Robomower

Wonder if there's any wisdom to share about robot mowers? Lawn isn't pristine but is improving about 250sq m. Any advice appreciated.

I bought a robot mower last year. Is there anything in particular that you had in mind?

Looking at the price of the things, I'd rather pay someone to come and mow the lawn for me (so that he could do some other gardening tasks at the same time, if needed):

I'd read both these articles. Like the idea that frequent cut & mulch improves the lawn. Not looking to spend 4 figures

We stayed with friends who had a robot mower, and must admit found it quite annoying, when it was constantly trundling around on their lawn. You are just waiting for the next time it comes around!

Noticed my post from last year....UPDATE. I bought a McCulloch Rob600 and HE is amazing. Found him affordable... on Amazon marketplace at their easter sale. Excellent customer support at setup was from Husquvana. He raised so many smiles as he did his job last summer & whilst I was recovering from surgery he was up there with the surgeon as a lifesaver! Took some time to lay wire and had to tidy up a few edge areas where he got stuck but that was good to smarten the garden up. The dogs are hilarious with him. He ran quietly all summer with no issues. Only first world problem was ... I got annoyed by the noise of my neighbours cutting their grass!!!
