I have one and it works just fine!! It is small, light and cheap… It is a tool that requires two hands and not messing about with one hand and filming with the other 🙄

Always had flymos for 25 years plus. Just brought another 250 turdo light today not disappointed at all.

Yes turbo 😂. It's really handy for my purpose as our landscape is uneven and it does the job with very little effort.

I agree, it is crap. Or at least the one I have is. I had a Flymo turbo lite before but gave it to charity as I thought a lighter one would be better for me. It doesn't hover well, so it pushes blades of lawn flat. I have it on the lowest setting but it isn't cutting as short as the one I had before it. I've just used it for the third time and the peg holding in the handle flew out across the lawn, managed to find it, phew. Yes, it was in right! My lawn always looked beautiful, weed free, velvety, dense, now it looks ragged. Glad for those happy with it though. This'll be going to the charity shop as well. I note this is no longer available at Amazons and Currys. Not surprised!

I was thinking of getting this for my small 65m squared garden. I think I might avoid now. My dad used to have a Flymo in the 90s, but it looks like those worked much better and actually hovered.

Next time you tighten the blade make sure you locate the nibs on the spacers and try again. Sorry you injured your hand.

Once again the Flymo turbo lite 250 (a pile of junk) 'handle pivot pin' has flown off to somewhere in my garden and this time I cannot find it. What a pile of junk. If I banged it in any harder it would go through the machine and out the other side. I had a Flymo turbo for years which I assembled, with not the least bit of trouble but time moves on and I needed something lighter. An even bigger insult is that this crappy piece of plastic called a 'handle pivot pin', which does not stay in place, is £5 at least to replace on Amazon. If I find it, I will paint it a bright colour, meanwhile I will wire the handle into place.

@@colscopters I bought my new Flymo last autumn then it rained and rained and the grass was not growing so the Flymo remained in the box until late May this year when the grass started to grow, and that was when I found out how rubbish it was. Yesterday, when the pivot pin flew out to goodness knows where, I fixed it with three green, short but strong, plant ties threaded through. That did the trick! No way am I paying £5 for useless bit of plastic for a rubbish machine. Are Flymo making their crappy machines this way so they can make money on the spare parts? 😂

None of my flymos have ever hovered, or cut short. Basically all I wanted was a mower to cut my verges because the council only does it twice a year. What's the bog deal about the grass box. I would not expect to have a grass box with a mower this small, even the flymos with grass boxes are not that wonderful. You would be better off getting another type of mower with a big grass box on it. Grass shouldn't be cut that short anyway, it kills the grass in the long term and makes it less weed resistant. This is perfectly ok for my grass verges, just what I wanted. I would not have bought a tiny cheap mower if I had an average size lawn.
