Buying Guide for Lawn Mower Robots

thank you for the info

and how satisfied are you with it? Currently, I also have the Mcculloch rob on the list at Amazon, it also seems quite good.

So far, we are very satisfied. It is very quiet, easy to clean (rinse with water), and can even mow in the rain. Much more important for us, however, was that it can mow very narrow passages. Our garden is very complex, and therefore there are always tight spots that the mower handles without any problems.

Since when do you have the mower? The information is not nonsense and actually refers to continuous operation. At the moment, our Husqvarna Automower only has to run once a week to keep the lawn nice and short. Last year or in spring, it had to run 6-8 hours daily. With the current weather, nothing really grows.

I can fully recommend Husqvarna. We have an AM 420 for 1300 m².

We have had the mower since May 2018. And back then there was still growing grass. Joking aside, I am well aware that the mower is hardly in use now. And since our garden is very complex and the mower handles everything easily, I can confidently say that you don’t have to buy the larger model but can also slightly exceed the indicated square meters.

But it is true that if a larger mower (in terms of m2 number of the property!) is chosen, the battery lasts longer because there are fewer charge cycles.

Basically a correct thought, but unfortunately not automatic. A good design (from the manufacturer) makes just as much of a difference as a balanced charging management. If the device, for example, were programmed to recognize its own utilization and then always keep the battery between 20% and 80% in the future, the battery would last orders of magnitude longer. And I’m not just talking about a few hundred cycles more, this goes directly into the thousands. It is also very crucial how warm the battery becomes during operation. Black casing, different color, battery exposed or covered, etc. Such things could achieve much more than a simple reduction in cycles.

Unfortunately, this is not particularly helpful now, but I just wanted to mention it. We are currently conducting many evaluations in the field of LiIo at work, and the findings still surprise even professionals every day.
