So happy with my robotic mower. Excellent cutter, no problems, cuts my garden neatly & cleanly. Everybody has commented on how good it is. Weatherproof and although requires getting on hands & knees to install once done has required no upkeep just a perfectly cut lawn week after week with NO effort required.
So far I can’t fault this product at all – does exactly what it should do
Great mower
Got for my gran who struggling to mow the lawn due to her age. Grass is looking good. Definitely recommend the product. Little difficult to install but worth the effort.
This product is worth every penny! I didn’t realise they were so affordable and we have a large garden so wasn’t really sure if it would work, it does brilliantly.
Next to the central heating this is the next best product we have ever bought. Saves us so much time, not just cutting the grass but taking it to the top. 5 stars all the way!!!
Pretty good automation, but the cut radius is too small IMO. Often getting little tuffs of grass here and there it misses. A wider cut would help a great deal I think.
The spot but function is a great idea to handle the issue, but not perfect.
Easier to setup than the 1200r model which we previously owned
Easy to set up and it works so well keeping our lawn tidy. Very happy!
It is very easy to use as it can be programmed to mow via Bluetooth App. Be sure to follow the instructions for the guide wires and bury them .But if for any reason you want to stop and restart that’s not a problem.Wheels can get clogged and cause it to falter ,no problem just clear them and restart via 4 number code( you will have set whilst installing)
Worth the investment. So quiet you don’t hear it working. Would recommend
Great and brought on offer so 300 less than my garden centre
I replaced my very temperamental more expensive Bosch machine (which had to be replaced twice) with this, and the little fella continues to work brilliantly. Simply gets the job done. Would recommend.
Absolutely love mine. Had it since 2018. Cuts in all weather. Love watching from hot tub. Occasionally gets stuck but no problem. Blades cheap. Just get it.
I love my robot lawn mower. It’s a bit of a faff to install the boundary wire (buried), but once done, you can just sit back and watch it mow. The only downside it that you have to take it and the base station inside during the winter, but it’s not a big deal. It does a great job of cutting the lawn, and saves the issue of having lots of grass cutting to deal with.
I’ve used this now for 2 seasons (summer/autumn 2019 and spring/summer/autumn 2020) and I’m not regretting the decision at all.
In general it’s a great bit of kit and once you’ve gone through the initial pain points of setting it up it really is a very low maintenance worker, considering it goes out (in our garden) 3 times a week.
A few points to note are:
1. the initial setup
Putting a guide wire around the area you want cutting takes a little while (a good afternoon’s work). We decided to just peg it in rather than dig a trench and have had no problems with the guide wire being cut. We started out with the cutting blade on it’s maximum height and slowly reduced it over the course of a month. The guide wire is now barely visible at all. In most places it’s completely invisible.
The manual recommends putting the base station out in the open, but I ignored this and shoved it in a corner. This doesn’t seem to be much of an issue, except that the mowbot can’t get to the spots in and around the base station to cut them. I just break out the strimmer once in a while to take care of this.
2. Including a separate garden area.
This is a little tracker to do, but not impossible. We have a very small front garden which needs mowing, didn’t want to have to buy a mower just for this, so instead we ran the guide wire from the back garden, through the garage and into the front garden. Looped the guide wire around the front garden and then back through the garage to the base station. This ensures the guide wire is one continuous loop. There’s a few places where the guide wire is plainly visible, but I’m willing to accept this as a compromise.
To cut the front garden I have to carry the mowbot through the garage, place it on the front garden and switch it to a ‘manual’ mode. It then bounces around the front garden until it’s battery runs out. Occasionally a passer by will stop to take pictures of it, it’s become quite the celebrity…
3 general maintenance
The main thing to do is to replace the cutting blades now and again. I’m particularly lazy with this and have used 2 sets of cutting blades per season. I think the manual advises to change them more often, but I’ve not had any issues yet. You get some spare blades in the box, but there are plenty of extra blades on amazon for a good price. I don’t think I’ve used all the original blades yet, but I have bought an extra pack (not flymo originals) which I haven’t opened.
