I'm considering one for my Dad's lawn. He can't cut it anymore. What didn't you like about yours?

I didn't have one, I just read the reviews and know that if I happened to have an issue (like a lot of the reviewers) it would take many months for them to fix or repair. Their CS seems to get overwhelmed in the spring/summer and you can wait on hold for hours just to get hung up on. I still love my regular mower but I wouldn't pay to be there "beta tester" for a 1st gen robotic mower.

An example of their CS- https://www.reddit.com/r/Greenworks/s/hcq2pq8TFA
FWIW, the OP in that discussion was sent a replacement pressure washer by Greenworks, but he still wasn't happy because it would take about two weeks to reach him.
I've used a fleet of Robomowers on my lawn since '04. At the peak, I had three zones, two with their own robot doing their thing while I walked a third one around to get some exercise. Of course, the RL550s and RL800s are 25-year-old technology now. But my first two cuts this year involved me walking an 800 around. They still work.
I hope I don't jinx it, but I've been converting from B&D battery-powered, and my Robomowers and I love the Greenworks 80V products. I haven't seen many Optimow users complain about the actual mower as much as the app being terrible and having to connect the mower by cell phone.
I can pay someone $100 a week during the summer to cut my Dad's grass or set up a robot that I can hopefully control with my iPhone. I still have some research to do.

I found a better price at Costco.com for what seems to be the same Optimow model. I appreciate the Costco return policy, but don't want to ship it back if I'm dissatisfied with the mower. Before buying it here, I'll contact our local warehouse to confirm I can take it back for a refund if necessary.

That's going to be a much better deal then since you have that peace of mind. I hope you never have to deal with GW customer service 🙂
