I like the idea of items like these being the contributing factor in disguising the death of somebody.

"Haven't seen Mr Morris in a while but he must be fine, his lawns are cut when I get back from work every Wednesday."

I'd be tempted to attach a fake hand or foot to the back of it if I had one.

Needs beacon towers to be placed around your lawn. Comes with only 2. For my 500m2 I think I would need an extra 1 or 2 , at £99 each :-(

How cool would it be though, every time you go to put the lawmower out you say you’re going to light the beacons

Robot mowers constantly trim without the need for emptying and disposing of cuttings. The minimal daily cutting nutrients go back in the soil and your garden will improve. (edited)

Does it detect dog poo
11 h, 30 m ago
Or cat poo etc.

Is there a chance it may go "off piste" and wander onto a neighbour/s lawn/s.

Our lawns are connected so worried about the mower going AWOL!.

You create the map by walking the mower around the perimeter during setup, so it’s up to you if you want to mow next door’s lawn too. You could always create the map for both then cut it into 2 zones but instruct the mower to only mow one zone or both.

Why does this look like it will give the grass 10 seconds to comply?

Love it how they say “ai powered” for a simple algorithm developed in the 70s that is being teached in high school

This or pay a gardener to do it for two years

How are you working that out please? I'm not convinced.

Let's say a lawn needs cutting every 2 weeks, so over 2 years that'd be 860/(26*2) = £16.54 per cut, which might just be practical if you're paying a teenager to do a small lawn.

But this does 800m2 and would be massive overkill for a small lawn, so it would be closer to £50-100 per cut at a conservative estimate, which would work out as £2600-5200 for the 2 year period.

Cold...its No Mow May

You could buy a lot of goats for that price.

Robot mower naysayers shouldn't be so quick to judge... I've not mown my lawn for the last five years after an initial purchase of about £1k and as result we have a usable garden - there's no way I'd have been able to keep on top of it myself. No system is perfect, but just because something has downsides doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered. Missus wasn't convinced when we first moved in, so ended up going mid/low tier at the time - next time will be getting the BIGGEST one we can find!

For that price I would eat the grass

Cutting 600m2 twice a week in summer heat takes a long time. Time I could spend doing other things.

Anyone got one of these?
Author

Yes, I have. Happy to answer any questions.
11 h, 31 m ago
Do you know how the beacons are powered? What does the mower do if it loses the beacons / signal?

Any security features?

So many questions!

Each beacon uses 3x D cells. If the signal is weak (which seems to happen with mine after dusk) it returns to the charging station.

no boundary wire is a big selling point for me but £800+ is a bit too much for my liking

a cheaper version without a docking station is this one
cleva-uk.com/pro…m16
but it does require a garden with well defined boundaries, no drop offs etc... as it relies on optical recognition

I installed a robo mower last spring - the boundary wire took me pretty much all day to install & I was pretty sore the next day as I'm no spring chicken

it worked well for a a few month but by the autumn the boundary wire had broken somewhere - I still havent got round to trying to fix it & have reverted back to a cordless mower

the other issue is the replacement of the batteries as a lot of models do not seem to have batteries that can be easily replaced as will be needed after a few years of use (edited)

I had one of these and it’s good but cuts in a random pattern. It makes your lawn look messy and it does miss spots, not very efficient if you have a bigger garden.

So funny £900 for Robotic Lawn Mower. "" I do see point there in future . ""
I do not have, but my colleague bought 5 years ago similar thing .
I think that this thing is cutting like normal Lawn Mower it is not The principal for Robotic Lawn Mower is just to cut top grass layer and it is not allow grass to grow this way grass always looks like cut.
He was happy because it was first in the market and can show radar picture of his garden to other people .... if you have cash why not NICE TOYS
Does he have problems . O YES
1 garden need to be leveled "without put holes " these tiny wheels stuck and finish robot can not move
2 Prefer garden without hills etc ...
3 Weather conditions if to wet robotic need to know this --- can cut grass when raining
4 Batteries will need replace some point
5 These days when thefts stole anything if garden secure then ok , otherwise £900 robot can be lost
6 It is OK for small garden
7 So where robot travel or move to cut grass need to be leveled surface without any steps etc ....

Is it bad idea Not at all but does it do job 100 % NOT you still need to go around corners or other objects to cut by hand
So it is not like i bought Robotic Lawn Mower and do not need to work in the garden NO you still need to work instead of spending another 1 Hours cut with normal Lawn Mower. you have nice TOY Robotic Lawn Mower where you can see via window how it is working and think o so good i do not need to go ....

I'm for technology to move forward and we will be like humans from movie WALL·E

£900
Do not how much cost to get kids to cut the grass £50 per cut ???

Rich people have gardener person where he works .
we buy Robotic Lawn Mower thinking that we become rich but in reality become £900 poorer

My father-in-law died last year and he had a robotic lawn mower (with boundary wire). While the house has been on the market it has been a Godsend not having a 6 hour round trip just to mow the lawn.

If someone can invent an AI powered robotic dog poo picker first, then I might think about an AI powered robotic lawnmower.
