The Flymo Quicksilver 5160HW is almost identical to the 5145HW, apart from a more powerful 6hp Briggs & Stratton engine, delivering even more power and performance to the cutting blades.
Weighing in at 43kg would usually make the Quicksilver 5160HW difficult to push around, but the engineers at Flymo have fitted a rear drive self-propelled system, making mowing the lawn less of a physical strain.
The 6hp Briggs & Stratton engine provides sufficient power for both driving and cutting. Capable of reaching 4400 watts of power at the maximum RPM, the Flymo Quicksilver 5160HW comfortably deals with most types of vegetation. The 1.5 litre fuel tank ensures the lawnmower will keep running for a single session, without needing to be refuelled.
Practicality has been considered throughout the design of the Flymo Quicksilver 5160HW. Double ball bearing wheels give a smooth ride, fold away handles make storage easier, and in addition, a universal hose connector is fitted to the Quicksilver 5160HW, making washing the body and cutting blades a simple, hassle free operation.
Cutting heights are selectable, between 2.5cm and 7cm, giving you the flexibility to achieve your desired grass length with 5 easy to choose settings.
The Flymo Quicksilver 5160HW also has the added benefit of throttle control, giving the operator more control over the lawnmower performance.

Homebase said that the flymo 5145 is more powerful than the 5160 this is not true because the 5145 has 4.5hp and the 5160 has 6hp the price is also more expensive the 5160 is £249.98 and the 5145 is £269 for a smaller and less powerful version.
