Default Are Flymo electric hovers cr*p?

Hi, I have used one, they are ok,and they are very manoverable although I
did find it blew a lot of grass about ( never have tried to workout why a
hover mower which blows air downward in order to ride on a cusion of air can
also "suck up" grass into the collecter box ). I prefer petrol mowers,
especially cylinder, but I use a cheapo wheeled/backroller flymo on my on
lawn as it is so small. Its quiet, it works well being as it is left outside
in all weathers and it gives me a nice striped lawn.

I need a new mower and I am tempted by a Flymo Compact Hover one of the

ones
around £70-80. Thing is having researched on Google groups it seems many
people are unimpressed. So does anyone here have one? and if so are they

ok?

Cheers

Matt
