What to do if your robotic lawn mower is slower than advertised
Robotic lawn mowers, such as the LANDXCAPE LX850, are designed to make lawn maintenance easier. However, there may be times when their performance falls short of expectations. Here are some steps to follow if your robotic mower is operating more slowly than expected.
Check the product specifications
Battery capacity
The LANDXCAPE LX850 is equipped with a battery designed to cover up to 300 m². If your garden is larger, the mower may slow down due to the additional load. Make sure the area of your lawn matches the capabilities of your device.
Cutting height
This model offers an adjustable cutting height between 3 and 5 centimeters. A cutting height that is too low can increase resistance and slow down the mower. Adjust the cutting height according to the density of your grass.
Inspect the condition of the blades
The LANDXCAPE LX850 uses a 3-blade cutting/mulching system. Dull or damaged blades can reduce mowing efficiency and slow down the device. Regularly check the condition of the blades and replace them if necessary.
Clean the robot and the mowing area
Cleaning the robot
Accumulated debris under the robot can hinder its operation. Regularly clean the underside of the device to remove grass clippings and other residues.
Preparing the lawn
Ensure that your lawn is free of obstacles such as branches, toys, or stones. These items can slow down the robot or cause unexpected stops.
Check the sensors and settings
Safety sensors
The LANDXCAPE LX850 is equipped with lift and tilt sensors for safety. If these sensors are obstructed or malfunctioning, they can slow down or stop the robot. Clean the sensors and make sure they are functioning properly.
Programming settings
This model features a digital display for adjusting and programming the PIN code. Check that the mowing settings are correctly configured and suitable for your lawn.
Consult customer service or a professional
If, after following these steps, your lawn mower robot continues to operate slower than expected, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer's customer service or a qualified professional for a thorough diagnosis.
By following these tips, you can optimize the performance of your lawn mower robot and fully enjoy its features.
