Product Information

A rear roller is used on a regular lawn mower to weigh down on the grass which in turn creates stripes. However, this is not a feature you see on a robot mower as there simply isn’t enough weight to make stripes. In summary, robotic mowers do not create stripes on your lawn for this reason and the fact that they mow in a random pattern. Can You Mulch With A Robotic Mower? For more information on adapting your lawn to get the best performance from the VBRM16, see our video guide and FAQ. The LawnMaster 3-in-1 Cordless Grass Trimmer can be easily converted from trimming to edging mode at the touch of a button. Change the angle of the cutting head to edge, trim and reach under objects such as benches and trampolines. For your comfort, the front handle height can be adjusted. The plant guard protects tree bark and plants from being accidentally cut. The auto feed spool system automatically dispenses extra line so you can continue to trim when the line wears or breaks. 1 spool of 1.6mm line included. Replacement spools are widely available. What you spend on a robot lawn mower will largely depend on what features you would like. It goes without saying that those with more features and that are larger and more powerful will come with a higher price tag. At the extreme end of the scale, you might pay up to a couple of thousand pounds.

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. While the LawnMaster VBRM16 is a simple robot mower, it does come with a couple of essential safety features that make it a great tool for all homes, even those with children. Lift and Tilt Sensors For the best performance and latest features, keep your VBRM16 LawnMaster robot mower firmware up to date. Additional batteries can extend running time (sold separately). Battery duration depends on lawn conditions. Robotic lawn mowers are becoming ever more popular and in the last few months, boundary wireless models are flying off the shelves. However, the problem is that many of these GPS mowers are incredibly expensive. So, if you’re looking to just test the water, spending all of that money can feel like a no go.I found that, when testing the LawnMaster VBRM16, it detected the perimeter of my lawn very easily and would stop and turn in good time. However, my front lawn, as you will see in the video review, does have well defined boundaries. 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 Buy with the confidence of knowing that your new tools and the batteries come with a two-year guarantee.

Before you get started, you will also need to set up your boundary wires. Pretty much all robot lawn mowers are supplied with these wires and pegs to secure them. You’ll lay the boundary wire around the area that you want the mower to work in, which is pretty simple. Don’t be worried about the wires creating a trip hazard as it is possible to bury them should you need.

Those looking for neater edges will be better served by the Worx Landroid M500 Plus WR165E. This needs perimeter wire and a base station to be installed but its off-set blade is capable of cutting as close to the edge of the grass as a robot mower can safely be allowed. Its cutting schedule can be controlled by a smartphone app and it can manage a lawn of up to 500m2. However, once it’s done, it’s done and you shouldn’t need to do it again. It’s worth taking your time over, as if properly pinned, the wire will soon sink into your lawn as it grows, which in turn protects it from you cutting through it by accident. If you don’t pin it right, the mower might cut through the wire, and you’ll have to do a patch job or lay it down again. Just like your regular lawn mower, robot lawn mowers come with different cutting widths. Since robot mowers are smaller, the cutting widths aren’t usually as wide as a petrol lawn mower, for example. However, it is important to choose something that’s compatible with your lawn. For smaller gardens with tight spaces, a narrower cutting width would be ideal, but for bigger lawns, something larger will allow more coverage in each pass. The 3 pivoting blades can be adjusted to cut grass any height from 20mm to 60mm. High specification deep tread wheels and powerful drive system grips slopes of up to 35% (19º). There are two mowing functions to choose from, either a random or spiral cutting pattern.

A robotic lawn mower is a device that is designed to cut your lawn without you having to walk around the garden and do the work yourself. They are programmed using keypads, apps and boundary wires and you can then leave them to get on with mowing. Anyone who doesn’t fancy the requirement to lay wire or doesn’t have a straightforward place to plug in a charging station should look to the LawnMaster VBRM16. This robot mower scans the grass ahead of itself to avoid driving off your lawn. The downside is that, without a charging station the LawnMaster VBRM16 can’t find its way home. It’s also priced at the affordable end of the scale, but can only mow lawns up to 100m² in size. New technology that may have some teething issues, but continual updates and improvements over time When it comes to finding the best robotic lawnmower for your lawn, it’s important to consider the size and layout of your lawn, as well as the features and functions that meet your requirements. With robotic lawnmowers ranging from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds, it’s essential to find one that fits your budget and provides years of trouble-free mowing.

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 With the LawnMaster VBRM16, you don’t need to blow your life savings to get a robot mower with a fantastic range of features and that does an excellent job of cutting. 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. The blades on any lawn mower have the potential to cause a serious injury so I was pleased to see that the LawnMaster VBRM16 comes with a lift and tilt sensor.
