What else should you consider? Overall when comparing hover mowers vs. wheeled lawnmowers there is no clear winner. The perfect lawnmower is largely down to personal preference and the type of garden you own. Before buying your next lawnmower you should consider the size and shape of your lawn as these will determine the type of lawnmower you should purchase.
KG
The Weight The weight may be a key consideration when buying your next lawnmower. Weighing as little as 5.1kg, our hover mowers are some of the lightest on the market and are still packed with power, making cutting easy.

How to add stripes to your lawn
Buying for the first time?
Construction Something to consider if you like to be ready to go straight from the box. One key advantage hover mowers have over rotary lawnmowers is that generally when you first buy one, they are ready to use out of the box, or require minimal assembly in comparison to a wheeled lawnmower. Rotary lawnmowers will typically require a little more work to build before you can use it.
stripes? slopes? shapes?
Do you want stripes?
Does your garden have slopes?
Is your lawn an irregular shape? You may find that a hover mower is a better choice because it ‘floats’ on a cushion of air. This enables them to be moved in all directions including side to side. The difficulty when using a rotary lawnmower on an irregular shaped lawn is that you will need to make a number of short movements to cut the grass in the hard to reach areas.
If so, you should buy a wheeled rotary lawnmower preferably with a rear roller like those found in the EasiStore range. A rear roller adds stripes to the lawn by flattening the grass as you cut. Hover mowers by their very nature cannot have a roller as the weight of the roller would prevent the lawnmower from hovering on the cushion of air that they generate and require to cut the grass.
If it does, a hover mower may be the better option. They are often easier to push / pull up and down the slopes as they are lighter when walking forwards because of the cushion of air they rest on when cutting.
Flymo Fact
If you want a striped lawn you will need to leave the grass slightly longer so that you can bend and flatten the grass to create the darker stripe.
