Gardena has introduced the smart Sileno free, a groundbreaking robotic lawn mower that eliminates the need for traditional boundary wires. This innovation promises an easy setup and flexible lawn care solution, ideal for gardens spanning up to 1,200 square meters.
Key Features of Smart Sileno Free
Satellite Navigation: The smart Sileno free uses GPS and real-time kinematics for accurate, wire-free mowing.
Effortless Setup: The mower defines its own virtual boundary through the Gardena app, which allows users to guide it along the lawn’s edge.
Trim-to-Edge Technology: With a cutting unit located at the rear, the mower achieves a precise cut along fixed edges, minimizing manual edging work.
Available Models: The smart Sileno free comes in versions designed for lawns of 600, 800, and 1,200 square meters.
Satellite Navigation for Accurate Mowing
The smart Sileno free is equipped with GPS and real-time kinematics technology, enabling it to mow the lawn efficiently without requiring a physical boundary wire. This set-up contrasts with competitor models, such as the Segway Navimow 105E, Ecovacs Goat G1, and RoboUp T1200 Pro, which rely on additional hardware like antennas and signal masts.
While the boundary-free navigation simplifies installation, it could impact mowing precision. The mower follows a random path rather than a targeted route. During installation, users can easily define the virtual boundary by guiding the robot along the edge of the lawn using the Gardena app. Thanks to LONA technology, the robot maps the lawn area and allows for personalized adjustments in different zones, including the ability to exclude certain sections and set distinct mowing frequencies.
Efficient Mowing with Trim-to-Edge Technology
A standout feature of the smart Sileno free is its Trim-to-Edge function. The mower’s rear-positioned cutting unit, consisting of two blade discs with three blades each, enables it to make clean cuts along fixed edges. When the robot reaches a boundary, it automatically rotates 180 degrees, ensuring a close cut that reduces the need for manual trimming.
Pricing and Availability
The smart Sileno free is available in three models, each designed to handle different lawn sizes:
- smart Sileno free 600: Suitable for lawns up to 600 square meters, priced at €1,299.99.
- smart Sileno free 800: For areas up to 800 square meters, priced at €1,672.56.
- smart Sileno free 1200: Ideal for lawns up to 1,200 square meters, priced at €1,905.20.
These models are currently available for pre-order and are expected to be ready for the 2025 gardening season.
Conclusion
The Gardena smart Sileno free marks a significant step forward in robotic lawn care by offering a boundary-free, hassle-free mowing experience. Its satellite-based navigation, easy installation process, and advanced trim-to-edge technology make it an appealing option for homeowners seeking convenience and efficiency in lawn maintenance. With three different models catering to various lawn sizes, the smart Sileno free promises to meet the needs of a wide range of customers. As it becomes available in time for the 2025 gardening season, this innovative mower is set to reshape the way we care for our lawns.
