My problem with them was they never seemed to be able to handle a yard large enough in order to justify their price.
Comment on Any self hosted robotic lawn mowers?
irmadlad@lemmy.world 5 days ago That’s pretty interesting. I remember when ‘robotic mowers’ became a buzz word way back when. They just never seemed to really take off on a mass consumer level or maybe I just haven’t noticed. Now something like a DeepKron would interest me.

Sometimes, I envy you guys with your smaller lawns. I’ve got about 4 acres of ‘lawn’ which is partially taken up with a large set of raised vegetable gardens, goat and chicken pens, A couple acres to raise a few head of cattle on, then scrub brush and woods, and then 15 acres of farmland.

And you need a robotic lawn mower? Use cattle as lawn mowers … Free fertilizer too

Mine is 8100. Everything I was looking at, at that time, could only handle half at best.

That’s not a lawn. It’s a field you can grow crops on. You need John’s Deers…

You can easily get several models capable of more than that now, but they’re pricy.

There’s a lot more options now. A family member got one like a year ago and loves it.
I have own, it’s been running for like 5 years now and I have never mowed my lawn manually more than one per year.
Overall it’s not zero work and maintenance, you still need to do stuff. But like 1/10th of how much time and effort it took before
