Flymo Contour XT

Great little tool

This grass trimmer is a good choice for small to medium gardens and works well for general trimming and edging. It’s lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, which makes it comfortable to use without much strain. The edging wheel is a useful feature and helps keep borders neat without too much effort. Cutting performance is fine for grass and light weeds, and it’s straightforward to switch between trimming and edging modes. The main limitation, mentioned by many users, is that the 300W motor can struggle with thicker or overgrown areas, and the power cable feels a bit short unless you use an extension lead. It’s not designed for heavy-duty work, but for regular maintenance it does the job well and offers decent value overall.

Easy to assemble. Strimmer cut edges with ease. Better than the last 3 strimmers I bought. (BOSCH,Black and Decker and Qualcast). Very reasonable price also.

Brilliant and Highly Recommended! I was a bit nervous to purchase this following the prior reviews however, having bought this Electric grass Trimmer, I am extremely pleased! This maybe one of my favourite purchases for the garden yet. I have recommended this grass trimmer to a number of people for the following reasons; Clear and concise instructions Easy to put together; the shield and cord are not attached during transport but very easy to do. The strimmer is self is auto-feeding which means the length of the cord is always the correct length (if not- the clear instructions tell you how to make it do it for itself). Saving me from having to mess with it every time. The length of the cable is long enough to cover most of the garden (10m cable, but I have a 60 foot + garden and this pretty much gets all over). The head swivels, meaning that I am able to trim the grass against the fence, then can switch to cut the edging of the grass, saving me from getting the long arm scissors out/ half-moon edger and doing this manually. It is very light weight and balanced weight, so it can be easily maneuverer around the garden without putting too much stress on your arms. There is a shield to prevent the grass spraying out everywhere plus a wheel to use for rotation, creating a consistent edge the specific distance from the wall/ edges. It is mains operated The wires are held across two moulded ‘hooks’ for storage Negatives: The auto-feed failed on one occasion, resulting in me manually feeding the dual line, but this is only once (I have had this over a year now and used it on lots of occasions still only one fail). The grass still can spray out even with the shield; wear long trousers to save little cuts on legs (from experience). Read the instructions on how to ‘feed’ the cord (basically switch it on/ off a couple of times until you hear a change in the sound). Overall; for the price a brilliant purchase. Saves time and gives a clean edge to all borders, light and easy to use. Lots of positives for this Grass Edge Trimmer.

Bought this as a lighter weight strimmer was needed and it's definitely lightweight. When it works it's great but the power cable could have been longer, and putting it together could have been easier...very difficult for arthritic hands. The edging tool aspect is very useful but the cutting wire snaps every time it's used and again, very difficult to reel out more for arthritic hands. My old strimmer was one which just needed a bump on the ground for more cutting. Overall it is fit for purpose but could have been better.

Really pleased with this strimmer,really easy to setup and not as heavy as some people state,would buy again if needed

I needed a striker at short notice for the edges of a postage stamp sized garden. From previous reviews, this seemed to fit the bill. It was fairly easy to assemble and ready to use within five minutes of opening the box. It was super efficient at cutting the edges of the lawn. - it took just seconds. I dint find it too heavy - in many respects my only disappointment was that i didn't have a bigger lawn to tidy! Recommended, good value for money.

Really Good, really pleased with it.
