Lidl Parkside 20V 1000M2 robot mower review

I'm waiting on replacements too since Sept 2024 - havent got an ETA.

Correct - I asked for an ETA on stock but have had no response yet. I'll need to chase and keep hassling no-doubt.

The 1st faulty mower I had back in 2023 got replaced pretty much immediately.

Went to put my mower out this evening to give the lawn its first trim of the year but unfortunately the mower won't charge when I put it into the docking station.

The light on the docking station stays solid green when it should go red to indicate charging.

Funny thing is the screen on the mower says charging but its stuck on 38% and doesn't change.

Any advice would be very welcome.

Just to add the mower was indoors for the winter and the docking station was outside. I took the back cover off the dock and its bone dry inside.

Yes I had checked the contacts on both and they were both spotless and shiny.

I actually made contact with Lidl to see about returning it and yesterday evening I just happened to try it again and unbelievably it started charging and went out cutting as normal this evening so not sure what was up with it and how it is ok now again.

I had opened up the dock in case there was any moisture present but it was bone dry so it's a mystery to me 🤷‍♂️

Did you get anywhere when you contacted Lidl? I tried twice about the same issue but didn't get to speak to anyone.

Mine has a vet annoying fault now where basically it always says "loop signal not detected" and you have to disconnect and reconnect the boundary wire...every day. Seems like a dock issue more than the robot. Think I will be on to service dept as it is less than one yo. Anyone else had this?

Where can I buy the docking station for this?

I took "Lawnrence" out of hibernation yesterday. Reconnected everything and All seemed to be working well until I got a "battery abnormal temperature" warning via the app. It has charged to 85% which is more than enough for my garden. Hopefully it is just still a bit chilly for it after the shed but I was wondering if anyone else had got the same warning.

Thanks for the advice. I let it run down today for a couple of hours and it has now charged fully and no battery temperature warning so seems to be all good.

I think it leaves the dock when it gets to 90% and cuts til 30% then returns. It will only get to 100% outside of scheduled cutting time, for example overnight. The 90% is from memory - either its in the manual or I noticed it.

According to the app the contact number is - +353 1 920 3010

I see that the parkside app has an update. The update has added a blade stop option that if selected stops the blades from spinning if the mower is reversing. It has also added a hedgehog protection feature that when selected stops the mower from heading out between 7pm and 7am which is when hedgehogs are usually out and about.

I haven't noticed anything else but I would assume background updates for the app aswell

It looks like it. There is a new model on the German and Czech sites for the last few days already. https://www.lidl.de/p/parkside-20-v-maehroboter-smart-pamrs-1000-a1-mit-akku-und-ladestation/p100387043

Looks like my base station is also faulty. Have 22v at the contacts and the boundary wire output but no Leds and mower doesn't charge and says boundary line fault. Out of stock as well on Grizly (80001357), anyone any idea of where else you could get a base station while awaiting a possible replacement.
