The Flymo 36V EasiStore 380R KIT 2.0 is a cordless lawn mower aimed at homeowners who want the freedom of battery power without sacrificing a neat, striped finish. With a 38 cm cutting width, rear roller and 45-litre grass box, it’s clearly designed for small to medium UK lawns.
Flymo is a familiar name in British gardens, and this model leans on that heritage with practical touches such as single-lever height adjustment, an LED battery status display and vertical storage to save space in a shed or garage.
With an owner rating of 4.5 out of 5 from more than 90 reviews, it’s a well-liked mower, though its modest 22-minute run time and lack of mulching mean it’s better suited to tidy, regular cuts than tackling wild, overgrown grass.
The Flymo 36V EasiStore 380R is best suited to small and medium-sized gardens, up to around 180 m², where you can comfortably finish the lawn within a 22‑minute run time. If you usually take under half an hour to mow, this will fit neatly into your routine.
It’s a strong option for anyone fed up with trailing cables. The 36V lithium-ion battery and cordless design mean you can weave around trees, borders and garden furniture without worrying about sockets or extension leads.
If you like a smart, striped finish on your lawn, the built-in rear roller is a key draw. Paired with the close-to-edge cutting design, it’s well suited to front lawns where kerb appeal matters.
Budget-wise, it sits in the mid-range for cordless mowers: not bargain-basement, but you’re paying for convenience features, a decent 45-litre collector and Flymo’s brand backing, including a 2-year warranty (with registration). First-time cordless buyers and upgrading corded owners will find it particularly appealing.
Cordless 36V power frees you from cables, making it far easier and safer to manoeuvre around flowerbeds, trees and garden furniture.
The 38 cm metal blade and 45-litre grass collection box are well judged for typical UK gardens, letting you cover a good area without constantly stopping to empty.
A built-in rear roller helps create those classic striped lawn lines, giving a more professional finish than many basic rotary mowers.
Single-lever height adjustment (25–65 mm) makes it quick to switch between a closer cut and a slightly higher, healthier lawn without fiddling with each wheel.
Battery and grass box indicators, plus an LED display, remove the guesswork – you can see when you’re running low on charge or when it’s time to empty the collector.
The foldable, ergonomic handle and vertical storage design make it easy to tuck away in a crowded shed or small garage, while the carrying handle helps with lifting and moving the mower.
The maximum run time of around 22 minutes will be limiting for larger or more complex gardens; you may need to rush or recharge to finish in one go.
There’s no mulching function, so you can’t finely chop clippings back into the lawn – you’re committed to collecting and disposing of the grass.
At 89 dB, it’s not especially quiet for a cordless mower, so it may still feel intrusive in very close-knit neighbourhoods.
Assembly is required out of the box, and while not unusual, it’s worth noting if you’re hoping for a truly plug‑and‑play experience.
Battery capacity is quoted simply as “2 mAh”, which is likely a misprint in the spec; in practice the real limitation is the modest runtime for the price.
Day to day, the Flymo 36V EasiStore 380R is designed to make mowing as straightforward as possible. The cordless design removes the usual cable management dance, so you can concentrate on where you’re cutting rather than where the lead has gone.
The push mower layout, with a brushless DC motor and metal blade, gives a familiar feel. The ergonomic, height-adjustable handle helps you find a comfortable position, and the safety switch-off and on/off switch are simple and reassuring to use.
The single lever for height adjustment is particularly handy in changeable British weather. If the lawn has grown a bit longer than usual, you can bump the cutting height up in seconds, then drop it back down for a tighter cut next time.
Emptying the 45-litre grass catcher is helped by both the grass bin full indicator and the “easy to empty” design, so you’re less likely to overfill and clog it. When you’re finished, the foldable handle and vertical storage option mean the mower takes up a surprisingly small footprint, ideal if you’re short on storage space.
Noise is on the higher side for a cordless model, but still generally less harsh than many petrol mowers, and there are no fumes or pull-start struggles to worry about.
With a 36V lithium-ion battery and brushless DC motor, the EasiStore 380R delivers a solid, efficient cut for its size. The 38 cm cutting width is a good balance between covering ground quickly and staying nimble enough for narrow lawns and tighter spaces.
Performance-wise, it’s optimised for regular maintenance cuts rather than hacking through long, wet grass. The specified maximum lawn area of 180 m² and 22-minute run time underline that it’s aimed at typical suburban plots rather than sprawling lawns.
The cutting height range of 25–65 mm across five positions gives sensible flexibility. You can go low for a bowling-green look in summer or keep things higher to protect the grass in hotter or drier spells. The single-lever adjustment makes changing settings undoable mid-mow without fuss.
The rear roller is one of the standout features. Many cordless mowers at this level skip it, but here it helps you create neat stripes and also stabilises the mower near the lawn edge, working with the close-to-wall cutting design to reduce the amount of strimming you need.
Convenience features are strong for the price bracket: a clear LED display and indicator lights for battery and grass box, removable battery with charging dock, and an “Easy Store” design with foldable, ergonomic handles and vertical storage. Safety is covered with a dedicated safety switch-off, and the carrying handle adds to the overall practicality when moving the mower around your property.
At a mid-range price point for cordless mowers, the Flymo 36V EasiStore 380R offers a well-rounded feature set that will feel like good value for many households. You’re paying for the convenience of cordless operation, the rear roller, the larger 45-litre collector and the space-saving storage design, rather than raw power or extended runtime.
The 4.5 out of 5 user rating from over 90 reviews suggests most owners feel they’ve got their money’s worth, especially when switching from older corded mowers. The inclusion of the battery, charging dock and a 2-year warranty (with registration) also helps justify the cost.
Where the value feels a little stretched is the limited 22-minute runtime and absence of a mulching option, which some rivals now include. If your lawn is comfortably within the recommended size and you prioritise easier storage and a striped finish, it still stacks up as a sensible mid-range buy.
If, however, you have a larger garden or want to mow less frequently and tackle longer grass in one go, you may want to consider models with a larger battery pack or a spare battery included, even if that means paying more.
The Flymo 36V EasiStore 380R KIT 2.0 is a well thought-out cordless mower for small to medium gardens. It combines a capable 38 cm cut, neat stripes from the rear roller and an easy-to-live-with design that stores vertically and keeps indicators clear and simple.
Its strengths lie in everyday convenience: cordless freedom, straightforward controls, single-lever height adjustment and a sensibly sized 45-litre grass box. Owner feedback backs this up, with a strong 4.5/5 rating pointing to a reliable, user-friendly machine.
The main compromises are its modest 22-minute run time and the lack of a mulching function, which limit its appeal for larger or more demanding lawns. If your garden fits within the recommended size and you value ease of use and a tidy finish over brute force, it’s a very solid choice. For bigger plots or tougher workloads, stepping up to a mower with longer battery life or a second battery will be the better long-term investment.
