Robo mowers

[taniwharugby]

@nta since he got a part time job, he doesnt need whatever cash I offer him to do the menial jobs at home!

I can garantee if I got a robo mower, he'd want to sit and watch it with me, but I wont let him

[NTA]

@taniwharugby mine has just worked his second shift at a local Supermarket packing shelves and after the first pay cheque, he'll no doubt change his focus.

@nzzp apologies...although i also feel calling someone out is in the spirit of the fern so not sure this could have gone down differently

I can't help you with the mower. I was contemplating getting a robovac, however the wife still does a good job with the dyson

I’ve seen one in action at a workmates lifestyle block. His wife has lots of garden beds and hence there is a huge amount of lawn in funny shapes.
Couldn’t tell you the make sorry but it does a brilliant job simply because it’s mowing every day keeping the grass at a set height.
Pretty smart too. Knows where to go. Where to pick up from after a recharge. Is quiet.
Just a brilliant piece of gadget if you have a big lawn.

You mow your own lawns?

Oh SALLY!

@majorrage there is about 1200sqm of lawn to mow, loads of trees and shit to mow around and with it needing mowing every week right now...

We've had an iRobot Roomba vac for about 9 years. Bloody brilliant piece of kit.

Have looked at robot mowers but just couldn't be faffed with setting up the boundary wires etc. Been told there's some becoming available with new technology which use radio/bluetooth beacons and once the area is mapped out you're done.

@crucial This I used to have meetings every week and the business next door had one constantly going every day all day. Must have been trimming a mm at a time. Lawns looked like Wimbledon centre court on Day 1

@victor-meldrew yeah I think the ones I was looking at are Bluetooth/ gps, but are some that I saw mentioned wires and boundaries.

I can't see me ditching the ride on that soon and expect the pricing and tech will improve in the next couple of years too.