The wheels sometimes get a bit muddy, especially during autumn months, so you might find you need to scrape mud off the wheel treads to make sure it doesn’t stop the wheels slipping or rotating. You could always stop it from mowing until it’s sunny again.
Otherwise, there’s very little to worry about. It’s very easy to get caught up watching it working to be honest. I’ve spent far too long staring at the thing.
4. Husqvarna
Husqvarna seem to be the industry standard and leader in robotic mowers. It’s interesting to note that some of the parts of the Flymo 1200 R are branded Husqvarna – I think this particular model is an older Husqvarna model rebranded with the flymo badge, which gives some confidence in build quality. (This is just my speculation, I’ve not researched this!)
In Summary there’s some pro’s and con’s to this mower;
Pro’s
– Never needing to mow your lawn again
– No clippings to take care of as the they are so small they’re basically invisible
– It lives outside so no storage space required inside until the winter months, but then it doesn’t take up much room.
– Seems to run pretty smoothly with very little maintenance required
– Works any hour of the day you want it to – rain or shine!
Con’s
– Initial setup takes some time
– If you have a separate front garden that you also want mowing, it’s a bit of a faff (but not impossible)
– It occasionally gets stuck either when it’s cutting blade is blocked (rogue palm leaves that it can’t cut through are a pain in our garden) or if it goes over a nasty pothole (we have a regular fox that visits our garden who digs holes for a laugh)
– It’s minimum operating temperature is 4 degrees (i think?) so it has to be put away for the winter (I also clean it off and shove it back in it’s box for the winter months.. this can take an hour or two)
– Doesn’t do the edges very well – especially where the edge of the lawn comes up against a wall or fence and it can’t get right up against the edge to cut. You may need to break out a strimmer or edging tool now and again.
Delighted with this lawnmower does a fab job would highly recommend
Lawn looks perfect. Setting up is easy. Don’t worry about the green wire, after a few weeks it completely disappears
I needed help from a neighbour to set up the boundary wire etc. but after it was installed I never looked back. I love this robot mower it is brilliant and it is so easy to use. It mows the lawn and there are no clippings as they go back into the soil. When it needs recharged it goes back to the charging station itself. My neighbour has one and his lawn is amazing and looks like a carpet. Hopefully mine will look like his in a while.
My initial review is below – here’s an update. For the last six months I’ve had nothing but problems with the boundary wire/base unit. The base says the boundary wire is in Eco mode and the mower won’t work, or says the boundary loop is not detected etc. First time I tried suggestions to find a possible break, replaced some cable (without finding a break) and it seemed to fix it. A few weeks later same issue, this time found that turning power on/off fixed it. A week pr so and it happened again. Reported fault to Amazon as it was approaching end of 2 yr guarantee, they put me onto Flymo. They had nobody available to help me, said the guy was off work. I tired connecting a new (unburied) loop of wire and it did not fix it, despite the loop being complete. Phoned Amazon again, Flymo phoned me, could not help, still nobody available. A day later a new version of the app was available, downloaded it and it worked ok. At least for a few months. Keeps doing the same, saying no boundary loop detected, then a day or two later it is ok. Now won’t work at all, same error. Tried connecting a new loop again and still saying no loop detected. Piece of shi*. Please do not buy this model.
Initial review: Read lots of reviews before buying, chose to go for mid-range price (this was on offer at time so less than 500). Installation looked simple enough, choose suitable place for charging point, then lay guide cable around the edge of the lawn. This, and quite a few other robot mowers, has an extra cable laid for returning to its charger. It took a couple of hours. Next is setting the mower up, this took a little longer. It didn’t like that I want the charging point off the lawn. I ended up setting up a temporary home near the off-lawn location, got the mower to understand this, then moved the charge point off the lawn as I wanted! The mower is excellent, lawn is 150 square metres and it keeps it trimmed really well in around 3 hours per day – the mower or app works this out. The app it comes with is ok, it is bluetooth only so you have to be nearby to make changes. Had one mis-hap when one of the edge cables was cut by the mower. I decided not to bury the cable, the grass was beginning to grow over it, but we have a visiting hedgehog who thought it was a worm and pulled the cable above the grass! Realised this when I spotted similar happenings the next morning. Easy repair completed using spare jointing blocks. After a few weeks 90% of cable cannot be seen.
