Boyz, I think I'm in love or maybe lust

I'm definitely in love and lust with the concept, but my yard unfortunately would require me to still have to get out and mow the parts it wouldn't be able to handle.
An automatic mower for when its 90+ along with heat indexes?? Hells to the GD yes!!
The biggest issue I've heard with those automatic mowers are people coming by and stealing them.
My ex-neighbor had a robot mower. I tried to get him to reprogram it to mow my front yard too but he never did
I’d love to see a study that compares the increase in technology to the increase in obesity.
I bet there’s a pretty strong correlation.

I see why he's your ex-neighbor.
At $4k+ it damn well better bring you beer AND pizza.
My bet is those 36 volt batteries ain't cheap either, and my bet is they don't last very long - maybe 5 years tops if you're lucky.
Who's he paying to do his yard for $200/month?
I've never paid close to that from what I can remember.
And $4200, with ONLY a 2 yr warranty??? I'd bank on repairs costing $500-1000 a pop, and if they truly "believe" in their product, they'd offer 5 or more.
Cool technology, and that is an impressive system, BUT that guy's numbers are off.
You will either have to maintain the edging and trimming or hire someone to do it, I doubt many people even in LA are paying 200 for mow only.
additionally
how many water breaks is that woke bastard going to want each time it needs a charge?

It won't weed
It won't fertilize (that I saw)
It won't edge
It won't aerate
It won't dethatch
Not seeing it mulching and emptying a bag
Cool gadget that lasts 2-3 yrs, then becomes too dysfunctional to run anymore and ends up in a landfill.
My neighborhood will never run out of 10-15 yr old kids wanting to make a few summer $$.
I am going to buy one to mow my dirt…setting up a beer stand and folding lawn chairs for spectators
Attach a leash & train it to walk your dog.
There an attachment to pick up & bag poop?
That's basically what happened to the humans in Wall-E. I would say it is a prophetic as Idiocracy or 1984.
I have a neighbor who has a robot mower and his lawn looks like crap. It's in a constant state of "partially" mowed because the grass grows FAST this time of year in Florida. The robot can't keep up.
Wow, impressive catalog in that brain of yours.That's basically what happened to the humans in Wall-E. I would say it is a prophetic as Idiocracy or 1984.
I funny thing about mowing is sometimes I love it, nice getaway from the family for a bit, and other times I loath it (it's 85 humid and gnaty)
Well, I guess I'll me needing a new mower. The self-propel stopped working last week, and sometimes made some odd sounds. Today it started smoking a couple of times. Quite the effort going up the hills in the backyard.
I looked at the serial number and it told me it was manufactured in 1998, the year we bought our first home. I'm 53, so I've been pushing that thing essentially half my life. Give credit to Sears Craftsman. And this will drive some crazy on this board, but I never had maintenance done on it; never had the blades sharpened. Just put oil in it every spring.

I'm too busy sewing my own clothes to play Xbox.
Because I'm a man.
It'll weed out the weaker, slower kids to spare resources for the more fit ones...
