Product Information

Flymo – perhaps one of the most well known names in the lawn mower world, Flymo offers a small selection of robotic mowers as well as a range of other gardening tools.

LawnSense is a smart way of cutting your grass, to allow it the time to grow and mature, and still keeps it looking neat. The program reduces what it thinks to be excessive cutting periods, to allow your lawn the best amount of growing time. FrostSenseIf you’re new to the idea of using a robot mower then I understand that you’ll likely have a lot of questions. This guide is designed to introduce you to the robotic lawn mower and give you some tips on finding the right product for you. What Is A Robotic Lawn Mower And How Does It Work? There are some good safety precautions that Flymo has taken to keep everyone safe. And safety is going to be the biggest concern for people with children or pets. Even with all the safety features, it would still be advisable to keep all body parts away from the mower while it is working. What you spend on a robot lawn mower will largely depend on what features you would like. It goes without saying that those with more features and that are larger and more powerful will come with a higher price tag. At the extreme end of the scale, you might pay up to a couple of thousand pounds. We found it difficult to determine the details of the scheduling programs available on many of the mowers in our review. Easier to find were software features such as those that kept the mower at home if it rained (you could override this) or if there was frost or even if rain was the only forecast. The more expensive mowers – generally for larger lawns – had more of these features.

As long as you take good care of your robotic lawn mower, particularly over the winter months, it should serve you for a very long time. The very best mowers could last between ten and twenty years, although you will probably have to replace parts more frequently than this. The most commonly replaced parts are the batteries which could last between three and six years, and the blades which normally need to be swapped at least once every mowing season. Can Robotic Mowers Make Stripes? The safety of your lawn is also a consideration as there’s a rain sensor that you can set to return the mower to its station if the rain starts. You don’t need to worry about leaving the mower out in the rain though as it’s fully waterproof. Thanks for your comment. Yes I would go for the EasiLife 500 as they are identical apart from the amount of time they are programmed to mow. This always gives you the option for a larger lawn in future should you ever move home. You can always adjust the cutting schedule anyway if needed. The Flymo EasiLife 200 is a robotic mower built in the UK and designed for lawns up to 200m². It has a cutting width of 16cm, height adjustment from 20mm to 50mm, has 3 good quality pivoting razor blades for a precise and clean cut. The Flymo EasiLife 200 has an onboard keypad and LCD display and can also be controlled via the a smartphone app. This robotic mower comes supplied with a charging station, 100m of boundary wire and 150 pegs. There are loads of things to consider so the whole process might feel a little overwhelming. That’s why I thought it would be good to give you some help.

Summary

Derek Smith has been farming all of his life, and is an professional landscape gardener with over 22 years experience. He owns a 25-acre farm in Aberdeenshire with a focus on self-sufficiency, living off the land, and working with nature. Ultra-Quiet - The mower runs quietly, outputting around 58dB(A) of noise. The noise is sufficiently low to not disturb you or your neighbours. Tilt sensors detect if the mower is close to tipping over, or has rolled over, and cuts power to the motor. And also, if a thief or a child attempts to lift the mower, the motor will turn off. PIN & Alarm System It’s also a good idea to look for a robot mower whose battery can be replaced. This allows you to swap batteries as their performance drops over the years, which is inevitable. Generally speaking, a lithium-ion battery will last less time than the mower itself so having the option to put a new battery in means you’ll get the most out of your machine. Incline Dual zones and no-go areas can be set up around your property, but you need to use the same loop of wire to make the perimeter. There are also sensors to adjust for changes in the weather, collision sensors that instruct the machine to turn around, and tilt sensors.

The Bosch 06008B0100 Robotic Lawnmower Indego S+ 350 is definitely at the leading edge of robot lawn mowers Not only does it communicate with your smart device, (including with voice control) but it has features as standard that other mowers don’t even have as options yet. Flymo have include a feature they call Spot Cut, where the user can lift the mower to an area that needs more attention and then choose this mode. Spot cutting directs the mower to move in a spiral pattern out from the overgrown spot before it reverts to normal mode. Override The mover uses an 18V 2.0 Ah battery that will give it around 60 minutes run-time on the lawn. The manufacture claims that the EasiLife 350 will consume 4 kWh of power over a month if used to its limit. Another clever idea is Spot Cut, where the user can lift the mower to an area that needs more attention and then choose this mode. Spot cutting directs the mower to move in a spiral pattern out from the overgrown spot before it reverts to normal mode. OverrideYou do however need additional staples and boundary wire for larger gardens that this mower is designed for. Just remember you are not getting any enhanced features or more powerful batteries, the mower is identical. All the controls are hidden under panels on the top of the mower. And you do have to use these to program the unit as it doesn’t come with any form of wi-fi or Bluetooth app for your smart device. The keypad and screen are at one end of the mower and the single dial to adjust the cutting height is at the other end. You have a choice of seven cutting heights from 25mm to 55mm. This is more heights and a wider range from most other robot mowers, so you can be especially particular about how your lawn looks.

The Hyundai (HYRM1000) Lawnmower is a sleek-looking robot lawnmower that handles small to medium-sized lawns of up to 625m 2. All the controls, except for the huge red emergency STOP button, are hidden under flaps on the top of the mower’s bright blue body. The 22.2V Lithium-ion battery that drives this mower comes with it. The brushless motor needs little maintenance and uses the battery power efficiently.

FrostSense is another automated feature that detects and pauses the mowing schedule when the temperature is too cold. This activates when the ambient temperature goes below 5o C, and mowing would damage the grass. Spot Cut While still relatively new to the UK market, robot mowers are growing in popularity. With more innovative features constantly being added, I don’t think it will be long before these handy devices are a staple in every home, even if they run alongside a more traditional method of mowing.
