Questions people ask
How often do robot mower blades need replacing?
It depends on lawn size, debris and blade type. Check the maker's manual and enter your yearly estimate.
Do robot mowers need a paid subscription?
Not to mow. Plans add remote access over cellular, theft tracking or network RTK. Several makers include a free period.
What extras should I budget for?
A mower garage, wire repair kits on wired models, and installation if you'd rather not do it yourself.
Is a cheaper mower always cheaper to own?
Not always. A paid plan over several years can close the gap with a pricier model that includes it.
