Suitable gardensWhat is the maximum operational area for Automower?
Automower can handle areas up to 3000m² +/- 20%, depending on model and complexity of the garden. The area capacity per model is specified as:
Automower 210 C : 0-500m²
Automower 220 AC : 0-1800m²
Automower 230 ACX : 0-3000m²
Will I still need an ordinary lawnmower?
No. We recommend you to complement the edges with a trimmer to get a perfect finish for your lawn.
What do I do if my lawn size is larger than 3000m²?
You can install two or more machines side by side. We have today several “multiple” installations in place throughout the world.
Can I use Automower in smaller gardens?
Yes. Automower 210 C is an efficient, desirable choice for homeowners with smaller or fragmented lawn areas. Using Automower 220 AC or 230 ACX, the working hours can be set in accordance to lawn size. A good guideline is 75m² cutting per hour (220 AC) respectively 125m² cutting per hour (230 ACX).
Can Automower handle all types of gardens?
In principle yes as long as the incline doesn’t exceed 35%. The convenience advantage may be limited in a very fragmented garden (a lawn consisting of many small patches of lawns not connected to each other) as the mower has to be moved around manually. During the installation, you will have to ensure that Automower does not cut areas you do not wish to cut, e.g. flowers, bushes, trees, rocks, etc.
Will Automower cope with my uneven lawn?
Due to the large driving wheels, Automower can cope with uneven surfaces very well. Only small deep holes may cause Automower to get stuck. On the contrary, Automower is small enough to follow the curvature of a rough lawn. It will not scalp the “hills” like many larger mowers.
Can Automower detect objects such as clothes or toys lying around on the lawn?
No. It is up to the owner to keep the lawn surface free from objects. Any object that is small enough for Automower to pass over may be damaged, as well as cause damage to the machine’s blades. Make sure your lawn is clear of small objects before operating Automower.
What about pine cones, tree branches and fruit on the ground?
To maximise the life of the blades these types of objects should be raked or collected regularly. They will not damage the mower, but the blades will wear faster. Tree branches may also damage or bend the blades resulting in a poor cutting performance.
I have a nice flower bed and trees that I want to protect. Is that possible?
Provided the wire has been installed correctly around your flower bed, tree, shrub, or other object, then Automower cannot damage it or intrude into that area.
How does Automower handle very long grass?
If the grass is very long and thick you should raise the cutting height and then gradually reduce it to the preferred level. In extreme conditions the lawn may need to be cut by a conventional mower before Automower takes over.
I have a lot of moss in my lawn – how does that effect Automower?
Actually it is Automower that will affect the moss. The continuous mowing has a very positive influence on grass growth leading to the gradual disappearance of moss from the lawn.
Will the mower cut the grass in rainy conditions?
Yes, but it’s recommended that you bring the mower inside in extreme weather conditions, such as torrential rain and storms.
Will the mower cut in very hot conditions?
The mower is designed to function in temperatures of up to about 45ºC. From about 25ºC the mow and charge times will become shorter, as the battery capacity is lower in hot conditions. The area performance however remains unchanged.
If I want to use Automower at my summer home or share it with my neighbour, can Automower work at two different locations?
Yes. If you buy two charging stations and two loop wire cables, you can have two separate installation sites and use Automower in both locations.
