Naturally, people who are not familiar with the robot lawn cutter have questions they want answered. I have compiled the top 5 questions regarding the subject, and have provided answers for them as well.
1. Are robotic lawn cutters dangerous? They appear so, for the uninitiated. After all, who controls them? Who would say that those razor sharp blades are still trimming grass instead of someone’s toes? Such, of course, is the primary concern of the manufacturers before lawn mower robots were released in the market. These lawn cutters possess guidance systems that inform them of the surface they are trimming. When in doubt, these lawn cutters pause and analyze the surface and its immediate surroundings. Robo lawn cutters are safe. Most of them even have an automatic shutdown feature when their blades fail to touch any grass.
2. What provides power for lawn robot cutters? Most lawn cutters have rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Just plug ‘em until they’re full, and they’re ready to go. Because of this lithium ion battery, however, robotic lawn cutters weigh 22 lbs. and up. Nevertheless, their weight is not a hindrance to their effectiveness.
3. How does an automatic lawn mower know the level of the grass that should be maintained? In most models currently available in the market, the owner has to set the blades in such a level as to achieve the desired height of grass on the lawn. The blades will maintain such level until they are readjusted.
4. How long will a robotic lawn cutter serve the household? Current models available in the market have a projected lifespan of 7 to 10 years, and possibly even more with regular care and diligent maintenance. Why so short a time, you might wonder? It’s because lithium ion batteries have a definite life cycle that, once exhausted, would render the same useless. Additionally, considering the rigorous grind of every lawn mowing session, robot lawn cutters are more likely to show immediate wear and tear.
5. Is a robot lawn cutter expensive? Quite. Expect to dole out $1000 or more for the latest model of these exquisitely designed garden helps. Lawnmowers that act on their own are by no means cheap. Nonetheless, you can be certain that these mechanical creatures are very much worth every penny you will pay for them.
