Our verdict
The accessible robot. Half the price of a Husqvarna 305 used, smaller coverage, simpler. Will not last 15 years like a Husqvarna but costs the right amount. Reasonable starter robot for a small flat lawn.

Buying second-hand
£100–200 used. Boundary wire integrity is everything — walk every metre. Battery cells are the second fail point; demand a runtime test. Reset the Flymo app account before purchase. Avoid units stored outdoors year-round (dock contacts corrode).
