The Flymo EasiLife GO 400 is a fully automatic robotic lawn mower built for small to medium gardens up to 400m². It runs on battery power and returns to its charging station automatically when needed. No manual mowing. No effort. Just set a schedule and leave it to work.
It operates at just 58dB(A) quieter than a normal conversation so it won't disturb you or your neighbours. The LawnSense and FrostSense technology automatically adjusts the mowing schedule based on weather conditions and grass growth. It mulches clippings back into the lawn as natural fertiliser, so there's no grass box to empty.
The PassageSense function navigates passages as narrow as 60cm. The intelligent guide wire sets multiple start points and prevents track marks. Control it via LED indicators or the Bluetooth app for scheduling, troubleshooting and advanced settings all from home.
The mower is designed for gardens up to 400m². That's roughly the size of a typical small to medium UK back garden. If your lawn is significantly larger than this, you'd need to look at a higher-capacity model. The mower works on irregular shaped lawns and can handle inclines up to 25%, which covers most standard residential gardens.
Yes, a boundary wire must be laid around the perimeter of your lawn to define the mowing area. Customer feedback is mixed on this some find it straightforward, others find the wiring installation awkward and time-consuming. The wire can be left on the surface and pegged down or buried in a shallow slit in the ground. Burying it is more work initially but avoids the risk of accidentally cutting the wire with other garden tools. One reviewer noted the installation took a couple of hours on soft ground. The included wire is sufficient for a lawn area of approximately 120m².
The mower operates at 58dB(A). To put that in context, normal conversation is around 60dB and a petrol lawn mower typically reaches 90 - 95dB. At 58dB(A) it is quiet enough to run without disturbing neighbours or causing a nuisance. This makes it practical to schedule mowing at times that suit you rather than being restricted to certain hours.
The EasiLife app connects to the mower via Bluetooth with a range of approximately 6 metres. This means you need to be fairly close to the mower to connect it is not a Wi-Fi connected device and cannot be controlled remotely from outside the garden. Through the app you can access extended settings, set mowing schedules, run Spot Cut, Override, Park and Second Area functions and troubleshoot issues. Customer reviews note mixed experiences some find it straightforward, others find it basic. The app has been updated since launch and is reported to have improved.
Yes. The mower can handle inclines up to 25%, which is a reasonably steep gradient. It is also capable of mowing irregular shaped lawns. The large front wheels noted in customer reviews appear to help with undulating ground and reduce the likelihood of the mower getting stuck compared to some competing models.
The FrostSense function detects frost conditions and automatically keeps the mower parked rather than attempting to mow. This protects both the lawn and the mower during cold weather. One long-term reviewer reported leaving the mower out all winter with a shelter built over it, with FrostSense keeping it parked during snow for a couple of weeks. The mower continued to operate on a weekly schedule throughout winter to keep the lawn tidy.
Based on the 979 customer reviews, battery performance is a notable concern. Out of 45 reviews mentioning battery, 38 were negative reporting issues with the battery not holding charge or failing after a short period of use. Reliability overall received mixed feedback, with 82 positive mentions but 67 negative ones from 149 reviews on the topic. It is worth noting that one customer reported receiving a unit with a battery that had not been deep-cycle charged within the required window, suggesting stock management can be an issue. If purchasing, check the battery condition date on the packaging.
No. There is no grass box to empty. The mower uses a mulching system that finely cuts the grass clippings and deposits them back onto the lawn. These clippings break down and return nutrients particularly nitrogen to the soil, acting as a natural fertiliser. This is standard practice for robotic mowers and is generally considered beneficial for lawn health when the mower runs frequently enough to keep clippings fine. Because it mows regularly rather than letting grass grow long, the clippings are small enough to disappear into the lawn without leaving visible debris.
