UltraLife 800 (800 m²) at Currys ↗ UltraLife 1500 (1,500 m²) at Currys ↗
Without Wi-Fi, subscriptions and 4G
Follows a boundary wire pegged round the lawn, so it needs no Wi-Fi or phone signal to mow.
Flymo EasiLife app over Bluetooth; software updates over the air.
Data note: The 800 comes with 150 m of wire and 200 stakes; the 1500 with 250 m and 300 stakes. Currys lists the 800 cutting height as "4.5–25 mm", which looks like an error, so we have left it blank until Flymo confirms it. Currys gives different charge times for the two sizes (70 and 40 minutes).
