Customers Say
Powerful, good quality Flymo strimmer praised for effectiveness and durability. Some users find it heavy and difficult to handle; occasional motor overheating and spool jamming reported. Instructions could be clearer.

Saga of over heating trimmers
Returned one because it was cutting out of motor after 15 secs. Tried a second one after returning the first one.,this was even worse, it not only overheated it was actually smoking. That was in was the last straw. I returned the second trimmer and I got the same good service off the staff, she said she could still smell the over heating. Two trimmers in three days. I know Argos does not deal in seconds but is it just bad luck on my part C

Very versatile, does a brilliant job
I bought this 3 weeks ago and after assembling it, I couldn’t adjust the height lever, so I contacted the company who got back to me ASAP, with a solution, which remedied the problem and away it went. Easy to use - very pleased.

Flymo 500E
It's the best strimmer I've ever had a good sturdy and excellent quality machine.i love it.

Tricky for a novice user to get started
Plus: assembly instructions are included. Minus: the font is so tiny, and the instructions are so badly laid out, that it takes about 5x longer to set up initially than it should. It's not possible to see the images at the same time as reading the text that applies to them. Nor is there any outline of technique for successful use. It shouldn't be beyond the wit of Flymo to provide a QR code linking to their website with a decent set of instructions and / or videos, or if nothing else to rethink the layout of the manual. I bought this for my 80-something father off the back of reasonably glowing and consistent reviews across various media outlets, but had to set it up for him because it was just too awkward for older hands. I regularly use professional strimmers, without issue, so it's not like I don't know which way is up. Side note: there's a hook for controlling the power cable, but it's not finished smoothly enough, so the cable's already slightly abraded after one use. There's a really good bit of kit in here, but it's struggling to get out. As the only model in this approximate price range with this functionality, it's an easy decision to buy, but a trickier machine to learn.

Highly recommended!
Having bought a cheaper Trimmer that fell apart very quickly, we decided to go back to a Flymo, and are extremely pleased with this model. It works well and does a really good job. Would highly recommend it.

Hello jan,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Flymo Contour 500E 25cm Corded Grass Trimmer - 500W: ''Yes, the replacement line for this model.
The replacement spool and line for this product is FLY021, we do not offer just a replacement trimmer line within our range without the spool. We do not suggest using alternate trimmer lines with our product as we cannot guarantee that they will work as they will not have been tested.''
Thank you for using Q and A.
Hi ALF,
The Flymo Contour 500E is a corded electric grass trimmer with a 500W motor is not a strimmer. It offers three operating modes: trimming, edging, and shrubbing. It's a versatile tool for maintaining your garden edges and shrubs.
