Robot lawn mowers

A robot lawn mower has to know where in your garden it is. It does this with navigation technologies. Some robot lawn mowers work with a perimeter wire. Other robots use a camera, laser, satellite connection, or a combination of multiple technologies. The better your robot understands your garden, the more neatly it mows. Pay attention to the navigation technologies in gardens with bends, paths, or multiple lawns. In that case, it's best to choose a robot lawn mower with hybrid navigation.

With object detection, your robot lawn mower recognizes objects in the grass and drives around them. For example, toys, garden furniture, or something your dog dropped. We divide robot lawn mowers into 3 categories: basic, advanced, and intelligent object detection. The smarter the technology, the more precisely the robot can see what's there and the better it can dodge. That means less damage, fewer errors, and a neat lawn. Even if there's something on your grass regularly.

Have bumps, small steps, or sunken tiles in your garden? You'll want your robot lawn mower to smoothly drive over them without getting stuck. We've calculated the height difference each robot lawn mower can handle for you. We measure this in centimeters. A model that can drive over high differences can mow more of your lawn automatically and won't get stuck as much. That's useful for older gardens or gardens with many different levels, for example.

For a neatly mowed lawn, it's important that the robot also mows the edges of the lawn. We've measured the amount of centimeters it stays away from the edges per robot lawn mower. The closer the robot mows to the edges, the less you have to trim with a trimmer. That way, you have a neat lawn without you putting in too much effort. You'll especially see the difference when you have many paths, flowerbeds, and bends. Your lawn is neatly trimmed throughout this way.

Does your lawn have an incline or do you have a slope along a ditch? The maximum incline indicates how steep the incline the robot lawn mower can safely drive on is. We express this in percentages. The higher the percentages, the steeper the slope. A robot that can handle a larger incline can also automatically mow sloped areas. That way, you don't have to trim as much and even the inclines remain nice and short.

With the cutting height, you can choose how short you want your grass to be. With the cutting width, you can see how wide the robot mows in 1 lane. Robot lawn mowers with more settings for cutting height and a matching cutting width provide more control. That's because you can decide how your lawn looks more accurately. That way, you can choose if you want neat and short or a bit higher and fuller. You can neatly and evenly mow your entire lawn this way.
