I have a flymo lawn mower and the belt need replacing.
Ordered the belt, not in stock but 3 months later was emailed that the item was in stock. Paid for the item and three weeks later, still have not received the belt paid for.
Would I buy flymo again? Hell no.

I placed an order elsewhere for a different lawnmower and awaited my refund.
On 4th April, I then received a shipping notification from Flymo!? Needless to say, I emailed them yet again advising of the above and yet again – nothing received back from them. Delivery was naturally rejected a few days later and I sent yet another email only to be ignored. Today is 14th April, and despite a further email regarding a refund I have heard nothing from them. I am now going through my bank to force a refund. This will be one of many reviews I post to warn others. Be warned – DO NOT DEAL WITH FLYMO, DO NOT TRUST!!!

very unsafe product

I returned it to Homebase who did not quibble about replacing it. The adverse weather for the remainder of November restricted the number of times that I could tidy to garden but on the few occasions I was able to use it everything was O.K. Today,19th December I ventured out into the garden and the same issue occurred again. The shredder detached itself from the motor and became "lost" in the leaf bag.
I am sure that there is a H&S issue here. In the unlikely possibility that the shredder forced its way through the leaf bag it could cause a nasty injury to the operator. Sort it out Flymo.
I contacted Homebase and again they have been extremely helpful and they have agreed to take back the Flymo Garden Vac and issue me with a full refund.
I will be looking at an alternative Garden Vac in the future

The biggest problem is that to operate the strimmer you first have to depress a Safety Lock-off Switch which then allows you to depress the Switch Lever and start the strimmer and also lock the Safety Lock-off Switch in the On position. As long as you keep the the Switch Lever depressed the Safety Lock-off Switch remains locked On. However unless you keep a very firm grasp on the Switch Lever to keep it completely closed the Safety Lock-on Switch disengages and the strimmer stops. If you only slightly relax the pressure on the Switch Lever the Safety Lock-on will disengage.You then have to start the process over again. The Lever Switch is far, far too sensitive and requires a strong grip to keep it fully depressed which quickly becomes very tiring.
Another problem is that if you rotate the head for edging operations it is very difficult to judge the alignment of the cutting line accurately.
My previous Strimmer, which I have just scrapped, was also a Flymo and gave 15 years excellent service. It was lighter in weight and also had a rotating head for edging and it was easy to accurately align the cut when edging. It was a far superior machine to the cumbersome monstrosity that the 500E is.
I strongly advise that anyone who does not have an untiring and iron grip to avoid this machine.

Recently the lawnmover has started to be more noisy. This was a bit disapointing but not that important.
Then, the turbine and the blade have fallen on the grass.
Luckily no one was injured.
After having looked closely at the pieces of the mower, it appeared to me that the ball bearing has too much clearance.
The bad ball bearing has caused vibrations, that made the device noisy and that have broken the fixing system.
I think all this is due to the poor design of the product. So my advice is stay away of this product.
Also flymo has a poor customer service.
My first mail to them has stayed without any answer.
They answered to my second email but very partially anyway

2 years later, the Lawn Mower still working and in good working Order!
The Mini Trimmer, however, is still useless then as it is now. the nylon line still does not cut. I have emailed Flymo regarding this issue heres their response:
"All of our products are tested by independent bodies to ensure they comply with CE approval & we can confirm that we have had the MiniTrim in our product range for a number of years with great success, as with all trimmers it is the rotation of the nylon line that trims the grass & therefore we are unsure as to why you feel it is not operating as it should.
We hope the above information clarifies the situation"
Doesn't really help much, does it?
