re: robotic mowers

I had the prior model worx landroid that just crapped out after about 4 years (partially my fault). I really loved the thing. You are supposed to have them run every day. They do cut like a roomba, but if they run daily, the yard just always looks fresh cut. I had mine mow after dusk - it's so quiet nobody would ever know it was running. I have small kids and it was great for them to always have a maintained yard to play in, and it saved me lots of effort. You do still have to use a weedeater around the edges and mow occasionally. If it rains a bunch and yard stays wet but grows like crazy, you'll have to mow to let it catch up. The robot mowers aren't made to cut tall grass.

Happy to answer any other questions you have about it.
