Flymo Contour XT Review

The Flymo Contour XT Electric Grass Trimmer is a lightweight, easy to use and highly effective grass trimmer which is suitable for small to medium sized lawns. It offers two modes, namely trimming and edging. Trimming cuts through long and tough grass/weeds thanks to its powerful 300W motor. Edging mode is easily activated and includes the use of a plant guard that protects plants and flowers from damage.

The trimmer has a 25cm cutting width which lets you cover areas much quicker than smaller trimmers would. Using the trimmer is straightforward in the sense that it's easy to control/manoeuvre. It can be changed over to edging mode quickly. We also like how easy the line is to install. The trimmer conveniently feeds in the dual lines automatically.
