NXT 2.0 storage suggestion
I was at Home Depot the other day and found this very nice 10 compartment storage box from Stanley for $10.00. You can add and remove any of the 10 yellow inserts to change the compartment sizes. Brick, Ultrasonic Sensor, two Touch Sensors and two motors not visible in box because they're in use ;) Everything fits nicely, though, when disassembled.

I have a very similar case (also by Stanley) that I use for my NXT 1.0 kit. It has 10 compartments (you can move them around).
I might try to pick up a couple of this style (what you featured with the removable slots) for my other kits.

I use a Plano organizer:
See my blog post:
It has a lot more compartments so you can divide the pieces more and have two levels (up and bottom).

That looks like a great case.
I've got to mention two excellent vendors:
1. Plano (I'm using the 1354-00 "Rack system" viewable via http://www.planomolding.com/tackle/products.asp).
I sent them a note saying I had lost my spare dividers and they sent a complete replacement set at no charge. Excellent customer service.
2. RoboticsLearning.com -- Steve has an excellent customization of a tackle box that I've used in FLL classes. The kids really appreciate being able to find things and it helps us keep track of all the sets. http://www.roboticslearning.com/store/storage-nxt-fll.html

I agree that the Stanley version with the removable boxes is much more useful and easier to use.
I have two with 25 removable compartments and 6 of the ones with 10 compartments.

So how does your phone get emails, does your desktop send them? Or does your server just push them to your phone, or does your phone pull them from your server.
My Email is pushed to my phone via the Exchange 2003 server.
I ask because you mention that your desktop client was filtering to junk, and then you don't get them on your phone?
Well, the filter setup on the Exchange 2003 server side gets some of the junk messages... We receive an email daily from IT that contains a list of our "bounces". But that isn't enough. There is additional junk email that makes it through, and my Outlook Junk email filter (set at "High" but not White List only) will get some of it.
Is leaving your desktop on to filter the messages an option?
Yes. If I setup my phone to receive via PUSH then I will usually get/hear/feel the spam (uhg) on my phone first and then when it hits my Outlook some moments later it is removed from my inbox. To combat this, I have set my phone up to only download new messages every 30 minutes, and that way my Outlook client has an opportunity to filter out the junk. It collects a LOT of junk mail, but I'm still getting a 5-10 about every hour that make it through the junk email filter.
Its always better to filter the mail before it gets put into your mailbox. Ie at the server or at a server/service before it even hits your exchange server.
You should be able to setup server type rules to filter out mail with rules so that your desktop would not have to be running.
I need to look into this. I'm hesitant to turn up my Outlook spam filter to White List only. However, it would be nice for the server to place all the email from folks in my contact list in my Inbox and then all other email either gets filtered out because it is Junk or goes into another folder that won't ping my phone. I've tried setting this up and am having the following problems with it:
* Any rule that seems to rotate around my contact list (even though my contact list is on the exchange server) switches from a server side rule to a client side rule. Instead of using "sender is in specified Address Book", I try "from people or public group". From there I can select everyone in my address book, and it will stay as a server side rule. But it won't let me select any of my "Groups" and insists on expanding those groups into individual email addresses as the entry (essentially the same as selecting everyone in my contact list). This is undesirable because it means I have to update the rule to "white list" someone on the server side.
* I can't seem to "invert" the rule. I can move messages from "people or public group" or move messages where "sender is in specified Address Book" but there doesn't seem to be a rule to move message from people NOT in a list or NOT in a specified address book. I would like to keep a white list in my Inbox, and all others go to some folder that I can sort through periodically but not my Junk email that contains just a crap ton of uselss junk.
If your getting the same type of emails, it may be possible to just create a server side rule to put them in a specific folder that does not get sent to you phone or just deleted, etc. That would be nice... but they seem to all be different
Could you post up some of these spam messages with full headers and we can take a look? Maybe find something that could be used to filter them on. Ok, here are a few that I received today:
From: DEACON GAJINDER MANAWALIA <email@example.com> Subject: FOR GOD'S PEOPLE
From: mrs Serah shinn <email@example.com> Subject: Dearest in the Lord,
From :BIYI WILLIAMS <email@example.com> Subject: GOOD DAY.}}}
From: email@example.com Subject: (none)
From: wftye <email@example.com> Subject: (in some kind of Asian character set).
From: MR. RICHARD BROWN <email@example.com> Subject: FROM BRISTOL MEYERS COMPANY
From: (Asian character set) Subject (Asian character set) <-- I get lots and lots of these...
So are you the only user having these spam issues? If a company wide issue your IT might want to look for a better solution.
I think that some of the folks that have been with the company for awhile get the spam the worst. At one point about 5-10 years ago someone decided that we should have all of our email addresses on our public web site and we have been getting an insane amount of spam ever since. I think that it is probably a company wide issue, but I just don't have the authority to make it an issue other than complaining about it to IT.
Posted 01 June 2012 - 19:49
Posted 01 June 2012 - 20:11
maybe something like this is more of what you want
Your company should really invest in a quality antispam solution, not use the built in antispam solution. It was adequate at best in 2003.

