will fill sooner than on higher-capacity models, so more frequent emptying can be required. Emptying can be reduced by mowing in wider passes, maintaining a steady pace, and avoiding overly thick growth that can cause clumping. Collected output is best on level lawns, while uneven ground may still require a tidy-up by hand.
Flymo EasiStore 380R
For lawn collection, the lawn mower uses a 45 litre grass box to hold clippings collected during mowing, reducing the need to empty while the box is still below capacity. With a 38 cm cutting width, the mower covers a relatively modest strip per pass, so larger lawns require more mowing passes and additional stop-and-start emptying. Collection performance becomes less efficient as the grass box fills, so mowing is paused to empty the box before continuing from the next section. This setup is best suited to smaller to medium gardens where the box capacity helps limit interruptions.
Ease of Use and Storage
Flymo EasiGlide 330
Ease of use and storage are shaped by how the Flymo handles daily mowing tasks and how it saves space afterward. It is a hover collect lawn mower with a 20 Litre grass box, so emptying the box is part of regular use. The 33 cm cutting width suits small to mid-sized areas, and the 10 m cable length helps reduce how often the mower needs repositioning. During mowing, the user connects the cable and guides the hover deck over grass. For storage, the mower folds flat, helping it fit in sheds or tight cupboards, but the grass box can add bulk, so it should be secured before stowing.
Flymo EasiStore 380R
Setting up the Flymo is straightforward. It is a corded electric rotary mower with central height adjustment and close edge cutting, which supports neat results near borders. A 45 litre grass box reduces how often it needs emptying, but regular checks are still required during longer sessions. For storage, the mower includes space-saving storage features.
Who Is This Lawn Mower For?
Flymo EasiGlide 330
Who is the lawn mower best suited for in the UK? It suits people with small to medium gardens who want an electric hover mower that cuts a 33cm swath in each pass. The 1700W motor and 10m cable length make it practical for lawns that can be reached without heavy extension cords, though exact convenience depends on where the socket sits. A 20 litre grass box collection system fits users who prefer stopping less often, yet they will still need emptying as the box fills.