What do I like about this mower? Lawn is kept short, even after rainy days. Weeds are disappearing – I remove the odd dandelion flower but prior to the robot mower it was a mess. No grass cuttings to dispose of.
What could be improved? Control via wi-fi. A more random return to base as you can generally see the tracks left with daily cuttings. Easier set-up allowing the charging point to be placed off the lawn.
What you should know before buying – you are told to unplug the charger and edge cables if there is a thunderstorm!
Would I buy this one again if I had to replace it? NO I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT. NOW THINKING OF JUST DIGGING UP LAWN AND DOING WITHOUT GRASS.
This lawn mower is excellent and once you go through the lengthy set up process (put at least a couple hours aside) it looks after it’s self.
Great little mower. I would highly recommend burying the wire though as it cut through it twice while it was above the ground.
It takes a while to get the boundary set. lots of bending but simple to do. Machine is easy to set up and does its job really well. Will save hours of mowing and the lawn will always be well cut.
Great robotic lawnmower bit of work to do first by putting wire round lawn and connecting to base.
When I got the correct way of using this machine, it’s really good, it does its work as and when its supposed to and does a great job….
Hard work putting the guide wires in then didn’t work, the terminals on the docking station were so flimsy they didn’t work, replaced with better quality ones and now works great. Brought for my 80.year old parents , now they sit and watch the lawn being mowed.
Reliable and well made. Shop around for best price. 2 months on and a happy owner.
I love this product.
I took a long time to read over reviews and different models and even debated buying this for over a year. BUT WHY!!! Yes, it’s a bit fiddly to bury the wire as it took me a few hours but once it’s down it works a charm. I initially pegged it on top so I could see anywhere I needed to adjust which was worth it.
My garden is really uneven and there are the few odd areas that I have filled holes it but had this nearly a month and so impressed that all I have had to do is reach for the strimmer.
Yes there are more complicated models but it’s not needed. I have an array of gadgets and smart home stuff and just wish I bought this sooner. Saves me a couple of hours a week and that’s what it’s all about. Job done.
Set up, sit back and let Little mo do the work, extremely pleased and amazed.
Best thing I ever bought I will never mower the grass again with this machine I can sit and enjoy the sun with a bee
As the title suggests this is simply a game changer. Would never go back to a traditional lawn mower again. I confirm that I buried the wires but became invisible in a matter of weeks. My garden is around 400m2 and had cut my lawn daily without any major issues. Will defo recommend it to anyone!!
This Flymo Robot mower is absolutely fantastic. It does everything it is supposed to do. Easy set up, and very good instructions. Once the boundary wire is in place, no more problems. Excellent and very highly recommended mower.
Great product, keeps the lawn perfect, bout a second one for the front law
Great product , fiddly and time consuming to setup guide and home wire, but commonly done once . Once done works a treat , tirelessly . We called ours Salah , Mo . Kids and pets love to follow around . Battery rechargeable, is a replacement part. Should last , made by husky . Love to watch myself at 7 am having my coffee . Flatter , squarer the garden the better .
I cannot explain how satisfying it is to see this little guy chug around my 1/4 Acre – keeping the lawn neater and greener that I could have ever imagined. Sure – its a bit of a pain laying down the boundary wire, then fine tuning the wire (and repairing a guy few guts before burying) BUTY IT IS WORTH IT. So happy with this purchase.
So easy to set up and saves me so much work
I wasn’t sure this purchase was necessary but after a summer of not having to mow lawn every two weeks and having a beautiful lawn I am totally converted!
