GARDENA 15201-20 SILENO Minimo - Automatic Robotic Lawn Mower with Bluetooth app, Boundary Wire - for lawns up to 2700 Sq Ft, Made in Europe, Grey

I have a bad knee, anything that saves me from the weekly chore's gets extra bonus point from me. That being said this thing does do a great job. Install is a bit annoying (again bad knee) bending over and hammering in the wire. but once its setup i just loved to sit on the porch and watch the thing. Ran it for 2 hours 3x per week and the lawn always looked perfect. Got stuck maybe 4x the whole summer, had to go out and jostle it loose from a little divot in the lawn or something but for the time and sweat it saved me its well worth it. Blades are easy to change, seem to last plenty long. order a set of like 30 for 10$ and i bet a set would last me a whole season if i pushed it. 5 minutes to change them no reason not to every couple months. I do wish it used wifi so i could control it from anywhere, seems to only be bluetooth in the proximity of it. Also wish it would try and restart itself after a time when getting stuck, few times it did get stuck it was seemingly nothing just a slight bump in the lawn. if it would have tried to go again no doubt it would have been fine. Will see how it holds up. Will report back when it has any issue.

Not Reliable if you travel. You will have to pick up and bring back your it’s home often. It’s cuts really well and have had no issues w the battery. The boundary wire placement is an effort. If you can spend the extra dollars never get anything with a boundary wire again. My biggest regret. It runs well for a few days and I’m in love. Then I have to go out and bring it back. Either a boundary wire issue or can’t detect the wire or buggy software on app or it’s mows past an hour I scheduled and runs out of battery or it can’t find its way back often or on and on.

I live in Waimea on the Big Island of Hawaii and have a Kikuiyu yard. This thing is surprisingly really good. It’s definitely worth the money but you’ll have to put in some work to get it setup properly so that it doesn’t require too much maintenance. I’d recommend burying the boundary wire and the guide wire after a few weeks. I just used an edger to make a cut in the grass then push the wire into the kerf. You might want to lay it on the ground at first to find out how the mower cuts before burying it. I found that you don’t need a boundary wire around most obstacles like a kids play set and swings. The mower will just bump into walls and obstacles then just change direction and keep cutting. I found it cuts closer to walls if the wire is right up against them. You might want to stay about 3 inches away from concrete slabs and driveways so it cuts closer to the edge but not right on the edge in case you want to use an edger. Also when I got the mower it had a security pass code on it already and I almost returned the thing because resetting the code requires an old style usb and a computer. But I luckily guessed the code and it started working. The code I guessed was up, left, down, right, then hit the check mark in the middle. Just counter clockwise from the top. Usually during setup you set the code but for some reason it already had one.

I'm definitely happy with this purchase. I know, left to my own devices, my lawn would soon be a jungle. I am a fabulous unicorn. Fabulous unicorns do not do ... "Mowing". So enters "Bob Villa" my robot friend. The video is his inaugural run in my yard. It's a little overgrown because we've had sunshine and rain like our town is gunning to be the next rainforest (listen to the birds lol). So Bob has his work cut out for him. He can handle up to a 25% slope, so things like the rock he encountered in my yard the he can go over, but drags belly on, need to be marked off. Pros: little guy had decent movement power and obstacle solving abilities. There's also the ability to have the little dude start at a point and spiral out if the jagged pattern doesn't work for you. Charged fairly quickly. He does handle uneven ground fairly well as long as it's not too uneven. Then he will eventually try from another angle Cons: you REALLY Have to put the pins on the boundary cord every 2.5 or so feet to keep little guy from getting tangled. He's fairly low to the ground, so this is VERY important. Also, super important, look about halfway on my video, there's a big rock. It's low enough for him to not consider an obstacle, so he sparked out and got stuck on it. So there's a learning curve If you have a lawn area with a lot of roots, you may want to exclude that from his mowing area. He tries, but his clearance leaves a little to be desired unless you already have a perfect lawn and just want it maintained. I will probably update as he gets to more of the lawn and we work out all of the things that he has trouble with.

So wow. I have a roborock and the LiDAR and video processing sold me. It does great. The house is more dynamic and flexible. But roborock saves me time. This robot is equally good. Not as sophisticated but does not need to be. Putting the boundry wire down was easy. The guide wire was also clean. My lawn is small and not sloped. The first time it almost fell off my retaining wall so I moved it to 12 inches away from boundary instead of 13. All good. Runs every other night. Saved me at least a hundred bucks a month with my mow and blow guys as they don’t have to drag their mower in. So far so good. It’s simple but the job is simple.

I was very happy to buy it used almost new but there is a PIN from the 1st owner and it was impossible to get it. I called Amazon, I called Gardena to recover it, I stayed hours on the phone, they sent me an email to confirm what I was asking and nothing! I called again talk with someone else but they were not able to help me, Gardena has a bad customer service. I returned the robot, too complicated and too long! Be aware if it’s used you might not have the PIN…..

