Product Information

It’s also a good idea to look for a robot mower whose battery can be replaced. This allows you to swap batteries as their performance drops over the years, which is inevitable. Generally speaking, a lithium-ion battery will last less time than the mower itself so having the option to put a new battery in means you’ll get the most out of your machine. Incline All connectors used in repairing or connecting extra lengths of boundary wire must be of the type supplied in the box (no chocbox connectors) and they should be fully clamped shut with pliers Instead, when you first get the robot, you only need to charge the removable battery using the separate charging unit. It comes partially charged and I found it was fully charged within 30 minutes. Remove it from the charger and slot it into the cavity on the rear of the mower, and it’s good to go. The battery should last around three hours and only takes an hour to charge from empty. The charging station is oriented so that the terminals are on the left and open end on right (as viewed from the centre of the lawn) However, the EasyMove 260B carves a niche for itself with the CloudHawk app. This doesn’t have as many features as the apps on some of the more expensive robot lawn mowers but it expands the abilities of the unit significantly. Crucially, you can take total control of when the robot pops out and does its mowing, either by controlling it manually from your device, or by setting up a schedule.

As you will see in my YouTube video, I tested the LawnMaster VBRM16 on my front lawn which is around 100 square metres; the perfect size for this mower. Powerful, easy to use and built to last, LawnMaster lawnmowers and garden power tools provide a solution for every garden. Our great value lawn mower range includes cordless lawnmowers, electric lawn mowers, robotic lawn mowers and hover mowers. Whatever the shape or size of your garden, we have the best lawnmower for you. The downside of the LawnMaster VBRM16’s unwillingness to traverse anything that isn’t grass is that it wasn’t brilliant around bare patches. I have a fairy ring in my grass that fared particularly badly over the hot summer of 2022 and hasn’t managed to recover, leaving bare patches in the lawn. When the mower approached these, it stopped and avoided them. If it was a flower bed I’d be thankful for it but it’s worth noting that the patchier your lawn, the harder it will be for the Lawnmaster VBRM16 to navigate it successfully.Supplied with a detachable 4.0Ah MX 24V lithium-ion battery and fast one hour charger, the battery can be charged wherever is convenient with no need for an outdoor power source. For people who want a robot mower that is lightweight (6.6kg) and easy to store, the LawnMaster VBRM16 makes an excellent choice as it’s so compact. What’s more, it comes with a carry handle so moving it around is even easier. READ NEXT: Best lawn mower for a small garden LawnMaster VBRM16 review: How well does it mow the lawn? That said, here are some of the most important features you should look for when choosing a robotic lawn mower. Battery Insert the safety key and long press the START/ON button for 3 seconds. Wait for the green lights to stop flashing and the mower to beep.

Setting up the Yard Force EasyMow 260B follows a relatively standard robot lawnmower pattern. It’s quite an involved process, so be prepared to spend a couple of hours crawling around your garden on your knees.LawnMaster – if you are looking for a robotic mower that is simple to set up and budget friendly, then the LawnMaster L10 may be the mower for you.

Buy with the confidence of knowing that your new tools and the batteries come with a two-year guarantee. Model number VBRM16-COMBO As you can see from the information above, there are a lot of options when it comes to robot mowers with each manufacturer competing to bring you the best product. All of the brands I have mentioned above are excellent and I’d have very little problem recommending them. However, you must keep in mind that we all have differing needs so what I might find useful in a robot mower, you may not need.You will likely have a range of objects, people and pets on your lawn at any one time and it’s incredibly important for the safe operation of the mower, so you will be pleased to know that at a minimum all robotic mowers will have bump sensors fitted. Higher end robot mowers will also feature object avoidance which will prevent them from bumping / colliding with anything left on the lawn. Cutting Height

There are loads of things to consider so the whole process might feel a little overwhelming. That’s why I thought it would be good to give you some help. What do I mean by this? Well, unlike most robotic mowers, this one isn’t designed to be left outside all the time. It’s a drop and go machine which can be charged indoors and then you simply need to pop it on the ground and let it do its thing. There are many advantages to this which I’ll dive into in my LawnMaster VBRM16 review. Some of this comes from the comparatively sparse box. Where most robots are supplied with charging stations, pegs and rolls of boundary wire, the VBRM16’s accessories are minimal. There is a charger for the battery but it’s a standalone device about the size of a tub of margarine, which can be stored anywhere and plugged in as needed. The removable battery is also in the box and needs charging before the mower’s first use. The LawnMaster VBRM16 is certainly not the most advanced robot lawnmower you’ll come across. However, if you’re looking for a model that can start cutting your lawn on the day you get it, with no requirement to install wires or connect a base station, it’s a simple and effective machine.It is possible to set mowing schedules and typically, a robotic lawn mower will mow a little off the lawn every day. Whereas, when you mow the lawn with a walk behind mower, you’d probably only mow once every week or two. The LawnMaster L10 is unusual among robot lawnmowers in that it doesn’t give you much control. As with most robot mowers around this price, it follows a random pattern around your lawn, using the principle that if it keeps mowing it will cover the entire lawn eventually.
