Q1. What size garden is the lowered priced Flymo robotic lawnmower suitable for?
A. This robotic lawn mower is suitable for lawns up to 400m² plus or minus 20%

A. It depends on the model, for example the Flymo cuts from a low of 2cm up as far as 5cm

Q3. Where do the grass clippings end up?
A. They mulch the grass clippings into the soil so there is no grass box or grass clippings to empty

Q4. How can you keep it secure and safe?

Q5. How steep can the slopes be for them to be operational?
A. It depends on the model, for example the Flymo slope gradient recommendation is 25% maximum.

A. Again it depends on the model, for example the Flymo has a boundary wire of 150 meters with 200 boundary wire pegs while others have a boundary wire of 100m long

Q7. What is the mulching of grass clippings?
A. It is where the small grass clipping disappear back into the soil and they act as a natural fertiliser

Q8. What levels do the boundary wires need to be?
A. The boundary wire should be at ground level or slightly underneath the soil to hide it (example 2cm deep)

Q9. How noisy are they when in mowing operation?
A. They operate at the same noise level as a normal conversation which is typically 58 dbA

Q10. Do you leave it outdoors throughout the year?
A. No, you can leave it out during the Summer months but you need to put it in your shed during the Winter and ensure it is protected against severe cold conditions such as frost or snow

A. Yes, as soon as they bump into anything they will reverse and the blades are protected well underneath the outer casing.

A. Yes, they will mow and travel in random directions continuously and will reverse once it hits an object or the boundary wire.

Q15. Do you need to clean the robotic lawn mower parts?
