And to alter the time of day the mower starts you have to turn the mower off and then on again at the time you want it to start. As you may have realised, robot mowers have a “maximum lawn size that they can cut without having to continually recharge,” says Geoff and Jill. Utilising a 30cm cutting width and a 1000w electric motor, this lawnmower has been created to take care of your . If, like us, you have one of these “island” lawns, and the mower tries to follow the boundary wire into it, it will get stuck at the narrow entrance.

They can be cleaned and sharpened but replacement is simple and quick and the spares are not expensive. You get a wire stripper included but it was still a little fiddly, but it's pretty much the same for most robot lawn mowers.The L10 uses a single boundary wire to both mark its territory and find its way (anti-clockwise) back to the base station.

And just to make sure it got a good workout I left my lawn to grow for at least three weeks before giving the mower its first run out.

You will need to hit the Stop button to stop mowing and hit the Home button to send it back to base and ready to recharge.

It can be left out in the open but I built a simple wooden 'garage' for it with plastic grass over the top and sides so that it blends in with the lawn and vegetation quite well. In terms of the battery, this can be easily accessed should it need to be replaced at any point in the future.

There’s a certain set-and-forget elegance to the LawnMaster L10 and, if you don’t want an app to fiddle with or are installing it for someone else, its simplicity is a significant benefit.This is hard to explain without diagrams, but those of you with such an island second lawn will understand what I mean. And, if it hits an obstacle it has bump collision detection, which means it simply reverses and carries on. The LawnMaster L10 has a standard setup, which involves pegging the perimeter wire out around the area in which you want the mower to operate and connecting its two ends to the base station, which in turn needs plugging into an outdoor power socket.