TG drives the VW XL1 in London
Our first test of the 100mpg+ tech-laden VW eco machine on London's roads. Can it handle the capital?
Posted: 13 Dec 2013
London is smiling. Top Gear's home city, bathed in July sun, has got the summer mood. The buildings and streets and views look magnificent, the people have opened their hearts and minds. It's an ideal morning to present them with something utterly fresh. A pearlescent-white streamlined personal transport module that looks like it's been beamed in from a future decade. A VW XL1. And they love it.
We stop outside the former Bluebird Garage in Chelsea, now in their words a 'gastrodome' of high-end food joints. Swing up the semi-gullwing door. A man comes over. What is it, what's it cost, when's it on sale? I tell him it's all about economy, but not cheapness - £50k plus, price not confirmed. "I don't care. I'm going to order one." Later, in Smithfield, it's the same quiz, from a man who has an R8 Spyder. I mention it might be too slow for him. He doesn't seem put off.
So it goes, all day. As a scaled-down supercar the XL1 obviously entices petrol-heads, but not just them. Geeks go for it - maybe to them it's a scaled-up computer mouse. It manages to be entirely non-threatening, so even as we short-cut through Clerkenwell, hipster motherlode of the fixie bicycle, where decadent internal combustion is frowned upon, it gets smiles. Tourist kids in Parliament Square go ape for it. Gorgeous summer-dressed women too. That never happens with supercars, not outside Italy anyway. At one point I get back in and move off, and we overhear someone say, "I can't believe that's just someone's car." Yup, it looks like some static exhibit, not something with number plates that comes out of a car dealer.
On the road, it moves through a non-stop Mexican wave of panning phonecams. Our photographer Rowan, in the car behind with his windows wound down, reports the most common reaction is simply a rather delighted questioning expletive. Yes, London loves it.
So does Top Gear. I've followed its development, been to the factory where its high-tech carbonfibre body is lovingly assembled by an artisanal workforce, and driven it down some foggy, wet Swiss motorways. But this is the day when I can experience the XL1 on roads we know. Time for it to show us its abilities, and how good it is. And, more important really, how it makes us feel.
Obviously it's VW's highest-tech car. But it's also the VW Group's joint highest-tech car, along with the Porsche 918. And it shares a vast amount in concept (if no actual parts, of course) with the 918. It's a two-seater, with a carbonfibre tub and carbonfibre panels. It runs a mid-mounted piston engine, in parallel with an electric motor, and a DSG transmission, driving the rear wheels. It has a battery, and can run in electric plug-in mode, or part-electric hybrid mode. It has highly advanced aerodynamics, and carbon composite brakes. (Unlike the Porsche it doesn't have a front e-motor, nor any 'performance' modes.)
These technologies - aero, powertrain and lightweight - all serve efficiency, but while the 918 employs them in service of performance, in the VW it's all about economy. Strangely, its exterior designer Peter Wouda, who's my passenger today, says the Porsche 917 was an inspiration - look at the first 1969 cars and you see what he means.
He also cites a shark. "They're such low-drag, and they were perfected by evolution so long ago." He's talking about the XL1's wide and low front-end and its tapering rear. Small wonder one passer-by asked if it went underwater. His aim was for the pattern of lights and lines at the front to look "focused and attentive", rather than either aggressive or cute. Most of the design work was about surfacing: the proportions and basic shape were dictated by packaging and the need to shave drag and frontal area to the very minimum. They even managed to get lipstick cameras homologated in place of draggy door mirrors.
Open the XL1's semi-gullwing doors and drop into its narrow cabin. Frankly it feels a little claustrophobic. You're as low as a serpent, and the view forward is great but backward and upward very limited. But there's enough space. You sit on a thinly upholstered one-piece carbonfibre seat which, to save weight, doesn't recline, but only tilts and slides. Am I uncomfortable? Not at all. The passenger's seat is entirely fixed, and further back than you because the battery is ahead of their feet. Otherwise the cockpit is simple and elegantly sparse, both pragmatically to save weight and philosophically to keep the focus on the technical nature of the car.
Driving it, you remain utterly focused too. I find I've developed a tic, always dropping an eye to the instruments, watching how the engine starts and stops, and how amazing economy figures keep popping up on the trip computer: somewhere between 170 and 200mpg most of the time. That economy isn't merely by cheating and supplementing its diesel diet with stored mains electricity from the battery. The battery charge isn't depleting very fast either. The fact is this car just requires very little power of any kind to move it along.
In fact at a steady 62mph on level ground, it needs just 8bhp if there's no headwind. It is indeed stable and capable on a motorway, but it's limited to 100mph because otherwise it'd need bigger brakes and tyres and cooling, so would be less efficient at normal speeds. Besides, like any low-powered low-drag car, its acceleration tails off noticeably beyond 60-ish.
Low-powered? There's 27bhp of electric motor, and 47bhp of 800cc twin-cylinder diesel. It uses the electric motor for most running around today, the diesel only cutting in when you need a spurt of acceleration or high speed. The start-up is amazingly smooth, so I often don't notice it unless I'm looking at the tach. It's achieved by using the traction motor and clever automated operation of three clutches (two in the DSG, one between the e-motor and diesel).
Another reason I don't notice the start-ups is that the twin-cylinder diesel is quieter than you might imagine, and it's near-drowned by lots of other noise. Sound deadening is heavy so VW didn't use much. You hear the tyres rumbling along the tarmac, you hear the graunch of the carbon brakes. Most of all, you hear the noise of the traffic around you through the polycarbonate windows and thin carbon bodywork.
Despite the fact that VW very badly needs me to return this car without any wounds (it was transported straight down to Goodwood that evening), Rowan our photographer, in the car behind, said afterward I was "driving it like a Londoner".
Quite so. It bids you to do just that. It accelerates nippily off the line, steers with delicious accuracy, and uses its slimness to point into cheeky traffic gaps. I was also swerving around pot-holes: the suspension is firm, and though the car feels very strong I didn't want to be hard on it.
The door cameras are a bit odd: they're not far off the ground, actually lower than the screens that they feed. This means what you see is mostly wheels. This worm's-eye view is intimidating at first, but you soon realise it's all the information you need because you're never going to be crushed by a truck that's hovering, wheel-less, above your field of vision.
What makes the XL1 so wonderful - OK, apart from the fact everyone thinks you're a person of taste and discernment for driving one - is the deep engagement in driving it. You watch the dials and listen to the powertrain to get best economy, you avoid the brakes by anticipating the car's motion and how it swims with the traffic. The steering, without assistance, gives you an intimate connection to the road. Eventually you get close to a non-physical state, where you're getting along with almost no energy, powered only by thought.
Not your own thought, mind you, but the immense brainpower of the VW boffins who created this thing. Topped up by the goodwill of London itself.

Making your first day together with a probable companion is a lot more difficult compared to when you are yet seeking a date. Right? Furthermore, the first time you meet up with your date is certainly interesting and might result in anxiousness as well. So many what if's…
You will surely feel sick and start feeling butterflies in your stomach as the hours get closer to the given meeting time. It is because of the frustration, worries, which is normal for every adult dating experience and expectation of things pertaining to that person you are about to connect with. Then a recognizable face starts to head out your way, you start to panic, confuse if this is the person you are meeting. The person might appear to be your date but not sure, you simply can't determine what but there is surely something wrong from what you have envisioned.
During the "getting to know you" stage on the internet, the tendency is for someone to over express themselves. To point out stuff that is partly true and partly not so as to win over the other person; forgetting to bring up the "not so good" traits.
The worse circumstance could be, you were expecting a much younger or good looking person as seen in the picture.
So what must you do now? Disguise yourself? Escape? Say to the other person, it was not you? That is being rude or obnoxious. What's next?
Keep in mind that the profile you see on the online dating sites are created to charm other searchers. If this is the situation, everyone knows that almost all of the details you obtain from it are all the favorable traits of a person. Rarely do you find a person exposing its deficiencies and drawback when they are out there impressing someone who could be intrigued with them. Right?
The online profiles are like the persuading line of a speech. So exactly how will you realize that this particular individual who has caught your attention is the right one for you? To be honest, it can be hard. Rather, it is so tough to be aware of kind of person one is with just a image and a few information about him or her.
But this is not to deter you from joining online dating. You can still trust to find someone special thru adult online dating websites. You simply need to keep in mind a number of imperative details prior to setting your first date.
4 Easy Steps You Can Apply Before Setting Your First Date:
- Don't go rushing and trying to set a date with the other person. Build your relationship with him or her first through emails. Do this as frequently as you can to be able to communicate with your partner and discover how he deal with your email. By simply swapping email messages with the other person, you can discover a whole lot about him or her already. Check if he answers each and every question you have in the email, or is he interested to share anything about him or do you find something he likes that interests you too.
- Give it some time in knowing the person. Do not let things go quickly to set a date so soon. A person who would like to quicken everything sounds suspicious. What's with the speed thingy? Entering into a relationship necessitates dedication, let alone learning to love another person. Time is vital. The two of you need to give time and effort in order to truly understand a person. You will need much more than an e-mail or a telephone call. It's really more than that.
- You could now go to the next phase after a good number of e-mailing back and forth by arranging a phone call. Have the number of your prospective partner and phone him. Use a blocked number and you can tell him the reasons why you are doing this for now. Simply let him understand that you are still reluctant to just share your number to a complete stranger. If he is persistent and doesn't like to listen to your explanation, then don't waste your time on a real individual.
- If your telephone dialogue should go without problems, this is your leverage to come to a decision and proceed to the next step. Your very first date. Choose to meet him during daytime. You can opt for a coffee or have noon-time meal together. An hour or less is sufficient enough for your first date. If you feel like the time spent together is not really adequate, then you can set another date.
If this goes on and on, then obviously you can tell that this person can be a good shot and the two of you should have a chance of having a long-term and worthwhile romantic relationship together.

