FAQ

How do robotic lawn mowers work?

Robotic lawn mowers operate autonomously within a defined perimeter, set up using boundary wires. They navigate your lawn, cutting grass to a consistent height with their sharp blades. Equipped with sensors and smart technology, they can detect obstacles, uneven terrain, and even rain, adjusting their mowing schedule or path as necessary.

Are robotic lawn mowers safe around pets and children?

Yes, most robotic lawn mowers are designed with safety features such as lift and tilt sensors that stop the blades if the mower is picked up or flipped over. While they’re generally safe, it’s recommended to supervise young children and pets when the mower is in operation.

Can robotic lawn mowers handle uneven lawns or steep slopes?

Many models are capable of handling uneven terrains and slopes up to a certain incline, usually around 20-35%. It’s important to choose a model that matches the specific needs of your lawn, considering its layout and gradient.

How do robotic lawn mowers know when to mow?

Robotic lawn mowers can be programmed to follow a specific mowing schedule, allowing them to start and stop mowing at predetermined times. Advanced models can even adapt their mowing frequency based on grass growth rates and weather conditions.

Do I need to clean my robotic lawn mower?

Yes, regular cleaning is recommended to keep your robotic lawn mower running smoothly. This typically involves removing grass clippings from the wheels and cutting system. Most models are designed for easy cleaning, but always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for specific guidance.
