***UPDATE*** A huge shout-out to fellow Slickdealer, "Stephen.", for bringing some serious health concerns to my attention. He respectfully asked questions about the practices I explained in my original comment that led me to read up on something that I, embarrassingly, knew nothing about. Please, do not use these mowers as a way to eliminate dog poop in your yard. I was unaware of the toxic, bacterial, and parasitic contaminates that I was potentially spreading around my entire backyard.***
Honestly, this has been one of the best surprises of having a robot mower for the last 4-5 years. I have an early model Husqvarna and it just bounces around the yard randomly. Nobody ever mentioned some of the perks that come along with these things back when I did a bunch of research but the first perk is that my dog's poop gets run over repeatedly which makes it break down extremely fast. I can actually tell if there is a fresh pile because anything older than a day has already been run over a couple of times (most likely). The other unforseen perk is just as great in that I live in Georgia (near Savannah) and if you have been to the South, you know that fire ants show up all over the place. I've tried all types of solutions to get rid of them but they are resilient and new colonies form overnight. Well, because ants are an extremely intelligent insect, they respond to their colonies being disturbed by swarming. Of course, by the time they get their ant hills run over and attempt to retaliate, Lawn Swanson (the name of my mower) has already gone on about his business somewhere else. Because he continues to run over these hills, the ants determine that it is not a safe environment to maintain a colony and leave. Having the mower run around the yard about half of the day cuts down on the fire ant population by about 90% in my yard and I'm very ok with that.
Stupid question, what stops someone from just picking it up and taking it with them? Im sure it has a tracker and all, but so do all the BMWs that are stolen on a regular basis every day.
Sorry for the delayed response. This has been a hectic week and I wanted to look into the questions you asked before blindly responding. I'll go ahead and start out by saying THANK YOU! I've been a pet owner all of my life and I'm shocked that I didn't know any of this information. You are exactly right about what you said. Not only can dog poop be toxic but some of the bacteria/parasites that can thrive in it can actually survive in your yard for days, weeks, months, or even years (which is wild to think about). Growing up, we always picked up dog piles in our yard. When we moved to the country, we just used a shovel and threw them into under a tree line. Nobody ever explained anything to me about toxicity and health concerns. There was always the obvious health concern of tracking dog poop in the house or getting it on you by leaving it in the yard but I figured that biomaterial being allowed to break down quickly allowed for a natural process to take place and not that I was exacerbating one toxic location by allowing it to be spread everywhere.
I'm going to update my original post in the hopes that folks who might read it can get the more well-informed perspective and not the ignorant one I originally put out there.
Again, thank you for bringing this to my attention. My family is moving into a brand new home in about 6-8 weeks and you have just saved me from polluting that entire yard. I really do appreciate the respectful way you asked these things and now I can only hope I didn't influence anyone else to use robot mowers in the same way that I have.
How long does recharge take? I have a 3 acre lawn, so could I program 10 different zones and have the entire lawn cut once every 10 days (or 5 days if recharge happens fast enough)?
This is not for you. This will struggle to cut 1/3 an acre. Let alone that much grass with 2 weeks of growth.

When did they need a buried line? I would think these have had GPS for a while now, since that tech has been so cheap for over two decades, and way cheaper than burying a line.
I had the Robomower RL500 and RL550 which required buried wire. That was 25 years ago.

Lol, one of our neighbors has one of these and the cut looks pretty bad. It can't handle "steps" in terrain, such as a border between grass and concrete, so just leaves all those unmowed. Guy has to go out with a weed eater to finish it off (poorly) which leaves those areas a different "shade". Of course it doesn't handle edging either.

GPS is generally good to within 15-30 feet, in terms of accuracy. That can't get it done for something like mowing.

I still have one...believe it may have been one of the first items on Woot, $179 in 2004.
Yep. I got one off of Woot and bought a 2nd one to split the duties (one front yard, one back). Still have both of them but haven't used them in a long while. They turned heads back in the day.

I bring mine inside after it is done with the yard.

Observe it like you would a pet or a child. It helps to name it like that earlier poster named his lol.

Units like this have a hard maximum area limit baked into the app, so you can't map a 3-acre zone. Even if you could bypass the software, the battery and motor aren't designed for that kind of scale, and it would likely die before it even made it across the property.
The only things that handle that size are those gas-powered RC mowers, but you still have to manually pilot them. At that point, you're better off just hopping on a riding mower with a cold beer and getting it done in an afternoon.

It makes a loud audible sound (alarm if someone tries to pick it up). It has GPS tracking via 4G so you can follow it to the thief's home. The unit is attached to only one account. If someone where to somehow successfully steal it and not get a good beating by cops, the unit is locked and can't be used by another account either. The unit is basically a brick at that point.
