Robot lawnmower?

Does anyone have any experience of using one of these? Are they too good to be true??

They all look quite expensive but if it means I don't have to mow the lawn anymore then it might be worth the investment...

I'd be interested too!

How do they know to stay on the lawn and not veer off into the flowerbeds Grin

And what if someone just lifts it and walks off???

Great Aunt has one and loves it.

We have one - there's a wire around the perimeter that keeps it off your flowerbeds and it won't work outside the perimeter.

You still have to do the edges but it works fine for general maintenance of the grass.

It's just as good as it sounds.Lawn permanently looks tiptop and we can spend time concentrating on the rest of the garden. They have digital locks to deter theft... but if my garden was easily accessible I would still worry.

Please only run your robot lawnmowers during the day...they can be dangerous to wildlife especially hedgehogs🦔

And if you have dogs...remember to clean up poo or it can get really stinky and is not nice to clean the mower🤢

You program them to certain times. Ours does 9 to 5 mon to fri 😊. And they go very slowly. I suspect mine would sense a hedgehog and stop. Don't forget the grass is permanently short when you have one of these so the creatures
are unlikely to be hiding in it anyway.

Ours stops and turns if it bumps into a light kid's ball, I think wildlife is safe.
