Wire-Free Installation
Get customisable lawn maintenance via a wire-free installation, made possible by Stiga's satellite-based technology that requires no antenna on your property and enables the robotic mower to work within virtual boundaries instead of physical wires. This option offers flexible area management since you can easily adjust the installation & set multiple work areas with different settings – all easily managed through the Stiga app. Wire-free installation also means that there is no risk of wire breaks.

Integrated into the floating shell, the AI camera uses Ultra HDR to adapt to lighting changes for human-like perception, while a global shutter captures fast motion without blurring or artifacts.

Protected by a heat-dissipating aluminium body and Gorilla Glass, the AI system recognises grass and avoids obstacles. For custom control, the camera can be easily disabled in specific garden areas via the app.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do they work without boundary wires?
A: Stiga Vista robot lawn mowers work without boundary wires by using satellite signals, cellular data, and predictive artificial intelligence (AI) to create a completely virtual perimeter. Instead of relying on a buried cable, the system uses a combination of advanced technologies to pinpoint the exact location of the mower down to just 2 centimetres.

Q: Do I need a fixed reference antenna?
A: No, you do not need a fixed reference antenna for the Stiga Vista robot lawn mowers. They are completely reference station free. It represents a significant upgrade over older robotic models that forced you to mount an aerial antenna on your house roof or a dedicated pole in your garden.

Q: What happens if the satellite signal gets blocked by trees or buildings?
A: When the satellite signal is blocked by trees or buildings, the ⁠Stiga Vista avoids getting lost or stopping. It relies on its patented Stiga AGS Technology to predict signal blind spots, combined with AI-driven cameras and a continuous 4G connection.

Q: Will it leave visible tire tracks or mess up the lawn?
A: No, the Stiga Vista robot lawn mower is specifically engineered not to leave ugly tire tracks or mess up your lawn. In fact, it is built to do the exact opposite by improving the health and look of your grass.

Q: Can they handle hills?
A: Yes, Stiga Vista robot lawn mowers can handle hills, but their capability depends on the steepness and the specific model. Most Stiga Vista models (such as the Stiga A10v or the Stiga A50v) are designed to comfortably manage slopes with an incline of up to 45% (about 24 degrees).

Q: Are they noisy?
A: No, they are incredibly quiet, producing a noise level around 59 dB(A). This is comparable to the quiet hum of a typical household refrigerator or a very gentle indoor conversation

Q: Can they cut up to the edges?
A: Yes, they are designed to cut right up to the edges of your lawn. The robotic mowers feature perimeter management and border cutting capabilities that allow them to handle borders precisely.

Q: How often does it cut the grass?
A: They cut your grass twice a day during daylight hours, leaving a minimum of five hours between sessions. This approach prunes only a tiny amount of grass each time, allowing the clippings to act as a natural, hydrating mulch.

Q: Can they navigate around obstacles like trees and garden furniture?
A: Yes, they are equipped with Stiga Vista technology which can seamlessly navigate around fixed and moving obstacles, including trees and garden furniture.

Q: What happens when it rains?
A: When it rains, the mower will either automatically return to its base station or stay in the dock depending on your app settings. This is primarily to protect your lawn from soil damage and grass clumping, rather than to protect the mower itself.

Q: How often do I need to change the blades?
A: It is recommended to change the blades every 300 hours of operation or immediately if they become bent or damaged. Depending on how frequently your mower runs and the size of your lawn, this typically translates to replacing the blades once or twice a season (every 4 to 8 weeks during peak mowing months).

Q: Are they safe from theft?
A: They are highly secure and safe from opportunistic theft. They rely on a digital lock and tracking, making them useless to thieves.

Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Maintaining is straightforward. Regular upkeep involves simple cleaning, routine blade checks, and proper winter storage to ensure the robotic mower runs efficiently and prolongs its lifespan. Also book an annual service to maintain your warranty.