Mo is a member of the family. Even the dogs has grown to love him.
Great robot, have had him for two years now and he’s been brilliant. Occasionally gets stuck, but generally does his job well and the lawn looks good. People find him entertaining and the dogs ignore him.
Product arrived next day, and the following weekend I set about placing the boundary wire, guide wire and recharging station. Picked an absolutely foul weekend to do this, heavy rain etc, but I was excited!
Having read other reviews and advice, I decided to go straight for burying the cables, rather than pegging them to the surface. I used an edging tool to cut a slot and then pushed the cable into that, to about 1-2 inch depth. Took quite a while due to the miserable weather conditions, and the fact that our garden size is at the upper end of the range for this mower, with various ‘island’ trees to consider.
Got it done eventually and had the mower on charge as suggested while I was doing this. Once set up, and after a final cut with our old mower as the lawn was quite shaggy, I set the robot to work.
Now, the nominal cutting width of the blades is 175mm so very narrow and our garden is quite large and an odd shape. I had been worried due to the random cutting pattern used by this mower, that there would be odd little triangles of tufty uncut grass all over the place. I neednt have worried however, this mower is fantastic. I set it to cut between 7am and 7pm every day initially – which it does by cutting for about an hour, then returning to base for an hour or so to recharge, then cutting for another hour and so on, until 7pm. So approximately half the time in fact is spent cutting.
Initially there was the odd high spot where it might go aground (tree stumps that I’d cut close to the ground but not close enough to pass over or high enough to bump into and turn round, but I then removed these altogether. So the first week or so was really fine tuning. I started with the mower on the highest cut setting (50mm) and then gradually wound it down to about 30mm as the days passed. I have never known my lawn to look anywhere near as good. It is short, uniform, and looks a beautiful healthy green. There is no trace of any clippings. Because the mower cuts every day, the amount cut is only a few mm at a time so the clippings are tiny and just mulch straight back into the lawn. And after the preliminary set up, it really did just get on with it with no intervention from me. Kept it going until the first frosts came in early november, which is much later than I’d normally cut the grass if I were having to get the old mower out and cut it myself – but this one just trundles out as programmed come rain or shine and does a fantastic job. It has now been put away in the shed along with its base for the winter. The wires mercifully can stay put all year round.
There are slight long patches right around the perimeter where it doesn’t cut, but if you set the boundary wire up correctly, these should be minimal and can easily be taken care of with 10 mins of strimming every couple of weeks.
It does require a bit of thought and planning before setting up and I would urge you to do this and read the manual carefully as it will pay dividends.
But really this has become one of the best purchases I have ever made.
Not sure how the longevity the battery will be, but if that ends up being 100 quid every couple of years for a new one, it will more than be paid for by personal time freed up and petrol saved.
Do it!
– This mower does my 700 m2 metres meters square lawn quite easily. It cut all the fairly high grass down to a low height in only 2.5 days. In my opinion this mower would easily cut 1,000 m2 meters square plus as it can be set to run all 7 days of the week. One review on here suggests this mower will cut 4,000 m2. I can quite believe that because much larger areas offer long clean runs without continual stopping and turning, where as smaller lawns mean the mower is spending lots of time inefficiently stopping and turning.
– I paid 400 for the mower delivered from Amazon and bought an extra kit on ebay containing 150 metres perimeter wire, 300 pegs & connectors for the larger lawn. This extra kit cost 33. So total cost all in was 433 delivered.
– The total length of the supplied perimeter wire (150 metres) plus the additional perimeter wire I added on for the larger 700 m2 meters square lawn is 210 metres.
– The join in the perimeter wire for the return to base wire and the join for the extra perimeter wire do not affect the performance of the mower detecting the edge of the lawn. Edge detection works flawlessly on all of the perimeter.
– I installed this on Friday morning. It took the whole morning to install. It did 3 cuts and charge cycles on Friday before I realised that I had to press AUTO to get it working as much as it will (it will only cut 12 hrs a day because of Flymo imposed firmware limitations).
