 Excellent May 8, 2008

Have just bought this mower although not from Amazon. We did use Amazon reviews to guide us. This mower is the best we have ever had. It is light,easy to steer, easy to empty and fairly quiet.
(We have been struggling for some time with a hover that didn't seem to hover and was very heavy.)
 What a great mower March 13, 2008

After owning a number of Flymo mowers over the years when my current flymo was coming to the end of its life I went to my local diy store to get a replacement. One of the staff said to me that they had been experiencing some problems with these mowers. So I check out the reviews on Amazon and read the glowing praise for the Qualcast. Based on these reviews I ordered one which was delivered today without any delay. I tried it out and found everything the reviews had said was correct. What a great mower, light, easy to use, collects grass brilliantly. I am delieghted. Thanks to the reviewers and to Amazon.

I've had this mower for a year now and can say this is a no nonsense mower that does the job and does it well. Excellent build quality, simple but efficient design and very lightweight. Ideal for small to medium sized lawns.
Pros:
- Very simple to put together
Took 5 minutes or less to assemble. Can't remember thinking twice about putting it together now when we got it.
- Very lightweight
Easy to carry around to and from the garage to the lawns. Carries easily with just one hand.
- Easily adjustable height
Easy to adjust height of blade, has a notch system to adjust to 3 different height settings. Only really use one to be fair :)
- Simple but efficient design
Probably the most important feature about this mower is the lack of features! There's not a lot to go wrong with this mower because the design is so simple which is a good thing if you're not using the mower every single day and don't need x number of bells and whistles. At the same time the design is excellent, it just does the job and does it very well.
- Easily replaceable blade
There's just one rotary blade underneath that can be replaced easily if it gets blunted or whatever.
- Easy to remove grass collection box
The box fits onto the mower by lifting a spring-loaded flap at the back and hooking the box onto the mower and the flap acts to hold the box down on the hooks to stop it bouncing off. Very sturdy.
Cons:
- Not suitable for large lawns
The footprint on this mower is quite small - maybe 2ft or less(?). As a result I wouldn't want to use this mower on a lawn over 50sq metres.
- Lack of features
As I said above the lack of features on this mower makes it great in my opinion, however for some this could be a down side. If you do want xyz features then this isn't the mower for you, it's a very simple but effective design but won't make the coffee for you :)
- Slightly 'cheap' look to it
Thought twice about mentioning this - by 'cheap' I mean the main body is made of plastic which kind of gives it a cheap look to it. However having said this the build quality itself isn't 'cheap', design seems very well thought out as mentioned above. If you want to keep your mower on display to show your mowing prowess or have the need to 'keep up with the jones', maybe go for something else :)
In summary - if you don't want a lot of features and just want a mower that does the job well, this is for you.

Cuts beautifully, simple, manoeuvrable can carry this through one hand.
Had a 100+ worth flymo before this, which was very awkward to carry through the house and was awkward when the grass box began to fill up. I'm finding this cuts better and remains effortless when the grass box is completely full.
This is worth at least twice as much as the ticket price.

Purchased this mower after reading all the fantastic reviews, after my Flymo 380's motor packed in after only three years. Unpacked Easi Trak this afternoon, assembled it which was simple enough. Was hoping to complete the last mow of the season started when the Flymo packed up a couple of weeks ago. Well after pushing a couple of seconds a wheel fell off, put it back and a few more seconds later two wheels fell off. Have completed half of the lawn and have given up after putting the wheels back every few seconds. The wheels do not have any clip to secure to the mower. I haven't read of this problem happening with any other reviewers. Plan to return it and buy an alternative model. Am very disappointed.
