GARDENA SILENO city 500 Smart Review

The GARDENA SILENO city 500 Smart Robotic Mower provides a highly effective and advanced means of automatically cutting lawns up to 500 square metres in size. It has an adjustable cutting height and manoeuvres easily up/down slopes with an incline of up to 35%. It efficiently navigates its way around gardens whether they're simple or complex, and cuts down narrow passageways and even in corners. The mower works in both rain and shine.

The mower can be controlled with the GARDENA Smart System App which lets you control it remotely (although there are manual controls too). This App is extremely easy to set up and use, and gives you full access to the mower's features and functions. We like the quiet nature of the machine. It runs at around the 58dB(A) mark. We also like the fact that the mower is easy to clean and is hose-washable.
