In a world where sustainability and eco-friendly technology are becoming increasingly important, RoboService stands at the forefront in offering green solutions for lawn care. With growing awareness of the environmental impact of traditional ride-on mowers, robot lawn mowers have become a popular alternative. In this article, we explore the advantages of robot lawn mowers over traditional ride-on mowers, focusing on environmental savings and efficiency – two key factors that RoboService always prioritizes.
Environmental Savings and Cost Savings – A Comparison:
A recent analysis by RoboService reveals remarkable differences in energy consumption between robot lawn mowers and traditional ride-on mowers. The Kress KR236e, a leading model in RoboService’s lineup, demonstrates how effective a modern robot lawn mower can be. Over a six-month period, with a mowing frequency of three times a week over an area of 10,000 m², the Kress KR236e is calculated to have a total energy consumption of only about 230kWh. It is important to point out that the KR236 is a wire-free robot lawn mower, utilizing Kress’s own RTK network of reference points for centimeter precision.

Kress KR236e (Robot Lawn Mower):
- Total supervision time: 36 hours (3 times a week, 30 minutes each time, over 6 months)
- Total energy consumption: 230 kWh
- Energy consumption cost: 344.74 SEK
- Personnel cost for supervision: 11,880.00 SEK
- Total cost: 12,224.74 SEK
These figures show the total fuel and energy costs for each machine when mowing an area of 10,000 m² three times a week over a period of six months.
Energy Consumption Per Mowing Session:
According to RoboService’s analysis, the robot lawn mower Kress KR236e is significantly more energy-efficient compared to traditional ride-on mowers. For mowing an area of 10,000 m², the KR236e consumes only 3.2 kWh per session. This figure contrasts sharply with traditional ride-on mowers. The Husqvarna R 112C, a popular ride-on mower, consumes about 9.02 kWh per mowing session. The Husqvarna R 214TC, another model from the same manufacturer, uses about 6.70 kWh per session, while the Toro Groundmaster 4000-D, a more powerful mower for larger areas, has an even higher consumption of about 28.37 kWh per session.
These figures highlight the significant difference in energy efficiency between the Kress KR236e and traditional ride-on mowers. With its low energy consumption, the KR236e not only contributes to reduced environmental impact but also to lower operating costs. This is an important aspect for both environmentally conscious consumers and businesses seeking cost-effective lawn care solutions. RoboService’s analysis clearly demonstrates that the future of mowing lies in efficient and eco-friendly technology represented by the Kress KR236e.
RoboService – A Greener Alternative:
This compilation shows that although the robot lawn mower (Kress KR236e) requires regular supervision, the total cost of using the robot mower over a six-month period is significantly lower than the costs of using traditional ride-on mowers.
RoboService focuses not only on offering the latest and most efficient robot lawn mowers but also places great emphasis on educating consumers about the environmental advantages of these products. By choosing a robot lawn mower from RoboService, customers contribute to a reduction in carbon emissions and an overall lower environmental impact.
