Product Information

This essentially means that it doesn’t collect the clippings as this simply wouldn’t be feasible with such a compact machine. As you can see from the information above, there are a lot of options when it comes to robot mowers with each manufacturer competing to bring you the best product. In my Stiga A 3000 Autonomous Robot Mower Experience Series Autonomous robot mower review, I’m going to cover the ins and outs of each of these products and help you to decide whether this is the right range for your garden. When you install a boundary wire, there is a risk of it being damaged by things like ground movement, animals and other things.

This isn’t as sophisticated as the apps you might find on more expensive mowers but it still means you can start and stop the mower, and send it back to its charging station, without getting up from your chair. Turn off the robot mower at the switch underneath and place it upside down on a clean, soft surface. It shaves the top of each blade of grass as it passes, and its tiny clippings are simply dropped into the lawn to mulch down. Although the Yard Force EasyMow 260B is relatively small and doesn’t have the largest cutting disc I’ve seen, it did a good job of tackling my lawn. In my Stiga A 1500 Autonomous Robot Mower Experience Series Autonomous robot mower review, I’m going to cover the ins and outs of each of these products and help you to decide whether this is the right range for your garden.The VBRM16 OcuMow™ combines a camera and sensors with Optical Grass Recognition (OGR) software to identify grass and navigate around your lawn without the need for a boundary wire, outdoor power socket or app. If it was a flower bed I’d be thankful for it but it’s worth noting that the patchier your lawn, the harder it will be for the Lawnmaster VBRM16 to navigate it successfully. Simply charge the detachable lithium-ion battery in the 1 hour fast charger provided and put the mower on the lawn once or twice a week during the day time in dry weather. While these are great, it has surprised me how much the LawnMaster VBRM16 can do without having to break the bank. There simply isn’t enough room on these compact machines for a rear roller and even if there was, they’re not heavy enough to apply the right amount of pressure.

This is revolutionary, with no boundary wire to lay, no charging station to pin to the lawn and no need to have an outdoor power supply to plug it in. There’s a button on the control panel which you can press after popping the mower down in whichever area needs touching up. If you don’t have time to read my in-depth robotic lawn mower reviews, I have listed my top selections below for your convenience. For best performance and to encourage healthy lawn growth use 60mm for longer grass and after regular mowing, gradually reduce the cutting height to your desired length. These modern machines provide you with a way to stay on top of lawn maintenance without actually having to lift a finger; aside from the set up, that is.Designed to cut lawns up to 400m2 at a height of 20mm to 60mm, this compact mower drops its clippings back onto the surface of the grass for a naturally fertilised, healthier lawn. If this sounds like your garden then you’ll be pleased to know that the LawnMaster VBRM16 can handle inclines up to 35%. But for those of you that are keen to stick with the brand then you might try the LawnMaster L10 which has a slightly larger 18cm cutting deck, however, it does require a charge station and the boundary wire to be installed around the lawn.

I’ve spent the winter toilet-training a puppy and the VBRM16 ended up spending quite a bit of time stuck in the corner of my lawn the dog seems to have favoured, bouncing between patches of scorched grass. The charging station sends a safe, low voltage signal along the boundary wire which the mower senses and won’t go past. A robotic lawn mower is a device that is designed to cut your lawn without you having to walk around the garden and do the work yourself. The battery, as I mentioned, is quick to charge and once it’s ready, can be easily slotted into the back of the LawnMaster VBRM16.Both are amazingly simple to get started and have even simpler controls that even those who aren’t the most tech savvy can understand.
