***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.
Serious question: What limits the size yard it can handle? If I have a 1/2 acre yard, is there going to be some arbitrary function in it's software that says "nope, I'm only rated for 0.2 acres"?
How many maps can the E15 and E18 Robot Lawn Mowers support?
The E15 and E18 Robot Lawn Mowers only support the creation of 1 map per base station.Are the E15 and E18 Robot Lawn Mowers capable of working on multiple lawns?
If you have multiple lawns that are adjacent but not connected, you can use the Multi-Zone Pathway feature to plot multiple lawns on one map without having to create multiple maps.
Note: The cumulative area of all lawn areas, E15 should be less than 800 square meters, and E18 should be less than 1200 square meters.

Incorrect. Depending on the number of gps sensors and the quality, modern gps is accurate within 1-2cm, which is how drones and modern farm equipment works.
It's not "number of sensors", it's RTK. It's a special type of GPS that uses a base station as a reference point. That'll get you to within that ~2cm

I said number of sensors AND the quality, which would be referring to RTK. Expensive equipment like farming equipment usually have more than one sensor for redundancy and added accurately.

I'm a bit confused, you want the poop to be smushed and spread all over your mower? I thought it was unhealthy to have dog poop spread around your yard like that, and generally bad for the sewage system? Not trolling, asking legit questions because I would love to not have to worry about dog poop in my yard, but everything I've read is saying dog poop should be picked up and not mulched into the lawn.

Amazing response and answer. Repped for being willing to consider new ideas and being open-minded. Thank you for the confirmation!
Thanks. I took to naming any robot we have purchased. Our two robot vacuums have decals on them. One had a gold top plate so I put a red vinyl outline of the Iron Man helmet and it is known as, Stark. My other vacuum was shiny black so I originally also had Vader but my very young daughter claimed it, "scared her" so I changed it to an outline of Vision's head since it has an amber on/off button on the front that glows amber when charging and blue when running and they lined up perfectly with the forehead of the cutout. Inside, I have some Avengers. Outside, the solitary "Swanson". In a house of all girls, I have to find ways to entertain myself
honestly don't give a cr@p how good these are at cutting, after getting lyme disease from a tick picked up while lawnmowing last year (fortunately caught quickly and treated) that's not an experience I'd like to repeat and my 2014 ego mower is on it's last legs. I don't care what my yard looks like, just cutting it to comply with local rules and keep insects modestly in check. could get by with 0.2a in front and 0.2a in back but if it can only be programmed for one specific area that's probably not viable for me (or I'd have to buy 2, which is also not viable for me).
Maybe try to get another year out of the Ego relic and see if pricing continues to come down on these things.
But if I'm going to get a tick-borne illness again I hope it's at least picked up while hiking or camping, not stupid yardwork.

The E15 and E18 Robot Lawn Mowers only support the creation of 1 map per base station.Are the E15 and E18 Robot Lawn Mowers capable of working on multiple lawns?- If you have multiple lawns that are adjacent but not connected, you can use the Multi-Zone Pathway feature to plot multiple lawns on one map without having to create multiple maps.
Note: The cumulative area of all lawn areas, E15 should be less than 800 square meters, and E18 should be less than 1200 square meters.I paid him 25 bucks and my front yard is comparable to a half basketball court and my back yard is twice of that.
So I pay him 17 times each year X $25 = 425 and I am totally hassle free.
Will this thing even last for 3 years at all?