– After I had installed the RTB wire I did the initial “can it follow the RTB wire” test. On the menu it’s called the “Calibration”. This checks that it can follow the RTB wire all the way to the end. It does this then starts cutting. I thought that the mower was all automatic after that. It’s not. It does return to base, after this initial test then when it gets back you must press AUTO and start while it is charging. It will then cut automatically on the timer. You must also set the timers for the amount of cutting time & respective days you desire.
– This mower is a wholly HUSQVARNA mower. Husqvarna bought Flymo. The mower is badged Husqvarna all over. This is a quality mower. Husqvarna are the market leader and were building auto mowers decades(?) (a long time in any case) before anyone else.
Limitations / to do list :
– This mower is limited by the firmware on board to only cutting 12 hrs per day. Even if you set it to cut from 00:00 to 23:59 it will only cut for 12 hours in each day. You can set it to cut every day if you want. The literature does not list how many hours it will actually cut as a maximum per day if you set it to cut 00:00 to 23-59, only lists maximum operating time, which is charging time plus mowing time.
– The danger of power cuts. The mower uses the powered edge wire to know where the grass boundary is.
If like me you have a grass boundary which is a flat surface, and which is connected without barrier to another property owners land and the public highway then a potential power cut is a problem. Because in the eventuality of a power cut the mower would not be able to detect the edge wire – because the edge wire would no longer be powered – and the mower would potentially go off off my land into someone else’s. This obviously could bring mower into contact with children or animals and be a dangerous situation. For this reason I only operate the mower while I am in the house so I can be here in the event there is a power cut.
this problem can be resolved with a battery operated current detection system that will send a radio signal to the mower in the event it detects a lack of current in the edge wire, the more I would have a similar simple radio connected to a battery that would then activate the stop switch. this is actually a simple circuit to implement, but it is a question of when I get the time to do it.
– The mower is currently limited by it’s own firmware to being able to charge and cut for only 12 hours per day. This limitation can be circumvented through some combination of resetting the mower and reprogramming it on the fly while it is mowing (avoid on the fly reset while it is charging). This could be done through use of an additional pre-programmed chip, placed on top of or inside the mower, connected to the mower internal chip pin out. Or for more convenient control – even more work – through the use of simple radios as mentioned previously (NRF24 or RFM69C).
– additionally, the use of a GPS with an internal map would alleviate the problem that can potentially be caused by a power outage on the boundary wire, and a rogue mower going off to where it should not, and would also allow the mower to be directed to spend equal amounts of time in all areas. This is future work which I could do but simply have not the time to implement.
– Once an open source project is developed that provides a board with on board (i) control chip, (ii) firmware ie re-programmable software that is baked into a chip (iii) gps (iv) wi-fi (v) remote sophisticated app for our phones all we will need to do is disconnect the current control board and place in a new one. This cannot come fast enough. I am sure the Ardumower project will develop into this.
I will update this review after a few months
Works ok for me, the only drawback is you have to get the strimmer out to cut the perimeter of the lawn where the robot can’t get too. Its a small penalty to pay as it does a cracking job of the rest of the lawn. Just be conscientious with setting the boundary wire up and making the connections.
EDIT April 2021. Put the machine out early April.
It worked on one occasion and then lost all power, technically its still in warranty, Flymo tech support extremely difficult to contact. Its only worked for two seasons.
Edit June 2021, An electrician resolved the earlier problem above. It worked for a few weeks but has broken down again. As usual customer support not contactable, I have only a few days left on the warranty, I will be buying all future big purchases on the high street where I can take them back to the seller. No more big stuff off Amazon, go to B&Q you know where they are
Nothing to dislike – he is marvellous – we have a difficult garden – large pond in the middle but he gets round it and keeps the grass looking O.K. it gives our gardener the extra time to actually garden for us. I think it would be a good idea for the wiring from plug to robot (the black and white wiring) to be longer as it limits where one can site it and we have to have the shed in sight because our outside plug is on the house wall. However, not much of a sacrifice.
