Lawn Mowers

Bosch Rotak 40

Advantages: Easy to assemble, good cut
Disadvantages: a little heavy but to be expected for a large mower

I recently purchased one of these mowers for my Husband as our new house has a 100ft lawn. He is delighted with the cut he gets from this mower. The mower is easy to assemble and takes less than 5 minutes to clip together. Once up and running the motor sounds like a futuristic aeroplane - it sounds so good!! The adjuster lever is on the top of the mower and adjusts by sliding forward and backwards. Very easy. The big cuttings bucket at the rear ...

Review of Bosch Rotak 40

Flymo Turbo 330. I bought this and I KNEW what I was buying!

Advantages: Compact, light, easy to store, grass box, quiet.
Disadvantages: None I have found

First of all, before I start my review I have noticed some others have written comments where they have compared their lawn mower to a previous better one. They have also given negative comments about features they should have known about before purchase, i.e. cable length, cutting width and the fact a grass box will make it heavier in use. There was a negative comment on this where someone said it was heavier than their previous non grass box model...well...duh! ...
...went on to slate features they knew about. If I look at a product before I buy it and it says, "5 metre cable" I'm not going to complain about how short it is am I? Then there was the comment on being inadequate in long grass. Don't let your grass get too long then or use a trimmer for the first cut. Let's look at the description. Please excuse the brash tone, this is directed at those who complain about features they knew about before buying. ...

Review of Flymo Turbo Compact 330

flymo 'pac an mo'..............light and quiet

Advantages: quiet, light in weight
Disadvantages: doesn't cut short enough.

Recently brought this product 2 months ago, it's quite big, handy if you got a huge lawn. I've only used this product once or twice and i'm still finding it hard to use, it's light and easy to push around, They could've made the cord a bit longer especially as its a big lawnmower, obviously it's going to be used for large gardens so not sure why they made it too short. I had to use 2 extension leads to get the lawn mower to the bottom of my garden. ...
...places with this lawnmower and it didn't seem to do it's job right. The grass wasn't cut short enough and i had to go over a few patches more than once. Best thing about this product is the grass collector, you'll never have to use a rake again!!! The grass box can be easily removed and emptied ...

Review of Flymo PAC A MOW

cheap and cheerful lawn mower

Advantages: easy to use and store
Disadvantages: unsuitable for large lawns

...price and suitability. The Qualcast Easi Trak 320 was in the right price range and with positive reviews. The cheapest price was from Amazon at £57.20. This included free delivery within 10 days. I ordered on a Saturday and by the next Wednesday it was on my doorstep - the same day I might have driven to B&Q. The product was well packed. It required assembly but that was very easy to do; I managed it in 15 minutes without even wearing my glasses. ...
...as it has a handle on the top that is positioned at the point of balance. Two palm sized wing nuts enable the handle to be folded back to take up less storage space. While Qualcast is a British name, it is part of the Bosch group. ...

Review of Qualcast EASI TRAK 320

Flymo vision compact 350 a great wee lawn mower reccomended

Advantages: Light weight and compact easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...years ago i had a flymo with plastic blades and i had to continually replace them. It really holds alot of grass for such a compact lawn mower and it has a perspex view to let you know when the box is full. It also is so easy to manouvre around the lawn, my back garden has alot of things to go around and this is where its so much better than the big petrol mower. Disadvantages: None that i can think of apart from the cutting width isnt that big ...
