Robo-mowers

alwillis · 2024-06-03T13:47:23Z

Any users on here? Nearly 300msq back lawn, takes me 30-45 mins with a self propelled petrol mower bought 5 years ago for £100. Classic time poor household, with current mower struggling, and thinking of being away for a few weeks later in the summer. At about £1000 for these it will take a couple of years to “pay for itself” but could be very useful. Can’t find a good guide online of how flat my lawn needs to be, and how features on different models work- can they be set to mow outside certain times (e.g. when there isn’t a baby on the lawn!)? Any model recommendations? Pitfalls? Man maths not adding up?

old boy down the road has a grandson who mows lawns for a £10 a go

Used to do that many years ago, obviously for less money. Rare to find these days I believe with liability fears etc.

Looks like a better solution for everyone really. Income for him, no big outlay for you, lawn gets mown, nothing to go wrong, no new equipment need to me manufactured and shipped, no money leaving the country to China.

The poster implied that they already have a mower!

I saw a robo mop today. Waddafak

Wouldn’t fit around the bog where the boys end up splashing.
