Because for the first time there was a mower that did not come into contact with the turf.

Instead it floated across the lawn on a cushion of air. This made it extremely easy to use. Gardeners soon began to mow their lawns by pushing and pulling the mower back and forth in a sweeping motion.

Others moved the mower from side to side as they moved across the lawn and this was also a completely new way of mowing the lawn although the motion does in some ways resemble the action of using a scythe. First, they were mains powered which meant that they could only be used as far from a socket as the lead or cord would reach. As one of the first electrical appliances for use in the garden this presented a bit of a problem if the nearest wall socket was inside the house!

Today people are more used to electrical gardening tools and have special outdoor sockets. In any case the early electric Flymo was aimed at the user with the small garden. And Flymo has always produced petrol powered machines for those who prefer or need them. Second, the mower was not much good at cutting long grass so gardeners still needed to get the lawn down to a workable length at the beginning of the year. This is still a bit of a drawback although modern machines can now cope with slightly longer grass.

Third, the original Flymo could not pick up the clippings. This was not a major problem if the lawn was mowed frequently and the grass was short because the cuttings simply fell back onto the lawn's surface where they were absorbed by decomposition. Later, Flymo perfected a mechanism for collecting the clippings and many of the company's modern machines have these as standard.
