DARK SECRETS: Robot mower vs push mower which is best | Vintage Vibes

A robot lawnmower mowing grass next to a border.

I've tested lawnmowers for years, and I love my job, but even I have days when I can't face mowing the lawn. We've all had times when we'd rather do anything else; the sun is beating down, the engine won't turn over, and you have hours of pushing a mower up and down the same old patch of yard stretching out before you.

You may have considered a robot mower if you can't face another afternoon's mowing. These sound like a no-brainer; a 'Jetsons-esque' solution to yardwork, tidying your lawn while you kick your feet up and relax. However, robot mowers can have a lot of drawbacks, so it pays to properly understand how they work, and compare them to other types of lawnmowers, before you buy.
