GARDENA SILENO Life 1250 Review

The GARDENA SILENO Life 1250 Robotic Lawn Mower is a well designed, advanced and extremely easy to use machine which automatically cuts lawns up to 1250 square metres in size. It tackles simple and complex lawns, cutting through tight passageways, corners and on gradients with inclines of up to 35% with ease. It boasts a height-adjustable blade (between 20mm and 50mm) and produces a neat, tidy and streak-free finish.

There are two ways of controlling the mower: either with the on-board control panel which feeds back information to you on its LCD screen, or with the Bluetooth App control. The App is easy to install, simple to use and controls the mower from a distance of up to 10 metres away. We like the quiet nature of the mower. It runs at about 58dB(A). We also like the fact that you can easily clean it by washing the underside with a garden hose.
