A Perfect Lawn Everyday With No Effort! Just ask Charlie Dimmock!
Because MowBot can be programmed to mow your lawn a lot more frequently than you would manually, your lawn will look better than ever.
The perfectly cut lawn every day really is achievable with MowBot. Your ideal height of cut is permanently maintained by MowBot, which is continuously nipping out to give your lawn a trim.
Having your lawn trimmed just a little a few times a week is a much more healthy method of mowing your lawn. Manually cutting it every so often can sometimes stress the grass by cutting it back too far, too quickly.
How does MowBot know where to mow?
Before you set MowBot off to work you will need to lay the border wire. This simple one-off installation defines MowBot's work area.
The MowBot will then work freely within the area defined by the wire, sensing its proximity to the edge of the lawn and any obstacles. For obstacles such as trees, walls and sheds MowBot will sense when it bumps into them and promptly turn around and mow in the opposite direction.
MowBot really does look after itself
With any electric cordless product the first question you ask is 'How often and for how long will I have to recharge it?' We believe for a robot to be truly automatic then it should take care of recharging it's own batteries and MowBot does exactly that.
Once you've programmed how often you would like MowBot to mow, there's no need to do anything else. MowBot will leave it's charging bay (which you can hide under a bush or a tree) at the correct time, mow your lawn and when it feels it's batteries are getting run down it will make it's way back to it's home to recharge.
Safety Systems
If MowBot is accidentally lifted up or turned over, the blade will stop automatically to avoid any injuries to family or pets. If the border wire is accidentally cut or broken MowBot will automatically stop and display a warning on it’s control panel. MowBot will work safely on lawns that have gradients up to 27° without losing either speed or power and without the risk of turning over. If you are worried about children playing with the control panel a pin number can be entered to prevent access, this will also deter theft. The whole unit including the control panel is waterproof allowing MowBot to operate in all weather conditions safely.

Frequently asked Questions
Q: Is it safe?
A: Treat it like a traditional mower & don't forget the blade is very sharp. Make sure your garden is clear of any items lower than 15cm.
Q: What happens if there is a power cut?
A: MowBot will instantly stop, as soon as the power returns it will continue to cut your lawn
Q: My garden is hilly. Will MowBot cope with the slopes?
A: Yes. MowBot will work safely on lawns that have gradients as steep as 27 degrees without losing speed or power and without the risk of turning over.
Q: How long does it take to charge the batteries?
A: Around 2-3 hours and because MowBot looks after the recharging itself you won't even notice!
Q: How long will it take to mow my lawn?
A: The Professional MowBot cuts 125sq/m an hour and the Standard cuts 25sq/m an hour. MowBot cuts your lawn on a continual basis, popping out each day to keep your lawn in check. This is unlike conventional mowing where you wait until you lawn looks untidy first!
Q: Does MowBot work well in long grass?
A: MowBot is designed to keep your lawn at the idea height. It may be preferred to cut your lawn before you install MowBot to get the best results.
Q: How long do the batteries last for?
A: The Pro last for 2-3 hours and the Standard lasts for 1-1.5 hours. The batteries life should last for over two years, on average if charged regularly.
Q: Can MowBot work in the rain?
A: Yes, all of the electronics are sealed in a waterproof compartment. But just like traditional mowers best results are achieved in the dry. As MowBot mulches wet grass can clump together and MowBot may leave temporary tracks in the grass. If this is a concern an optional rain sensor (Deluxe model comes complete) can be fitted so that MowBot returns home if it starts to rain.
Q: I have a physical disability, would you recommend the MowBot?
A: Yes, MowBot is an ideal solution for you. MowBot removes all the pushing, walking and bending that traditional mowing involves. All you need to do is enjoy your perfectly cut lawn.
Q: Is the height of cut adjustable?
A: Yes, the blade can be moved up and down to achieved the length of grass that you prefer.
Q: Is the perimeter cable safe having an electric current running through it?
A: Yes, the cable only has a weak electric current which the MowBot uses to define it's work area.
Q: Is it just a gimmick or the latest gadget?
A: It is a true solution to a problem. 15 years ago people thought that dishwashers were a gimmick and they are now considered an essential kitchen appliance by many households.
Q: Can I bury the perimeter cable?
A: Yes, up to 40cm deep. It is recommended to start by pegging it to the surface first so that minor adjustment can be made easily, then when you are happy you can bury it. If you peg the wire flush to the surface you will find that after a while the grass roots will grow over the wire anyway.
Q: What about my lawn edges?
A: When MowBot returns home it follows the perimeter cable around the edge of your lawn. With some fine adjustments of the cable, MowBot will mow right up to the edge.
Q: Does MowBot have a guarantee?
A: One year from the date you purchased it.
Q: How does it know how to cut?
A: MowBot's onboard sensors can detect the frequency of the electric current passing through the perimeter cable so that it always knows where in your lawn it is.
Q: Is it safe?
A: MowBot is CE approved and will cut out if it lifted or turns over. You still need to treat it with care just like any traditional mower. It's blade is very sharp!
Q: What is the width of cut?
A: 30cm, but as it does all the work for you it is not as important as it is for traditional mowers.
No mess & no bags of grass cuttings
Two sealed batteries power MowBot, so there's no petrol or oil to mess with. Power consumption is extremely modest, using three highly efficient electric motors to power the wheels and the eight blade cutting disc.
What's more, you won't have to worry about collecting and bagging grass cuttings any more. MowBot is a mulching lawnmower, which means the grass cuttings are cut and re-cut, then blown back deep into the grass roots which returns nutrients straight back to your lawn.
