STIGA

Pros and cons
Flymo
Pros
- Range covers robot mower, lawn mower and trimmer, covering both robotic and hand held garden work under one brand
- App control is supported, so mowing can be scheduled and monitored from a phone
- A shared battery platform means one charger can serve several Flymo machines
Cons
- Boundary wire navigation means the lawn needs a cable laid before the mower runs, on boundary wire.
- Warranty of 2 years sits below the robot mower field, ranking 11 of 19.
- Max area of 1,500 square metres ranks 10 of 14, below the largest mowers tracked.
STIGA
Pros
- Warranty of 5 years, well ahead of 3 years for the typical robot mower in this group.
- Robot mowers reach 14,000 m², against 3,500 for the typical machine here.
- Range spans robot mower, lawn mower and ride on mower, which adds ride-on mowers and leaf blowers to what Toolineo lists.
Cons
- Battery platform is a no, so batteries are not shared between a mower and a pressure washer.
- Navigation is a mix of rtk gps, vision and boundary wire, so a boundary wire has to be chosen at purchase rather than added later.
- Markets are listed as AT, BE and CZ, so the range and its support cover those countries and nothing wider.
Who each suits
Flymo
Who it suits
- Households wanting the robot mower and the wider garden kit from one brand, since robot mower, lawn mower and trimmer runs from robot mowers to pressure washers
- Owners with a mid sized lawn close to the 1,500 square metre mark who are comfortable laying a boundary wire
- Gardens near neighbours, where 58 decibels and app scheduling make runs easy to live with
Who should look elsewhere
- Large estates above the listed 1,500 square metres, where a bigger mower from another brand gives more ground covered per charge
- Buyers who want wire free navigation, since Flymo lists boundary wire
- Anyone outside GB and IE who cannot source local parts and service
STIGA
Who it suits
- Home owners with a large lawn who want one address for hand tools, mowers and garden equipment.
- Buyers who put warranty length first, since 5 years is long for this group.
- Gardeners shopping in Austria, BE and CZ who want phone and email support alongside the machines.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers after the lowest entry price: Fuxtec lists €6.90 for garden tools.
- Shoppers whose list is ride-on mowers and lawn mowers only: Exmark lists lawn mower, ride on mower and robot mower, which fits a mower focused buying plan.
- Anyone needing a shared battery platform across machines, which STIGA does not offer.

Questions about each
Flymo
What kinds of machines does Flymo sell?+
Flymo spans robot mower, lawn mower and trimmer, so a single brand can cover the mower plus trimmers, a leaf blower, a chainsaw, a pressure washer and garden tools. That breadth suits buyers who would rather run one support line and one battery platform than mix suppliers.
Does the robot mower need a boundary wire?+
Flymo's listed navigation is boundary wire, which means a cable has to mark the lawn edges before the mower can work unattended. It suits a straightforward plot, and less suited to a lawn with complicated boundaries that need a wire run around every edge.
STIGA
How much does a STIGA machine cost at the point of purchase?+
Hand tools sit at £8.99 on the UK store, a single starting price rather than a range. Robot mowers cost more than that, and the price ranking places STIGA at 6 of 20, ahead of Fuxtec, whose garden tools begin at €6.90.
How long is the STIGA warranty?+
Warranty is 5 years, well ahead of 3 years for the typical robot mower in this group, and ahead of 3 years across lawn mowers and garden tools. Owners get more cover than most brands here.
