Frequently asked
How often should I replace robot mower blades?
Every 4–6 weeks with daily mowing — and always swap in the new screws that come with the blades. The guides above walk the full replacement for Navimow and Mammotion, plus our head-to-head test of titanium-coated blades against OEM — measured with a laser edge reader and a scale, and OEM won.
Can I pressure wash a robot mower?
Never. A pressure washer is the fastest way to kill a robot mower. Use the app's cleaning mode and an air brush for the deck instead — the full routine, including how to deal with caked grass clumps, is in the cleaning guide above.
What does a robot mower need over winter?
Don't leave it outside all winter — that's one of the avoidable mistakes that shortens a battery's life. Clean the deck, then store the mower indoors at the end of the season. Our owner's handbook covers the full end-of-season routine, and Zippy Care customers get it done for them.
