Good deal – The Robomow RK1000 “5 star” lawn mower at €1,297.69

The Robomow RK1000 robot lawn mower is intended for medium-sized gardens (up to 1000 m²). This model with razor blades intends to distinguish itself from the competition by its ability to cut grass up to 5 cm from a low wall.

Simple to set up, the Robomow RK1000 is certainly a very good robot mower, capable of ensuring quality mowing in a very efficient way. Its ability to walk along walls is a real plus for land with low walls. However, we regret that it cannot be cleaned more simply and that the choice of Bluetooth somewhat limits the use of connected functionalities.

Strong points

• Easy to install and use.
• Sharp and easy to change blades.
• Large color touch screen.
• Cut 5 cm from the walls.
• Good management of obstacles.
• Multi-zone management.
• Accessible battery (repairability index: 8).
• Full smartphone app.

Weak points

• Imposing.
• No grass growth sensor.
• Cannot be cleaned with a water jet.
• Bluetooth connectivity only.

Alternatively

The Sileno City 300 is identical to the Smart Sileno City 500 we tested, apart from connectivity. It is also electronically restricted, so it can only mow up to 300 m² of lawn. Without a Wi-Fi connection box, it cannot be configured via an application either, but does not lose any of its qualities. Once configured correctly, this lack of connectivity is no longer really one and we can therefore completely forget about this small, very discreet and easy-to-maintain mower. A good choice for small lawns. We will turn to the Sileno City 500 if the area to be mowed exceeds 300 m².
