Flymo Lawnrake Compact 3400 Electric Lawnrake, 750 W, Cutting Width 34 cm

Product Information

The Flymo hover mowers brand has gone from strength to strength since these early days and it is hard to imagine visiting a garden centre now and not seeing the bright orange machines lining the aisles, with tools varying from battery powered grass trimmers to electric garden vacuums. Now part of the Electrolux Group, Flymo can rightly claim to sell over one million products within the U.K. during a financial year. They also boast a considerable export market; in doing so they have received multiple Queen's Awards for their achievements. I would avoid assembling this item in the front room as the tines may damage your carpet whilst being assembled. Short grass is ideal for scarifying your lawn. Longer grass is not impossible, but it requires more time, effort and patience to achieve. You should cut the grass with a lawn mowera couple of weeks before you plan to scarify the grass. This will ensure the grass is a suitable length to dethatch and it will minimise the stress on the grass. Generally, what attracts people to the tool is the fact that it’s lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and very effective for home use.

This Lawnrake is easy to assemble. I managed to assemble it within 15 minutes but found that the instructions weren’t easy to follow. All you need to do is to clip on the wheels and handles. They can go through their whole garden in a matter of minutes – something they could never achieve with a regular hand rake, plus their lawn looks way nicer than it did before. Despite only having a smaller motor compared to other more expensive models, the Flymo brand really excels when it comes to the raking heights. Whilst some rakes only offer four different heights, this electric Lawnrake has a range of six settings available. These can be adjusted using a single lever, ranging from -5mm (below the surface) to +8mm (above the surface).

For the most part, it’s best to scarify your lawn twice a year. Once at the beginning of the mowing season around March, and again at the end of September before the cold of winter sets in.

Once assembled, I was able to adjust the height of the raking tynes with one simple lever. Once this was done, then I simply plugged in and was off.

Excellent well designed product, easily put together out of box, in 15 minutes you will be using it. In addition to the height settings, the Flymo Lawnrake also excels with its cutting width of 34cm. When compared to other models in this section of the market, this width is slightly larger than the Bosch models such as the Bosch ALR 900 which has a 32cm width. Of course, continue to do your own research and you will probably find cutting width of up to 43cm but there’s no reason why 34cm can’t work with a normal-sized garden. Only those of you with a larger garden will need to consider the widest cutting widths. Collection box capacity – 34 litre collection capacity

I have reviewed the VonHaus 2-in-1 lawn scarifier if you’re interested. What I’ll Cover… This product’s design enables you to do just that, and is more than capable of removing all of that unwanted debris which is important for grass growth. Users seem to like that they have a great value lawn rake that does the job effectively, yet efficiently and is easy for everyone to use. The tines are the parts used to collect the thatch and moss from your lawn. This promotes rapid healthy grass growth, so make sure you replace lost or broken ones regularly.With a powerful cylinder rake, the Flymo makes it easy to free your garden from moss and thatch. Although the 750W isn’t perhaps as powerful as other models, I found it was still sufficient if you have an average sized garden.
