Robotic lawnmower

The best part is that you don’t have to be at home when mowing is in progress. Read more and view our range of robotic lawnmowers here at Biltema.

Discover the benefits of a robotic lawnmower

For some people, mowing is a relaxing and calming chore. If you don’t feel the same, you should get a robotic lawnmower.

The biggest advantage of having a robotic lawnmower is undoubtedly the huge time savings it provides, since you don’t have to mow the lawn yourself every week. In a busy everyday life, where time is a valuable resource, it is an invaluable advantage to be able to free up more hours that can be spent on something else.

In addition, a robotic lawnmower ensures your lawn is always well-groomed, since it can be programmed to mow the grass at fixed times. This not only gives your garden an aesthetically pleasing appearance, but can also improve the health of the grass, since regular mowing promotes denser growth and reduces weeds. Finally, there is the quiet operation, which allows the robotic lawnmower to work without disrupting the calm and silence in your home or disturbing your neighbours.

How does a robotic lawnmower work?

A robotic lawnmower is designed to make life easier for gardeners by automating the lawnmowing process. This smart technology is equipped with a range of features that ensure your lawn remains well maintained with minimal effort on your part. Get an overview of some of the practical details that make a robotic lawnmower a valuable addition to any garden.

Navigation

A robotic lawnmower intelligently navigates around a lawn using preset limits and advanced sensors. These limits, often defined by perimeter wires, control the mower so that it knows where its working area begins and ends. Once in motion, it moves in seemingly random patterns to make sure the entire lawn is cut evenly. The robot will not stop until it reaches the preset limit.

Modern robotic lawnmowers are equipped with collision sensors and other technologies that allow them to avoid obstacles and adapt to the terrain, ensuring efficient and autonomous mowing.

Lawn care

A notable benefit of a robotic lawnmower is that you don’t have to empty it of grass. Unlike traditional lawnmowers, which often require you to manually empty a grass collector, robotic lawnmowers cut the grass into very small pieces that fall between the grass blades and act as natural fertiliser. It contributes to a healthier lawn by returning nutrients to the soil and reducing the need for additional fertiliser.

Independent charging station

Robotic lawnmowers come with their own charging station to which they can independently return when the battery is low. So you don’t have to keep an eye on the battery or steer the lawnmower to the charging station. After full charging, they automatically resume their cutting programme. This ensures that the mower is always ready to operate and can work independently without human intervention. The charging station is usually placed in a discreet location in the garden, where the mower can easily move in and out.

Perimeter wires

To keep the robotic lawnmower within the desired areas of the garden, a perimeter wire is set up that can be dug 2-3 centimetres down into the ground. The perimeter wire should define the lawn and any obstacles the mower must avoid, such as flowerbeds or ponds. The perimeter wire sends a signal to the mower to tell it where to mow and which areas to avoid. This ensures that the mower operates within the set limits and does not drive out on roads or into areas where it should not be.

Choose a robotic lawnmower that fits your garden

Robotic lawnmowers are incredibly versatile and can be used in many different gardens, but there are some limitations when it comes to size and terrain. Small to medium gardens are ideal for most models, while very large gardens may require robotic lawnmowers with higher battery capacity.

Complex terrain with steep slopes or many obstacles can also be a challenge. It is important to choose a model that suits your garden, including in terms of size and terrain. This ensures that the robotic lawnmower can work efficiently and cover the entire area. Our robotic lawnmower is equipped with a gyro, which means it will keep a straight line even when cutting diagonally on a steep hill. Robotic mowers that do not have this will start to turn and move down again.

Protect your robotic lawnmower with a cover

Investing in a cover for your robotic lawnmower is a great way to extend its service life and reduce wear. Whether it’s a tailor-made small house, a garage or a canopy, a cover protects your robotic lawnmower from harsh weather conditions like rain, strong sun, and wind.

This reduces the risk of damage and technical failure, ensuring your robotic lawnmower remains in top shape and ready to use when you need it. A small investment in a cover can therefore save you both time and money in the long run.

Find accessories for your robotic lawnmower

At Biltema you will not only find high-quality robotic lawnmowers, but also all the accessories you need for your new helper. This includes perimeter cables, anchor pins, and extensions that ensure your robotic lawnmower works optimally and efficiently in your garden.

In addition to robotic lawnmowers, Biltema also offers a diverse range of petrol-powered lawnmowers, electric lawnmowers and battery-powered lawnmowers – so regardless of your preferences or garden needs, Biltema has the right equipment to keep your lawn in top shape.

A robotic lawnmower cuts grass to the perfect height, which also stunts weed growth. In other words, buying a robotic lawnmower saves you time and money and keeps your lawn healthy!

In order for you to feel assured in your ownership, we have a dedicated Service Support team for robotic lawnmowers. They have many years of experience in robotic lawnmowers and can provide advice, help and information. They also have a complete range of spare parts at their disposal.

FAQs

How often should a robotic lawnmower run?

It depends on the lawn size and growth rate. It is usually effective to let it run five days a week so that the grass does not have time to grow tall. This ensures a smooth cut and helps keep the lawn healthy and well-groomed.

Is a garage necessary for robotic lawnmowers?

A garage for your robotic lawnmower is not a necessity, but it can be a good investment if you want to protect it from sun, rain, wind, snow, birds and other animals. Good protection can help extend the life of robotic lawnmowers.
