Ohhhhhhh........

http://www.toptenreviews.com/home/outdoor/best-robot-lawn-mowers/

I'm so going shopping.

Just need my hubby's approval for this and of course his credit card Cool

Damn!

These mowers are still too new to the Australian market.

They're only just being introduced.

Chances are they'll improve in terms of price and specs over the next few years.

So hubby says no...for now Cry

Plus our existing mower is still kinda new.

Grrrrrrr. Hate it when he's right Tongue

How much lawn do you have?

about 400 square meters.

Mines 80, I get by with this, only takes 10 mins.

Good exercise and a sense of accomplishment. The same for vacuuming the carpet. You just don't know how good a job each piece of equipment is going to do compared to yourself.

Huge front n back yard here.

But you're right...it's great exercise and you do feel a sense of accomplishment.....when these jobs are done properly.

I have a huge backyard too. Not big enough for a ride on mower. But big enough to have me take an hour to complete properly. But it seems ridiculous to spend a couple thousand on an automatic mower.

If I don't use a catcher I can do mine in 35 minutes.
I find it's easier to do the front yard one day & the backyard the next day.
