Before buying a new automatic robotic lawn mower, several important criteria must be taken into account, including battery life and the area the device can cover. Although there are countless robotic mowers on the market, with a little advice, you will surely find the mower model that meets your needs. In this article, I have tested for you what one of the robotic mowers from the Bosch brand is worth: the Indego Connect 1200. Here are the answers.
Bosch Indego Connect 1200
Emerging in the early 2000s, the robotic mower or the mowing revolution has gradually established itself in France, while the growing interest in this electric mower is already well present in countries such as Switzerland, Belgium, and Germany. The latter competes with other manufacturers (Honda, Cub Cadet, John Deere, etc.) with its gardening tool called Bosch Indego Connect 1200 (more info on this site). Indeed, this robot is the first connected mower from the German brand. Equipped with a remote control system, it allows you to mow a maximum area of 1200 m2 from a smartphone or tablet running Android (version 4.1 and above), iOS (version 6+), and Windows Phone.

As for its technical specifications, the Bosch Indego 1200 Connect is equipped with 3 reversible mobile blades with a cutting width of 26 cm. Additionally, the cutting height can range from 20 to 60 mm. It is even possible to set up to 10 different cutting zones on the same lawn. The Indego 1200 Connect mower features a navigation system called: Logicut from Bosch. This maximizes cutting speed by at least 30% compared to other competing robots in this category. For this, programming can be done directly on the mower’s built-in screen or remotely via a smartphone. Obstacle sensors, safety system, and anti-theft features are also components of the Indego 1200 Connect. Indeed, these components function to immediately stop the blades in case of overturning. On the battery side, the Indego 1200 Connect has a Lithium-Ion 32.4v – 3.0Ah battery with an average charging time of 1 hour 10 minutes. Its battery life of 50 minutes allows it to mow an area of nearly 200m2 during each use.
How does the Bosch Indego Connect 1200 work?
The Bosch Indego Connect 1200 mows your lawn using the mulching technique. This method has the advantage of mowing without collecting the grass. Indeed, the mowing robot cuts the mowed grass into small pieces that are redeposited on the lawn. As a result, mulching not only helps avoid having to manage the disposal of grass clippings but also naturally fertilizes the soil with organic waste, optimizing the density and health of the lawn.

Furthermore, to prevent the mower from exceeding the mowing area and/or crushing your flower beds, it is important to delimit the terrain. For this, I used a peripheral wire driven in with plastic stakes and stretched continuously all around the garden. This wire emits a radioelectrical signal that is detected by the Indego Connect 1200, allowing it to know the area to be mowed.
In summary, the Bosch Indego 1200 Connect successfully enters the world of autonomous robotic mowers. Additionally, its great feature in the range is that it benefits from free wireless technology, which captures mobile networks. Thus, the connected mower provides perfect comfort for both novice and experienced gardeners who want to spend more time caring for their roses than mowing the lawn.
