My Unboxing and first impressions review of FLYMO SIMPLIGLIDE 330 hover mower for our garden lawn. The assembly instruction manual isn't very good, so I also try a How to put together a Flymo Simpliglide electric mower.

It's a step up from our previous Flymo mow n vac, and might be useful if you're looking for the Flymo Simpliglide 300. In the video, I do the unboxing, assemble the flymo and mow the lawn. You can see how it mows over kerbstones, flag stones and railway sleepers as well as the edging.

hello welcome back to the channel

if I stay quiet for a moment you might be able to hear a petrol mower in the background

[PETROL MOWER NOISE]

so I’m sorry for that noise but I don't have to deal with any of that because today I’m unboxing this

the Flymo Simpliglide 330.

look there's some shots of me there using it later because I have time jumped

that is after I have opened the box

let's watch some more of of me in action doing some actual gardening with the Flymo Simpliglide

this channel used to be called the tightwad dad blog

but that felt a bit negative even though we were trying to be happy with what we've already got

so now it's called dad delivers and today dad delivers this Flymo Simpliglide

oh probably shouldn't have probably should have been a bit more careful with that

here it goes

clunk while I’m opening I’ve got my special steak knife

by the way it's not as good as the American vlogger but it's all I’ve got

maybe I’ll show you some shots of the box

this is an electric hover non-collect lawnmower which is why we got it we wanted something to just fling around the garden or technically in my case I wanted something so that my long-suffering wife could carry on mowing the lawn without my uh assistance

what we did with our old mower we actually took off the the box because it was just so much easier to just not have it clog up and just fling it around and let the birds collect the grass

but we didn't see too much online about what this actually looks like out of the box so I hope this video is helpful

this is what comes in the box so we've got the handles

we got this from amazon by the way and if you want one exactly the same as this there's there's a link in the description if you buy it from there

I get a few pennies

amazon rain me with coin

pretty much everything you get in the box

the main unit comes in a bag

it's really light the whole box I believe is about seven and a half kilograms I could carry it and I’m not the strongest hardest working person on youtube and the base it feels like pure plastic which I love

it's really light I’m actually looking forward to using this it comes with this protective wrapping which goes underneath the distinctive orange case there and over on the top the logo is protected

just like an apple product

and what I’ve already noticed which is better than my mo and vac

is that we have these nice caster rollers at the front

and underneath this was the biggest thing that we didn't know about and that's the blade

on our MowNvac we have a blade with plastic blades that rotate and we really wanted that because for our garden it's incredibly uneven I’ve got a little dog who's nine months old and really really good at digging holes that's Casper there

just going for it

so mowing around Casper’s er Great Escape work isn't the easiest task

so I was worried about getting a metal blade but what's really strange with this is that it doesn't actually look like a blade

so it's a block of metal but it's kind of chiselled

it's kind of angled can you see that

so that it's a blade there

but it doesn't feel quite as dangerous as we thought it would be

there's a crack

can you see that there's a there's a crack there it runs all the way from the top to the bottom there

so Flymo if you're if you're watching this we're not that impressed

it does come well wrapped the instructions that comes with the Flymo Simpliglide 330 as you can see inevitably the instructions are really nice and oblique

hey maybe next time you could make the writing just a little bit smaller

just a suggestion

so I’m going to do this on camera in case it helps you and if I go wrong then you might be able to avoid my mistakes

let's push this in there we go so the pin holds it there

and that looks that looks really nice

good so we've got a handle on

that's a great start

now I didn't think I would turn this video into a how to assemble a Flymo mower

but it is

the next thing we need to do is to put the lever handle on top of this handle and obviously you need to make sure that the button is facing upwards when you do this

