Product Information

Here's my detailed review of the Bosch S+ 400 Indego so you can see for yourself how it performs and if it will free up your gardening spare time! If you're running a script or application, please register or sign in with your developer credentials here. The SmartMowing feature will check the weather forecast to ensure it schedules a cut at the right time and avoids inclement weather to give you the best results. The perimeter wire (150 m) along with the (200 pcs) pegs are already included in the package and provided on standard kit. Your lawn will be left looking neater than ever, and the Spotmow feature will even target small areas such as under garden furniture.

Whether you have questions about our products, need advice on maintenance and care, or require support after your purchase, we are always ready to provide prompt and helpful assistance. Add in a solid app that keeps an eye on the weather and schedules mowing times accordingly, dodging any days when you’d rather keep the lawn free from robot activity, and you’ve got one of the most intelligent robot lawn mowers around. It is ideal in gardens that add up to around 300 m² and the spot mow feature allows it to target specific areas where it is needed, rather than mow the whole lawn.This doesn’t give you the same stripey lawn you’d expect from a mower with a roller, but some striping is still visible when it’s finished.

It was a bit quicker the second time around at 25 minutes and used a completely different cutting pattern. But we probably didn’t save more than an hour or two on the weekly schedule compared to competitors with random patterns. Otherwise, your Bosch Indego M+ 700 might end up in your flower bed, or get stuck pretty much everywhere. But the real issue here is all the “I am a confused robot” moments going on during the installation process. Invaluable at the extra cost, the demonstrators were professional and thorough, a great introduction to the mower.Once made the above-mentioned operations, you will just need to enter the USB stick into the robot rear port and install the software. The AUTO Calendar Function will recommend a cutting schedule to suit each lawn and ensure cutting periods are not too short or too long. We feel that Bosch could have programmed the robot to understand that when it gets power from the charging dock, this means it has reached the dock, which would have fixed this annoying problem. The Indego S+ 500 with "SmartMowing" creates a mowing schedule based on your lawn size, weather data and personal preferences meaning manual programming is no longer necessary.

We are here to support you on your gardening journey, and we look forward to being a part of your success. Considering there are other robot lawn mowers out there where you can just unbox them and press start, this is of course something Bosch Indego has a con. The Bosch Indego S+ 500 is entirely modern and offers you a convenient and fuss-free way to mow the lawn and is suitable for lawns up to 500m2. The robot lawn mower controls are located in the user-friendly keyboard with display, which is placed on top of the cutting device.

Lifting sensor: If the robot is lifted during operation, the starting system is switched off and the blades stop immediately.

With the “SmartMowing” feature, Indego S+ is the only robotic lawnmower that uses a combination of your garden size, the local weather conditions and your personal preferences, to autonomously take care of your lawn.
