robotic mowers

my neighbor has a Husqvarna robot mower. Thing cuts every other day. Has a nice cut when he keeps the blades up. The only thing that would bother me is it cuts like a roomba. No rhyme or reason half the time. It cuts all the grass, just not in any type of pattern. I'm not sure if you can set it to do that and he didn't or if it isnt possible.

Only thing with robotic mowers they can’t cut when tall or wet. So there might be significant times where you’ll have to cut it yourself anyway.

I’d suggest just getting a battery powered mower. They’re light, quiet, and won’t take you too long. Could mow in the dark/cool if you wanted.

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.
