...for the grass is my Flymo Turbo Compact 330. But sadly it died last month when a anti mower part of the grass chose to take my faithful 8 year old mower as its new victim.
After it's sad departure from this world - we laid him to rest in our shed and in honour of him we wanted to get a new mower to take the grass out Quentin Tarantino style.
After searching the usual haunts of B & Q (online) which didn't have that much of a range of mower (unless ... ...the Flymo Vision Compact 350.
It might not have been the same version we had grown accustom to over the years but we thought we would give it a shot. After trying to reserve it online at Argos (we tried 4 different branches in a 20 square mile radius) but to no avail we resolved that we would have to chose a different mower or shop.
Phoning up B & Q I enquired if they had ample stocks of the 350 Flymo - after receiving the resounding yes we traipsed ...

...I treated myself to a Flymo Hover Compact 350 Hover Mower from Argos. Yes, I spoil myself!
The orange machine cost me £59 which was a saving of £20 on the previous catalogue price, so that was a good reason for choosing it. It certainly looked like a good deal and I was getting a good brand name for my money.
It is constructed from metal and plastic. The blades are metal and the power is 1500w. It will cut grass as long as thirty five centimetres ... ...with my tangled up green patch. The key to getting the best from this machine seems to be to use it regularly. It really did not like thick grass and weeds at any more that a couple of inches high. Fortunately, at just 7.6 kilograms it is very light for me to get out and put away again, so that helps me a great deal when it comes to mustering up the enthusiasm to use it. The height of the blades can be adjusted if you like a close cut lawn but I ...

...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 ...

Quick review of Flymo Vision Compact 350
Utter rubbish - underpowered and cannot handle more than two inch grass without chocking itself to death.
Also, there is not enough power to suck up the grass into the grass containter.
I had a Flymo 380 before which was a much better machine, but this one is simply unfit for its purpose. ...
