I allowed the lawn in my front garden to grow to around 60mm, despite having given it the first cut of the season the week before testing the LawnMaster VBRM16. For this, I used the 40mm cutting height but there are five options to choose from between 20mm and 60mm which I thought was more than adequate. Over the years, I have honed my skills in writing informative articles and creating helpful videos for various blogs and publications. This has given me the ability to not only recognise what makes a good lawn mower, but also to help you choose the perfect garden tool for your specific needs and requirements. As long as you take good care of your robotic lawn mower, particularly over the winter months, it should serve you for a very long time. The very best mowers could last between ten and twenty years, although you will probably have to replace parts more frequently than this. The most commonly replaced parts are the batteries which could last between three and six years, and the blades which normally need to be swapped at least once every mowing season.

Model number VBRM16-COMBO The LawnMaster VBRM16 is a robot mower that is simple in its design and operation but doesn’t scrimp on performance. If you’re looking for something that won’t break the bank and will be a cinch to setup and use, then this is a mower I would highly recommend. Main Features However, once it’s done, it’s done and you shouldn’t need to do it again. It’s worth taking your time over, as if properly pinned, the wire will soon sink into your lawn as it grows, which in turn protects it from you cutting through it by accident. If you don’t pin it right, the mower might cut through the wire, and you’ll have to do a patch job or lay it down again. One last thing that’s worth noting is that the battery is sealed into the device, with no obvious way of getting in to remove or replace it.

Robot lawnmowers come at a variety of prices but they all essentially do the same thing – mow your lawn without you having to get involved. If you don’t want to spend a small fortune, the Yard Force EasyMow 260B is a great balance between features and affordability. For collision detection, perhaps to avoid pets and other obstacles that can’t be permanently wired around, the YardForce Compact 400Ri, is better equipped, too.
