The dishes in this analogy would be some of the edges of your lawn, the odd hard to reach patches of grass due to narrow paths, the other side of your fence unless you’ve dragged a perimeter wire there as well and manually brought the mower there for the time being, the weed among your flowerbeds, though it might do a number on your kids’ toys (“learning the hard way”), and so forth.

It’s perhaps an unavoidable downside to such a compact mower but the advantage is that it tucks effortlessly into the smallest of spaces.

With a larger battery and longer boundary wire the L12 takes care of lawns up to 800m2 giving you the freedom to relax or get other things done. Such features can be quite handy providing “status updates, such as whether the mower is charging or cutting, even when you’re away from home”.

This inevitably means it will leave a strip of uncut grass around the edge of your lawn that you’ll have to trim manually but this is no different to other robot mowers. I have no idea what is meant by it as I’ve never bothered to learn the local vernacular beyond the ability to reply to an “Alwight, geezer? Designed by Bosch’s finest brains for gardens of small to medium size, if you cannot abide the idea of getting your thumbs green or, indeed, you have such horrendous hay fever that getting cut grass in your nostrils signifies the start of a sneezing fate worse than Hell, then why not let a robot run all the risk? Just to make sure we’re talking CHEAP… Of course you can get yourself one of the most expensive robot mowers like the Husqvarna Automower 435X AWD or an equivalent that pack powerful features such as the ability to traverse around obstacles with no contact, climb steep (35 °) inclines with all-wheel driving (AWD) along with a beast of a battery pack, GPS navigation system mapping out the entire lawn so it doesn’t mow randomly, and so much more, but the initial cost would be too much for my monthly salary to handle.Most mowers operate within an electronic perimeter wire, which is “laid around the lawn edge just under the surface of the turf”, which serves to orientate and guide the mower during its operation. We were also blown away by the Flymo EasiLife Go 150 Robotic Lawnmower, which served as a welcome reminder that one of the world’s most popular lawnmower brands is still very much one to be reckoned with.

It’s solid, reliable and has plenty of additional features that’ll help your garden look fabulously lush and trim. Smart, certain robot mowers can remember their last position before charging, allowing them to resume mowing seamlessly.If goods are sold by tender then the bidder has to comply with all the terms and conditions as it would relate to the sale being completed as a tender. Certain mowers can handle “sharp angels and oddly shaped nooks and crannies”, while others may not be as capable. A number of electrical items sold may have been previously owned and as such may become blocked by a network provider, antitheft software or previous user.
