    I agree, a robot mower isn't for me, however, I do see a huge market for them with those who despise lawn care. We all have those neighbors that only mow every 10-12 days when they have to and scalp it to the ground when they do. This is for them. Nice hat too! Happy New Year!

    I was telling another guy it seems like robomowers would be a great option for people trying to keep up their grass when they don’t have the time to dedicate to keeping it up. Life happens and could be a great option while we take care of a family member. Thank you Budget for supporting StJude , that was a cool thing to see

    Definitely something to consider in the future. Would be an excellent choice for the back lawn. Prices are insane and would need one that can cut down to 3/4" and operate without the need for wires. Also would be nice to select your own cut patterns. Maybe down the road but I have to pass for now.

    A study from 2021 reported that 21% of every villa with a lawn in Sweden have a robot lawn mower.
    And its 14% for all nordic countries. So it's really common that you see a robot lawn mower in Sweden at least :)
    I will consider it once more robot mowers uses GPS and the price is right.

    Our robot vacuum ran 3 times a week for 6 years and cleaned literally acres worth of area before recently getting retired and replaced with a new one. It made perfect lines that would make a lawn guy happy. We still have to vacuum some here and there and do all the other cleaning. I feel I have a place for a robot mower considering my travel schedule. I think that one mowing regularly and allowing me to do the fine work and all the extras that I don't have time for. I've only found a couple that can mow at 3.5" or taller.... and I'm a 4" guy with my TTTF. Maybe....

      Mine runs 3 times a week also and keeps a log of every clean. Not sure how this compares, but just the time alone it has saved is astounding!
      354 hours, 22k meters squared total area cleaned, and 809 cleanings. And that’s only cleaning 1/2 of a 1,500 sqft house. I ❤ my Roborock, even named her “Betty”!

    I got one two years ago and I after a lot of pain and struggles it finally does what it should do. My key objective was to get that regular cut, which was not possible for me. Positive side effects i don‘t have to deal with the clippings and i am super flexible when i want to mow the lawn (less weather dependent. Negative: cost - a for the mower but you can’t get rid of your other equipment. In contrary…i just ordered a reel mower. Reel mowing was so far not an option given i could only mow once a week - now i get the lawn cut during the week and do the details on the weekend!

      One thing to add: the pattern thing would be nice from an esthetic perspective. However, Husqvarna follows a different philosophy: the grass should be cut from every possible angle to improve the cut quality overall

    I have one in for my backyard. As much as i enjoy mowing, I just don’t have enough time to mow all the time. The robot mower saves me 1-2 hours a week cutting the back yard. All i have to do now is just edge the backyard, which takes 2 mins.

    I’m all in once the price comes down, they get a little smarter and can cut 4” St Aug. i’ve had a robot vacuum for years and love it, I see no difference for the outside of the house. Especially on those long 110 degree Texas summer days, I about passed out almost twice last year. Plus it’ll give me added time for for all the other things to keep the lawn on point like edging better, fert and weeds. Hell, I might even be inclined and have the time to level the yard if it would help the robo!

      There has been mention of landscaping companies using them for their accounts. Drop off the robot, come back the next day to pick it up and clean up the edging and whatnot, huge money saver on labor. Instead of mowing, just driving around, dropping off and picking up robots with a skeleton crew to tidy up the rest. Easily knock out 20 - 30 houses a day. That’s good money!
