That doesn't include the money spent for your edging & trimming equipment and maintainence and assuming of course, there are no issues with the mower breaking down or not working where you'd have to spend more money to get the lawn mowed until it's repaired. Am sure they are worth it to some people.
I do know one individual in a village that has one and loves it... so far.
I believe that a "good reliable robot lawn mower" is an ....oxymoron? Moron? not happening? unrealistic? dumb idea?

I cannot get over how well the fellows and girls coming to cut our grass works and I appreciate the price and the service. If it ain't broke, don't buy another thing to gather dust in the garage.
