According to our robot lawn mower expert
Cutting a lawn up to 800 m² each time is a hassle. The Robomow RC308u mows for you, while you enjoy a good book in your couch. You lay the 200 meter long perimeter wire around the lawn once, set the desired cutting height and the robotic lawnmower does the rest. You can manage in the interim via the Robomow App. The connection between the app and the robotic lawnmower takes place via Bluetooth. The maximum range is between 10 and 25 meters. This depends on the orientation of the robotic lawnmower (front, left, right or rear). The rain sensor ensures that it stops working when it starts to splash. Because it shreds the cut grass, the lawn soil is fertilized immediately.

The Robomow RC308u has been here for a week now and I wouldn't want to miss it anymore, this is my best investment in recent years. The first thing that comes to mind when you see perfect daily results is why you didn't buy this earlier. My 500 m2 lawn is L-shaped with no beds which made installation easy: less than 2 hours including testing according to the detailed manual. By the way, don't let the first test influence you too much if you are sure of the installation. I followed the guide perfectly regarding distance and angles and during the first test reconnaissance the robot stopped twice. According to the manual you can then adjust the placement of the wire but I did not do this and the mower followed the wire path perfectly during mowing without stopping. In terms of mower, the Robomow does a perfect job. My lawn was re-landscaped last year and I had supplied quite a lot of compost (15 tons). As a result, my lawn grows up to 2 cm per day, making two mowings a week a necessity, resulting in 6 to 8 bags of 80 liters of lawn waste per week and at least 4 hours of work. Now I can sit on my terrace with a cocktail, so to speak: I let the Robomow mow daily and it goes perfectly with my lawn. A mowing cycle takes about 8 hours (of which 4.5 hours to reload) but the lawn looks perfect every day and thanks to the shredding everything disappears between the grass. No more grass waste, a lot of free time saved and a perfectly mowed lawn every day is a fantastic sight. However, the mower has a few drawbacks: First of all, the location of the station: the robotic lawnmower can only enter the station in a clockwise direction. With me the placement would have been nicer if this could also be done in the other sense, but that is impossible. Furthermore, the edge mowing function is OK, but don't expect miracles in case of fences. Thanks to the asymmetrical blade, the robot mows. to closer to the edge but whether you have to mow 5 cm or 10 cm at the edge of fences with a hand mower makes little difference in my opinion. I can imagine that edge mowing does its job perfectly on flower beds and the like, but that doesn't apply to me. Finally, I have my doubts about the rain sensor. Today it was pouring water and the robot just continues to work. Either the function of this is really questionable or the sensor is faulty (trying to find out through the service line). Overall, the Robomow is really worth its money: its design really stands out compared to other brands, there is no noise pollution, it delivers a perfect lawn every day and the weekly time you gain is priceless!

Simple installation. The Robomow does have trouble driving back into the station during the first few days. There are quite a few obstacles near it. (trampoline, soccer goal, hedge. He has also gotten himself stuck in the net of the soccer goal. Be sure to keep in mind that the Robomow can only turn left when departing from its station. As a result, the corners of the lawn where he is out of sight were rather limited. Although it has already done its job very well with the first mowing of the year, I still recommend that you first cut the lawn to length with the regular lawnmower and also make sure that twigs and leaves have been removed. Then the Robomow can keep up with this.

Product is quiet, app works as it should (taking into account the fact that it's Bluetooth and therefore works fairly 'finicky', and only when you're really close to your mower), looks good and seems fairly solidly built.
However: in a garden where the grass is not 100% (so with an occasional bare spot and here and there some loose soil (cats..) this machine causes more damage than it mows effectively.
Exit algorithm can at least be called 'special' (drive to the edge wire, return 180°, bump into the station, drive back to the edge wire, return (3x), fall silent, turn 90° to wrong side, bounces back into station, stop, turn 180°, start mowing (not edge, only zigzag selected).
On our Husqvarna: Back up, turn 90° away from the edge wire, start mowing.
The bike also seems to be suffering from bipolar disorder: if a mini-obstacle gets in the way of the front wheel, or if the front wheel goes into a 3-4 cm hole, it stops after half a second. however, if he hits a fixed obstacle, the engine finds its second breath and he thinks he has to deepen the trenches with his rear wheels, which leads to a lot of damage in the lawn.
With our Husqvarna: light bump, 90° turn, move on. Are you stuck there too, turn. then. not. just. back...
Hardware seems to be good (although the wedge design is really worse than the square type in terms of jamming, software wise this Robomow misses the mark completely.
He doesn't even see the ball. Or he gets stuck on it. Or plow it under.