Also, coming up next week, the Mattie Kelly Arts Center at Northwest Florida State College brings the touring Broadway production of "Hair" to its stage in Niceville.
There's a full story and photograph on page C9, but I didn't want you to overlook it. It's one of the shows I'd dearly love to see, and if it weren't on Wednesday night — Showcase press night — I'd so be there.
Today's cover story about the Ricky Nelson Remembered show is the result of an interview I did with one of the late star's twin sons, Matthew.
Ironically, the telephone conversation took place the morning of the same day I fell in the afternoon and cracked my back.
Matthew could not have been more gracious. We talked for a full 30 minutes, and it was I who ended the interview.
He shared many wonderful stories about his family, more than what would fit into the story.
"I have hundreds of favorite memories," he said.
One involved him and Gunnar being told on their 12th birthday they had to go to the dentist, news they did not accept gracefully.
"Mom picked us up in the old station wagon, and we didn't have the greatest attitude, I'll admit," he recalled.
When they arrived, however, they found themselves at a recording studio and a surprise recording session arranged by their dad.
"Friends and family just kept showing up," he said. "And there were these two killer singers doing backup who we found out later were the Pointer Sisters.
"The lesson from all this was: Mind your attitude and good things will happen."
Another "thank you" seems in order this week.
I'm touched and humbled by the outpouring of support I've received regarding my appointment by Florida Senate President Don Gaetz to the Florida Council on Arts and Culture.
My greatest hope is that I prove worthy of the confidence both he and you have placed in me. Thank you.

The System Seven chest protector is jam-packed with high end features. Numerous thin layers of foam were handpicked and layered for specific qualities, such as breath-ability, flexibility, and dampening. All-Star strategically placed lightweight plastic plates around the collar bone, throat and sternum areas so that the chest protector will take the brunt of the impact, not you. On the CP30PRO, the true beauty lies between the bars. Six pads have been wedged, and as a result balls blocked kick downward.

N3 list price: US $19 999;
N2 list price:$14 999
This is part of IEEE Spectrum's Special Report on IEEE SPECTRUM'S 2009 Holiday Gift Guide. To see the AvantGrand in action, watch the video, "A Digital Piano with Good Vibrations."
There are home pianos and there are concert grand pianos, and unless you've resided in Graceland or Neverland, the two have always been quite different things. First, there's the size—a concert grand piano is at least 2.5 meters (8 feet) long. Then there's the cost—US $120 000 and up. But surely in today's digital world, we should be able to simulate the concert experience in our own living rooms, right?
That task has turned out to be surprisingly hard. But Yamaha, the world's largest manufacturer of musical instruments, may have finally done it with its AvantGrand digital piano. Using its 2.7-meter (9-foot) CFIIIS concert grand piano as its inspiration, Yamaha has spent the past 15 years developing a digital piano for the rest of us.
I found the response and the feel quite expressive. The piano mimics an acoustic instrument, with transducers inside reverberating at the touch of your hands and feet, and superb keyboard action remarkably similar to that of Yamaha's large grand pianos. Yamaha has also sampled all 88 notes from four locations within the CFIIIS; the AvantGrand replays them through four speakers located in corresponding positions to emulate the sound of notes bouncing off a grand piano's lid.
Does it sound like a hundred grand? No. The technology needed to replicate an exquisite, handcrafted instrument like the CFIIIS doesn't exist and possibly never will. However, the AvantGrand sounds and plays better than many acoustic pianos in the $15 000 to $20 000 range while requiring little space and no tuning. Its sound tends to be a bit bright, producing unflattering overtones during complex musical passages. Customizable equalization controls would remedy this.

Allison Wyatt was a six-year-old student of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Kate Capellaro of All for Kids in Ridgefield last saw Allison over the summer and described her to the New Haven Register: "She was a very shy girl, she was quiet and kept to herself, but she would smile at things. If a kid did something funny, she'd be laughing."
Messages on a Facebook tribute for Allison read "Our prayers go out to you and your family," and "Rest in Peace and look over those who love you."

Around world, gun rules, and results, vary wildly
OOI, Japan After a tragedy like the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, the statistic is always trotted out. Compared to just about anywhere else with a stable, developed government - and many countries without even that - the more than 11,000 gun-related killings each year in the United States are simply off the charts.
To be sure, there are nations that are worse. But others see fewer gun homicide deaths in one year than the 27 people killed Dec. 14 in Newtown, Connecticut.
As Americans debate gun laws, people on both sides point to the experiences of other countries to support their arguments. Here's a look at two success stories - with two very different ways of thinking about gun ownership - and one cautionary tale.
Gunfire rings through the hills at a shooting range at the foot of Mount Fuji. There are few other places in Japan where you'll hear it.
In this country, guns are few and far between. And so is gun violence. Guns were used in only seven murders in Japan - a nation of about 130 million - in all of 2011, the most recent year for official statistics. According to police, more people - nine - were murdered with scissors.
Though its gun ownership rates are tiny compared to the United States, Japan has more than 120,000 registered gun owners and more than 400,000 registered firearms. So why is there so little gun violence?
"We have a very different way of looking at guns in Japan than people in the United States," said Tsutomu Uchida, who runs the Kanagawa Ohi Shooting Range, an Olympic-style training center for rifle enthusiasts. "In the U.S., people believe they have a right to own a gun. In Japan, we don't have that right. So our point of departure is completely different."
Treating gun ownership as a privilege and not a right leads to some important policy differences.
First, anyone who wants to get a gun must demonstrate a valid reason why they should be allowed to do so. Under longstanding Japanese policy, there is no good reason why any civilian should have a handgun, so - aside from a few dozen accomplished competitive shooters - they are completely banned.
Virtually all handgun-related crime is attributable to gangsters, who obtain them on the black market. But such crime is extremely rare and when it does occur, police crack down hard on whatever gang is involved, so even gangsters see it as a last-ditch option.
Rifle ownership is allowed for the general public, but tightly controlled.
Applicants first must go to their local police station and declare their intent. After a lecture and a written test comes range training, then a background check. Police likely will even talk to the applicant's neighbors to see if he or she is known to have a temper, financial troubles or an unstable household. A doctor must sign a form saying the applicant has not been institutionalized and is not epileptic, depressed, schizophrenic, alcoholic or addicted to drugs.

