Got through two Flymo 350's in 3 years, 1st one the motor burnt out
and just had the 2nd ones motor shaft snap just as I finished the last
cut.

Anybody recommend a decent Hovermower, not the disposable Flymo brand,
around the same size, not a large lawn, only takes about 20 minutes to
cut.

You must be doing something wrong!
I have had my basic Flymo for about 10 years, and gave my old one to a
lady friend. That one must be at least 15 years old and she
still uses it.
My lawns take about 40 minutes plus 15 minutes raking-up time.


If you buy a modern flymo these days you will find they are nowhere
near the quality they were even a few years ago.

I'd better look after it then! They used to have a service centre
about 30 yards from my house, but have moved a few miles away.
