Robomower Robotic Lawn Mower - $1,049.99 Shipped - Father's Day?

This thing blows my fricken mind...I had to share it, it seems like a very solid price with free shipping from Amazon. I will get one once my house is complete!

The Robomower has the US market but I'm still leaning towards the LawnBott. Green for you simply because I hate to mow. I've had to do it ever since I was big enough to push the mower. My kids are going to get off lucky...

Really? Where? I see them on eBay from $700-900, but thought this was a good place to buy one from a retailer

I wish they had these back when I was 10, my stepdad used to make me cut grass, oh how i would have loved to save the money to buy just to sit and sip lemonade and mock him while he got p'd off. oh I can just imagine it.if when we get to heaven and we can create a fantasy, this would be it. this is the same man that used to get in my face and scream so loud his spit would hit my face, all because i listened to one of his cd's. the day he perishes i will be salivating all day just so i cant spit on his grave.

red must be from steps. treat kids like they were your own blood, thats my advice.

Uhhh....thanks!

Also from a financial perspective, it pays for itself in no time. Using my case as example, I paid this mow and blow dude $150/month to mow my lawn. I break even in 5 months. After that, it just maintenance costs such as new blades and batteries which I hope will last at least 2 years.

So do you already have one...or are you getting one?

Do people have the 850, 800 or 1000? I would prefer the docking station to recharge - just like the newer Roombas I bought. That way you don't have to plug them in manually every time (like the old Roomba I bought). It is much simpler that way.

The Robomower with the docking station is $1599 right now at Amazon, but I'm waiting for that model to go sub-1000 before I buy, or buy the "superior" (from what I've read) Lawnbott.

I'm still using the RL500 I got from Woot 3yrs ago. My wife and I love it! Best $185 I ever spent. It's our only mower now, I don't know what I'd do if it ever died. Probably drop $1,049.99 on a new one I guess. It's worth it.

Does this sneak into neighbors yard too?

I'm still using mine from Woot a couple of years ago. Love it. Battery life is getting weak though. I still enjoy watching it run around. Batteries are more than I paid for it but I'm looking at replacing them with a couple of DeepCycle Batteries that sound like they are about the same.

We have a 6 month old Pomarainian and she likes to watch it and follow it. The other day she grabbed one of her stuffed toys and dropped it in front of the mower. She jumped back and watched it schred the toy then ran around grabing the stuffing. I had to try and get it all picked up and away from her. She still drags around the toy less stuffing.


I remember it was the first item on sale @ woot.com !

I want them to come out with one that can mow 6 acres in one shot, that would be great! Awesome mower though.

READ REVIEWS!!!this thing is NOT for everyone!!and especially the dumb and dumber crowd!!did i forget LAZY!!and yet it is they that REALY NEED it's CLAIMED performance!!you WILL be disappointed!!

and, as an added bonus, in heaven these are on sale for $999.99 shipped! (please note, there will be a 5% vengeful fantasy fulfillment tax in heaven if proposition 666 passes...vote no on 666!)

Now i have seen everything .. This is awesome wish I had the $$ for it.

This is kinda prejudice if you ask me.

Think about it logically for a few minutes, $1,000 maybe expensive, but some have reported picking up similar models for $700. My relatives pay $30/month for people to mow the lawns monthly, if it was $1000, that would pay itself off in 34 months or 24 months if at $700.

Now, if you split the costs/mant. with a relative, or a neighbor this would turn out to be quite a deal.

Some people have different needs.

For those that got one of these, how well does it works in corners and odd shape lawn?

How tall of a grass can it handles?

$30/month, that is cheap. How big is your lawn? I paid $25/week and my house sit on just a little bit over 1/4 acre.

Yeah, I myself thought $30/month is cheap. It is not my house, it is my relatives. Their yard is pretty small, as is the lot. But they've been with these same guys for 10+ years. >_> They could bought a few of these.

I sure can't wait for the RoboShovel and the Roboshovel+ with salt.

Check this one out. It knocks out mowing the lawn and playing with the kids at the same time.

Probably the same jerks that pay hundreds for a washing machine instead of using rocks down at the creek...

You don't have to be lazy to use this. It gives me more time to weed, trim, plant etc. Using a power mower might have gotten the same response years ago. I remember using a push, no power anything, mower and never reminiss on those good old days.

I turn 60 in about a month and know we pay for what we get. A good lawn service now days is expensive. My 17 year old use to do it in the neighborhood for $10 an hour. I did it long ago for 50 cents a lawn.

Robo isn't perfect. I still have lots to do before and after he's done his job.
