 Get a hover mower? May 8, 2006

Maybe my experience with this will improve as I get used to it.
But it started off badly because the assembly instructions, printed on a scrap of paper, are pathetic. And wrong. There are screws supplied to atttach the cable tidy, but no way of screwing them into the two halves of the bit of plastic. I was in a seriously bad mood by the time I'd got it working. Everything feels crudely made. I just hope it's because it's tough.
The cable. 15m sounds a lot, but they may as well give you a metre because most people are still going to need an extension.
There's an 'easy height adjuster' on the side of the mower. Except that it isn't, because once again, it's very crude and stiff.
The motor's nice and quiet, I'll give it that, and I guess it cuts well enough.
I didn't manage to get any stripes on my lawn and I suspect that you can't have your cake and eat it: it's a very lightweight mower. That roller probably doesn't press hard enough because of that.
Oh and when you detach the grass box, half the grass falls out.
I wish I'd bought a hover mower.
 Very poor mower. March 25, 2007

I bought this mower two years ago and it died after about 14 months use on a small-medium size garden. The power rating is quite low and therefore it often struggles if the grass is the slightest bit damp. Also the cylinder is driven by a belt from the motor. Part of this mechanism actually sheered off completely and it was at this point that I put it in the skip. The idea of getting a nice 'stripe' effect on the garden doesn't work either. I'd strongly recommend getting a more powerful mower as even on a small-medium size garden this one struggles and then dies.

I've had Qualcast mowers before, but am horrified at the quality and reliability of this model. It is terrible. I bought it in December 2006 and, being winter, never used it until spring. It is cheaply made, low grade plastic, most of the main components like the hadle hinges and the height adjuster are plastic. When I started to use it I thought, this will never last. I was right. Now, in July 2007 after 3 months use it's useless. It will not cut, and you cannot align the blades to cut properly. Too close to the basplate and it makes a terrible noise, open the gap and it does not cut. Worse thing though is that I find that Amazon will not take it back, even though it has a 12 month guarantee, and 5 years on parts. I'd like to see one of these pieces of junk lasting 2 years, let alone 5.
Don't buy it ! May 4, 2008

The only good thing if found is that it is easy to use but don't expect good performance: the grass box needs emptying constantly or else the cut grass spewed back out of the grass box. The rollers tend to flatten the grass and the cut is very uneven.
I bought it less than 18 months ago - used it only a few time and ... it is broken already: the motor ceased turning the blades !

This mower does not cut grass it flattens it. the motor is not man enought for the job either. the cross bar that actuates with the cylinder blades to cut the grass is too thick and just jams on the mud. save your self the 100 which is high too. Qualcast make great rotaries, have just bought a qualcast rotary excellent and 40% cheaper. Previously had a turbo vac which was excellent also.
