Bosch Indego S+ 500

The spec-sheet read

Our analysis of the sourced spec sheet — positioning and trade-offs, not a hands-on review. We don't score mowers we haven't tested.

Bosch's 500 m² wired robot on an 18 V Bosch battery, with logical lane-by-lane mowing (LogiCut) and a 60-minute run against a 60-minute recharge.

The Indego S+ 500 is Bosch's wired robot for small-to-medium lawns, rated for 500 m² with a 27% slope limit. It runs on an 18 V Bosch battery, cuts 19 cm wide at three fixed heights (30, 40 and 50 mm), and is quoted at 60 minutes of mowing against a 60-minute recharge, at 7.6 kg and 59 dB(A) with app control and anti-theft protection. Its distinguishing feature is LogiCut: the Indego maps the lawn and mows it in parallel lanes rather than at random, which is how it covers 500 m² on a 19 cm cut.

Against the other wired machines of this size here it is the middle option on paper — a wider cut than the 16 cm Aspire R4 and SILENO minimo, a slope rating between the minimo's 25% and the Sileno city's 35%, and a narrower cut-height range than either (three stops from 30 to 50 mm, so no cut below 30 mm). At €799 it is priced close to the Aspire R4's £849 RRP, and the lane-mowing pattern is the reason to choose it over both.

Verification note: Bosch's own product page for this model was unreachable at capture; the specs here are those on which an independent hands-on review and Bosch's published instruction manual agree exactly, and the €799 is a standard retail listing with no promotional markers. Battery capacity, IP rating, warranty and multi-zone support are not stated in these sources and are left unspecified. This is a reading of the published specification, not a hands-on test.
