Robotic Mower?

Post by mabehr » October 6th, 2017, 12:50 pm

Has anyone had any experience with any of the robotic mowers, like Robomow, Lawnbott, Landroid, or Automower? Most seem at first glance to cut too low, but the idea is attractive. My wife is dead set against firing the landscaper, even though at this point I’m convinced that he is hurting more than he is helping our lawn, because she’s worried that I won’t actually keep up with the mowing. A robot, if it worked, might be expensive but would be cheaper than a divorce lawyer!

I use the Robomower RL850. It's an old model, though, and I haven't done the research lately on what's modern.

The maximum cut is 3", but with some garden hose and duct tape around the front wheel, I can raise that to 3.5". I find that 3" is just fine.
