I've seen both the floor cleaner and mower type robots before, and I'm starting to think they could be a good idea. The only major concern I have is just how automated they are. Would I need to plug it in myself or can it connect to the power for charging by itself? Do I have to tell it to cut the lawn, or can I just set a dial and it cuts it every Monday by itself? In an ideal situation, I just set it up once - then forget about it.
