McCulloch ROB S400 Review

The McCulloch ROB S400 Robotic Lawn Mower is an easy to use, convenient and multi-functional machine which cuts lawns up to 400 square metres in size with a 16cm cutting width and a variable cutting height between 20mm and 50mm. It can handle gradients of up to 35% and runs for approximately 60 minutes on a full charge. It's extremely easy to set up with the wizard which takes you through the initial set-up step by step.

Operating the machine is straightforward. It has on-board controls and numerous programs such as Power-Cut, Spot-Cut and Secondary Area. It also has Lawn Shield functionality which changes the cutting path to reduce lawn wear. We like how grass trimmings are cut up finely and then returned to your lawn as a mulch to promote healthier and greener grass. The mower is secure thanks to its security PIN alarm.
