The Sileno Minimo from Gardena maintains up to 250 square metres of lawn. The compact robot does not have a display, but it can be conveniently programmed via Bluetooth and a free smartphone app. In addition to weekly scheduling and various presets, spot cutting is also possible - the small robot mows specific areas of the lawn that have grown irregularly or high on command...

Positive: Rarely needs cleaning. Particularly quiet in operation. Negative: Can only handle flatter slopes up to 25 per cent gradient. Takes a long time for small areas. Adjusting the cutting height is awkward. Hardly programmable without app.
