Operation

How does RTK differ from GPS on lawn mowers?

RTK uses ground-based correction signals to achieve centimeter accuracy; GPS alone is accurate to ±2m. RTK eliminates buried boundary wire but requires line-of-sight to satellites and a stationary base station (additional cost and infrastructure). GPS mowers use physical wire because GPS accuracy forces a safety perimeter.

Operation

What happens if the RTK signal is lost mid-mowing?

Mower waits up to 2 minutes for signal reacquisition. If satellite fix is not regained, it returns to dock and pauses the schedule. Rescheduling requires manual user confirmation via app. Owner reports document 2–3 loss-of-fix incidents per mowing session in tree-heavy zones.

Operation

Does the Indego M+ 700 work without professional installation?

RTK base station installation must be performed by an authorized Bosch installer. DIY installation voids warranty and risks geofence accuracy. Installation includes site survey, antenna positioning (1.5m above obstruction), electrical weatherproofing, and calibration.

Ownership

What happens to monthly operating cost with blade wear?

Blade replacement every 150–200 operating hours at estimated $450–600 per set. Assuming 3–4 mowings weekly (150–200 hours annually), expect $600–1,000 in consumables yearly. No subscription fees documented as of June 2026.

Compatibility

Can I manually adjust the mowing boundary via app?

Yes. Geofence adjustment is available in the companion app without additional hardware changes. User documentation notes no validation of boundary legality; users can inadvertently program mowing into neighbor property or driveway (user forum incidents documented).

Comparison

How is the Indego M+ 700 quieter or louder than wire-guided mowers?

Noise output is approximately 76dB during cutting per manufacturer specs, equivalent to brush-motor mowers. No inherent quietness advantage over Husqvarna Automower or Roborock; sound is determined by motor and blade design, not navigation technology.
