Flymo Contour grass trimmer

I found the Flymo Grass trimmer to be good quality all round strimmer with the added swivel head for Edging but so far have only used it the once but seems very capable
Takes a little getting used to getting the right cutting angle as i found the cutting head a little on the heavy side until you get the balance
but once you have practiced a little and get the hang off it found it to be a very capable off doing a good jobRead full review

Heavyweight. Not for a small garden or old people like me.

Easy to put together. although the instructions are very small and not easy to follow. After using a basic Black and Decker strimmer for 30+ years i decided to upgrade. This unit is Quality all over but has some flaws IMO.
Pro: excellent value for money, long lead as standard, 2 cutting lines, very adjustable for edging or awkward areas. Cuts through almost anything.

Cons: It eats cutting line. Every time you stop more cable is released. Its also very heavy. After 10 minutes cutting my arms are aching. The left one from the weight, the rights from having to press the trigger so tight to keep it spinning. A younger person may find it ok, I'm 61, so my old B&D was ideal. I will keep using it to see if it grows on me, but i may have to move it on.Read full review

A good stimmer over enginered.

I have the older version of this strimmer, the new one is heavy,and the safety switch on the handle is hard to use,as you need a lot of hand presure to keep it going not comfy. The old version was a lot nicer to use. The new one will take some getting used to hence only 3 stars.Read full review

rubbish

As the machine is good the same old trimming line is the same it breaks every 2 or 3 feet and is a pain to thread it in from both sides. very disappointed? wish I had just purchased a new line for my old flymo strimmer and saved a lot of money can someone please come up with a good idea instead of this spool rubbish. the line gets tied up and is hard to release it not impress at all with this part of the strimmer.

powerful robust and easy to use, good for heavier jobs like brambles,nettles etc

This strimmer blasts away anything in its path, goes right through brambles. Easy to use once you've constructed it, it all 'clicks together' ,but the instructions are dreadful. No words, just tiny diagrams, but you can fathom it out from the picture on the box!
I've only tried it out for half an hour, so can't comment on longlevity, but it seems fine, good quality i thinkRead full review

Not for me

Personally not impressed I think its design is for the much larger garden, always a simple job trimming the edges this one find it very heavy to use I still prefer using my old much lighter and simpler one that did the same job with less effort. Read full review

Good piece of kit

Works very well, cuts very well. Easy to put together and clean at the moment, fairly quiet. Only downside is the weight as it gets quite heavy after 10- 15 minutes. Still well worth it.
