20 x Flymo Minimo Lawnmower Replacement Blades SPFL246LL

Compared to the genuine Flymo blades these initially look like a good deal. However, these are made from the wrong type of plastic and are very, very brittle. As soon as you come across a small stone or other obstruction and the blades hit, they just shatter where the blade joins the swivel part. Both blades seem to go together and for a relatively small lawn it's taking up to half a dozen blades at a time. Unless you have a smooth tennis court lawn you should avoid these poor copies!!!

Finally used them. In one session in a small garden I broke six. I checked the ground after each break and could not find any reason such as a stone etc. I can only assume that that the odd dandelion with "attitude" was too much for them.Each had snapped at the same place where the blade meets the retainer. The ones I have have are a much more brittle plastic than the OEM blades. They had been stored in a dark cupboard so UV exposure could not be the reason.I'll buy the OEM Flymo blades in future as these ones are just false economy.

Slightly less robust than originals but only really noticeable when cutting near my border which is filled with slate.In fairness the Flymo blades I had didn't snap when I strayed onto the slate but the blades soon became dull anyway so still ended up replacing them quite frequently.Anyway - I easily remedied this problem by being more careful i.e. not straying onto my border so much and letting the strimmer do the rest.Courtesy of the water board digging up our path and dumping it all on our lawn our front lawn is quite stoney at present and we also have stepping stones out the back but the blades coped with these challenges with no problem.

Cheap and (not) cheerful.. Brittle and Break. Having managed with the original few that cam with the mower for quite a number of years, I was really surprised to break around 10 in a day! They are so brittle that when they strike something more tough than a fresh clover leaf, they snap. I would expect them to either cut it, or swing back around in the bracket that holds them, but definitely not to snap. So in reality a poor product that is not fit for purpose.

These blades cut the lawn well but are not as durable as the original blades, On my first use I had 4 blades snap due to hitting small stones when cutting close to the edge of my lawn. For the cost they are a good replacement if you lawn is stone free, I now check around the edges first for any stones etc. before cutting.

These break easy you have to be careful

Ideal blades and reasonably cheap as they do have a habit of breaking if hitting anything solid.

These are brilliant - such a cheap price for so many blades, and I have found them to be only slightly less robust than the original blades supplied with the mower.
