LawnMaster OcuMow® 16 Drop and Mow Robot Lawnmower & Cordless Grass Trimmer with 2x MX 24V lithium batteries and fast charger. No Boundary Wire, App or Outdoor Socket needed. For lawns up to 300m2

Highly recommended ⭐️ a fabulous, affordable robotic mower, anyone can use this, there's no complicated setup, no need to update software and no need to install a boundary wire. It's a great piece of kit.The battery ( which is quick to charge ) is charged using a power socket in the home and you can then drop the mower onto the lawn and let it work its magic. It's that simple.Affordable & excellent value for money.

I bought this a while ago and thought I would test it out before revewing. One of the best purchases I have made and definitely value for money. It's very easy to use, very quiet so mowing the lawn on a Sunday morning doen't disturb the neighbours! No more grass cuttings to dispose of! Make sure the grass is short by giving it a conventional mow a few days before as it doesn't seem to like long grass. After that, I use it about twice a week to keep the lawn looking short and neat. It takes about 3 hours to cut a small lawn and looks like it is moving randomly but the end effect is brilliant. It does recognise all but one edge in my garden. This is in the front on an open driveway, no garden walls. I had to retrieve it when it veered off down the pavement! I overcame this by putting a few spare house bricks in its path and this did the job. I have confidence in it now that it won't go wandering and feel more relaxed about just leaving it to do it's job instead of watching over it. I do still have to occasionally strim the edges as it leaves about 15cm uncut. A couple of my neighbours are impressed with the results and how effortless it looks to keep a lovely neat lawn and now intend to buy one!

The media could not be loaded. Starting with things to remember. Starting not intuitive: 1 Press on til bleep, wait a longish while til lights stop flashing, press random ( forgot this!) Then press on! 2 Watch it for the whole of first mow. After an hour of perfect function got bored and went off for G&T anf came back about an hour later. Cut completed but poor Henry had got stuck and dug a hole trying to get free (see photo). The excellent instruction video we found says ' don't worry' just put some 6cm canes in at 10 cm intervals and Henry's parking sensors will pick them up. The great advantage is no guide wire needed (these were reported in other reviews as being vulnerable and taking a day to put down, join if broken). And no need to have a lawnside power supply for a charging garage. Unless you plan not to live in your house its not necessary. With Henry you charge the battery indoors in 1 hr) and keep him in any small dry space. Suggest cutting the lawn with your old mower first removing grass cuttings, and then put Henry to work at 20mm regularly. The grass cuttings are so fine you cant see them and act as mulch giving a fine looking lawn (they say!). Finally, although he freaked out our 2 dogs into a frenzy of barking, he is nearly silent, so as long as they cant see him (gate covered over) no barking! The getting stuck bit means the rotating blades are on the ground and deactivated even tho wheels continue to attempt rescue. Says they turn off completely after 20 mins of stuckness. As you can see from the video Henry pauses from time to time in the cut. This is because he comes across a patch of brown grass and his green grass seeking eye has to check with his ultrasonic sensors that he hasnt reached the edge. Then on he goes. I watched the random cut to see if I could detect a programmed pattern or memory to help him complete the job, but he's clever, but not that bright! Still he is already a treasured family member and at a very reasonable price. Oh and dont forget to wipe his bottom.

Bought this mainly as a test, there are many that are much more expensive on the market but this one was highly rated and relatively inexpensive. I was in & out of hospital, my wife was away for a month and the grass wouldn't slow down. The lawn wasn't 100% suitable at first - would sometimes fall off the edge into a border - so I had to keep a watch on it (which was much easier than getting the lawnmower out & cutting it myself!).Started out using the mower in "Spot-Cut" mode, thinking that would be easy, but after a few minutes it seems to get bored going round in circles so just hares off in whatever direction it pleases. This meant I had to chase off after it before it did a lemming & dive over the lawn edge. Shame 'cos an ever increasing circle would have eventually got the whole lawn cut in few tries.Now we have installed an edge border (which is, incidentally, what the manufacturer recommends in the handbook) and everything is great! Takes 2 batteries to do my lawn and it's almost perfect - quite fun to watch, but frustrating due to its random rambling nature, seeming to prefer parts of the lawn that it has already done. Sometimes it is heading straight for one little missed clump of grass but then annoyingly stops for no apparent reason and heads off another way! Also gets confused occasionally by strong shadows. All in all quite a character bumbling around the garden.I liked the idea of not needing a buried wire guide or "garage charging station" and now we have a miniature border fence it proves that you don't need one (lawn looks much better with the fencing and the hedgehogs are still turning up most nights). Other wildlife not bothered at all and the birds seem to be fascinated by this little orange trundler. It makes only the slightest buzzing as it wombles merrily on its way.An extremely good and useful purchase - as long as it will have a long life ahead. I'd highly recommend this little machine - even as just a means of easing the grass-cutting task. There are 2 sets of blades supplied with it (shame they can't easily be sharpened - and be careful as they are razor sharp when new), so I ordered spares from the agent: very quick & efficient service, inexpensive and with free postage - what's not to like? Brilliant and thank you for the machine - lifesaver!
