Quick Summary
The Flymo Hover Vac 250 is a compact electric hover collect mower made for smaller gardens where easy movement, tidy grass collection and simple storage matter.
What This Product Is Used For
The Flymo Hover Vac 250 electric hover collect lawn mower is used for cutting smaller lawns where a lightweight mower is easier to move and store. With a 1400W motor, 25cm cutting width and 15 litre grass box, it is designed to give a neat and tidy finish without needing a larger wheeled mower.

Tips for Getting the Best Performance
Use the mower regularly on smaller lawns so the 15 litre grass box does not fill too quickly. Keep the 10 metre cable safely behind you while mowing. Choose the cutting height to match the lawn condition, using a higher setting when the grass is longer and a lower setting when you want a closer finish. Fold the mower flat after use to keep storage neat and compact.
