Hello everyone,
As mentioned above, we want to get a robotic lawn mower to start the spring season.
Which ones do you use, recommend, or avoid, and why?
Does it have to be a Husqvarna, or is a Worx also good enough? Why one and not the other?
I’m very interested in hearing about your experiences.
Best regards
Tarnari

A mechanical reel mower only makes sense for small areas. The ground should be very even, and there should be no foreign objects on the lawn. Maintenance effort is also higher compared to a rotary mower.I saw that you have an electric one. Do you still have any (non) recommendation for a mechanical mower for exactly this use case: flat terrain and a small lawn?

Both with modified cutter plates, each equipped with 9 fixed C-blades from Testrud, available at Pfennigpfeiffer.Did you build those yourself? Nine blades are quite a lot 😀I am currently researching the topic of robotic lawn mowers.
Here is the starting situation:
The plot is 950 sqm (10,225 sq ft) on a slope, with a lawn area of about 500–600 sqm (5,382–6,458 sq ft), surrounding the house (which is situated in the middle of the property).
This means the robot needs to mow uphill past the house, continue behind the house, then come down the other side and keep mowing there. The steepest section has an incline of about 30 degrees.
So far, I am considering the Husqvarna 430X or Gardena Sileno+.
The plot is well established (the house was extensively renovated), and we are carrying out small to medium landscaping changes.
My basic plan was to have the lawn completely redone after finishing all the major landscaping work (it is currently very uneven and overgrown with weeds). At the same time, I would like to install irrigation and lay cables for the robotic mower.
However, since this will probably take more than five years, I am now torn about how to handle the existing lawn. Because some areas that were previously paved are now grass, I need to reseed. I thought, why not buy the robotic mower now and save time mowing over the next five years? Or would it be disproportionately complicated to lay the search and boundary wires twice, making it better to continue mowing with my petrol mower until then?
