Robot Lawn Mowers

From Robotic Vacuums to Floorwashers to Lawn Mowers. In recent time, the competition in Robot Lawn Mowers has grown a lot. The companies sees the potential in the fact that nobody really want to or have time to mowe their lawn. People wanna do what they wanna do, and not chores that can be avoided.
The main competition, the way I see it is from:
1550$ at the time of writing.


Friendly Robotics - the creators of the Robomow. A company that was originally started in 1995. The Robomow series are propably the most popular robot lawn mowers out their and their product line is big enough to interest most people. This particular model the RM400 has a charging bay, removing the need to bring the unit inside the house for charging.



1199$ at time of writing
Kyodo America Industries Co., Ltd - This company, established in 1996, offers a somewhat unique product called the "LawnBott LB1200 Spyder Robotic Cordless Electric Lawn Mower". Besides scarrying the hell out of cats and dogs its pretty advanced. With 6 sensors, 3 in the front and 3 in the back. It can detect wether or not it approaches living grass, if it nears dead grass, concrete, dirt or rocks it goes into another direction. It can run up to 5 hours on a charge and is weather proof. Looks like a though mean machine too!


2399$ at the time of writing
Husqvarna - The Husqvarna Group is the world's largest producer of outdoor power products including chainsaws, trimmers, lawn mowers and garden tractors. Their experience and expertice are also woth noting when it comes to Robotic Lawn Mowers. The model below is called Automower 220 AC. for 2399$ its nowhere near cheap, but it has features like, automatically finding its charging bay (like Robomow above) and a build quality that is close to outstanding. For the price however I think it only captures the interest of the few.
