GARDENA Bluetooth App

Love this thing. No more spending an hour doing the lawn at the cabin when we will only be there for about 40 hrs a weekend. Better warranty than a new push mower. And after working out the kinks. It’s basically hands off lawn care. Couple of issues along the way or I would give it five stars.

I’ve had this mower for three years. It’s fine. My major pain point with this mower is the inability to clear errors and restart it via the app. I use a wheelchair. The whole motivation for getting this mower was so I can mow my lawn independently. It often gets stuck due to errors with slope because of its drunken navigation patterns. Since physical interaction with the mower is the only way to clear errors and resume mowing, I have to call a neighbor to help. I’m fed up with the unreliability and have decided to purchase a new mower from Ecovacs. It’s more expensive but worth it if it is more user friendly for me. If Gardena would update their app so I could clear errors from my phone, they could have kept me as a customer.

Wait until you get “Mini” installed! Your only regret will be “wish I did this sooner”! Be prepared that the installation does take more boundary stakes than the company listed was necessary in the directions & that led to the necessity of ordering a couple hundred more stakes to complete my 5050 square foot area. Many customer reviews listed this fact so I was aware prior to my purchase. After we got thru that part, the rest of the setup was simple! Since I do not have a fence, the 2 neighbors that do have a fence is no issue & the 2 that do not, I used 3 foot flags approx every 10 feet so the neighbors didn’t mow over & cut my boundary wire. This is my second year since installing my “Minimo” & it’s such a pleasure! I love the silence! Can’t wait till everyone gets away from the noisy gas power lawnmowers! My original flags that I placed along my neighbors lots lines last mowing season in 2023, they are still standing now for the second mowing year! I use a trimmer once every couple weeks to get the grass that grows along the 2 neighbors boundary lines. Update: the 3rd year! We decided to bury the boundary wire due to neighbors cutting line. All is great! And the updates on the app this season is great. No longer on army time. The app is working better & faster! Don’t miss the lawn cutting, the noise & the gas smell!
