Not all of the space for robot mowers are equally safe. This is evident from a study by consumer organisation Test-achats. A test shows that two models do not stop when they have a shoe encounter, and simply about the drive with rotating knives.

Test Purchase tried 21 models, and it must be said, the most space for robot mowers come as ‘safe’ from the test. But two space for robot mowers not succeed, and even more: they are dangerous.

Rotating blades

the Stiga M5 (999 euro) and the Ambrogio Next 4.0 basic medium (1.899 euro). The test showed Test-to Purchase the mowers on a lawn drive. They placed a running shoe in a certain place in the garden and guess what? The Stiga and the Ambrogio do not stop when they the shoe encounter, and drive it with rotating knives.

Test Purchase could also find that the blades on those models not equipped with a beschermzone from rubber, however, an important safety feature. The conclusion does not come as a surprise: “Buy the models not”.

The research firm will the FPS Economy also aware of the danger and ask for the models from the market.

Children

Although all the other models in itself is not a security form, it asks Test-achats, however, to be prudent to continue to deal with the space for robot mowers. “Do not let children play in the yard when a mower over the grass to drive, regardless of the model”, it sounds.

From the 21 models the AL-KO Robolinho 500 E (899 euros) with a score of 81 to 100 as best from the test. For those who have less budget, recommends Test-Purchase the Wolf-Garten Loopo S150 (549 euro) or the Robomow RX12 (499 euro).