It takes some time to prepare the field, but worth it.
This mower has been life changing. Took a whole weekend to set up but well worth it. Top tip – watch the videos on You Tube to help with the boundary wire set up. It’s saved us so much time this summer, cutting the lawn and trips to the tip with cuttings as this product does all that for you. I haven’t set timers on mine. I put it out when I’m home and just leave it run all day so I can keep an eye on it as it had a tendency to get stuck in places at the start. I’ve remedied that now. Wished I’d got one ages ago.
I’ve had the product since early summer and it has saved me days of lawn care. After and installation and simple configuration I just left it to it’s own means with minimum maintenance. Garden looks very good. About to pack it away for winter.
Have used it for 6 months shows 95 hrs of use. Does a fantastic job and now the lawn looks better than ever.
Best purchase I have made lately . Better performance than I thought and rugged and reliable . Great stuff !!
Works as it should..after trying a few others in the past, this has been the best.
Quick delivery, might be difficult to setup initially but it works great.
Absolutely thrilled with our robotic lawnmower. Easy to install, works like a dream. Our grass has never looked so good. Wish we had got one years ago.
Great mower but need to place perimeter wire closer to edge otherwise you will need flat blade edge trimmers!! I have managed to put docking station on patio not on lawn, much neater although mower does play pin ball from time to time but finds its way back onto grass. Have to cut every two days or cuttings collect on lawn and looks a mess!!
It takes awhile to get the cable laid correctly but then …..its great sitting there watching the grass being cut !!
Brilliant, saves time, works well and best of all no grass clippings to dispose of.
I wish I had purchased one years ago!
Good value on prime day.
Easy to set up but the wire can take time to lay (we do have a very large lawn though).
Works great in all weathers.
Best birthday pressie I ever bought my husband
Not sure the cat like it though!
She stalks it around the garde
Most has already been said in the other reviews. Key points are bury the wire in the grass just a cm or two below the grass, use a spade to make a tiny trench to put the cable in. Then sit back with a wine or beer and watch whilst the robot does the job that you used to. Very, very satisfying!
Excellent product! Works exactly as it’s supposed to. Very easy to set up and operate. Great watching it cut the grass knowing I haven’t got to do it!! Worth every penny.
Great lawn mower. Definite worry putting time in to bury the wire as when it is done the mower works like a dream. Garden has never looked so good. Bought on sale so at 100 off it was even better value for money!
Everyone was very impressed with the cut and once set up I just love the fact it’s saved me endless hours cutting the back garden (which is it maximum cut size of 400m sq.). I heartily recommend.
Set up took a while but only because I chose to bury the wire as I have a very curious dog who would likely chew through it otherwise. I hate cutting the grass and now only have to occasionally strim the edges of the garden. Worth every penny!
Once it has been set up and you have got the wire in correctly in the ground etc – which does take a bit of work – I love the fact that you never have grass cuttings ever again. The lawn looks healthier with the tiny clippings just being constantly recycled. Worth getting and worth the hassle involved in the set up
Once you’ve gone through the faff of carefully installing your garden set up – this thing is brilliant. No hesitation in recommending for medium sized garden use. It’s unbelievably quiet, the finish is superb, set it to auto and leave it to do it’s thing.
A bit of edge strimming will be required from time to time, or you could lay a perimeter border to width. Zero regrets buying this.
Prime Day bargain!!
I am very pleased with the results, it is keeping the lawn at a brilliant height, and no grass clippings which is brilliant. Having installed it just gets on and I have forgotten it is there, I am just reminded by the always tidy lawn.
I have hearing problems so this Guy Fantastic.
Very quiet, does not bother me at all,
Faultless performance so far, Best of all I can
leave him to it while i do something else.
