The Honda Miimo HRM500 is visibly – and audibly – influenced by its ASIMO robot, and should be let loose on your greensward a couple of times a week, cutting little but often.Using a fan to suck the grass towards its flexible steel blades, it doesn’t so much mow the grass as shave it, producing 2mm-3mm grass cuttings that don’t need to be raked or collected, just allowed to mulch back into the soil.
