The Best Robot Lawn Mowers for 2020




If you have better things to do than use a loud gas-powered mower driving through your yard every Weekend, consider investing in a lawn mower robot and having it do the job for you. Start with some of the best we've been checking.


HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SMART LAWN MOWER

There's nothing like the freshly cut grass look and smell, but unless you pay for a professional landscaping service, you'll have to put in time to keep your lawn in tip-top shape. You can spend hours doing the work yourself, the old-fashioned way, every week or you can invest in a robot lawn mower to do the job for you.

Robot lawn mowers are fairly easy to set up and customize for lawns of all shapes and sizes, and because they are driven by rechargeable battery packs, they are super quiet, so you can let them do their thing at any hour of the day without disturbing the neighbours. But, they don't come cheap and you'll pay more for apps such as rain and anti-theft alarms, 


How Robot Lawn Mowers Work


Robot lawn mowers appear as if they were robot vacuums. It's almost like watching a Roomba run across the lawn in practice, tidying things up. Everything couldn't be more different when it comes to what's inside, however.
All mowers use a battery-operated motor with cutting blades, an AC powered base station, perimeter wire, and sensors which prevent them from wandering off your property or into the street. At one end of the perimeter wire attached to the base station antenna, the wire is placed along the side of your lawn and held in place using stakes identical to those used to pitch a tent. 

Before you buy a robotic lawn mower, you first have to figure out how much lawn it will need to cut, or how much capacity it will need to cut. Usually, suburban projects have a functional range of up to 1.25 acres. A mower used to cut broad lawns will have a high-capacity battery pack that lets it work longer and go further between charges.
