These Robot Lawn Mowers Will Change Your Life

If you'd rather spend more time by the pool sipping on a chilled glass of lemonade than behind a loud mower, you should really look into splurging for a robotic lawn mower. (Of course, you could always just hire a landscaping crew, but let's face it - that's just not as cool.)

Models vary in price, but they typically start at around $1,000. Depending on their feature set and coverage, you can spend several thousand dollars on one. Like robot vacuums, their yard-clipping equivalents are meant to maintain your space, not cut the grass to make it look like a professional golf course. It's also worth mentioning that most robot lawn mowers require you (or someone else) to create a perimeter using wires around your yard. Think of it like an underground, invisible fence -that way the robot mower knows where to stop cutting.
