Only once toil & the whole Somme put your feet up

Ingenious: Finally you can watch times someone from the balcony at the gardening and has thereby not even a guilty conscience. Only these know-it comments: "Further to the left!" are stubbornly ignored.

Noise Level: The cutting goes against the thrust under almost completely. As you wonder at first if it starts already. After laying the cable, the grass is always trampled so flat that you would not necessarily see. In the house you can hear the but only if you really have peace in the area and the unit is just under the window. Neighbors and the postman who in passing nothing happens, where I assume that they had been out of curiosity risked a glance, as was the case as soon as you talk on it. Ginge still a little quieter, but a big step forward for normal lawnmower.

Clutter: We have with three adults and two children for about 8 hours used (2 teams), to 350 m cable were laid. But we had to partially absorb some plasters and re-lay. We have also stung with a spade a groove, levered and cable pure pressed deeply about 5 cm. A parallel wired 250 volt connection cable for an external power outlet does not seem to bother. Only at the sandbox we had to rework because we have the distance of 30 cm measured below, but it survives. At the very first turn on the station has given green LED and the first docking attempt succeeded at first try. Is a pity that an established strictly according to instructions charging station during normal cutting from the side is angebumst. Instead the connections to put on the line of the boundary wire it would also like to extend 20 cm backwards over it. However, it wonders whether then the correct entry is guaranteed to load (not tried).

Runtime: On the expansion area is really mowed until the battery breaks down (about 1:45) Since the robot holds no more reserve to still looking for the charging station. The 8 kg portage from the front yard to the back handles even a petite woman (see. A bucket of water). In Auto mode, the cycles are somewhat shorter, but since everything works without further intervention, I think that only protects the battery from deep discharge allzuhäufigem. Remains to be seen how the life of the battery evolved over the years.

Mowing: We are satisfied so far. Man cuts as long as the time until the result looks shaggy. Then you have to stop something admit again and has found its minimum. There remain only a few difficult corner eg the swing.

A clear downside goes to the designers of the bottom. There are many nested and angled corner, from which you never get the ubiquitous grass clippings again rausgefummelt. There are decades-maintenance designs with simple clean surfaces that can be cleaned without fingers would cancel. A corollary is that initially remain unnecessarily sticking many stalks (especially since there is no rain sensor is installed), and then fall off when they dry on the charging station. Since you have so still rework something. The charging station has no defined outflow, so that just the back forms a precarious puddle near the electrical contacts. But not to lean forward to it, so that the robot guarantees keeps good contact. We'll see if I pierce the base plate with additional holes to the water seep under the station. Perhaps we also provide a kind of kennel over it.
