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 The Worx Landroid M500 Plus WR165E reduces this problem. The spinning disc that the cutting blades are attached to is offset from the centre, closer to the side of the mower, which lets it cut closer to edges. It doesn’t eliminate the problem completely, but if you lay your boundary wires carefully, you can minimise the extra work that’s left behind. 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 Instead of being guided by a wire, the mower uses a camera mounted on the front of the device to scan the lawn in front of it. If it sees a surface that isn’t grass, it turns round and heads off in a different direction. Because of this it doesn’t need a perimeter wire or a charging station – when it’s cut enough you simply switch it off and put it away. The battery is removable and is charged in a separate charging unit. ADJUSTABLE CUTTING HEIGHT: Choose from cutting heights of between 20mm and 60mm for a neat looking lawn. For best performance and to encourage healthy lawn growth use 60mm for longer grass and after regular mowing, gradually reduce the cutting height to your desired length.

Edge cutting: No robot mower can edge your lawn as well as you can but some can trim closer to your flower beds than others. To reduce secondary mowing, look out for models with offset blades. But simplicity isn’t the only thing that the LawnMaster L10 has going for it. It has some exciting features that make using a robot lawn mower for the first time a very pleasant experience. As you can see from my video review of this mower, it does a pretty impressive job. But let’s take a look in greater detail in this LawnMaster L10 review. Main Features The mower makes your lawn attractive and healthy because of its mulch function. It leaves all the tiny pieces of grass over the grass bed so that they can decompose and add some nutrients to the soil. To change the cutting height, there is a simple to use dial. It can deal with slopes up to 35 per cent and leaves no grass clippings to dispose of.

No bells and whistles but the LawnMaster L10 represents decent value for money

Well, our top recommendation is Flymo 1200R that can maintain your lawn very well due to its 1.6 Ah lithium-ion battery and 17 cm cutting width. Other options are equally efficient and you can choose any one of them depending upon the size of the lawn, budget and other functions. Shifting to robot lawn mowers is the need of the hour, especially if you cannot spend extra time on lawn maintenance for some reason. You might think, which is the best mower among the eight we listed today? With the boundary wire in place you need to finish the set up by connecting to the base station and a power outlet. On the plus side the L10 comes with a long power cable which gives you options to place the charging base pretty much wherever you want without the need for an extension cable. If you have an obstacle on your lawn, you can run the perimeter wire out to, and around the obstacle to tell the L10 where not to mow. Just be sure to run the perimeter wire less than 1cm apart leading out to the obstacle to ensure that the robotic mower ignores this stretch of the wire and mows over it.

For large lawns with the complex layout: Mcculloch ROB 1000: ROB 1000 is a hard-working mower that needs 50 minutes of charging and is capable to cover lawns up to 1000 m2. Its easily manages slopes up to 25 per cent of 14 degrees and never compromise with the grasses around the obstacles. The good news is; it can mow your lawn with perfect results even if you are not around.

Like most robot mowers the L10 uses three small blades to cut the grass and they did a decent job. But – there’s always a but isn't there – the mower uses a random pattern which we found confusing. And, if we didn’t leave running long enough it missed small patches of grass. The first time we left it running for 30 mins to get the lawn in a decent state. For consecutive cuts we dropped the cutting height to 20 mm and ran for about 15-20 mins. In the pantheon of robot mowers, this is an excellent high-end option that boasts impressive performance and a price to match. As with all robotic lawn mowers the LawnMaster VBRM16 is a mulching mower. This essentially means that it doesn’t collect the clippings as this simply wouldn’t be feasible with such a compact machine. Instead, when you first get the robot, you only need to charge the removable battery using the separate charging unit. It comes partially charged and I found it was fully charged within 30 minutes. Remove it from the charger and slot it into the cavity on the rear of the mower, and it’s good to go. The battery should last around three hours and only takes an hour to charge from empty. I allowed the lawn in my front garden to grow to around 60mm, despite having given it the first cut of the season the week before testing the LawnMaster VBRM16. For this, I used the 40mm cutting height but there are five options to choose from between 20mm and 60mm which I thought was more than adequate.
