The handle folds down on to itself to make the whole unit easy to store up on a shelf. And because of the extremely low weight, any mobile individual should have the strength to lift it. There is no extendable handle, operators over 6 foot may find it to be on the low side. That means getting the rake out when you are finished and doing that. It will also mean getting the brush out for yards and paths. Manufacturers of hover mowers have a better understanding of the typical size and type of gardens their customers have. Companies like Flymo made their adjustments to develop an economical machine. A lighter motor makes it float better and is easier to hang the unit in a shed or garage. The greater the torque, the better the cutting power and ability to collect and compact the grass clippings in those that now have integrated grass collection boxes. If the motor is stronger and more powerful, it can perform the process of vacuuming up the grass and compressing it into the collection box as well as, if not better than, its wheeled competitors. Generally, hover mowers will have more powerful motors than a standard mower due to the additional power required to lift the machine while in use. I would not recommend choosing a hover mower with a motor less than 1400w as from my experience this would be underpowered. For example, the Flymo SimpliGlide 360 has an excellent 1800 motor that provides it with excellent manoeuvrability and cutting power. It will vary depending on the actual brand of hover mower that you own. On some brands it is a simple central height adjustment lever found on the side.

There is no striper or roller on this model. And the reduced weight means that it will be less effective in producing a striping effect than the heavier Flymo Hover Vac 280 model. Grass Box Capacity The Flymo Hover Vac 250 does NOT have the ability to mulch grass, but it does cut fine. The vacuum suction design compacts the grass into the collection box to make the most of the space. Flymo Hover Vac 250 User Manual For smaller gardens that is usually enough. If that is not long enough then you will need a good quality extension lead. Hover mowers are ideal for slopes as they can easily move in any direction and are not limited by the direction of wheels The hover mowers are ideal for manoeuvring around small tight gardens, and not for cutting miles of grass in a straight line. They can be moved easily in any direction and are ideal for lawns that have inclines or obstacles to be manoeuvred around and this should be taken into consideration when choosing your new hover mower.

The Flymo Ultra Glide Electric Hover Collect Lawn Mower is yet another wonderful invention from Flymo. This hover is lightweight yet powerful enough to devour any grass across its lawn. It is equipped with 1800W motor and its 36cm cutting width is significant to enhance hassle-free cutting. More so, its 30L large grass box which enhances neat and tidy cutting. Interestingly, the hover mover can cut close to walls, fences and over edges. In a small garden that is not a lot of work, but in my opinion still a task that we do not want to do. We would recommend buying one with grass collection included. Most models will collect most of the grass, some will compact it and that will make mowing a great deal easier. Some of the models however do not collect the grass. The cool thing about this hover mover is that it is made with 15L grass box which stores grass and thereby leaving your lawn neat and tidy. Remarkably, the 15L grass box is very easy to empty, unlike most hover mover out there. It is also worth noting that this hover mover comes with 10m long power cable, this makes it very easy to manoeuvre. At 8.8kg, the hover mover won’t weigh you down while moving it.Weighing 6.5 kilograms, anyone that can push this mower will have the strength to lift it up. The size is not reduced by a large margin despite having a much smaller blade. There is nowhere to store the cable on the mower, so most users will end up wrapping the cable around the handlebars. The blades are made from hardened steel, coated in a special material to prolong the sharpness of the blade. One advantage of a smaller blade on this Flymo Hover Vac 250 is that it takes less effort to spin; therefore, there is less strain on the motor. Please note some larger products are delivered to kerb-side (the street outside your home), it is at the drivers discretion if they can deliver the item to another location on the property. Most hover mowers have some form of grass collection usually a small box and typically 20 litres in size. The mower then vacuums grass clippings from the lawn through a small aperture in the base of the grass box.
