The City models in the Sileno range from Gardena are intended for small gardens. They are all based on the same base, differing only in their connectivity and the area they are capable of mowing: up to 500 m² for the Sileno City 500.
The Sileno City 500 is identical to the Smart Sileno City 500 that we tested, except for connectivity. Without a Wi-Fi connection box, it cannot be configured via an application, but loses none of its qualities. Once configured correctly, this lack of connectivity is no longer really a problem and we can therefore completely forget about this very discreet and easy-to-maintain little mower. A good choice for small lawns.
