When you say 'quite a bit of grass is left', is it noticeable? I alredy
have a small flymo (with poxy plastic blades that keep breaking), so if
this leaves grass on the lawn too there is little point me upgrading

All the Hover-collect mowers leave a 'snail trail' down one side of the
mower. A rotary (wheeled) mower will collect much more of the cuttings


point of order:

hover mowers are rotary mowers, the rotary blades spin on a shaft mounted
on a vertical axis to create the downdraught for the hover effect.

mowers with wheels and a roller tend to be cylinder mowers, with the cylinder
mounted on a horizontal axis

Not so I'm afraid.


FACT

airflow is a secondary issue after cylinder/rotary
