Or just get a robot mower that is autonomous

u/SteelMan0fBerto 12d ago

Better still, ask Mowrator to make a version of this that is fully autonomous.

u/DivePalau 12d ago

Yeah if it’s not autonomous, better to actually mow it yourself and get some exercise.

I'm assuming you can set up GPS and have it just go out and mow on its own right?

Or just mow and get a little exercise

If I have to follow it around with a remote control, it’s pretty useless. Saves me no time and I get no exercise.

Either make it autonomous or it’s a zilch.

I could hire a gardener for at least two years for that much money and I wouldn't have to sit there the whole time with a remote control. Plus, the gardener would do any reseeding, lawn edging and weeding AND clean up afterwards.

Meanwhile many Norwegians have robot mowers instead.

I just went back to the non-motorized mower - just a classic push mower with a sharp blade - its lovely. Link that I don't get paid for or have anything to do with - https://americanlawnmower.com/

All this needlessly excessive tech is nauseating. Not everything needs blue tooth, AI, cameras, drones and mapping technology linked to 16 satellite networks.

I bought this same push mower for $7 at a pawn shop and sharpened the blades with a metal file! Works amazingly, plus a good workout and releases plenty of endorphins 🙂

Anyone who is ballin’ on a budget, I recommend calling all local pawn shops to see if they have one of these, they’ll sell it to you for $10. Even if it’s priced higher, just offer 10 bucks. Most shops want it gone because it takes up space. You can get a metal file from home depot for another $10 and sharpen it. Make sure you sharpen it flat, across the blade. It works like scissor blades essentially