Alright so this isn't quite as complicated as I thought it would be

so you have to line up the top handle with the bottom handle and then we're gonna have these nice tightening bolts on the outside so run the nut through here to attach the two handles together

and you can use the nice grey tightening nut yeah you don't need to tighten it that much

and I’ll do the same on the other side so the nut comes through the two handles and then you can put this on the outside and this will help you oh and I think this will help you dismantle it any time you want to fold it down

now thankfully in the instructions they're instructions for fitting the handles but they come attached straight

oh there's Casper oh yeah so all I need to do now is attach the cable holder

so I’ll put one there and I’ll put another one down here

well I’m not sure I want it near near the blade I’m still not sure I like having the cable at the bottom when I want it over my shoulder

now with the cable clips don't make the same mistake that I did I ended up clipping the orange lead to it which makes no sense at all

because you're then taking the power lead as close to the blades as possible these cable clips are actually for the the black cable which is really obvious now but I did it the other way

I did it the wrong way around so if you use the clips to tidy up the black cable that goes to the motor that just clips on there perfect and then obviously you can hold this cable over your shoulder to keep it away from the blade

I think we are good to go so this is the superglide 330 looking as clean as it ever will

do before it starts the journey across the battle of the somme that is our garden

it has the design of a sports car you can tell what quality cars I drive this is the inaugural flight of the Flymo easy glide 330.

let's fire this up for the very first time

you have to hold down the the press button hold that down at the same time as pulling the grip

[FLYMO MOWER NOISE]

I’m doing this one hand because I’m holding the camera so that's that's how easy glide it is

so I’m now going to take this out for a spin and while I’m doing that you can just live vicariously through me doing my well over to lawn mowing

you can probably see that I’ve well I yeah I say we it's me I’ve let it grow a bit long

let me talk you through some of the features while I am mowing and modelling this as best I can

honestly this is the the most work I’ve done in the garden uh this year

so this is an electric hover non-collect lawnmower to simply mow your lawn and is easy to store

these are Flymo's words I’m just reading off the box

it's easy to manoeuvre

this lightweight lawnmower floats on a cushion of air making it highly manoeuvrable and you can see here that that is really the case and this is why we wanted to buy the Flymo Simpliglide

what we were doing with our previous Flymo mower was actually just taking off the grass box and then flinging it around the garden like this

and I suspect the the the boffins and the designers at Flymo knew that's how we're actually using their crafted devices

and look at this it just glides over our railway sleepers without breaking a sweat no grinding noises it just glides over it without any moaning or negative consequences whatsoever

underneath let me give you a demonstration

uh obviously I’m being very careful here but this is what the long life metal blade looks like

and in case you're concerned this is what it looks like spinning I’m using this in a way that you and I would never use but I’m doing this for your benefit

so I hope I hope this helps

the flat folding handles allow you to hang the mower up on the wall for space-saving storage and on the box it says it weighs 7.3kg

it feels lighter to me that sounds really heavy seven bags of sugar

for a mower this feels really really light and and because you can hold it with both handles it makes it much easier to to move around

this lever allows you to operate with either hand for greater flexibility and manoeuvrability

on the noise front it is is what you would expect with a Flymo so it doesn't feel too loud to our ears it's certainly much quieter than a petrol mower and a lot less smelly too

let me show you what the grass looks like a bit closer

just so you can see this is what it looks like out of the box

with no adjustments to the blade height so that for us is just what we need

for the way that the Flymo Simpliglide works there are spacers

let me show you they come in the bag so you put the spacer in and that gives you a lower height we love it

this is exactly what we wanted and our fears like we said earlier were the the plastic blades feel a bit safer than having a spinning metal blade

but this metal blade seems less lethal if that makes sense

because it's so flat and flush with the motor it feels a lot safer and we are not the kind of gardeners who need the grass to be collected

we will just leave this out for it to dry out in the sun and blow away uh hopefully into our neighbour’s garden over that way where the massive petrol mower is making its way

if this video is helping I’m trying to get this channel to 1000 subscribers I don't think it'll ever happen - I’m on about 320 but as soon as we hit 1000 subscribers youtube actually give us money for these videos at no cost to you so if you're feeling awesome and extra kind why not hit that subscribe button or the thumbs up to let someone else see this video and good luck with your hover mower purchase

there's some other videos up here

this is what YouTube thinks you should be watching next