And it’s made in the UK
This is the best think ever invented. I love it. Now they just need to invent a dog walker / poop picker robot and I may have time for myself.
Excellent auto mower, just pegged boundry wire and charging wire , too much hassle to bury it, been running for three weeks now with no problems, highly recommended.
This is amazing totally easy to install takes a while but well worth i
simple to install easy to operate and copes well with small gradients. quiet and my lawn has improved no end much greener and looks amazing
i would recommend this brand of robo
I chose not to bury the boundary wire and it has been cut twice which forced me to relay it. Don’t be lazy like me and just dig it in for comfort as good connection is essential
Superb little robot. Bit of a faff to install boarder cabling but once done, long messy grass is a thing of the pas
I have finally got around to using this after waiting for my garden work to be completed.
The wiring was pretty straight forward, the cable is hammered into the grass approx 5cm from the edging and away it goes! It is able to handle various garden ornaments without any hassle, just bumps and moves on, and handle our path without issues. I am also happy to report that is does not have any issues with dogs mess if it goes out before I have scooped the poop. It shreds it and mulches for fertiliser.
The programming for timings was pretty straight forward and it is fully customisable for timings and days.
Once again, cannot recommend enough.
I was sceptical when my husband wanted to by a robotic lawnmower, seemed like a waste of money. How wrong was I? it’s brilliant. It took quite a few hours to install the perimeter and guide wires because we decided to bury them. But once this was done and “Larry” as we call him was on the move, we’ve never doubted the decision. He goes merrily around the garden mowing the lawn. It means we never have to do this again. No more trips to the dump with bags of grass either. I’m so impressed I might consider a robotic hoover next!
It really does the job very good. But it needs a bit of supervision and maintenance.
we love this product.it saves hours of hard work because we have a huge lawn,it starts by itself,recharges by itself..
I have now used this mower for a couple of months and am extremely pleased with it. My lawn must be a mowers nightmare. It has large slopes, rough ‘grass’, twigs from overhanging trees, dips and humps, concrete paths and many garden features to bump into as well as lots of boundaries so many changes of direction. It has coped with them all (suffered a few scrapes down its side) but is a very tough and determined machine.
Very pleased with the Flymo.
I have a Husqvana 450x which has happily cut my large and complicated layout of grass for 3 years.
As a housewarming present for my daughter, decided to try the Flymo 1200 auto mower.
It cost about 1/6th of the price of the big Husqvana but operates on the same principles.
It works brilliantly! Lots less bells and whistles but so what?
I really recommend this product!
It has successfully replaced an old Husqvarna mower which I had for 10 years at a much lower cost!!
I bought this when I moved house and have been so impressed. The grass area is quite large but always looks perfect. It was time consuming to set up with the wire and electrics but worth it now.
Easy to set up, if a little time-consuming in a large garden with features, but once it’s done…that’s it! We set our’s going manually in good weather only and keep it covered with a large plastic box, but that’s because we have dogs that bark every time the mower is out and working. It’s very quiet, cuts extremely well and saves so much time and space in our green bin. I would definitely recommend. Just make sure the wires are set up properly to begin with, then you can sit back and relax. The neighbours are all contemplating getting one, too!
Excellent piece of hardware. My lawn is mowed without me even touching it. But recommend burying the wire as mower has cut it few times without burying.
Great little mower. Took a bit of working out how to incorporate 2 areas across a path, the closest we could lay boundary lines to flat edges and how to link 2 separate manual areas but after experimenting a bit we got there.
Just the best money I have ever spent in gardening. Ever. Just brilliant. Grass looks awesome and zero work. Thank you Flyome
The Flymo is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s been cutting our large and un-even lawn flawlessly for 8 months now.
At the start there where a couple of patches that where too step but I just reduced the incline with a bit of solid.
Really impressed how quiet and reliable this mower is.
The grass look great as well with no long patches left behind.
We have a challenging lawn to mow. It is full of hills and narrow access from place to place and several almost separate lawns. There are also numerous obstacles. However, by careful use of the guide wire I was able to ensure all of it is mowed by this robot.
