Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I got my RoboMower in June of 2005 and other than one breakdown it has performed perfectly for me.
I have 12,000 Sq Ft of very level lawn (newly landscaped and graded yard) with no obstructions. The RoboMower comes out every night at 5:00PM, mows for a few hours, and comes back without issue. It's the hit of the neighborhood.
Laying the perimeter wire was a pain. At first I just laid it out and used the stakes to keep it down. I figured there was a 50/50 chance I'd be returning the unit (low expectations!) and I didn't want to spend the time burying the wire. After a couple of weeks I decided the unit was a keeper and I buried the wire - which took all day.
Suggestion: keep the box in case you need to ship the unit back. If you have the box they'll pay for shipping. It's a pretty bulky shipment, so it'll be hard to find a box that can safely ship it back.
Bottom line: My yard looks like a golf course every day. The quality of the mow is excellent.
Even if the unit broke every three years, I'd keep buying them. Having a mowing service would cost me $1,200/year ($60/week, 5 months a year) and the lawn would start to look shaggy a few days after mowing. With the RoboMower it looks perfect every day. A riding lawnmower would have cost me more, would cost more to maintain, and would still require me to mow my lawn myself every week. For me, it's a no-brainer.
Also, keep in mind that a lot of reviews are for older models. I have the 1000 version that automatically docks itself.

Imagine relaxing on your porch with your family instead of mowing the lawn. With the innovative Friendly Robotics Robomow RL1000 with Base Station, you can turn your dreams into an eco-friendly, wallet-friendly reality. This top-of-the-line fully automatic lawnmower cuts grass all by itself, so you can get a vacation from mowing--forever! Just schedule a weekly program for a beautifully manicured lawn.
Automatic Lawnmower Does All the Work for YouDesigned for lawns measuring from 12,900 to 17,200 square feet, the Robomow RL1000 is an automatic lawnmower that cuts grass all by itself. The RL1000 mows on its own within a boundary that you outline with a thin wire (included).
Once you handle the initial wire setup, all you have to do is schedule a weekly program, and sit back, relax, and mow! The Robomow RL1000 will depart from its Base Station on your chosen days and times, and it will enter your lawn from as many as four preselected points.
When it's done mowing, the Robomow RL1000 will return to the Base Station for charging until the next scheduled operation. With this mower, you can be your lawn will be maintained, even when you're busy or away from home.
User-Friendly Features for a Beautiful LawnThe Robomow RL1000 is packed with great features, including an exclusive drop-and-go 24-volt battery that lets the mower operate for four hours on a single charge. It also offers on-board charging, an LCD operating panel, a theft-deterrent system, and a docking station for true automation.
To keep your lawn looking beautiful, the RL1000 features knobby wheels that tackle high grass and sloping or bumpy ground, touch-sensitive bumpers, and triple chamber mulching. Easy to set, its 21-inch deck delivers a 1.75- to 3.25-inch height of cut with the high-cut blades and 1.0- to 2.5-inch cut with the low-cut blades. Additionally, the Robomow RL1000 has an edge mode and manual-trim mode for creating a manicured look.
Weatherproof Plastic-and-Steel ConstructionBoasting heavy-duty plastic-and-steel construction, this fully weatherproof, all-season unit is UV protected and comes equipped with a rain sensor that will prevent the Robomow RL1000 from coming out of its docking station and mowing during a rain shower. And if it starts raining when the unit is mowing, the RL1000 will immediately return to the docking station.
Eco-Friendly, Wallet-Friendly ChoiceUnlike conventional lawn mowers that pollute as much as 40 late-model cars in just one hour of use, Robomow RL1000 offers a way to keep your lawn looking great without sacrificing the environment.
The Robomow RL1000 doesn't simply cut your grass--it repurposes the clippings through a patented process called grasscycling. The mower cuts grass into fine clippings and disperses the cuttings over the ground. These clippings quickly decompose and release valuable nutrients and water into the soil, resulting in a better-looking lawn. Grasscycling also leads to a deeper, healthier root system that increases your lawn's resistance to disease, drought, and insects, and it reduces the amount of water your lawn needs by as much as 85%.
And because the eco-friendly Robomow RL1000 doesn't require gas, oil, tune-ups, or spark plugs, it will save you money.
Dimensions and Warranty InformationThe RL1000 measures 26.0 x 12.5 x 35.0 inches (WxHxD), weighs 50 pounds (without battery), and comes with a two-year warranty on the unit and a one-year warranty on the battery.
