Frequently asked questions

No, a growing number of robot mowers work without a boundary wire using GPS/RTK or vision, though wire remains the most proven method. A wire-free model skips installation, provided it has a clear sky view or good vision. Check slope handling, maximum lawn size and no-go zones.

It's better to avoid mowing at night, as small wildlife such as toads and young rabbits can be injured by the blades. Schedule the mower for daytime, or choose a model with obstacle detection and low-risk blades. A PIN code and anti-theft alarm reduce the risk of theft.

Yes, a smart irrigation controller can cut waste by adjusting cycles to the weather, rain or soil moisture. The savings depend on how accurately it's set up and how well it's installed. Check the number of zones, compatibility with your outdoor faucet or valve, and Matter or voice assistant support.

Yes, they need no wiring and work well in a sunny yard, but run time drops in winter, when days are short and panels can be covered in snow. Check battery capacity, panel size, IP rating and whether a motion sensor is included. Smart models need decent Wi-Fi or Zigbee range.

Yes, a pool robot cleans the floor, walls and waterline on its own, but you must empty the filter regularly. Choose by pool shape and size, fine filtration and run time. Cordless models are convenient but need battery charging.
