Flymo EasiStore 340R (36V Cordless Kit, Orange and Grey)

How long do the batteries last and how long do they take to charge?

The two included 2.0Ah batteries provide enough power to mow up to 150m² on a single charge. Actual runtime depends on grass conditions, cutting height and lawn terrain. The standard charger takes approximately 60 minutes to fully charge each 2.0Ah battery. For larger lawns, you can purchase additional batteries or upgrade to higher capacity 4.0Ah batteries which provide longer runtime.

Can I use other brand batteries with this mower?

Yes, this mower uses Power For All Alliance batteries which are compatible with tools from Bosch, Gardena and other alliance partners. Any 18V Power For All battery will work, including higher capacity versions like 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah or 6.0Ah batteries. This compatibility makes the system very cost-effective if you already own compatible tools or plan to expand your cordless tool collection.

What's the actual cutting width and is it suitable for narrow spaces?

The cutting width is 34cm, making it suitable for most garden paths and narrow spaces between flower beds. The close edge cutting system with grass combs allows you to cut right up to borders and obstacles, reducing the need for separate trimming. The mower's overall width is 38cm, so it will fit through standard garden gates and between most garden features.

How does the vertical storage system work?

The handles fold down flat against the mower body using quick-release clips. Built-in feet on the rear of the mower allow it to stand upright securely. The grass box can be stored on top of the vertically positioned mower. This system reduces floor space requirements significantly compared to traditional horizontal storage, making it ideal for small sheds or garages.

What cutting heights are available and how do you adjust them?

Five cutting height positions are available from 20mm to 60mm, adjusted using a central lever system. This ensures even height adjustment across the full cutting width. The heights are: 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm and 60mm. The central lever is located on the side of the mower and can be operated quickly without tools.

Does this mower create stripes on the lawn?

Yes, the integrated rear roller creates attractive striped patterns by bending grass in alternating directions as you mow. The striping effect is more pronounced on well-maintained lawns cut at lower heights. For best results, mow in straight lines and alternate direction each time you cut. The roller also helps prevent scalping on uneven ground.

How much does the mower weigh and is it easy to manoeuvre?

The mower is designed to be lightweight for easy manoeuvrability, though the exact weight isn't specified in the product details. Customer reviews consistently praise its lightweight design and ease of use. The 34cm cutting width provides a good balance between cutting efficiency and manoeuvrability around garden obstacles like trees, flower beds and garden furniture.

What maintenance does this mower require?

As a battery-powered mower, maintenance requirements are minimal compared to petrol alternatives. Regular tasks include cleaning the cutting deck after use, checking the blade for damage and keeping the grass box clean. The batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place and charged regularly. No oil changes, spark plug replacements or fuel mixing are required, making this a low-maintenance option.
