Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How do robotic lawn mowers navigate the yard?
They use boundary wires, sensors, or GPS mapping to detect edges, obstacles, and plan efficient mowing paths.

2. Are robotic lawn mowers safe for pets and children?
Yes. They include obstacle sensors and automatic blade shut-off systems for safety when movement is detected.

3. Can a robotic mower handle uneven or sloped lawns?
Premium models can manage slopes up to 35–45%, while basic ones work best on flat lawns.

4. How long does it take to charge and mow?
Charging typically takes 60–120 minutes, with mowing sessions lasting 60–180 minutes depending on the model and battery capacity.

5. Do robotic lawn mowers work in the rain?
Most are weather-resistant, but performance may drop. Many models automatically return to the dock when it starts raining.
