A well-manicured lawn is a fundamental feature of our gardens – but achieving it has long been a thorn in the side of gardeners everywhere. Luckily, there’s an intelligent, smart and, let’s be honest, adorable robot helper that can take all of the grunt work out of lawn care. Forget carrying around a traditional mower to and from your shed or pushing around a heavy piece of machine; a robot mower, such as those in the new Honda Miimo range, cuts the faff and the grass. Get one, and the only time you’ll ever need to set foot on your lawn is when you’re enjoying it.
First things first: what exactly is a robotic lawnmower?
You may have encountered those endearing little robotic vacuum cleaners that bustle merrily around people’s homes. You might even have one. Well, a robotic lawnmower is the grass-grazing equivalent, and with Honda Miimo you’ll have heaps of options. The new range is named for the amount of metres it covers, starting with the HRM 1000 – doing (you guessed it) 1,000 sq metres – right up to the HRM 4000 Live. The live function is available on some models, meaning you can monitor and instruct your robotic mower from your smartphone. In other words? Your days of manual mowing could be numbered.
