Flymo EasiStore 380R Electric Rotary Lawn Mower - 38 cm Cutting Width, 45 Litre Grass Box, Close Edge Cutting, Rear Roller, Central Height Adjust, Space Saving Storage Features

Product Information

A surprising fact is that there is little difference in weight between the 300R and the 340R models. For more information on all the differences between these models see my comparison table below. Blades

The large diameter rear wheels on the 340R and 380R make traversing uneven ground easier. And the larger wheels also cope better with the increase in weight as the grass box becomes full. Safety Features EasiStore’s roller is small, but the placement means it puts down a lot of pressure on the grass. The roller also helps the operator cut over the boundaries of the grass and an island garden bed without scalping the grass.

The verdict: Flymo easistore 380R

Both the 340R and the 380R have central height adjustment levers with 5 height settings. But, the 300R has 3 settings, and you need to add or remove spacers to the blade each time you want to change the cutting height (for me this is a limitation and therefore I would opt for one of the larger models). The throttle controls are a curved plastic. This simple throttle makes operating the machine more comfortable for both right and left-handed users. The large and non-compressible grass box’s design means that you can store it on the rear — using the mower as a stand. With the Flymo EasiStore range, it is suitable for homeowners with the roller being a higher priority over the mulching function — and for this size of the mower, it is the choice you will have to make.

The weight of the machine makes it more manageable for less-firm individuals. And the roller adds to the stability when using the EasiStore. And the fact that the EasiStore is its own storage unit means that there is no need to lift it off the ground to reduce the amount of storage space it takes up. Some safety features, which prevent accidental starting by an operator or a child, need interaction, to deactivate them. But the EasiStore also has many passive features that make operating this mower that much safer for all. There is a safety button on the handlebar, which the operator needs to depress to release the throttle grips.

Though the EasiStore is simple, there are some clever additions to make this mower more compact than other machines of a similar size. And if you are scouting for something that is good value, cuts your grass effectively and leaves stripes, then you have found it in the EasiStore range. If you also want to mulch your grass, you can try to leave the grass box off from the rear and re-mow the same areas, but it will not have the same effect.

The 11kg 340R has a 1400-watt motor, which for most owners, is going to be more than enough power for small to medium sized lawns. Though, at the time of writing, the 380R is the better deal as it costs less than the 340R. And the extra width and power of the 380R means that you will be flying through the grass that much faster. A close edge cutting system allows a neat cut right up to edges of the lawn or flowerbeds, reducing the need for trimming afterwards; and a rear roller provides a beautiful striped finish to your lawn meaning its always looking its best. The 300R comes with a 30-litre grass box that will suffice for a well-kept lawn of 250m². The 340R has a 35-litre box allowing you to keep going for up to 300m² before you need to empty it. And the 380R 45-litre box gives you enough space to collect the grass clippings from a 375m² lawn.

These high-performance blades have wings at their tips to increase the lifting power and improve the cut quality of the grass. This lifting blade also improves the movement of grass clippings into the grass box, reducing the mess left on your lawn. Height Adjustment All grass boxes have a robust handle that you can use to lift it from the rear of the machine when it becomes full. The handle also acts as a hook, so that the box can hang from the handlebar when in storage. The three size choices also have increasing motor power from 1200W to 1600W and grass collection box sizes from 30 litres to 45 litres.

The clever vertical storage position means it takes up less floor space keeping your shed neat and tidy, or you can simply fold the handles down flat to store away neatly.
