Maybe they are ok but we just looked in B&Q and our opinion was - "not long
for this world" The plastic casings are so thin! They look like they should
be classed as disposable - oh I suppose they are ;-)

We're gonna get the McCulloch petrol from Argos for £89.99, probably just as
flimsy but we'll see how it goes.

I need a new mower and I am tempted by a Flymo Compact Hover one of the
ones
around £70-80. Thing is having researched on Google groups it seems many
people are unimpressed. So does anyone here have one? and if so are they
ok?

Cheers

If you can start it (and not pull a muscle in the process) it will
probably go "Brrrrrm, brmm, brmm, .........." ;-)

McCulloch as made by Electrolux Group, by coincidence also makers of Flymo.

Yes as we found out when we opened the box :-)

So far the thing seems ok, runs ok, cuts ok.

The plastic body is thicker than the Flymo and made of that waxy softer
plastic rather than the shiny hard brittle type used on the Flymos. I will
write a mini review when I've used it a few times.