A distanza di un mese dall'acquisto e installazione posso dire che il robot lavora egregiamente. La fatica fatta per la sistemazione del cavo perimetrale e del cavo guida (li ho interrati perchè non mi piace vedere i cavi esterni) è stata tanta, ma riuscire ad avere i fine settimana liberi con il prato sempre in ordine non ha prezzo. Prima di iniziare l'installazione, ho studiato il manuale e visionato i video dal sito web della Gardena per essere sicuro di non sbagliare nulla. Infatti, tutto è andato per il meglio. La preparazione ha richiesto un intero giorno di lavoro (interramento del cavo, passaggio dei fili elettrici per l'alimentazione della base, installazione della base, programmazione del robot). Non si ferma e non si blocca neanche attraversando una zona pavimentata non perfettamente piana perchè fatta con pietre appoggiate sul prato. La connessione bluetooth funziona benissimo e l'applicazione permette di programmare il robot senza dover agire fisicamente sullo stesso. Lo ricomprerei senza alcuna esitazione.

Wir haben uns dieses Gerät zugelegt, und sind wirklich begeistert, so leise hatten wir uns das wirklich nicht vorgestellt, man hört fast nichts, den kann man Nachts, und auch Sonntags laufen lassen, einfach nur Genial. Die Verlegung der Kabel war wirklich einfach, erst einen geeigneten Platz für den Kleinen finden, und dann die Kabel, kanpp 130 Meter über den Raser verlegt, super einfach, an die Ladestation anschliessen, und fertig, Super. Unser Hasenhäuschen, sowie unseren Brunnen haben wir mit einer Schleife ausgeklammert, und was soll ich sagen, es funktioniert ohne Probleme, das ausklammern unserer Wäschespinne haben wir gelassen, und uns selber am Robos etwas gebastelt, eine Kniematte, siehe Foto längs geschnitten, und an die vordere Seite des Robos geklebt, nun kann er auch an die Wäschespinnt fahren, ohne Kratzer an seinem Gehäuse zu bekommen, einfach, aber, es funktioniert. Alles in allem ein seht gutes Produkt, der Preis geht vollkommen in Ordnung, ich könnte dem Kollegen Stundenlang bei der Arbeit zusehen, nun warten wir nur noch auf die Kostenlose Garage die angeküngigt wurde, mal sehen, wann die geliefert wird.

Ett mycket bra pris på produkten här jämfört med andra ställen. Lättmanövrerad, fantastiskt bra att den tål att bli avsköljd med trädgårdsslangen. Supernöjd!

A montagem é um pouco morosa. Tudo funciona bem. Testei todas as funcionalidades. Tudo de acordo com as especificações. Muito bom.

Nachdem ich einen Worx Landroid WR 167 für 700 m2 hatte war ich skeptisch. Der hatte sich immer festgefahren und irgendwann fuhr er nur noch Rechts herum. Also zurückgeschickt und den Gardena bestellt. Aber nur die Version Sileno City 600 m2 mit Bluetooth. Mir egal, wenn ich auf Hawai bin 😚 ist mir egal was mein Mäher macht. Also nach Erhalt (2 Tage) ab in den Garten. Noch mal alles mit dem Handmäher gemäht und dann Installation. Leider hat das Gerät nicht nur einen Begrenzungsdraht, nein er hat auch einen Führungsdraht der durch die Mitte gelegt werden muss. Aber das war alles in ca. 2 Stunden erledigt. Anschließen und los. Siehe da, er fährt, Bergauf und Bergab. Er fährt nicht mehr über den Begrenzungsdraht als eingestellt und er fährt sich jetzt den 4 Tag noch nicht fest. Das Mäh Ergebnis ist sehr gut und er hält seinen Zeitplan ein. Was schön ist : Er fährt 1,5 Stunden und lädt dann ca. 50 Minuten um dann noch mal ca. 1 Stunde bis die geplante Zeit abgelaufen ist. Das Gerät findet immer wieder zurück zur Ladestation , auch wenn mal ein Hindernis im Weg ist. Da unser Grundstück eine Passage als ca. 2 m Korridor hat ( sprich von einem Feld zu, anderen eine enge Durchfahrt ) musste ich in der App die Gartenabdeckung für Bereich 1 auf 85% stellen, der Standardbereich hat dann nur noch 15% aber bis jetzt eine gute Einstellung. Ergo: Das Gerät ist Super und selbst die teilweise 25% Steigung bewältigt er wirklich Gut. Den Worx konnte ich immer an der tiefsten Stelle unseres Grundstücks retten, das ist nicht mehr nötig , der Gardena findet immer zurück und verteilt seine Arbeit über den gesamten Rasen. Ich kann den Gardena absolut empfehlen, auch wenn man keinen perfekten Rasen hat sondern viel Unebenheit und Beikräuter( Unkraut 😁) .
