Mower recommendation.
Can't decide between the plastic bladed flymo with 15 L collected grass (£47.98)or the metal bladed Performance power with 25L collected grass (£49.98). Any thoughts ,recommendations. The performance power one has a roller for stripping the grass but as it is to cut an area of grass rather than a "lawn" stripes are WAY down on the list. Flymo :- http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/produc...36&paintCatId= or http://tinyurl.com/9ta28 Performance Power :- http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/produc...34&paintCatId= or http://tinyurl.com/8prff -- This post contains no hidden meanings, no implications and certainly no hidden agendas so it should be taken at face value. The wrong words may be used this is due to my limitations with the English language . yours S Nihil curo de ista tua stulta superstitione |

They are both hovers, I hope the "area of grass" rather than a "lawn" is fairly flat, no humps and bumps. If it ain't the things won't hover properly and you end up dragging it about, hard work. The PP one has a 1500W motor the Flymo 900W. How much are the plastic blades? Hit something a bit hard and a metal blade will most likely shrug it off, a plastic one well it may just shatter. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

How big is the 'grassy area', how bothered are you by the noise of the mower? I can't see any advantage in plastic as opposed to metal blade really, so would have an aversion towards that, and I don't like hovers anyway. For one reason that if the height is at all adjustable then it is a fiddle. Of the two I'd choose the PP one. It has bigger grass collection box, which means less emptying, which means less stopping, it has a more powerful motor and metal blade. But I wouldn't buy either. Thing's I'd look for on a mower to be used on small/medium domestic lawns. Decent grass collection box. Can be removed for cutting long grass without clogging (when you come back from 2 weeks holiday or just CNBA...) Easily adjustable height Reasonably quiet. I have Qualcast mover that was advertised as being quieter than normal. It is, and is much more pleasant to use because of that. My only gripe is that if the grass gets at all a bit long then ti easily clogs the collection chute. -- Chris French |
