The answers to your robot mower FAQ

The best part about your Ambrogio Robot is that it doesn’t require any intervention or help from you. Your robot mower will maintain your lawn independently and automatically. These work cycles can be programmed to occur at regular intervals and will alternate cutting cycles automatically with your robot mower’s recharging needs.

When the batteries of your Ambrogio Robot need to be recharged, it will give out a warning and independently return to its recharging base.

Not at all. Your Ambrogio Robot cuts just a few millimetres of your grass every day for a lawn that will always look freshly mown. These clippings are left in the wake of your robot mower to become a natural fertiliser for your lawn and improve your lawn health over time.

Your Ambrogio Robot operates within boundaries marked by wires. These boundary wires will generally be positioned around the edges of your lawn and clearly demarcate the areas you want your robot mower to maintain. The wire can be buried so it does not affect the way your lawn looks or fixed to the ground using plastic nails. The start and end of the wire will reconnect at the recharging base, which is in turn, connected to a power outlet.

Your Ambrogio Robot has been designed to work at an ambient temperature of -10°C to +50°C. This temperature range is much wider than the growth rate of your grass.

Your Ambrogio Robot can continue to maintain your lawn while it rains. To prevent your robot from getting dirty though, we recommend switching on the rain sensors. Cutting wet grass can damage your lawn, so activating these sensors will return your robot to its recharging base until the next work cycle. To learn more about this setting, refer to the section named ‘Programming mode’ under ‘Settings’ in your operating manual.

If there are areas in your lawn you don’t want your Ambrogio Robot to collide with, all you need to do is surround the areas with boundary wire. Refer to the section named, ‘Preparation and marking the boundaries of the work areas’ for in-depth instructions. Your robot mower will approach the edge of your wire and then move in a different direction. 

Your Ambrogio Robot can recognise objects that are over 10cm in height. It will approach and gently make contact with the object to cut the surrounding grass. Your robot mower will then continue in a different direction, it cannot be damaged by objects nor will it damage objects.

The electricity costs your Ambrogio Robot will incur for the maintenance of a medium-sized lawn will add up to a little over $3 a month. This is much less than the fuel costs of a petrol-driven lawn mower.

All your Ambrogio Robots are designed with safety in mind at all times. The safety of your pets can be assured with the Amico micro device. All you need to do is attach the device to your medium or large animal collars. If you have a pet tortoise or any other similar animal, the device can be attached to its back. The device maintains a dialogue with your Ambrogio Robot and shuts down the blades when it is near your animals.
