Effortless perfect lawn: TOP 5 robot lawn mowers for home use

The lawnmower of the Swedish brand Stiga Autoclip M3 will become a trouble-free assistant in the care of the house territory and will not burden the household low-cost too much.

The compact squat robot is equipped with a pair of large side wheels with a diameter of 23 cm with treads and one small guide wheel in the centre for easy manoeuvring around the site. A one-piece 4-blade knife with a diameter of 22 cm with 8 cutting edges is hidden from below under the plastic casing, and an intuitively simple manual control panel is located on the back of the case.

The mower is offered in a yellow-black colour that hides dirt well and is not conspicuous. A great workhorse, although a bit noisy (65 dB).

The model is designed for a processing area of up to 300 m²., although it can handle more. In a minute, she passes a strip of grass 25 m long and 25 to 60 cm high, and she has 50 such minutes left. But it will take 25 minutes more to fully recharge.

The device can operate at a slope of up to 45%, avoid obstacles and switch off during rain. To protect against theft, a PIN code and a lift sensor will help. If you lift the mower, the knife will stop, and a notification will come to your smartphone.

Remote control is carried out via Bluetooth using the Autoclip Remote programme. There are several preset modes, but manual adjustment is also possible. The device can be designated 2 cutting zones, and limit the perimeter with a 100 m long fencing cable and mounting nails included in the kit.

Stiga Autoclip M3 will cost a little more than $ 1000, but in return you will get all the necessary functionality to create a neat smooth lawn. A 3-year manufacturer's warranty will be a nice bonus for adherents of reliable products.

The lawnmower robot RLM 4 1.445-000.0 from the popular manufacturer Karcher helps to maintain the aesthetic appearance of lawns and does it efficiently without your help.

The model is made in the company's bright yellow colour, thanks to which it is easily recognizable and noticeable on the territory. Equipped with two pairs of wheels for fast movement. The durable plastic deck reliably protects mechanical components from damage and contamination.

The robot handles perfectly with grass with a height of 25 – 55 mm and a strip width of 20 cm.Two additional mulching blades grind it and leave it on the soil as fertilizer. This is not only useful, but also convenient, mown grass does not need to be cleaned. Thanks to the double-sided blades, the main knife can be turned over and used twice as long.

The machine can work at an incline of up to 45%, has sensors for rain, impact, obstacles, lifting, so as not to damage anything but grass, and after 50 minutes of work it goes to the charging platform itself to resume its duties in 45 minutes.

The mower is controlled and programmed manually from a panel with an informative display. You can designate 3 working zones, set a PIN code with an alarm to protect against theft, adjust the height of the slice in 4 positions, and so on. A 100-metre restrictive wire and 90 pegs in the kit will help to outline the working area, which the robot will process almost to the edges, eliminating the need to cut the edge manually.

As always, Karcher confirms its leadership in the cleaning equipment segment. In RLM 4 1.445-000.0, absolutely everything is good, both performance, functionality, and usability. I set it up and forgot.

The Sileno city 250 15001-20 robot lawn mower from the popular German manufacturer GARDENA has a thoughtful design and high quality of manufacture. It is an perfect helper in small areas and in any weather.

The mower pleases with a strong and hermetic body. All important nodes are securely hidden, so they are not afraid of even heavy rain. Moreover, the robot can be washed with water from a hose.

The machine is designed for mowing a lawn with an area of up to 250 m², and its compact width dimensions of 36 cm allow you to do this even in narrow areas. However, not too hilly, since the permissible slope angle of the robot is only 25%. When hitting an obstacle, the sensor is triggered, and the device changes course, so you don't have to worry about the robot burying itself in some object and starting to slip.

The rotary cutting system processes grass with a height of 2 – 5 cm with a strip width of 16 cm. Knives ensure perfect uniformity of the cover, and mulching eliminates the need to remove the mowed mass. The manufacturer completes the device with a 150 m long restrictive wire and 200 pegs. This is guaranteed to be enough to set the necessary perimeter in which the device will work.

The robot pleases with good battery life. 60 minutes of continuous work, and the same amount for charging. But the most impressive thing is how quietly it works. The noise level of 45 dB makes the humming of the motor quite comfortable even when close.

If you have a dog or children, you don't have to worry about their safety. The device will not hurt — if it is tipped over or detached from the surface, the sensor will work, and the knives will stop. Do not be afraid of theft, an alarm with a PIN code will inform you of an insidious intention. All robot control is performed manually. But for adherents of wireless technologies, there is a version of exactly the same model with a Smart prefix, where it can be done from a smartphone or tablet in a special Gardena Smart programme.
