What Are The Benefits to Owning a Robotic Lawn Mower?
Traditional lawn mowers can potentially be dangerous pieces of machinery. The fast-moving blades can pick up debris, such as small stones, inside the mower and then propel them out. This can inevitably cause accidents and injuries, making it very dangerous for small children. Are you looking for an alternative? In comparison, robotic mowers typically tend to have tiny blades which are fully enclosed on the underside of the mower.
Moreover, robot lawn mowers are not only safer due to the size difference , the mowers have several built-in safety features to ensure they run effectively and safely whilst unattended! Lower group clearance couple with greater clearance between the blades and the chassis offers lesser risk of injury. Additionally, one of the safety features will automatically seize operation of the blades when the mower is lifted or tilted. Furthermore, some safety features includes collision detection, easily accessible emergency stop buttons and a perimeter wire to define the cutting area.
The Benefits
3. Security
Particularly, robotic mower theft is low as a result of the large range of security features in which the machine inherits. When the mower isn’t in operation it will remain at its dock. Typically, they will require a pin code to enter the device, rendering it worthless to thieves. Preventing use to anyone other than the owner or an authorised individual. Following a small number of incorrect attempts, the machine will automatically lock – preventing further attempts for a period of time.
Following, pressing the stop button will halt the machine, many models will begin a timer from the moment the button is pushed. Within the duration of the timer, the pin code must be entered before sounding an alarm.
4. Fertilisation
Significantly, the robot mower will in fact help to fertilise your lawn – ensuring your grass is always looking vibrant! The machine is a mulching mower, meaning the grass is cut into fine clippings which are then scattered on the lawn. Importantly returning the nutrients back into the soil! As a result of the cuttings being so fine, you wont see them on your lawn. Opposed to if you were to do this with a conventional mower, leaving you with large clumps on your lawn.
5. Environmentally Friendly
Collectively, the majority of robotic mowers are powered by lithium ion batteries – which can be charged from main electricity supply. Mains power is more efficient than power produced from conventional mowers. Therefore meaning the environment benefits from the use of renewable sources! Luckily as well, the battery is an expendable part of the mower in which can be replaced yourself at home. Lithium ion batteries tend to have a life-span of approximately 2-5 years.
6. Maintenance
To maintain the performance of your mower, the blades will need to be replaced one or twice p/year. So how can you tell when it’s time to change the blades? The tips of the grass blades may begin to appear whitened – due to fraying from the blunt blade. The blade takes less than 5 minutes to replace, in addition to this, the blades are very inexpensive and can often be bought in bundles.
Cleaning you mower is also another key factor of keeping your mower in good condition. To clean the mower, flip the mower ti access the underside, use a stiff brush and a soft damp cloth. The mower should be cleaned once a month.
1. User Friendly
Firstly, once the device/machine has been installed, the mower will automatically cut your grass – without any involvement from the user. Adjusting the cutting height, schedule and frequency can be configured via a user-friendly control panel. Additionally, on some of the more advanced models, you can even control the cutting settings/schedule remotely from your smartphone/tablet!
2. Consistence and Convenience
Having a robotic lawn mower maintain your garden will ensure your garden looks freshly cut consistently. Undoubtedly keeping your grass looking immaculate. They are designed to mow your lawn on a frequent basis, as often as every day if required! With you everyday conventional mower, you wont be able to achieve the same results unless you are very committed! In addition to this, it is unhealthy to cut large proportions of the grass at one single time.
Moreover, the mower can be scheduled to run only when no one is utilising the space. Allowing you to get on with your day whilst the machine looks after your grass. Due to the size of the machine, they are more capable of getting into the little corners and tricky spots around your garden!
