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 Comfort is key, which is why the EasiStore 300R is equipped with dual lever handles. These handles provide a comfortable grip and ensure optimal control and manoeuvrability, allowing you to effortlessly navigate your garden while maintaining a pristine lawn. The large and non-compressible grass box’s design means that you can store it on the rear — using the mower as a stand. Everything fitted together nice and easy. When it comes to the handles, they simply screw together with a twist cap, so there’s no need to use a screwdriver or any other tools. On the left side, the caps were different from the right. This makes it possible to wrap the cable around the left-hand side after use, which is a handy feature.

Flymo is part of the Husqvarna Group, a leading global producer of outdoor power products which encompasses lawn mowers, robotic mowers, garden tractors, chainsaws as well as trimmers. In the UK, Flymo is the leading lawn mower brand as well as being at the forefront of design and innovation across a wealth of other gardening equipment segments. 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. For people who have not tried an electric lawn mower before and are perhaps moving over from petrol, they’re going to notice some serious differences. While it won’t have the same power as your old petrol model, it’s got enough features to impress and makes the switch much easier. When you see how efficiently it cuts and how easy it is to use, you’ll be glad you made the change. Conclusion Space-Saving Design: Save valuable space in your sheds or garages with the vertical storage solution All EasiStore electric corded lawn mowers can vary in cutting height, from 20mm up to 60mm. Both the 340R and the 380R have a central height adjustment lever, which changes the height by 10mm at a time.

Refine Selection

Mulching can be a good option for those that want to fertilize their lawns organically. But grass clippings scattered over a lawn tend to make it look messy. And if you have a roller, you will want to have the lawn as clipping-free as you can get it to enhance the striping effect. For this reason mulching and rear rollers do not normally go well together. 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. And the 380R has a 38-centimetre blade, with a cutting area of 0.45m² that is 60% greater than that of the 300R. This improvement in the cutting area is more efficient for power consumption, and you are going to be cutting more grass with each step taken. 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 The Flymo EasiMow 340R is a nifty, lightweight little lawn mower that has seriously impressed me. It’s not a mower that’s got the most features and cutting functions in the world, but it’s got more than enough to deliver a fantastic cut. For example, a rear roller and cut to edge which adds that little extra something to make your lawn stand out from the rest.

Flymo still maintains its position as number one in robotic lawn mower sales in the UK and 2022 saw the ongoing launch of the EasiLife GO robotic lawn mower. 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. Designed for the smaller garden, the Flymo EasiStore 300R is a compact 30cm (12") electric rotary lawn mower powered by a 1200W motor. The mower is equipped with an integrated rear roller to create a neat, striped finish to your lawn. The Flymo EasiMow 340R runs on a 1400 watt motor. This is a nice amount of power for an electric mower of this size, so you can feel confident that it’ll get the job done efficiently. It’s also great to note that there is a handy cable wrap so you won’t get in a twist when storing the mower. More importantly, you won’t have to spend ages untangling the wire when it comes to the next mow. Roller (Stripes)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. Just bear in mind that this mower is lightweight, so therefore the stripes will not be as defined and long lasting as those produced from heavier petrol or cordless mowers. Mulching You can choose from three lifting-blade widths. The entry-level 300R has a 30-centimetre blade, meaning a cutting area of 0.28m² with each rotation. The 340R has a 34-centimetre blade, which gives the mower a 29% increase in cutting area than the 300R.

There are two options for the EasiStore range. You can either get the electric corded version, which is available across the range of blade sizes, from 30 centimetres to 38 centimetres. Or the cordless versions, which applies to the smaller 300R and 340R models. In addition to its comprehesive lawn mower range, Flymo's garden power tool range has seen the launch of many hand-held battery power tools in recent years, including grass trimmers, hedge trimmers, blowers, vacs and presure washers. Achievements Even the larger 380R is lightweight, making it easier to navigate around a lawn. And a lighter mower means that you have more options over where you want to store it, such as on a shelf.Modern homeowners don’t usually want to spend hours at a time looking after their garden. They want tools that will do the hard work for them and that are convenient. That’s exactly what you’ll get with the Flymo EasiMow 340R since it has a cut to edge feature that ensures you won’t need to worry too much about getting the trimmer out after mowing. There’s quite a lot to get excited about when you think about the handle on the Flymo EasiMow 340R. First and foremost, it features dual lever controls so it can be operated with both the left and right hands independently. Though the EasiStore is simple, there are some clever additions to make this mower more compact than other machines of a similar size. 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 EasiStore sets a good example as a model for all-electric mowers on the market. You rarely see an electric mower of this size and price with such a feature as a roller, but one possible reason is the absence of mulching. Mulching However, I found a possible design flaw here. Even though the manufacturers mention you can fold away the handlebars to achieve compact storage, I couldn’t see how to do this when the wire was wrapped around it. Maybe it’s possible, but it certainly isn’t obvious. There is no vertical storage with this model, unlike the Flymo EasiStore range of models. Height Adjustment What really stood out for me was the long power cable. A lot of people are put off the idea of buying a corded mower because they worry that it’ll limit their reach. Short of using an extension cable, a lot of mowers won’t get to every corner of your garden. However, since the Flymo EasiMow 340R is fitted with a standard 10 metre power cable you’ll be able to reach more of your garden.For more than 55 years, Flymo has been an established iconic sight in UK gardens. It has consistently held high market shares in the UK, at its peak taking more than 50% share of the UK lawn mower market. The 300R has a smaller 30 litre collection box and the larger 380R has a larger 45 litre grass collection box, should you prefer one of these other options. The three size choices also have increasing motor power from 1200W to 1600W and grass collection box sizes from 30 litres to 45 litres. A full comparison of these 3 EasiStore mowers can be seen in the review below. The handlebar will fold into two — but the real practicality comes when the machine is stood upright for storage, and the grass box is hanging from it.
