Flymo SimpliStore 340 Li (Orange/Grey, 34cm)

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

The dual 20V batteries typically provide 30-40 minutes of cutting time, though this varies based on grass conditions and cutting height. Charging takes between 1-3 hours for a full charge. Some users report that battery performance may decline after extended use, with replacement batteries costing around £64 each.

What size garden is this mower suitable for?

The 34cm cutting width and 40V power system make this mower ideal for small to medium gardens. Most users can complete their front and back lawns on a single charge. The lightweight design and cordless operation make it particularly suitable for gardens with obstacles, slopes, or areas where cable management would be difficult.

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

The mower weighs 13.09kg including batteries. Users consistently praise its lightweight design for easy manoeuvrability and carrying. The dual lever handles allow operation with either hand, improving control around obstacles. A convenient carry handle on top makes transportation simple, though some users find it slightly heavy when the grass box is full.

How easy is assembly and what tools are required?

Assembly is straightforward and typically takes 30-60 minutes. The mower comes with clear instructions and most users report easy setup. The main assembly involves attaching the handles and grass box. No specialist tools are required beyond basic household items. The foldable handle design is simple to operate once assembled.

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

Five cutting height positions range from 20mm to 60mm. A single lever adjustment system allows quick height changes without tools. The lowest setting provides a close finish for formal lawns, whilst higher settings suit longer grass or rough terrain. Some users report the height adjuster occasionally flips to the lowest setting when crossing uneven ground.

How large is the grass box and how do you know when it's full?

The grass box holds 35 litres of clippings, reducing emptying frequency during cutting. A built-in indicator shows when the box is full. The tongue design makes removal and emptying straightforward. However, some users report that grass clippings can escape and build up around the cutting deck, requiring occasional cleaning.

Can the mower be stored vertically and how much space does it need?

Yes, the mower can be stored vertically against walls to save floor space. With handles folded, dimensions reduce to 69cm length and 30cm height. The upright storage position and compact folded size make it suitable for small sheds, garages, or utility rooms. The space-saving design is a key benefit for properties with limited storage.

What warranty is provided and what does it cover?

Flymo provides a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty gives peace of mind for the motor, cutting system and structural components. Battery performance and wear items may have different coverage terms. Users should register their product and retain purchase receipts for warranty claims.
