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

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?

You know when I first heard about the robotic lawn mower it was almost unbelievable. Technology is taking us real fast into another age. I definitely would like to get one of these and looking at the list of these beautiful mowers I can hardly make up my mind on which one to get. however I liked the shape of the husqvarna and I’m so thrilled to find out that they aren’t as expensive as I thought they would be when i first heard of them.
If you don’t have the time to keep on top of the mowing for large gardens each week, then the Robotic is the way to go in our opinion. Many thanks and best of luck with your final decision, Regards, Steve
