Robotic lawnmowers are the ultimate in garden decadence, but they can be pricey. They're a ticket to a permanently manicured lawn, but prices can run into the thousands of pounds. 

However, this deal on a Flymo robot lawnmower is part of Amazon's Spring Sale, and it saves £200 off the cost of a medium-sized mower that can quietly cut your lawn all through the season. 

It's a 33% discount on the Easilife Go 400, a mower designed for larger gardens up to 400 sq m, and it's quite the bargain at just £399.99. A branded robot mower for £400 is a deal not to be missed. 

This is a lawnmower that needs a boundary wire, and you'd be best to set aside an afternoon to install that, but it's pretty easy. 

Once it's up and running, you just park it in its charging base, set up a schedule on the app, and watch it do its duties. 

If it's raining or frosty, the mower will know, but otherwise it'll head out each day to do a trim all over your grass - mulching up the cuttings as it goes. 

There are no screens or interfaces on the robot itself, just a few buttons for basic controls and an emergency stop button. Scheduling your cutting routine is all done in the app. 

Robot lawnmowers cope better than you might think with inclines, and they're also incredibly quiet. They just emerge from their charging base, whiz around your lawn for a while, and then slink back at the end of their working day. 

Amazon's spring sale is due to end on March 31, so if you'd like to take the plunge and save yourself a regular gardening chore, get your skates on.
