Robotic Lawn Mowers
 

The robot mower industry seems to be growing and changing quickly. And cost is decreasing.

It's anyone using one on our thick St. Augustine grass?

Any local supplier experience?

Since 2007 I have only noticed one lawn robot. Our neighbors near Seabreeze bought their robot around 2014 in early release. Programming was pretty much non existent, but it did cut evenly and consistent. The problem it mowed the same exact track every time. Because of deep tracks it entered and exited from the driveway so never really got stuck.
Today as we drove past our old house, his lawn was void of deep tracks, perfect manicured lawn. He was mowing with the giant EGO rider.

Up north we have a sunseeker, cost around $1800, its cutting Kentucky Blue. So not much help.

I have seen a neighbor's house with a robot lawn mower, and it uses the exact same track to return to the charging station with the result being some serious tracks in the lawn, otherwise it appears to do a very good job. My point, check with the manufacturer to see exactly how these work, my understanding is some of the newer units use GPS to cut the grass, no idea how well this works.

You may want to put an AirTag on it … I’ve heard that some lawn mowers have been taken for a ride by porch pirates!
