The bolts holding the end of the handles onto the body no longer work. They are not like this, but actual metal nuts and bolts. The bits inside the black plastic humps are loose, so the bolt has nothing to hold on to. How can I get the black plastic rim off please? The mower is still working dandy, but how do I fix this?

Can’t get the trimmer head to attach to the tube 😭 what’s the trick?

Thanks for the well made explanation

Does not even show how the wire feeds itself ! Explain further Flymo

Surely u mean adding one spacer will result in a longer cutting height? Very misleading this

Shouldnt he have said adding one spacer will result in a longer cutting height?

My sister has one and is quite satisfied with it. I'm skeptical of the cutting ability due to the airflow principles, but i live a few continents away from her so i haven't had a chance to try it myself and compare it with the hundred or more mowers i've used in my life. She says it really is great for edging and for the uneven front lawn they have. While i am guessing i would be disappointed with it in heavy use, if it works in areas i would have to use a weed trimmer, then that's a big bonus, as weed trimmers can be very fussy (managing the twine) and the vibrations and noise and mess are usually awful.

don’t bother batteries fail😡

Thanks

The nut and washer are well n truly rusted on and i cannot budge them. Ive tried WD40, spanner and hammer. Nothing is shifting them.

Replaced the blade and the belt keeps coming off.

How do you adjust the rear wheels .

how to fold the handles????

i also cant figure out how to fold the handles! instruction unclear.

This is like a cheap kids toy -plastic rubbish , I cant get the handle to stay on the grass box, I tried numerous times so when I attempt to empty the grass box the handle comes off.

The flymo contour 500e is so badly designed it cuts out all the time the line snaps all the time on grass. It’s literally the worst strimmer I’ve bought! My cheaper old flymo was far superior to this more expensive model. Do not buy this crap product! Flymo hang your heads in shame 😡🤬

I can't get the battery to come out to recharge

Really hard. Done all for hours not working

I get the impression Husquvarna do not have an integration development project with integration across Flymo, Gardena, McCulloch etc… the app seems very unsecured, doesn’t really do much other than what the buttons do and it requires line of sight with the device. Would be great to have a decent app, and a login across their brands.

Lifesaver was en route to snapping something 😂

Can't get the blade bolt off been trying for two Weeks it's not shifting one bit! Any idea what I can use to loosen it? The tool you get with it is useless and have tried drenching it in wd40 over night then trying again but it's still not moving.

Ridiculously useless and fat from helpf

How do I put the wheels on?

Going to buy a better quality one, Flymo are rubbish

Why does my line keep unravelling? I have fitted as per instructions and this video but i cant go more than 1 minute at a time before having to stop and feed it through holes again and its bloody annoying

Last time I used my strimmer the line wrapped round my 6ft fence panel and ripped it out of the posts so beware 😁

This is quite possibly the worst auto-feed system in the world. It didn't matter how many times I rewound the spools exactly as in this video, it jammed. 30 seconds strimming for 10 minutes unjamming! Thanks god, I only borrowed this and didn't buy it.

Screwdriver in hole, excellent idea. Mine had not been changed since we got it a long time ago, and it was very tough to undo. ... Even needed a couple of squirts of WD40

The app is appalling.

How does this maintain a constant height? I mean, when you enter a though grass area, it can decrease the speed of the blade/fan and cut a bit lower

Using the spanner provided its quite easy to adjust the cutting height of the mower.

They are crap…

Who is the prick on the advert?? Never read a book in his life! Complete fraud just like that flymo

any idea how you speak to customer service - First call i was on hold for over an hour before i gave up... 2nd attempt is going the same way

Is this boundary wire free? Is it an automated return to base system? Thanks

Shite

Why is my lawnmower making big holes in my grass

It still has WHEELS…!!! I thought the idea of flymo hover mowers was to get rid of the wheels….? 👀🤦🏻‍♂️

how did you open the back up to get at the basket please?

Mrs Greenfield is such a joke

How many height spacers does this machine come with? What is the maximum spacers that you can use. Thanks

A very heavy unit

Mine just caught fire! Only the second time of using out of the box from new. Steer clear if I were you.

*Promosm* ✋

Does she fly?

Flymo no fly no mo?

I am still using one after 35 years. Does not like wet grass and needs the clippings scraped off the bottom, but it is made how things used to be before we were seduced by globalisation cheap throwaway rubbish.

360vc is actually easier to assemble the grass box, initial problem for me was that the tongue is installed differently to the video, the orange bit fits into the black box a lot easier if you clip the 2 front clips in from either side at the start, finished that part in less than a minute and that is saying something because me and putting together Flymo's have a bad history together.
