Flymo Hover Vac 260 | Home Hardware

Designed for smaller gardens, the Flymo Hover Vac 260 is a 26cm electric hover mower with a powerful 1400W motor which floats on a cushion of air whilst cutting the grass. The Flymo Hover Vac 280 works off a 1300-watt electric motor housed towards the top-front of the machine. Being a small electric motor, the sound level when active is a low 78.8 Db(A), and it also reduces the vibrations felt by the operator. That makes them ideal for many people who have not got the energy to push and pull a mower on wheels. It also makes them very suitable for those with slopes on their garden. As the older style electric hover mowers did not have grass collection bags, they only needed enough power to move the blade. As hover lawn mowers have progressed, the efficiency of the motors has developed with them, as they now produce a lot more torque for the same power.

Note: This table is not exhaustive and other factors, such as the size and condition of the lawn, may also impact the suitability of a hover mower. Please consider all factors when selecting a lawn mower. Main Characteristics Of Hover Mowers

It would seem counter intuitive to release an updated version of a mower with shorter blades. But then the length is not everything, and with the compromise of a smaller blade, Flymo has made a much stronger blade. 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. Hover Mowers Height Adjustment This is probably the single biggest complaint with all hover mowers. They do not do a great job of collecting all of the grass. Over the years, we have used a lot of hover mowers, and all of them tend to spit some grass out of the side of the mower. The cutting edge is made from strengthened steel and coated to extend the lifespan of the blade. This blade is double the price of the replacements for the Easi Glide mowers, but the improved strength should help with the economy.
