Robot Mowers - Your Lawn's New Best Friend

Husqvarna Automower, an autonomous robot lawn mower.

Welcome to the future of lawn care - automowers, or robot mowers! Automowers are a revolutionary way of keeping your lawn healthy and looking polished with minimal effort and reduced environmental impact. Let's explore the benefits of using an automower to keep your lawn beautiful and healthy. We'll look at what an automower is, and why the benefits make them the go-to choice for an easy, efficient, and cost-effective way of maintaining their lawn. So, let's get started and explore why automowers are your lawn's new best friend!

Introducing the robot mower

Robot mowers have been around since the early 1990s and have come a long way since then. In 1995, Husqvarna released the Automower, the world’s first commercial robotic lawn mower. This revolutionary machine was designed to automate lawn care and make life easier for homeowners.

Today, there are many different models of robot mowers on the market. Husqvarna’s automowers are still some of the most popular, offering features such as GPS navigation, built-in Wi-Fi, and programmable schedule options. And they can cover a lot of ground: Husqvarna's 450X Automower can keep up to an acre and a quarter of lawn mowed with little or no effort from you!

How do robot mowers work?

Robot mowers are self-guided lawn care machines that can make your life easier. These high-tech robots are programmed to autonomously mow your lawn without you needing to lift a finger.

Robot mowers use boundary wires and sensors to navigate within the perimeters of your lawn, constantly cutting your grass to your preferred height. Thanks to its sensors, it can detect obstacles in its path, like trees and fences, and adjust its cutting pattern to avoid them. It also senses when it's low on battery charge, and will automatically return to its charging station to recharge. Once charged, it returns to its mowing duties.

The robot mower runs on a schedule, so you don't have to worry about setting aside time each week to mow your lawn. Plus, because it runs constantly and cuts grass blades at a consistent height, it helps keep your lawn healthy and manicured looking all season long. The tiny grass clippings drop to the ground, enriching the soil as a natural fertilizer. No more shaggy, needs-a-haircut days for your lawn. With an automower, your lawn always has that just-cut look.

Hey Alexa, mow the lawn

If you use smart home devices like Alexa or Google Home, autonomous mowers can be controlled with routines. Specialized settings in the companion mobile app can also adjust mowing frequency based on local weather.

robot mowers are green technology

Robot mowers are among the greenest technology in lawn care, offering several advantages over traditional gas-powered mowers. For starters, robot mowers are powered solely by rechargeable batteries. This means they are more environmentally friendly than gas-powered mowers, emitting no harmful pollutants.

Another advantage of using a robot mower is its quiet operation. Operating at about 60 dB (the level of a quiet conversation), it won't wake a baby or disrupt your neighbor’s BBQ.

In addition, you can program a robot mower to mow at specific times, giving you more control over your lawn care schedule. The operation can be paused manually or by schedule to allow the use of the lawn for play or relaxation. Once programmed and set up, these devices can take care of the bulk of your regular lawn care. You'll have your weekends free and a beautiful lawn every time you come home.

Are robot mowers safe?

Robot mowers are designed to be just as safe, if not safer than traditional gas or electric lawnmowers.

The blades are small, and on many robot mowers, they will fold away if they contact a rigid object. While still sharp, they are much less likely to cause catastrophic injury like traditional mower blades can.

Robot mowers have bumpers that act as shields to protect the blades from hitting any rocks, sticks, or other objects in the yard. If they do come into contact with something, they will stop and back away from the obstacle. Additionally, most models have an automated shut-off feature that will stop the mower if lifted.

Finally, automowers are programmed to operate within a specified area, so you don’t have to worry about your robot mower accidentally wandering onto your neighbor’s lawn or into the street.

Overall, robot mowers offer many advantages over traditional gas-powered mowers and make lawn care a breeze. They are efficient, safe, reliable, and require minimal effort to operate. Plus, they save energy and money while helping to reduce emissions. An automower will not be just your lawn's new best friend, but yours too!
