The Flymo 1200 R Robot Mower Features

Below are some of the features of the 1200R to have a look at, it covers all of the basics well. If you have an average size lawn then read on.

Irregular Mowing Pattern

The sensors on the 1200R along with the boundary wire create a map of the lawn so that every little bit of the lawn is cut. The robot then proceeds to cut the lawn in a random pattern which mean it doesn’t leave any tyre grooves that a normal mower would. This gives you the perfect flat finish to your lawn.

Quiet Mowing

The electric motor on the Flymo 1200R robot mower is a quiet electric motor that will mow the whole lawn without creating hardly any noise. It is so quiet that you can let it run while you are asleep and it won’t wake you up! Choose a program that suits and relax in peace and quiet without the drone of a petrol motor in the back ground.

Programmable Schedule

you can choose your cut times and days with the easy to use programmable schedule. The easy to use screen on the robot mower itself allows you to quickly set it up to the schedule so that you can ensure the lawn is cut when you are not using it. The regularity of the cutting is up to you and can be done every day if you require.

No Grass Clippings

The grass clipping are cut into a fine dust by the blades that falls down between the blades of grass and settles on the ground. As the R1200 cuts the lawn so regularly it will only have tiny bits if grass to cut up. The additional benefit of this is that it will fertilise your lawn giving you a very green and healthy lawn after a while of using.

Adjustable Cut Height

You can adjust the length of your grass by turning an easy to use knob on the unit to alter the cutting height between 2cm and 5cm. When the mower is new it is often good to start off at the longest setting and gradually work down to the height you require.

The Motor And Battery

The electric motor and lithium ion 18v battery power the blades to give you a crisp and good quality cut to the lawn. It will cut for about an hour before retreating to the charge station for a re charge which takes about 75 minutes. Once it is recharged it will take itself back out and carry on mowing where it left off.
