This Robotic Lawn Mower Is Designed To Mow Entirely By Itself
December 2nd, 2017
Every homeowner knows the back breaking labor that is involved in owning a home. For those with large yards, or any yard, the task of mowing the lawn is an all too familiar pain in the rear. Everyone wants a nice looking home, but maintaining the yard yourself can be a time consuming pain. Imagine if there were a lawn mower that could do all the work for you with the push of a button. Think it is impossible? Think again! The RoboMower robotic lawn mower is here to save you from another summer of sweating while you push your gas mower around the yard. The RoboMower is a electric lawn mower that is capable of mowing up to 10,800 square feet on a single 24 charge.
The mower has on-board sensors to help avoid obstacles and stays within a predetermined range established by a guideline that comes included with the mower. All you need to do is charge the mower, set up the guides, and press “go”. For those with children around the home, there is no need to worry because the unit comes with a child safety lock to prevent accidents. There are a handful of other robotic lawn mowers available on the market, but many of them cost two times the amount of the RoboMower. The major difference between available robotic mowers is the amount of space they are designed to mow on one charge. While many online reviewers were pleased with this robotic mower, a large number of users found the unit to be unreliable. The biggest complaint from reviewers was the high cost of maintaining their mower as sensors and other expensive equipment did not last long. Only time will tell if the Friendly Robotics electric robotic automower is a big hit, but for many it is likely to be a purchase that provides rewards for years to come.