Built On The Rock Wins NJ State Tournament!
Built On The Rock, the FLL team I participate in, had their state tournament yesterday in Mt. Olive highschool, NJ. With two perfect 400's out of three rounds, we won the Robot Performance and Champions awards, and will be going on to Atlanta for the World Championships! The award in the left of the picture is the Champion's award (note it's bigger than the right one), and the one on the right is the 1st place Robot Performance award. Our robot is in the middle on top of a pie (traditional thing in NJ - they give pies to all the winners :) ).

Thanks, Robolab. We used NXT-G (only move blocks, to be specific). No, we aren't releasing any pictures of the robot until after Atlanta, so that our ideas will be kept secret.

Amazing that flat-out rotations can get you 400 points nowadays! So you didn't use any other sensor? I think I see a touch bumper in the front?

Nope, we only use the built-in rotation sensors. It's actually quite easy to do as long as you make the missions work with slight variability.

Tauck's "Classic New England" Tour
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
Arthur Tauck Sr. started the whole leaf-peeping trade in 1925, when he first took paying passengers to see the beautiful colors of autumn. Last year, photographer Susie Cushner came along for Tauck's "Classic new England" Tour and found many surprises along the way.
Day One
I first meet Scotty Johnston at Boston's Omni Parker House hotel, the gathering place for Tauck's "Classic New England" foliage tour. He's been around, beginning with Tauck as a tour guide about 50 years ago. With his white beard and hair, Scotty is a dead ringer for Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street. For the next few days he'll guide me in our SUV, as we shadow the motor coach carrying foliage seekers from around the country and the world. We know there'll be times when I need to stop and explore while the tour drives ahead, so Scotty, who knows the route as well as his own hometown, will be my bridge.
Our first stop is Lexington Green, to soak in the echoes of the American Revolution. We continue west to Concord and Orchard House, home of Louisa May Alcott, then on to beautiful, historic Monument Street and the Old North Bridge. Now, I traveled this road for 25 years with my children. Did we ever stop to visit the Old North Bridge? No. On this day the air is clear, and the trees are washed in autumn color. History and leaves make a potent combination.
The "scenic route" is something most people avoid. I usually do. It takes too long; it's crowded and congested. But as we make our way up to Salem, Massachusetts, I begin to understand what the draw is. It's Columbus Day weekend, and Salem teems with visitors. Scotty and I stroll the streets, brimming with open markets and a fall-festival atmosphere.
A woman approaches us in period dress. In colonial English she informs us of a reenactment soon in the town center. We wend our way through the city, saving the best for last: tree-lined Chestnut Street. Scotty's passion is historic architecture, which he shares with great enthusiasm, pointing out lovely old sea captains' homes.
Leaving Salem, Scotty takes the wheel, and we follow the bus tour from the coastal towns north of Boston on our way to the coastal towns of New Hampshire and southern Maine. All of these destinations hold personal memories that have shaped my life and the lives of my children: Essex (and Woodman's fried clams) … Ipswich … antiquing for props after a long day at the beach, where 22 years ago, I felt the first twinges of labor before the birth of my second daughter. There's a unique fall smell in the air in these coastal towns. It's salty, mixed with a weathered fishermen's culture, textured by the vast painterly marshes. It's evocative and compelling.
We continue up a craggy stretch of New Hampshire coastline, just north of Salisbury, Massachusetts, that I've never seen before. The sun is fading past summer shacks, closed for the season. The sea is washing over sandy beaches and bare picnic tables. The sky turns a shade of purple that only this transitional season produces, soft against the cool snap in the air. I can't believe this is only the first day, and we still have a bit to go before reaching Portsmouth, our evening destination. What a day!
Coming into Wallis Sands, Scotty mentions that we're approaching a stretch of his favorite homes overlooking the sea: magnificent summer "cottages," built in the decades when industrialists were creating huge financial empires. As we make our way into Portsmouth, we almost drive past an old church with a multitude of pumpkins on the front lawn. Scotty glances at me. In the last light of October 11, I have to try: We won't see another display of pumpkins that measures up to that one. Lucky.
Day Two
After breakfast we load up our gear and head out into the chill, driving north to famous Nubble Light on Cape Neddick, outside York, Maine. The sun pokes through a steel-gray autumn sky, creating the perfect atmosphere to see this classic setting. With Scotty at the wheel, I notice two little girls perched on an "outlook" platform, stretching on tippy-toes to peer through the bulky metal viewing binoculars. With camera in hand, I scramble to discreetly exit the SUV. This is my unexpected gift at Nubble Light.

