How can you tell you ordered an EU plug version?

I finally managed to place an order last week for the 3000X, whilst in holiday in Portugal. I wonder am I gonna get an EU plug version.

I placed order on Thursday and it has just shipped this morning and I have a DHL tracking number, so hopefully it gets here by the end of the week.

if you go onto the order details, it should say under the title of the product.

Hoping it comes as quick as yours!

Ok thanks. Mine does not specify EU plug so I guess/hope I am getting UK plug.

Hi,

I'm looking for replacement blades for my Parkside robot lawnmower (pmrda 20-li b2). Are they all pretty much the same or some companies offering sharper/better blades? Any links would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It more than likely won't, unfortunately.

I bought on the 22nd of May
it shipped on the 26th with a tracking number
The tracking number only became active on the 31st
I didn't get delivery til the 6th of June.

one week in with the Yuka Mini 600 and it's working out very well, it somehow tamed our meadow and our lawn looks like a lawn again! 0 incidents so far of getting stuck and it was cutting grass that was a foot tall

I think there is some weird shortcoming with the software I'd say though.

It reports the mowing time of a task, but not the time including charging. So it says 250 mins or whatever, but that might take 12 hours with charging, obviously more apparent on the small battery but I guess one with twice the battery would be charging for twice as long. I wouldn't expect it to be fully accurate, but at least guess something!
Its very cautious about when it goes back to charge. I was looking at it one of the evenings and it had 5 mins of mowing left in a task, and with 15% battery it headed back to the charger. It comfortably would be able to have done 5 mins and then headed back. I understand with the older style mowers that it wouldn't have a clue how long its going to take it to get back to the charger, It feels like with these RTK based ones, since it knows where the charger is that it could live life a bit more dangerously in terms of going back to charge
That example gets even worse, it charges to 90% or whatever it charges to before leaving the base station rather than just topping up what it needs to finish the task. So in this case it didn't get to finish before the "don't mow at night" rule kicked in, so it went out to finish the task at 5am, did its 5 mins of mowing and went back to the base station to sit idle again.

Hey everyone,

Apologies if this has already been chatted about above but there are over 180 pages of comments to look through :)

My question is - has anyone had any issues with the lawnmower getting stuck in rough terrain. Id suppose my lawn wouldnt be the most level with some dips etc and the lawnmower seems to get stuck here and there.

Iv seen the following wheel spikes online that are supposed to help but am wondering if anyone has actually used them and if they found they helped…. were they easy to install on the wheels etc….. any further info would be greatly appreciated??

Hi all,

I've searched the thread, so don't think this has been asked before, however I'm hoping this is the right place for this question…….

I have a Flymo Easilife Go 250 which I purchased in April 2024. Very happy with it to date, but yesterday I went to start it and noticed an error "Safety Function"

I tried the usual things to get it going again, but nothing seems to be working.

So 2 questions really:

Has anyone ever come across this before, and any idea what the cause might be (I did a lot of googling and it seems a pretty vague error code)
Does anyone know if Flymo have anyone based in Ireland who does the warranty calls? I phoned a few places this morning and no one seems to know of anyone who deals with them here anymore.

It comes with a 2 year warranty, so it's still covered, so just want to get it sorted asap!

Thanks in advance,

N
