We have a small’ish lawn that I’m fed up having to maintain so have bought the above. But scratching my head, looked at the videos etc. and it doesn’t feel as though it’s making my life easy!😬

3 sides of the lawn have a brick wall so thinking I don’t need to put a boundary wire there. It’s the guide wire and the boundary wire confusing me. Plus, planning to put it at the back of the lawn (furthest point), although the socket is attached to the wall of the house so will have to be creative and think I can recess it between the patio paving slabs immediately outside the house and put a boundary wire to stop it coming off the lawn area as it’s slightly raised to the patio.

Any clue?

Don’t know why they’ve made it so complicated with guide wires, boundary wires etc. when it’s all from the same spool of wire!

I do feel to persevere though as from reviews for those who have cracked it, seems worth it in the end.

Any help greatly appreciated.

OH did ours and I didn’t really understand it! I would put a boundary wire all the way around the edge or else it’ll be banging in to walls. I think the guide wire is usually in the centre to help guide it round the garden.

DH did ours so can't really help but it's def worth it! I think you just need the boundary line running round the shape of lawn about 20cm in from edge and then the guide wire branches off and feeds back into base station.

Oh and def worth burying the wire. Takes a bit longer but much neater and no risk of it being accidentally cut.

ok, I’ll start by sorting the boundary wire first and then try and work out the guide wire and will bury the wires as suggested.

You need to the boundary wire to create a "loop" within the mower will operate. The ends of the wires go into the left and right hand sides of the docking station.

The guide wire lets the mower know how to navigate back to the charge point. This runs from the boundary wire to the centre of the charging station.

I have a different model to you and despite the instructions saying it needs 1.5m clearance on each side of the charging station - it doesn't. Ours sits next to the house.

Because the blades are under the centre of the mower - not at the front - there will be 15cm or so of grass Infront of your wall it will not be physically able to cut.

I would not go back to a push mower now and would replace my robot lawnmower before my Eufy!
