Flymo Hedge Trimmers Resale Value

A used Flymo hedge trimmer is typically worth £16 to £88 (approximately $21 to $117), against £20 to £110 for hedge trimmers generally. Flymo is best known for the hover mower, a design that suits small and awkward lawns and nothing else. Being clear about which type you have — hover or wheeled — is most of what makes the listing work.

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across Flymo

Hover mowers in working order, which are light, cheap to run and genuinely suit small or sloping lawns
Machines with a sharp, undamaged blade and the collection box present
Mowers listed in spring, when the searches actually happen, rather than in autumn
Complete machines with the original cable undamaged along its whole length

What pulls Flymo resale value down

Damaged or badly nicked blades, which must be replaced rather than sold as working
Cut, taped or repaired power cables, which are an electrical safety problem and should be replaced before sale
Cracked hover skirts and housings, which affect how the machine floats and are model-specific to replace
Missing grass boxes, which are awkward to source and which buyers assume they can replace easily

Identifying and dating yours

Say whether the mower is a hover or a wheeled model, since they suit completely different lawns
Photograph the blade and the underside of the deck after cleaning, which is what a careful buyer wants to see
Photograph the cable along its full length and the plug, and say plainly whether it has ever been repaired

What lifts any hedge trimmer, whatever the label

Trimmers are judged on blade condition and, for cordless models, on the battery platform rather than the tool.

Sharp, undamaged blades running smoothly
Cordless models on current battery platforms
Recognised brands with spares available
Blade covers and guards included

And what pulls one down

Chipped or bent blades
Degraded batteries on cordless models
Seized gearboxes from lack of lubrication
Missing blade covers, a safety concern

Working out what yours is worth

Run it briefly and listen to the gearbox
Inspect the blades along their length for chips
Confirm the blade cover is present

What to state in the listing

Blade length and cutting capacity
Power type — corded, cordless or petrol — with voltage or wattage
For cordless, battery count and honest run time
Blade condition, and whether the guard and any blade cover are present

Type, blade length and power: “Bosch 60cm Cordless Hedge Trimmer, 18V, 2 Batteries”. Blade length is the search. On cordless, say the battery platform and how many are included, which is most of the value.

Preparing and photographing it

Inspect the full length of the blade for bent, chipped or missing teeth, and check the blades slide freely.
Run it briefly and listen for the gearbox, then clean and lightly oil the blades.
For cordless, charge the battery and time a realistic run; for petrol, start it from cold; for corded, check the whole flex.

The trimmer whole, from the side, clean
The full blade length laid straight, teeth visible
The handle, guard and trigger safety
The battery and charger or the cable, plus any bent tooth or crack

When it sells best, and handing it over

Strongly seasonal, March to August with a peak in early summer. Listed in winter it will sit, so hold until spring.

Fit the blade cover before transport or posting — an unguarded blade is dangerous to whoever handles the parcel. Petrol models must be drained of fuel first.

What buyers ask

Is a hover mower right for every lawn?

No. They suit small, awkward or sloping lawns and struggle on large flat ones. Say which type yours is so the buyer chooses correctly.

Can I sell a mower with a taped cable?

Not as working. Replace the cable or list the machine as spares and repairs — a damaged cable on a garden tool is a real hazard.

How much is a Flymo hedge trimmer worth?

Roughly £16 to £88 depending on condition, against £20 to £110 for hedge trimmers generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
