 chinese made disposable mower May 30, 2008

Heavy, useless on damp grass, useless on unlevel lawns and finally went up in smoke. If it's made in china it's not worth buying. The next mower for me will either be a Bosch or, if they've gone Oriental too, a hand push job. Avoid Flymos like the plague.

TOTALLY UNFIT FOR PURPOSE - I bought a Hover mower expecting it to be light and easy to move around once it was switched on. Having used the Compact 380 for the first time today I think it may well be my last. Even when it is switched on it is far too heavy and hard to manoeuvre around on my flat lawn. It comes with two rollers on the front which are totally inadequate to move it around, even on flat concrete. I don't even know why this mower has a collection box for grass as it only collects about 25% of it. My previous mower was a Flymo Compact 400 which lasted 10 years before the motor burned out. I wish I had spent the money on replacing the motor - it may well have lasted me another 10 years.
From new to landfill in under 3 years... what a waste! May 1, 2008

This is my parting shot, I'm writing this for the sake of the environment. I'm looking for a new mower. This is the old one that broke today, its just over 2 years old. Its caused us no end of trouble. All of the comments previously made are true. Its cumbersome, heavy, covers you in grass, the way it sucks up grass....sucks, its broken under warranty and been repaired once since. Its also created a huge bald patch in the middle of our lawn when it got in a strop. And today its gone up in smoke.
The next mower we buy will not be a Flymo, very disappointed.
It's now landfill.
Flymo's Most Rubbish Mower September 2, 2007

I hate being negative, but this has got to be the worst mower I have ever used. It replaced a Flymo 350 machine which was really good. In total contrast, the VC380 is extremely difficult to manoeuvre - it doesn't really hover, it doesn't cut the grass - it just beats it to death, the collection box inlet blocks up if you even look at it in a funny way, it clogs up underneath and inside and is extremely difficult to clear the bits of grass that get wedged inside. The only good thing about it is the cable reel system. Don't buy this until Flymo has redesigned it (hint, hint). I only gave it 1 star because you can't give no stars at all.

I have purchased a new 380 to replace an older 380 that I managed to burn out after at least eight years of abuse. I think that it was trying to mow a building materials bag that finally finished it off. My garden resembles the Somme and my old Flymo took all the abuse that my garden threw at it. It had coped with bricks, bits of concrete as well as the lumps and bumps all over the garden. I have used my Flymo to cut down a lawn that had been left, on more than one occasion, for over a year. This included thistles, brambles, bindweed as well a grass that was about two feet high. I will admit that it is a heavy machine to use but that is a small price to pay for its capabilities. After use it usually got thrown back in the shed and forgotten about until it was next needed. If you are prepared to accept that it can be heavy to use (I have never tried it on a nice level lawn!) you will find this a reliable, useful mower. I would have no reservations in recommending this machine.
