AL-KO Robolinho 350 W Robotic Lawnmower (Dark Grey)

What size garden is the AL-KO Robolinho 350 W suitable for?

This mower is rated for gardens up to 300m². That's roughly the size of a typical UK semi-detached rear garden. The 20cm cutting width and automatic operation mean it works through the area methodically on its own. If your garden is significantly larger than 300m², you'd want to look at a higher-capacity model.

Does the mower come with everything needed for installation?

Yes. The box includes 100m of boundary wire, 90 ground nails and a base station. These are the three main components you need to define the mowing area and set up the charging point. One verified buyer noted that leaving a small amount of slack cable at the base station rather than cutting it exactly to length helps the mower dock more reliably.

How loud is the AL-KO Robolinho robotic lawnmower 350 W during operation?

It operates at 60 dBA. For context, normal conversation sits around 60 - 65 dBA, so this mower is genuinely quiet in use. A standard petrol mower typically produces 95 - 100 dBA. The low noise level means you can schedule it to run at times that would be impractical with a conventional mower.

Can it handle slopes and uneven ground?

The mower can handle inclines of up to 30%. This covers the majority of residential garden slopes. AL-KO uses a specially developed movement technology to maintain traction and cutting consistency on gradients. If your garden has steeper sections than 30%, the mower may struggle to navigate them safely.

How does the mulching system work and do I need to collect grass cuttings?

No grass collection is needed. The mower cuts small amounts of grass frequently and chops the clippings finely inside the housing. These fine clippings are then deposited back onto the lawn where they break down and act as a natural fertiliser. This works best when the mower runs regularly so it's only ever removing a small amount of growth at a time.

What is the cutting height range and how is it adjusted?

The cutting height adjusts continuously between 25mm and 55mm across 31 positions. This gives you fine control over lawn height depending on the season or your preference. Adjustment is made via the display on the unit. A minimum height of 25mm is suitable for most UK lawn types without stressing the grass.

Is the mower safe to use around children and pets?

AL-KO has built in reliable sensor technology that detects obstacles including people and animals. When something is detected in the mowing path, the mower stops or changes direction automatically. The blades are also enclosed within the mower housing rather than exposed at the edges, which reduces risk compared to traditional rotary mowers. That said, it's always sensible to supervise young children around any powered garden equipment.

Where is the AL-KO Robolinho 350 W made and what warranty does it come with?

The mower was developed in Germany and manufactured in Austria. It comes with a 2-year manufacturer guarantee. AL-KO is a well-established European garden machinery brand with a long history in outdoor power equipment. The Austrian manufacturing base is associated with the brand's emphasis on build quality and component longevity.