What used to be an all day job is now a day off.
I cannot recommend this robot mower highly enough.
One thing. Be sure to order a lot more ground pegs and extra connectors if you have a good sized lawn. You will need them 🙂
We needed a new lawn mower, so the decision was simple: buy a new lawn mower and spend an hour a week mowing the lawn or spend a bit more money (and more time setting it up) and then never having to mow the lawn again. Yes it takes a while (like most of a day) to get properly set up especially if you bury the cables (mine are half buried and half pegged). And you do need an outside power supply (luckily we already had one of these). When I finally connected everything up I was very glad to see no fault lights as that does look time-consuming. Occasionally ‘Mo’ (sigh) gets stuck but then our lawn is really uneven – maybe twice a week I have to go and find him and relocate him, but it’s a small price to pay. So far we’ve had him for just over a year and have had no problems at all. Fingers crossed.
Set up with no fuss. Enjoy watching it buzz around the lawn.
Works very well so far. Charging base situated on flower bed (ie off the lawn) with no issues.
Set it up in 3 hours set it off had to modify the boundary due to inability to negotiate round a trampoline which was easy to do by splicing into the boundary. Dose the job well, very quite, dog and cat not bothered by it slow enough for them to get out the way if needed.
Robo cop is excellent cutting the lawn. only time consuming part is setting up the wire system to tell the lawn mower where it can not go. If there is one criticism I have is the plugs to fit the base I had problems with mine every so often they would detach themselves. So I cut mine and soldered spade connectors to the cable and fitted them on and have no issues with the cables detaching from the base
I was sceptical how good a job this would make of my lawn, but since installing it 6 weeks ago, it has been out rain and shine keeping my lawn looking great.
Great idea
Works amazing
Saves tonnes of time
Quite easy to install also and v clever how it works to cover the entire lawn
Covers areas up to 400m2 which is a lot more Han you expect
Great for any size garden really and shape
This is brilliant. Even the hedgehogs chase it around the lawn, A beautifully manicured lawn, thanks to the mower.
Over summer my lawn was like a snooker table.
Bob (As my daughter called it) keeps the lawn perfect with zero effort. In the 6 months it was running it stopped twice. Twice due to my daughter feeding ‘Bob’ bananas.
Only negatives are is that it is a little expensive and could do with incorporating a trimmer for the edges. Overall worth the money.
This product is one of the best purchase I’ve made in a while. Cuts grass while you sit back and relax just make sure you set it up correctly
Takes a bit of time to set up but then saves so much time cutting the grass, as I have it mowing 4-5 times a week my grass has never been so good.
I am more than happy from the product. Used it all summer, the yard never looked so perfect. Deffinately reccomend it.
I was reluctant to buy one of these until I read the reviews and they are quite right. Its great. A little fiddly laying the wires but with a bit of forethought that was not too difficult. I laid them on the surface first to try the layout & when that worked I buried them. It’s the best thing I have bought all year. Sit back & watch it do the work.
Bought this for the in-laws who are getting too old to be pushing a mower even in their small garden. Works well.
This is such an awesome piece of kit, it’s even converted the very sceptical wife who thought I was buying a useless toy. It’s easy to set up, cuts brilliantly, and is addictive to watch. I just wish it coped better with slopes at the edge of lawns and could edge the lawn, but at this price point it’s still a 5 sta
Best purchase ever. It was very easy to set up. lt’s cutting the lawn, giving me time to do other things. The lawn is permanently tidy. No need to worry about when to cut it or if you are going to get a dry day to do it.
We love it. It was easy to set up. You do need to ensure the lawn is at a decent level to start with. It does the job nothing more to say.
Bought in May 2018 and even through all of the dry Summer we now have a stunning lawn. No weeds in the lawn anymore, no grass cuttings to get rid of! Hubby loves to sit with a beer and watch his mower work her little wheels off! Brilliant buy