" The Flymo Turbo Lite 330 is a lightweight and compact lawnmower, perfect for smaller areas of grass. However, no grass collection unit means you have to rake the grass afterwards. "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
For a long time I didn't have a lawn, and so I didn't need a lawnmower, but recently I acquired a lawn, and so shortly after I acquired a lawnmower. More specifically, I acquired the Flymo Lawn Mower, and I wasn't disappointed. This is the first lawnmower I've ever owned, and it's a beauty. I couldn't believe how light it is and how easy to use it is - as its name suggest, it flies around the lawn. My lawn is only small (about 4x5 metres) but this mower tackles it easily and I can't imagine it having any difficulty with a bigger lawn. The handle's a perfect height for me, and it's a pleasure to use - it doesn't get 'stuck,' even when I've let the grass grow a bit, and it does well at mowing the lawn right to edges. The cable's nice and long, and you can adjust the cutting height to four different heights. What's more, it only cost me £60. If you've got £60, and you've got a lawn, you could do a lot worse than spending your £60 on the Flymo Lawn Mower. That's what I think, anyway.
A small lawn mower that is good for small gardens.
My husband bought this Flymo lawn mower to use with our larger petrol lawn mower because that was too big to fit into some parts of the garden. I cannot use the big lawn mower because it is too heavy so when we are tidying up the garden at the end of a season my husband mows the grass and I use this to get into the corners and along the side of his shed also.
This Flymo Turbo Lite is easy to work and has got the controls on the handle, these are levers and are very easy to press and still keep your hands on the handle to control where the mower is going. I think the mower is easy to steer and it always goes to where I want it to even in very tight places that are only about wide enough for the mower to go in, it does not cut all of the way to the edges because the plastic orange case is larger than the blades but it cuts most of the grass and does not leave very much for you to cut with another method.
The blades are plastic and they can be broken if you mow over a stone, you can buy them quite cheap and they are not fragile so you do not have to worry that they are going to break easily. There are 3 settings on the lawn mower for different lengths of grass, I always have it set to the shortest setting because I am mowing very awkward places so would not want to do it very often. It cuts through grass that is quite thick but would not cut through some new grass that we had planted and only flattened it instead of making it shorter.
The power cord is 12 metres long and it is tough, I do not think it would be very easy to cut through it by accident but I am very careful and hold the cord over my shoulder and off the ground. 12 metres is long but I would need another few metres to get to all parts of my garden so I plug it into an extension lead, my husband says this is dangerous but I cannot see of any other way to mow all of the grass if the cord is not long enough!
The mower is easy to keep clean because there is no grass box or hard to reach areas. I do not keep mine so clean as I should and there is usually dry grass stuck to it but I make sure that the blades are clean before I put it away.
I am happy that it cuts the grass even and it is very light to push, even when I have to carry it up 3 steps it is not heavy and I would never struggle if I had to carry it for a short distance. It is not used to mow very large areas of grass and I think it would not be suitable or convenient to use it to do the whole of a big garden, it would be suited to a front garden or if you have got small awkward parts to your garden like I have.
The Flymo Turbo Lite lawn mower costs about £70 and I think that is good value because it is a useful small lawn mower. We have replaced blades 3 times when it has hit something hard down in the grass but the blades are not expensive so I do not care about that, my husband says that changing the blades is very easy and it does not take him long to do only a few minutes.
4 Dooyoo Stars.
This lawn mower was bought from Argos for £74.99. We have a VERY small front and back garden ( due to the extension taking over the garden) so only needed a simple cheap lawn mower that wasn't going to break on us. We thought this one would be good because the brand has been recommended to us by friends and family who also have Flymo lawn mowers, although they do have the more advanced versions which actually collect the grass while mowing it. We weren't too bothered about having to collect the grass when we first got it, and it doesn't bother us now either, as we pretty much only cut the grass about 2 times per year.
It's pretty straight forward in terms of use, simply plug it in, put it on the grass and then hold the orange handles in, push the button and keep hold of the orange handles while in use. However, this is where we encountered problems, as it can be annoying to hold the handles all the time when mowing and if you let go of them accidentally, the whole machine will switch off which can be very irritating if you're in the middle of mowing. Once you get used to it though it seems alright. If your grass is very long, it won't cut it properly and you have to go over the grass with a pair of clippers before using the mower or else the grass will be choppy and uneven, so I would probably recommend cutting your grass more often if you want to use this mower easily.
The cord on the mower is very long, more than adequate and we just plug it into a wall in the house and use. There is no need to buy an extension lead unless you have a very long garden.
One downside is that when you carry the lawn mower back and forth between the front and back garden, a trail of grass will fall in the house. Storage is easy as the cord simply winds around the prongs and it sits upright in the shed.
Overall, an average lawn mower for a good price. Not bad, not great.
I thought the reviews seemed alright for this mower and it is the cheapest model available ... I would have been better cutting my lawn with a pair of child proof scissors!
The only benefit of this mower is the fact it cost me just £30 from B&Q. If I had paid any more I would have cried!
It took me roughly 5 minutes to put the mower together and immediately I noticed the plastic blade. It is really simple to put together but my new mower was aswell and that is a massive improvement on this model!
The wire is a decent length for what I need but if it was any longer, I would have struggled. Also it is very easy to store. It isn't all negative with this lawn mower, when it isn't being used, it is very good for storing, so if you don't have a lawn to cut, and want to show off a lawn mower, I recommend this model ... that is all I could recommend it for.
Terrible, terrible and terrible! You will spend twice as long going over patches that this "thing" has supposedly cut, that it would take to cut it by hand using a pair of scissors.
I don't expect much from a lawn mower, turn it on, run it around and get a pretty even cut all over. It the grass is thicker in one area, or not upright, I found the mower pushes it flat and doesn't cut it at all.
I shouldn't have expected much for £30 but the least I expected was for it to cut the grass all over not pick and choose the areas!
+++Why don't I like it?+++
There are a few reasons, the way it blows air down to allow it to glide easily just means the grass below is pushed down making it almost impossible to cut, I spent 20 minutes mowing my lawn, then 40 minutes going over patches it missed having to stand it up on end to get the mower to cut it.
Another problem is the blade, whoever thought a plastic blade would be a good idea is insane! Occasionally you go over rocks, not intentionally but it happens. Just the second time I used the thing, the blade broke so I had to go and buy a few replacements. They have since broken and the lawn mower is now at the local tip!
It does move easily, but i'd prefer it to be heavy and a struggle but work well than an easy movement but a terrible finish!
It feels cheap, performance is terrible and the only plus is that storing it is simple, i'd give it 0/5 if I could!
It may float on a cushion of air and it may be cheap, but I will never buy another one of these hover mowers. I bought my flymo from homebase for £34.99 on sale. It is certainly light, easy to pick up. The cord is an absolute pain. It allows a reach of approximately 60 feet and when not in use has to be wrapped endlessly around the handle. Whenever you use it, you have to unwind the cord which will have fallen into a tangled mass of coils on top of the base unit.
