Flymo EasiStore 300R Li Cordless Rotary Lawn Mower - 40 V Battery (20 V x 2 Including Charger), 30 cm Cutting Width, 30 Litre Grass Box, Close Edge Cutting, Rear Roller, Space Saving Storage Features

Product Information

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. Space-Saving Design: Save valuable space in your sheds or garages with the vertical storage solution The EasiStore 300R offers innovative features that makes storage and transport a breeze. Its space-saving vertical storage capability ensures that even the most compact spaces can accommodate this versatile lawnmower. Additionally, the unique transport position allows for easy manoeuvrability and effortless transportation to and from the lawn. Since the two most marketed features of this lawnmower are its close edge-cutting abilities and built-in rear roller, these were the features I wanted to focus on the most. 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.

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). Grass Box - A 30 litre grass box provides a large amount of storage for trimmings. It can be removed and emptied as and when required. Enjoy lightweight handling, superior performance and lots of practical and convenient features with this easy-to-use wheeled roller-mower from UK garden-machinery favourites, Flymo!Cutting Performance - The Flymo EasiStore 300R is a rotary mower with a fixed 30cm cutting width and an adjustable cutting height between 20mm and 60mm. It's capable of cutting close to edges, including near walls, fences, paths, flower beds, etc. The mower has a powerful 1200W motor.

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. Though the EasiStore is simple, there are some clever additions to make this mower more compact than other machines of a similar size. 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 The larger the model, the taller the handle, with the 380R being the tallest at 1-metre. Higher handles will make mowers easier to push, as will a wider wheel diameter. And both the 380R and 340R have 16cm rear wheels — in comparison the 300R has 14cm rear wheels.

There is a safety button on the handlebar, which the operator needs to depress to release the throttle grips.

And all models are lightweight so that the front wheels do not compress the grass down as much before the blade has a chance to cut it. 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. The electric corded EasiStore models are supplied with a 10-metre power cable – this applies to all 300R, 340R, or 380R models. One of the main differences relates to the size of the motor, where the base model – the 300R has a 1200-watt motor, and weighs less than 9kg. The 380R has a 1600-watt motor, which increases the total weight to 12.6kg. In terms of performance, the Flymo EasiMow 300R had no trouble trimming a small area of grass that had low-to-medium growth. There are 3 cutting heights available and I used the highest setting of 60 mm. 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.

The EasiStore range does not have a mulching blade, and neither does it have a mulching plug. Mulching is good if you worry about binning the grass clippings, or local town management has made it costly to do so. If you are looking for a mower that mulches, please see my link of best Mulching Mowers below – LINK HERE TO MULCHING MOWERS. The handlebar also has a built-in cable tidy, allowing you to keep the cable neat and untwisted, ready for the next time you lay it out. Assembling the Flymo EasiMow 300R was easy enough. There are only a few parts that need to be put together. First, you need to install both handles before clipping the grass box together – which came in three separate parts. 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 300R has a series of spacers that the operator must insert or remove from between the blade and the motor, to change the cutting height. And this also limits the 300R’s height choices to 3, with 20mm between each. Again giving you a choice of the same lowest and highest cutting heights from 20mm to 60mm. Cutting Diameter
