Three tips for buying a robotic lawn mower
Robotic mowers are recommended based on different sizes and complexities of lawns.
Size of lawn - In order to avoid having to mow around the clock, you should choose a robotic mower that is able to cope with the size of your lawn, and even preferably a little larger. The larger the lawn it is adapted for, the faster it will get your lawn cut.
Lawn slope - If you have a steep slope on your lawn, or a slope at all, this can be a challenge for your robotic mower. Examine both how steep of a slope the mower can handle within an open area, and its maximum limit on slope at the boundary wire.
The great advantage of robotic mowers is their flexibility. To optimise this, it may be a good idea to ensure that the mower is compatible with other parts of your home, i.e. Smart systems, such as Google and Alexa, and mobile apps. This makes the installation, programming and control of your robotic mower easy.
Robotic mowers are notorious for being dangerous to certain animals, especially those that are active at night. Of course, you want to care for wild animals, pets, and small family members.
Although all robotic mowers have the necessary safety functions and sensors, their sensitivity can vary, and their sensors can be slightly differently positioned. Moreover, you should be aware that the mower should preferably only operate during the day, especially to protect hedgehogs, which are usually most active at night.
