Everything is automated nowadays. Seems like every manufacturer's aim in innovating a product is to make it all faster and simpler. Surprisingly, robot mowers have been around for a few years now. You thought that mowing the lawns was a breeze after those industrial machines came out right?

Well, those became obsolete with the appearance of these intelligent robotic lawn mowers. Imagine mowing the lawn right there under the cool shade of your front porch. All you need is to push the button on the remote, look at the robotic lawn mower, and make sure it is right where the grass is thick.

The robotic lawn mower effectively mows lawn of regular size, within its average run time of 2 hours. But it depends on the power of the mower, of course. The bigger it is, the longer the run time it will have. The Zuchetti Ambrogio Evolution is equipped with a rechargeable Lithium battery to power up the blades and runs for 2 hours.

For the robotic lawn mower to be within the area, you would have to setup a perimeter wire. Some wires can be placed below the surface of your lawn. Although this sounds to be a taxing job, you can do it in less than an hour if you have a relatively small yard. The wires are detected by the robotic lawn mower making it follow along it or turn the other way.

You wouldn't want it straying away towards your neighbor's lawn, would you? With this perimeter fence, you can protect your flowerbeds and garden. Run the wire around it and the robotic lawn mower would leave it alone. Slopes up to 28 degrees should be tolerable for a robotic lawn mower such as the Zucchetti Ambrogio Evolution. Protruding tree roots should not be a problem either. With its robotic blades, the lawn mower would run around the perimeter wires first and proceed to the middle area, moving in a V pattern.

This means that the robotic lawn mower might cover a certain area multiple times while missing a certain part several times over. Looking on the bright side, you're not the one getting tired anyway. The cost of the robotic lawn mower doesn't seem to be an issue. It actually costs less than those heavy-duty regular lawn mowers. The Zucchetti Ambrogio Evolution retails for CA $2,899.99 at RobotShop.ca. Given that, if and when you feel that your old trusty lawn mower needs back up or even a replacement, trying the robotic lawn mower might be a good idea.

Robotic lawn mowers sure catch attention. Well, you can always ask your neighbour or pay a kid to trim your lawn, but one way or another, you would have to do it yourself sometimes. And with the robotic lawn mower just waiting for orders at your backyard, lawn mowing is now almost effortless.
