If you find mowing your lawn tiresome and think that your time could be better spent elsewhere, there could be a solution.

Have you ever considered an automatic or robotic lawn mower?

Automatic lawnmowers can roam around your yard trimming your lawn while you are doing something much more exciting, it could be doing it while you are sleeping if you so wished! You can programme your mower to mow on specific days and at specific times so you never need to worry about remembering to switch it on.

A robotic mower runs on a battery powered electric motor, which it can recharge automatically when it is running low, or whilst it is docking. It can mow up to nearly an acre on one charge. There are no cords or cables to look out for either.

To set up the area you wish to be mowed, you simply establish your perimeters using the supplied wire, more can be purchased separately if needed. The mower can sense objects such as trees and hedges and will operate around them. It can even operate on a slope or uneven ground. The automatic mower moves across the lawn in a crisscross pattern from different angles so it cuts the whole area that you have selected.

The automatic mowers do not have collection boxes, instead they maintain the lawn by trimming the grass and leaving the cuttings as mulch, this adds vital nutrients to your lawn, thus making it much healthier.

Not only is it good for your lawn, they are good for the environment, with no oils or gas to worry about they really cut down on pollution.

The mowers safety features include child safety locks, anti-theft locks, and sensors that will steer the mower away from any object that might get in its path, such as a small child or pet.

Mowers range in price upwards of a thousand US dollars, but considering the time and effort saved they can work out as a great investment.
