Product Information

Any Downsides? The initial investment was quite steep, and setting up the boundary wire around the lawn took effort and precision. It also struggled a bit with very tall grass, so I had to ensure the grass didn’t grow too much between the mows. Lastly, it’s heavily reliant on a stable Wi-Fi connection for the smart features, which was a bit of a hurdle a few times due to connectivity issues in my area. Yes, it’s designed to function in various weather conditions. However, it’s recommended to let it rest during heavy downpours to avoid any potential damage and slippery conditions. What happens if the robotic mower is lifted or tipped over? The weather may have changed for the better after a week of heavy rain — and now the grass is getting out of control. The Override option tells the mower to ignore scheduled commands and to start mowing the lawn. Second Area It navigates your lawn using a perimeter wire that must be laid around the edge, this is quite standard for a mower. However, it’s the addition of a guide wire that helps the mower stand out, this allows it to navigate narrow passages and move between different areas of your lawn with ease. Since inventing the hover mower more than 50 years ago, Flymo has become a market leader in effective and affordable garden care products. Its range now encompasses everything from grass trimmers to robotic lawn mowers. With constant design and technological innovations being at the heart of Flymo, the brand is continually revolutionising its range.

These instructions help users to reach the basic level of mowing. There are more in-depth settings in the user manual.

As you can see, one of the major reasons I would suggest investing in Flymo is this simple and easy use. But there are many other reasons that I think this is a worthy brand. The app uses Bluetooth so you do need to be in range of the device to use it. Plus, there’s no voice control, if smart home integration is key, I recommend the Indi go S+ 3 50 as an alternative which can be used with Alexa.

You can also buy a Flymo’s shelter which goes with the charging base to add extra weather protection. Alternatively, you can see my full list of robot mower garage ideas that you can buy or create yourself. The 1200R comes in a single size covering lawns up to 400 metres squared. As I mentioned earlier, you must choose something that is compatible with the size of your lawn. The EasiLife is an excellent option is for those that are more tech savvy, as configuration of the robotic mower is done using the EasiLife app. There is a wide selection of Flymo EasiLife robotic mowers to suit every conceivable lawn size. They vary from the Flymo EasiLife 200, 350, 500 and 800 – the main difference relates to the size of lawn the machine is programmed to mow each day, therefore if you have a smaller lawn I would recommend the EasiLife 200 since it is designed for lawns up to 200 square metres. Likewise for larger lawns you should consider the larger 350, 500 or 800 models depending on the size of your lawn. If you have multiple lawns, this can be a problem with robot mowers. Unlike the older Flymo 1200R, the Easilife 200 is much better when it comes to second lawns. There is a feature called ‘second area’ which allows you to place the mower on another lawn and leave it to do its thing. However, if you don’t like the idea of anything too techy, you might go for the EasiLife GO which doesn’t have such complex on board controls. Still, you won’t miss out on any of the other features, as everything else is largely the same.EasiLife robotic lawn mowers have greater flexibility than with competitor robotic lawnmowers and can even fit into corners. Just remember to keep a minimum of 2m / 6.6 ft. of free space in front of the charging station. Keep a minimum of 0.3 m / 1 ft. of free space to the right and left of the centre of the charging station. Q. How Do I Install the Boundary Wire? Having looked at the massive range of features on all 3 Flymo robotic mower categories, it’s easy to see that they’re all what one would consider ‘good.’ However, it really depends on what you need from your robotic lawn mower as to which one is right for you. I’ve said many times about what a great brand Flymo is and even without my opinion, it’s one of the most well-known so you know you can trust it. But you’re probably used to working with Flymo’s range of hover mowers, since that’s what made the company rise to fame. Flymo have include a feature they call Spot Cut, where the user can lift the mower to an area that needs more attention and then choose this mode. Spot cutting directs the mower to move in a spiral pattern out from the overgrown spot before it reverts to normal mode. Override Designed for gardens up to 500 square metres, the Flymo EasiLife Go 500 is a fully automatic robotic lawn mower that gives you a tidy lawn with zero effort. Set a schedule in seconds and the mower automatically cuts the lawn returning to the charge station when needed.
