Does it have a guarantee? Yes. Two full years from
date of purchase. One year for battery.
How on earth does it know where to
go? Its onboard
software is programmed to recognise the special wire running invisibly
round the lawn edge. It can work out the shape and size of the lawn and
ensure every inch is cut. Unlike other robotic lawnmowers which operate
randomly, Robomow utilises compass technology to allow effective
navigation of the lawn.
How much does it cut?
The RM200 will cut 200 sq meters; the
RM400 will cut 400 sq metres on a single charge. The RL550 will cut around 600sq
meters and the RL1000 c/w dock with happily maintain an
area of 2000 sq metres. All these figures are conservative.
How long does it take to charge? All machines
require a 24 hour charge before operating
again, however, an external battery charger is currently available at extra cost, which charges the
battery within 12 hours. Also there is a docking station is available for the
RL1000, so it can automatically charge itself.
What about flower beds and ponds?
The Robomow stays
within the wire round the edge of the lawn. It cannot cross over and
stray into other areas.
I have more than one lawn - can I install a
Robomow? Yes - the RM400 and RL1000 models can maintain
up to 4 lawns completely automatically. Robomow can be installed to
travel from lawn to lawn, across pathways,
over driveways etc automatically without any intervention required by you. This gives you 100%
automation.
What happens to the wire after I install it? Can
you see it? Will I trip over it?
The plastic coated wire is hammered flush with
the lawn and simply disappears within a couple of weeks as
the grass grows over it. Your Robomow is the
only one who can tell it is there.
How do I get it to cut the lawn
edge? Just press the GO button on the Robomower and
it will make a special circuit round the wire, trimming to the very
edge.When it is finished, it will automatically start mowing the rest of your lawn.
But it won't cut right over the border edge, will
it? YES! Robomow WILL cut right over the lawn edge.
Robomow has offset blades that turn outside of the wheelbase, this means
that it can cut right over the edge. No other robotic lawnmower can do this.
The ourdoor charging station versions (RM400 and
RL1000) are not enclosed - are they suitable for use in the
U.K? Yes - everything is fully waterproof. Both the
Robot and charging station are fully weatherproof and an onboard rain
sensor can determine grass and weather conditions, and adjust its program
accordingly. The contacts for the charging station are made fron
surgical grade stainless steel and will not corrode.
Is it safe?
Yes. It has multiple
safety sensors and automatic cut out protection. The Robomow range
has been subjected to rigorous independent safety testing and is fully CE
compliant.
But what about children and pets? The Robomow is
child and pet friendly - Safety Features include lift sensor that will
stop the blades in less than 1 second (this is the fastest of any robotic mower on
the market). Robomow identifies flower beds, trees, rocks and other
lawn obstacles using its specialist onboard navigation sensors.
Does it work on slopes?
Yes. We usually say if your old mower can do it,
and you can easily walk up the slope without using
your hands, Robomow can do it.
What about noise? These
machines are very quiet when working. So much so that they can be used at
night without upsetting the neighbours.
What about the environment? The Robomow is environmentally friendly ("green")
- it uses no petrol or oil and has no smoke emissions.
Will I be able to give up my old
mower? Yes. Try the RM200, RM400, RL550 and RL1000 and you'll
never want to go back.
