Yes indeed! We all dream of no longer having to mow our lawns ourselves, as keeping it healthy and green can sometimes be a time-consuming and even tiring task. In light of this, automated lawn mowers are exactly what we need. Indeed, thanks to this household robot, maintaining our garden will be done automatically; allowing us to allocate our precious time to other activities.
However, in a market flooded with choices, buying a lawn mower can be overwhelming. Therefore, take a look through this post for some tips that aim to explain the advantages of using a robotic mower, as well as the different criteria to consider before making a purchase.

Robotic mower: what are the main advantages?
Also known as: “Mowing Robot”, robotic mowers are practical and autonomous for mowing a lawn. These robotic mowers mow our lawn by themselves without our help and especially at any time since they are programmable. Moreover, they emit very little noise pollution. Thus, we can mow at night or during the day without disturbing those around us. What more could you ask for!
Eco-friendly? Yes, lawn mowers are eco-friendly because they are electric. Indeed, compared to thermal robotic mowers, they do not emit greenhouse gases. This is a good sign for preserving our health. Additionally, in the market for automated robots, particularly on jardibot.fr, you will find mowers equipped with solar panels, more eco-friendly and cost-effective, requiring only sunlight to enhance their autonomy. Finally, one of the valuable and not insignificant advantages of robotic mowers is that they are compact compared to traditional mowers, thus taking up much less space in our car, for example, when it comes to transporting them somewhere. As you can see, the advantages of using a robotic mower are numerous. But once in the store, how do you choose among the many models available?

A few key points to know before buying a lawn mower
The overall area of the mowing zone: a key element to consider
The capabilities of lawn mowers differ according to the tasks we expect from these household robots. Therefore, it is important to ask the following question: “Which mower for which area?” to better guide ourselves. Indeed, the area of the land to be mowed is the first step to consider. We must therefore define the area to be mowed and take into account future lawn arrangements. High-end robotic mowers can cover from 250 m² up to 6,000 m². However, if the land to be mowed is hilly, with slopes, it is important to pay attention to the slope climbing capacity of the robotic mower.
Electric robotic mower with or without wire
Generally, robotic mowers come in two types: a wired robot and another without installation cables. The latter operates through a buried or surface wiring system that will define the mowing perimeter. Furthermore, laying the cables can take a lot of time depending on the garden layout. For this reason, it is recommended to hire a professional for the wired installation unless you are a seasoned DIYer.
A wireless robotic mower represents the most practical solution, as it requires no prior installation. Thanks to its sensors, it can detect obstacles that allow it to work on the lawn and avoid mowing the terrace! This technology makes wireless lawn mowers a bit more expensive.
Consider the “charging station” and “autonomy” options
Do you know why mowers sold with a charging station are more favored than others? Simply because they are completely autonomous. Indeed, thanks to this option, they work on the lawn and return to recharge their battery whenever necessary. Note that it will be up to you to plug it into a socket if the robot does not have a power station. An important point to consider in case of frequent use. Think about the autonomy of the chosen model, as it is a determining criterion for selecting an electric robotic mower. As a tip, base it on the time it takes when you mow your lawn yourself.
