I thought I saw a thread a few weeks about robotic lawnmowers, but I couldn't find it...

Saw an advertisement at Lowes for a Husqvarna Automower 115H Robotic Lawn Mower.

Has anyone used one, or have any experience with them?

Had a coworker get one through a startup called Robin. It was basically a service that he paid weekly or monthly for. They leased him the robot, and came out and set up a perimeter line for the robot to follow. They have to dig down on your property line and set a wire, kind of like an invisible fence, so the robot knows where to stop.

They aren't like Roombas where it will map the yard for 100% coverage, they just basically zig zag through your yard until they hit a perimeter line and when they run out of charge they go back to their dock and charge, so it will get like 20% of your lawn mowed in one sitting.

He said it basically had to run everyday and by the end of the week he had 95% lawn coverage. Then you still have to mow and edge yourself.

Also it can't go through fences, so once or twice a week he had to go pick it up and take it to the backyard. They were working on a little auto-locking doggie door so it could traverse front to back.

Supposedly it was GPS linked so if somebody tried to steal it it would disable itself if it got too far from home.

The Robin service also offered an upgrade where they would send humans out to do your edging and weedeating for an add on fee to your monthly fee.

or just pay someone to mow and edge it all in one sitting rather than have part of the lawn mowed and by the time it's complete it's time to start again on the side that was mowed first.

These were discussed on here recently.

Thanks - this is what I was looking for. I searched on robotic lawn mowers - could not pull this thread.
