For me that places the payback at about 2 years over a service. I will have to do the string trimming manually, which doesn't bother me.
Yes, YES, YES, YES! I know lawn mowing is inexpensive here, but it is not essentially free after two years.
Do you have any experience with one of these |
I took over our weed care as the services we were using for fertilization and pest control were failing miserably. I researched the robotic lawn machines but just couldn't pull the plug to purchase one over concerns of reliability, longevity, and my wife throwing me out of the house.
Logic from our experience with robot vacuums. 1st one noisy beat the legs of the furniture & baseboards up kept getting stuck in places that were hard to find. 2nd one was quieter, not as abusive to the furniture but kept getting stuck. Ah 3rd one good ole R2D2 does a great job quiet, treats the furniture with kid gloves and always makes it home to the docking station.
Then there are my drones.....another story
My wife, best friend, financial advisor, & smart one in the house said she wasn't going through that process again and forbid me from purchasing a robotic lawn machine. Since happy wife happy live I got a real nice battery lawn mower by EGO. No robot in her yard just a EGO and its I-dot...LOL (She really does put up with a lot of my high tech gadgets & bright ideas....poor woman)
Please keep us updated as if one turns out to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, I may reevaluate our situation and run in by my best half.
