How you can do your bit for the environment with a robot mower
A Worx Landroid will not only be kinder to your back, but it will be kinder to the planet, too
Written by Hayley Shedden
Over the coming summer months, mowing the lawn will no doubt be one of your main jobs when it comes to the garden. And naturally, you’ll want to do as good a job of it as possible, so it may be worth thinking about getting a new lawnmower, if your old one is getting on a bit. But instead of going down the conventional route, have you considered trying a robotic mower?
The garden tool expert Worx has a selection of Landroid robotic mowers that will revolutionise the way you garden. These mowers are so clever they can adapt to the size and shape of your lawn, as well as the growth rate of your grass, and they feature built-in technology that makes them far more efficient than traditional lawn mowers.
You can even customise your Landroid with additional features such as Voice Control and an Anti-collision system for the ultimate mowing experience. Plus, because they’re part of Worx’s PowerShare range, you can swap the battery between other tools from the range for maximum convenience.
Unsurprisingly, these innovative mowers offer a number of benefits to both you and the environment. Read on to discover just some of them...
- One of the biggest benefits of a robot mower is also the most obvious – you won’t ever have to break your back mowing the lawn again. This frees you up to do all the other jobs in the garden that you often don’t have time to get around to.
- Robot mowers will cut your grass up to five days a week – even while you’re on holiday (you can control your Landroid from anywhere in the world with the Worx app), which means it will always be perfect. Not only that, but regular cutting will help prevent weeds and improve the condition of your lawn, eliminating the need for weed killer or other chemical treatments.
- You can programme the mower to cut the grass whenever you want; it’s so quiet, you could even run it at night, should you want to.
- Because robot mowers are battery powered, there are no emissions or petrol fumes, which makes them a good way to reduce your household’s carbon footprint. In fact, to date, Worx Landroid battery-powered robot mowers have saved customers more than £11m worth of fuel, which is the equivalent of 1,300 cars being taken off the road.
- With such frequent cutting, only tiny offcuts of grass are produced. As a result, these cuttings are so small they can easily drop down between the blades of grass and get to work fertilising the lawn, which allows the nitrogen contained in the cuttings to be recycled, and in turn reduces the need for artificial fertilisers.
Convinced yet, or are you still looking for a catch? There is, of course, some set-up required with the Worx Landroid robot mower, but it will only take a couple of hours. A perimeter wire will need to be laid around your garden and the docking station connected to power, then after that, you can look forward to simply sitting back and letting your device do all the hard work.