There is some minor assembly when bought, but five minutes is all you will need. The flymo operates using a little plastic blade that slots in underneath. It's worth buying a few replacements as this blade will break at the slightest provocation. I went through four during one summer. It also doesn't like cutting any real accumulation of grass. It just blows it flat, making it even more of a pain to cut, needing a number of passes to get a patchy finish.
In my direct experience as an owner and user of this product, the description of this item stating that its motor is powerful enough to "tackle the toughest grass conditions" is patently untrue. Neither does it "cut easily in every direction".
Another reason why you should not consider buying this particular flymo is that there is no grass collector. You will be reduced to grabbing handfuls of cut grass, and if your garden is any appreciable size at all (mine is only forty foot by twenty), there will inevitably be plenty of cut grass blown into every concievable corner in addition to what's left on the lawn. Bad news if you have any hay fever sufferers or asthmatics in your house.
It does store easily, but I was almost thankful when the mower burned out after three summers. I replaced it with a wheeled Qualcast for little more money that is far, far more effective at cutting grass. It also has a collector and a steel cutting blade worthy of the name.
Advantages of a flymo hover mower:
Cheap (ish)
Easy to store
Disadvantages of this flymo hover mower:
Bad at cutting grass
No grass collector
Blows cut grass everywhere
Blades are a joke
Flex storage is a pain
As our garden is slightly sloped, I wanted a lawn mower that was self-propelled to give me added help whilst pushing it, but I didn't want anything too heavy to lug about as I have on going back problems. After reading many reviews on different types we thought that this one would be good to go with.
The FLymo's power consumption is a whooping 1150 watts that runs on a 240v supply, cutting width is 33cm, 4 step cutting system that can cut between 10 - 30mm with it's metal blade. Good sized cable which is 10 meters in length. Overall weigh is 6.5 kg.
All boxed up nicely with easy to understand instructions. The Flymo comes with a one year guarantee. Very easy to put together just involves the main handle, which needs assembling. One thing that I did notice first off was that it didn't come with a grass box, so if your grass is long, then expect plenty of raking up after you've cut it, or if you have the time then just go back over the lawn and it'll suck it all up.
The handles can be a bit fiddly when setting up and extending, as you have to ensure that the plastic pin is inserted correctly
Love the metal blade as it cuts through the grass really well - just like a knife cutting through butter. It really is effortless to use and I'd say that it takes me half the time now to mow the lawn than I used to take with my old petrol mower. As with most mowers it's best to mow the grass when it's completely dry other wise if the grass is wet then it will drag and an untidy mess is created and the lawn mowed will get clogged up.
So far I've only had to replace the blade once, which was easy to do and cost me just under £15 through the Amazon website. To remove the blade you need to use the ring spanner that is supplied with the mower (this can also be used to add the spacers if you need to make a closer cut).
I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a good value, lightweight lawn mower that has great ability to cut the lawn in a neat and tidy fashion with minimal effort required by the user.
Purchased from B & Q for £96.99 4 years ago.
Flymo is a name which stands for quality in my opinion, having been a fan of flymo gardening products for many years I am happy to be able to offer advice on my experience of which stands as my current lawnmower, the Flymo Turbo Lite 330!
This edition of the flymo is a lightweight hover mower which boasts a 1150 watt electro motor which delivers ample power to slice through those overgrown strands of grass..
The hover design gives off a more accurate cut throughout even across uneven levels of ground. The Turbo Lite 330 is very light at only 6.5 KG's so it literally does just hover over the lengthy grass.
The turbo lite features a metal blade which can be sharpened or replaced appropriately, other spare parts can be purchased cheaply online, the device also features a power cable which is 10metres in length.
The flymo is a well recognised design which comes in bright orange and grey, the power cable is also bright orange for easier visibility.
The turbo lite is a bagless device which operates by a cushion of air at the base of unit which blows excess grass out of the front and sides of the unit, the fan is very powerful and seems to blow all excess grass and leaves well away from the unit. However this then creates the issue of having to rake the garden after mowing to collect all the left overs!!
It is also very well priced in comparison to other lawnmowers priced from between £65 and £70 and is available across many popular high street stores and internet shops including Tesco and Argos and may be found cheaper still on eBay.
It is always difficult choosing items such as a lawnmower these days due to the fact that there are so many on the market. For me I just wanted something that was reliable and safe and capable of cutting the small patch of grass I own on a regular basis.
After a long search through ratings I ended up going for the Flymo Turbo Lite 330 purely because other owners had rated it highly and commented on its longevity. I had never heard of Flymo but they specialise in machinery and have a vast range of different lawnmowers.
The lawnmower is electric powered and has around 20 metres of cable (perfect for my small garden). I simply plug the cable into a socket. To get it going I pull in one of the levers on the handle and whilst held down I push a button in the centre of the handle. This gets the blade going and makes the whole mower lighter and easy to move round the garden.
The blade underneath the mower chops away with great power and ease (1150 watts). I have had a couple of problems when the grass is extremely long where the mower has become jammed. In these instances I simply release the lever and the blade becomes motionless. I can then safely dislodge the grass and continue on my mowing. The blade is plastic but I am yet to experience any damage even though I have accidently run over large twigs and stones
What really impressed me was the noise of the machine. It is very quiet so I have no worries about mowing early whilst my neighbors slumber.
I paid £59.99 for the machine and it serves its purpose well. Although it struggles with long grass it has made over 30 mows already and has no signs of letting up.
After a few years of being in my new house and decorating it from top to bottom; it was time to start on the outside. The outside looked great when we moved in, but the sparkling new lawn soon turned into a giant brown stain as the grass the builders left me with, started to disintegrate. Why do builders like to brush all their rubbish in a pile and then proceed to lay turf on it? The cliché "sweeping it under the carpet" springs to mind.
After paying a lot of money for it landscaping and brand new sexy, velvety turf laid down; it was time to invest in a new toy to keep the lawn looking lush. I was pretty excited about finally having grass to mow and thought it would be great to have a cup of tea and watch my boyfriend cutting the lawn through the kitchen window. I imagined him steadily moving the mower up and down, perfecting the pin stripe look, while the neighbours watched in envy.
Alas it was all a dream and as with most jobs around the house; it seemed to fall in my domain. If I was going to be the chief lawn mower of the house, I wanted an easy to use, light machine than gave good results without too much effort.
I selected the Flymo Turbo Lite 330.
*Price and availability*
I paid £59.99 from my local garden centre for the Flymo Turbo Lite 330. Amazon currently have it on offer for £54.99. I think this is a reasonable price.
When you purchase the lawn mower and open the box, you would think you have bought it from Ikea as it does need a bit of assembly! Also in the box, however is the trusty instruction manual has really easy to follow step by step instructions. If I can do it; then so can you!
The machine is orange weighs 6.4kg so it is light enough to push around. This is such a good advantage because the last thing I want to do is to work up a sweat!
The machine has a long handle that sits comfortably just above the waist so you can push it round. This handle is collapsible for easy storage and makes the mower fit perfectly in my shed.
It has a double lever trigger on the top of the handle with the rubber button 'on' switch located in the centre. This means you need both hands to start the mower. This is a great safety feature, especially when you are as accident prone as I am.
