Robomower
Hello group,
I am new to this group and do not know if it has been a topic before, but I just want to pass on my experience with "Friendly Robotics" Robomower. If anyone has been thinking about purchasing one I would say GO FOR IT! If anyone has any questions about it I will be glad to answer them instead of filling up this post with the trivia. You can also see a lot about it at the website... http://www.friendlymachines.com/ |

First, It would take several kids to "pick it up" ( it's pretty heavy )and even if they did , it would instantly shut down and go into secure mode that requires a four digit pass code and knowing how to enter the code to activate it again. It also will not work outside of the perimeter wire. And second, you didn't **** on my parade because I was not parading anything... Just offering information to those that might be open minded enough to try an alternative way of performing a task. "John" wrote in message news:wWndb.448322$cF.144451@rwcrnsc53...

Nope... not connected to them in any way other than a very happy customer.
Bought mine through Amazon.com. . Do you sell them? -- http://NewsReader.Com/ 50 GB/Month |

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.

My front yard is about 2300 sq.ft. It takes a little less than 2 hours for the mower to complete. The run time depends on your yard and the obstacles it has to navigate around. It will almost do my front ,side and back yard on one charge.... almost. I usually set it out Friday afternoon and let it do the front then recharge that night and set it back out Saturday for the side and back yards. No, it isn't that friggin easy. You have to bury a wire first. It took me about 30 minutes to stake out the perimeter wire. In about a week the grass had completely "absorbed the wire. The mower I have does not park itself, but for about $500 versus a Huskavarna (sp?) at $2000 ,I can joystick it to and from the garage and plug in the charger. |

no offense intended, I say the parade thing whenever
I get the feeling someone is eager to buy something.. and I might have a negative comment just my first thought was about the safety factor. Sounds like a great machine. I checked out the website and watched the movies... are you going to get it? "crm" wrote in message ...

I have had the mower most of this season and waited until I really knew the product before offering comments and advice. I REALLY like it and it has performed flawlesly this year .. Sounds like a great machine. I checked out the website and watched the movies... are you going to get it? |

There are supposed to be design developments in the works so Id wait.
Would it be safe from theft? |
