If you are thinking of getting a robotic lawnmower, it makes sense to look at its power consumption and whether it is worthwhile for your use.
Electricity consumption of a robotic lawnmower: What you should know
Robot mowers can make your everyday life a lot easier. After all, no one likes to mow the lawn after a long day of work in the heat.
- Generally, the power consumption varies from model to model and also depends on the size of your lawn. Logically, the larger your lawn area, the higher the power consumption.
- For every 200 square metres of lawn you mow, you can expect to use about 20 kWh of electricity per year. With an electricity consumption of about 36 cents (as of 2022), the cost is therefore about 7.20 euros per year.
- In terms of cost, the electricity consumption of a classic electric lawn mower is in the same range. However, there can be variations depending on the lawn mower and how fast you mow the lawn also plays an important role.
- The price quoted may vary, however. This is because factors such as the location of the garden and how often you have the lawn mown still play a role. It also depends on whether there are objects in the garden, such as twigs, which require a lot of energy to chop up.
- In addition, it is advisable to use the robot only when it is really necessary. If you do use it, it is best to use it in ECO mode.
- Also, before using it, make sure that there are no branches and other disturbing parts lying around, as shredding them also costs a lot of energy.