Underneath the mower is the rotating drum which two plastic blades attached to it at opposite ends. I was a bit surprised to see plastic blades underneath, however they work just fine and the advantages are that i) they are cheaper to replace ii) they are much safer if you run over the lead. These are must less likely to puncture the lead's insulation, and potentially get you killed. However I would advise being very careful around the lead as a novice mower I did find it got in my way quite a lot and have yet to perfect the over the shoulder throw!
Talking of the lead, there is plenty of it and at 12M long it is ample to reach through the backdoor and into a socket without any extension leads needed. Hurray no spaghetti junction style leads to contend with!
The lawn mower uses a 1150W motor which is powerful enough for my small lawn.
*My experience*
My first experience was a bit of a letdown as I pushed the lawn mower across the grass and eagerly looked behind myself to see what "grade" I'd given it. Disappointingly it was a number three and I wanted a trimmed number one all over! Alas I then realised there are different settings for the grass height (hence the razor analogy!) Its default height when you buy it is the higher one.
You can have it set for 10mm and 30mm. 10mm is perfect if you don't want to have to do it every weekend. To change the setting you need to flip it over and turn the rotating dome drum over. This is really simple to do and takes seconds.
Obviously after much use the blades will become blunt or damaged, but luckily the mower comes with several spare ones. These are also really reasonably priced and widely available. To change the the blade, you need to push out the broken one easing them backwards out of their mountings and sliding in the new ones. Again, a really simple thing to do.
As the blades are plastic, they could snap easily if they met any object on the lawn that wasn't grass, such as twigs or alike. I always do a scout round before mowing to remove any potential hazards.
The machine is quiet and makes hardly any noise; leaving my boyfriend to slumber to late morning while I get to work in the garden bright and early.
It is a compact mower and because the handle folds in half you can store it away easily.
Obviously after time the blades need replacing as already discussed but to keep your machine healthy you can wipe it over with a cloth and make sure any wet grass cuttings are not stuck to the blades.
This machine is really light and makes hardly any sound, unlike the previous model that sounded like it was about to take off. It seamlessly glides over the garden with ease and takes hardly any manoeuvring. The lead is nice and long so there is plenty to work with and I love it that it stores away so easily. I'm really happy with it and find it really reliable. If you care for the blades, they should last for a long time and shouldn't need replacing very often. I would fully recommend this beast, although I'm unable to get a lawn like Wembley; it does a really good job for the money.
There is a huge selection of lawn mowers available on the market today, each tasked with serving different occupations within the garden. Some require fuel to power their conventional engines directly, and others use an electricity source to power an electric motor. Both types can be extremely powerful and dangerous, but the 'Flymo' series stands out to me as one of the most popular electric-based versions in production today.
I bought my 'Flymo Turbo Lite 330' less than a year ago, and tasked it with the regular trimming of a relatively small area of grass-land beside my house. Flymo specialise in machinery which ranges in size, and this is one of the smallest purpose built contraptions they produce.
Getting started is easy, a long cable of roughly 20 meters is unravelled from a hook on the arm of the device and plugged into a standard house socket - the machine is instantly armed. Next, pull in one of the two (left and right) levers and press the circular rubber button in the centre to engage the motor. Once operational, the mower will appear lighter and more agile than when you first dragged in out of the shed due to the lift generated by the spinning blade. This is best thing about the machine in my opinion.
One disadvantage to this system is the fact that the machine cannot be positioned more than 20 meters from a power source, something usually located indoors, when this is a device for outdoor use! Additionally to that point, why couldn't they include a longer cable, or secondary attachable cable to the original which inreases its length?
The RPM of the blade is good and it chops through tall grass and weeds efficiently. In extra tall grass the mower can become slightly stuck which is irritating, but besides this it glides excellently through flat and steep terrain.
The cable can become difficult to manoeuvre around in some cases and you have to repeatedly keep re-positioning it as you change direction. The surface area of the machine underneath isn't great, but that's because this is a small version of a larger contraption so you can't complain.
Overall this mower performs very well, despite its inherent problems with cable length and a few other things, the general performance is excellent and I'm very happy with my little purchase.
When i moved out of my parents house into my own home i was only 19 and i was on a tight budget for buying household essentials, the house i moved into had a very large garden with a lot of grass and i actually dreaded having to mow the lawn since i had never done it before and i saw it has something "men do". I couldn't picture myself being able to push a lawn mower around this huge garden and actually be happy with the result.
But i pleasantly surprised myself after buying this Flymo Lite lawnmower. I firstly chose Flymo because they had the cheapest lawn mowers and then secondly chose the lite model because i'm only a slim girl and i didn't want something too heavy that would hurt my arms. I found that this lawn mower was exactly what i was looking for and ticked all the right boxes for me.
It has metal blades which cut your grass really well even if it is a bit on the long side. The specifications state that the cutting width is 33cm and the cutting height is 10 - 33 mm which isn't bad at all. The power lead was also quite long so i didn't have the hastle of having to plug in any power extensions. It also folds nicely so it is eas to store.
The box on the lawn mower that collects the grass was easy to remove and empty, this lawn mower made me feel very pleased with myself with how easy it was to use! I'd definetely reccomend it, especially to any first time gardeners or those looking for a lawn mower that is not to heavy to push around.
The cheapest i've seen this lawn mower was £55 but most places charge around £60, but all in all it is a great lawn mower.
I bought this mower for my mother, as a replacement for her ageing old petrol model, which had finally conked out after years of use. With the old mower being rather cumbersome and heavy, I wanted to get something which would be much easier for her to manouevre, and less hassle for me when I come round to cut the grass for her!
This lawnmower set me back 60 pounds, and I have to say it is very decent for the price. The first thing to say is that the mower is rather small, and thus may not be suitable for people with a larger garden. For smaller lawns however, it copes with ease.
The mower cuts quickly and easily, with the Flymo technology making it very light and easy to use, especially within a small space. The attached cord is a decent length, but an extension may be required for larger gardens, so this is something to consider.
All in all, the mower has turned out to be a great replacement for my mothers old machine, being reasonably priced, easier to use and taking up less space in the garage.
I bought this is Asda last year after finally moving to a home with a grassy garden rather than just patio!
I bought it in the sale and paid around £35 (I think).
It's so easy to use and has a long power cord too at 12 meters.
The Flymo is a vivid bright orange colour as the the power cord which makes it easier to see in the grass.
To operate the Flymo you simply plug it into a socket, whether it be the mains or an extension lead, hold in the lever handle and press a button in the middle of the handle, and your away to mow!
It has a sturdy metal blade, that has 4 different cutting heights from 10mm - 30mm. To raise or lower the height you simply undo the nut on the blade with a tool provided and add or remove the plastic spacers also provided. This is a very quick process.
It doesn't matter if you go up and down or side to side this will cut the grass, it is so simple to use and as the blade spins it creates a cushion of air which makes the mower hover!
It has a powerful 1150 watt motor, and is pretty light weight.
Your garden will look fab in no time!
I have noticed that it is available from Amazon priced at £59.47 but shop around and you may find it cheaper.
