Flymo Compact 350 mower
Both I and my sister bought a Flymo 350 compact mower and both have failed after a relatively short period. On both machines smoke appeared from the motors and soon afterwards the motor burned out. We didn't buy them at the same time.
I'm not impressed and I was wondering if other users of this model had suffered the same. I have a basic Flymo, without grassbox, that I've had for years and it goes on and on, but this Compact 350 model has been very poor.
As a result,I will not be buying another Flymo machine.

When you say 'relatively short period' how long?
Are you planning to complain to the retailer or manufacturer?Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson

Two seasons worth for both machines. Not huge lawns. I'm not planning to complain to the retailer. I just wont consider Flymo again.0

Mine has survived two full seasons. I'm hoping you haven't just jinxed it ... !0
