| It mows for about two hours and charges its battery for about two hours. The charging station has to be connected to power. It drives slowly. Watch a YouTube video. They all go at a very sedate speed. If your garden is smaller than the recommended size for a robot then it should be no issue all. Sure, it is slow, but eight or so hours of work time five days a week will get your lawn mowed. And, again, since it’s silent it’s not really an issue that it’s driving around. (But maybe don’t get one if you have pets or toddlers.) Not all gardens are ideal. Many inclines lead to problems, as do thin connecting paths between different parts of the garden. But if your garden is quite straightforward (or even quite a bit more complicated then that) it’s not an issue. Digging in the boundary cable is quite a bit of work (as you can imagine) and fiddling with it to make it all work perfectly, too, but I think my parents still spent less time taking care of the lawn last summer when they set it up than when they still had to mow. (Also, only the places where my parents were overly ambitious and wanted it to do things not recommended in the manual were there actual issues.) If you have lawn going right up to some sort of wall or fence you will be left with a thin stripe of unmowed grass. My parents just quickly mow that every couple weeks, it’s not a big deal. This tech has been around for decades, so it’s pretty proven. Besides my parents I know a couple other people who use it. |