It's that time of year again, you know, the season where the grass keeps growing on your lawn and you have to go out and cut it every few days, some people even do it every day, come rain or shine.
So for all those who are fortunate to own a lawn, although I do use the word 'fortunate' very loosely, there are many tools on the market that aid in the ease of keeping that lawn in tip top condition, making you the envy of your neighbours.
One of those tools is of course the electric lawn mower, which all good lawn keepers really on, unless you are really posh and have a lawn the size of a small housing estate and you use a ride on mower to keep your lawn trimmed? How I'd love one of them to 'rally' around my garden, although the wife won't let me have one...
Anyway, back on track me thinks, I have owned a few lawn mowers, some braking down after many years of loyal service, others falling flat at the first hurdle, or at the first slight dip in the lawn, so when my last mower began to putt its way into oblivion I decided to get a small, lightweight mower so I could handle my lawns without taking up weight training to do so.
So a trip to a well known DIY store, best known for its high prices in my opinion, I came across a compact looking mower which promised to cut those ever growing blades of grass with ease... so I bought it, more on the fact that I recognised the modal as one I had previously borrowed from a friend/neighbour and found it to be quite a good little mower.
** Firstly, let's get the technical spec out of the way with...
* It has a 330mm (14inch) cutting circumference
* Two plastic cutting blades
* Uses a powerful 1150W motor
* Duo cutting heights, 10mm and 30mm
* Lightweight at just over 9KG
* Collapsible handle for easy storage
* Double on switch with safety feature
* 12 metre mains cable
** Right then, that's that done...now for my Opinion.
This is one easy to use mower and a must for anyone with a small to medium size lawn. It is so lightweight and yet gives a cracking finish, giving you perfectly cut grass every time.
When you open the box it does look a little daunting at first as the mower comes in several parts and needs to be put together, think Meccano and you're half way there. But the destruction manual is one of the simplest manuals I have had the read, well flicked through anyway, so putting the thing together took all of five minutes.
Then, once constructed and ready for use I was pleasantly pleased with my new toy.
It looks nice and neat, even if it's the same colour as Des O'Conners face on a hot day, and as the black tubular handle folds in half it can be stored away in your shed with ease. It has a double lever trigger on the top of the handle with the actual 'on' switch located in the centre so you need both hands to actually start the mower, a rather good safety feature which, to be honest, is on most lawn mowers.
When you turn the mower over you will see the rotating drum which two blades attached to it at opposite ends, with the blades themselves being made of a solid plastic.
Using it is a breeze, it literally floats on a cushion of air as it glides along just over your grass, allowing you to manoeuvre it in any direction without the bad back which some mowers give you. In fact you could probably float this over your lawn all day long without breaking your stride or getting out of breath.
And as it has a good 12 metres of cable it is ample enough for many gardens without the need of extension leads
As for storage, well, this is a compact mower and, as I said, the handle folds in half to allow you too store it in a small (ish) area in your shed.
Unfortunate, as with many things on the market, this has a little downside, namely with the blades being made of plastic they can, and do, break easily, especially if you hit something hard hidden in your grass, such as a hedgehog or one of the kids toys. But before you think that plastic blades aren't going to last long and dismiss this mower on them grounds I must tell you that these blades can take some battering and will last quite some time, in fact I think I've only broken one in the whole time I've been using it.
How do I know when my blade needs changing? I hear you ask...
Well, if a blade snaps the mower will make a sort of squealing noise, akin to a tissue over a comb sound effect. It is an unmistakable noise so you will know.
As for changing the blade, well, this takes a few seconds and is a matter of pushing out the broken one and sliding in the new one, no tools required.
This plastic blade shattering situation may be a bit of an issue but as the mower comes with several spare blades this is not a real problem, plus the blades aren't too expensive anyway.
Then there's the two height setting which are achieved by simply turning the rotating 'drum' over. Simple as that really.
In all, this is a really easy mower to use and can be handle easily by most people due to its lightweight and lovely safety features.
If you are interested in buying this one, just in time to get a few last cuts before the winter kicks in, you can get it from most good stockist for around £50.00... Some places are selling it for less whilst others are selling it for more, so do shop around.
If you have a garden then the chances are it has a lawn. Front or back gardens, small, medium or large gardens, all require that lawn to be cut once the growing season starts. As soon as the weather warms up a little, lawns all over the uk start shooting up at an alarming rate. One minute the lawn is still enjoying its winter sleep, the next its sprung up like a bunch of mini triffids that need restraining and you face a mini lawn war of the worlds.
We have had 2 mowers and a strimmer, which we use to trim our lawns, for as long as I can remember. I expect that many people have a choice of 2 mowers which can cope with different lengths of grass and offer you the ability to adapt your lawn cutting requirements. One of the mowers we have is the Flymo Turbo Lite 330, which is very handy for trimming an already short swathe of lawn.
The Flymo Turbo Lite 330 is a good little mower that is nice and light to use and small enough to store away so that it doesn't take up too much room in the shed. We chose the Flymo Turbo Lite 330 because as we already had a much heavier mower for cutting longer grass, we only needed a light model to nip over the lawn quickly with during the summer.
I feel thats what this Flymo hover mower is best at. It can't cope well with very long grass, but swiftly deals with the short almost sandy coloured stubble that we all end up with, instead of our usual lush green lawns during hot and parched summer weather.
As the Flymo Turbo Lite doesn't have a cutting collector compartment it does leave a fine trail of grass cuttings behind it. I know that some gardeners recommend leaving that fine hatch of cuttings on the lawn in summer during hotter weather, although you should rake the cuttings up during cooler wetter periods. I tend to see some sense in this, as the Flymo has so little to cut off during hot weather that the remaining cuttings are minimal and I don't really notice them on the lawn.
The Flymo Lite has 4 cutting heights from 10cms to 30cms. I must admit that we have never fiddle with the settings and have been happy with leaving it on the shortest cut. I think thats mainly due to the fact that if the grass needed to be a little longer or was longer to start with, we would automatically get out the other mower, which can cut through longer grass in no time and also has a cutting collector built in.
For a smaller garden you won't need an extension cable as the one that comes with the mower is 12 m long. Its easy enough to buy an extension cable if you need a longer length of cable to cope with a bigger lawn, but I would say that a heavier duty mower may be more appropriate for a larger garden in the first place.
The mower is a so called hover mower, which means that in theory it floats majestically on a small cushion of air and glides easily over your lawn. I can say that is the case if you have a nice flat lawn with no bumps or humps and are just trimming off a very short top layer of grass. For bumpy uneven lawns and longer grass the mower can be hard work.
If you want to use the mower its very easy to set up and put away. You can use the plastic adjusters at the sides of the metal handle to loosen the handle and fold or unfold that, as it can make the mower easier to store with the handle folded down. But its just easy to store the mower ready to go if you are lucky enough to have a bigger shed to store the mower in.
It goes without saying that the trade mark vivid orange shade of the Flymo Turbo Lite 330 is eye catching. Its almost as iconic as the advertising slogan used to promote the product. I bet we all remember that 'Its a lot less bovver with a hover' slogan and in my opinion when used in the right situation the phrase is spot on.
A few of the main features of the mower are listed here
