Our verdict

Flymo suits UK and Irish gardens that want one brand for the robot mower and the rest of the garden kit, with app control and a shared battery platform across the range. Max area of 1,500 square metres and a warranty of 2 years are the trade-offs to weigh against rivals.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Range covers robot mower, lawn mower and trimmer, covering both robotic and hand held garden work under one brand

  • A shared battery platform means one charger can serve several Flymo machines
  • Operating noise of 58 decibels suits gardens close to neighbours
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre across phone, email and a help centre

Cons

  • Boundary wire navigation means the lawn needs a cable laid before the mower runs, on boundary wire.
  • Warranty of 2 years sits below the robot mower field, ranking 11 of 19.
  • Max area of 1,500 square metres ranks 10 of 14, below the largest mowers tracked.

Who it suits

  • Households wanting the robot mower and the wider garden kit from one brand, since robot mower, lawn mower and trimmer runs from robot mowers to pressure washers
  • Owners with a mid sized lawn close to the 1,500 square metre mark who are comfortable laying a boundary wire
  • Gardens near neighbours, where 58 decibels and app scheduling make runs easy to live with

Who should look elsewhere

  • Large estates above the listed 1,500 square metres, where a bigger mower from another brand gives more ground covered per charge
  • Buyers who want wire free navigation, since Flymo lists boundary wire
  • Anyone outside GB and IE who cannot source local parts and service

What it does well

The mower covers up to 1,500 square metres, a mid sized lawn rather than a full estate. Navigation is boundary wire, so the lawn has to be edged with a cable before the machine works on its own. Operating noise is listed at 58 decibels, low enough for gardens where neighbours are close. App control is supported, letting mowing be set up and watched from a phone, and the machines run on a shared battery platform, so one charger covers more than one tool. Warranty cover is 2 years, which is the figure to weigh most carefully, since robot mower batteries tend to age faster than the chassis around them.

Where it sits among rivals

On maximum area, Flymo's 1,500 square metres sits at 10 out of 14 brands tracked, so larger mowers from rivals handle more ground on a single charge. Warranty is the weaker of the two, with 2 years placing Flymo at 11 of 19 brands. The range itself is the stand out point: robot mowers, lawn mowers, trimmers, a leaf blower, a chainsaw, a pressure washer and garden tools sit under one roof, which is broader than Exmark's focus on mowers and close to the full spread offered by Fuxtec. Overall the brand scores 9, with the offer part at 9.

Who runs it

The UK operation trades as Flymo UK Husqvarna Group and is based in the United Kingdom. Flymo has been making garden machinery since 1965, so parts and repair knowledge sit with an established maker rather than a short lived brand. Support is available on email, phone and help centre, covering email, phone and a help centre, which is enough for setup questions and warranty claims without needing a visit. Sales run in GB and IE. Buyers elsewhere should confirm local servicing before buying a robot mower, since a machine that cuts grass unattended needs a nearby fix when a wheel or battery fails.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of machines does Flymo sell?+

Flymo spans robot mower, lawn mower and trimmer, so a single brand can cover the mower plus trimmers, a leaf blower, a chainsaw, a pressure washer and garden tools. That breadth suits buyers who would rather run one support line and one battery platform than mix suppliers.

Does the robot mower need a boundary wire?+

Flymo's listed navigation is boundary wire, which means a cable has to mark the lawn edges before the mower can work unattended. It suits a straightforward plot, and less suited to a lawn with complicated boundaries that need a wire run around every edge.

How much lawn can the mower cover, and how loud is it?+

The listed max area is 1,500 square metres, with operating noise of 58 decibels. The noise figure is low enough for many homes, though neighbours close to the mowing area will hear it during scheduled runs.

Can the mower be run from an app?+

App control is supported, so mowing can be set up and monitored from a phone. The mower also runs on a shared battery platform, which suits households with more than one Flymo machine and a preference for one charger.

How do I get help from Flymo?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering email, phone and a help centre. There is no live chat listed, so buyers who prefer typing into a chat window may find it slower than brands that offer one.

Which countries can I buy a Flymo in?+

Flymo runs in GB and IE, with a UK legal entity of Flymo UK Husqvarna Group based in the United Kingdom. Buyers outside those markets should check local servicing and parts cover before committing to a robot mower.

How established is the company behind the machines?+

Flymo has been making garden machines since 1965, and the UK operation trades as Flymo UK Husqvarna Group. A long history matters here because robot mowers need spares and repairs years after the first season, not just a warranty at purchase.

What warranty comes with the mower?+

Warranty cover is 2 years. On a robot mower the battery and the boundary wire are the parts most likely to need attention, so buyers who value longer cover may prefer a brand with a longer stated warranty.
