At Lowes in lady lake, there is an excellent employee who gives you the in and outs about every lawn item in existence. The ones they sell, and any brand they don’t. When we lost our 9th lawn company, due to lack of mowing, and still sending bills, we decided to mow our own.

But grass in Florida isn’t the same as our beloved Kentucky Blue Grass. So with little knowledge of the crunchy, sharp, wide blade running grass, we went to an expert.

The robot mowers are handy, but if the model will only mow the same way every time, within a month you will have permanent tracks in the lawn. At $2500 and above, the mower does a good job, but will need to be run about every 3-4 days to keep up with the dense St A grass.

Gave us suggestions, and pointed our gas works better on ST A grass, as does the higher end electric. Since we didn’t want to store gas, we bought at his recommendation the middle ego model. Battery is about an hour, and can mow one of our properties in 45 minutes, and the other in hour and 15. So quick charge, while I edge and blow lawn ( both ego) and finish last few swipes. Does an excellent job, and walking behind is better excuse than no exercise.
