Glad to have found this site! We have a nearly 8-year-old Honda Miimo and are hoping to replace it this year. Would like to avoid boundary wires. Suggestions regarding which mower might be best for a little less than 0.5 acre? Thanks!

Three years in the robotic mowing trenches taught us something fast: A robot mower isn’t just a product… It’s a promise. 🤝✅ When a new mower hits the market (especially from a young company), it may look 🔥 on day one… but the real question is: 🧱 Can the company support the product long-term? Because innovation is fun… until you need: - 🧩 a critical part - 🛠️ a repair that’s not “send it back and pray” - 📦 a supply chain that actually exists - 🧾 a warranty that’s clear (and honored) - 📞 support that answers - 📲 software updates that keep coming And when you’re investing 💸💸💸 (multi-thousand dollars), the value has to be bigger than “it mows today.” 💎 Real ROI looks like: - ⏱️ years of dependable uptime - 🔁 upgrade paths, not dead ends - 🧰 repairability + parts availability - 🧑‍🔧 support teams that show up - 🧭 a roadmap that makes sense 3–5 years out That’s why we’ve been intentionally selective with our manufacturing partners. 🎯🤖 Not because we don’t love the new wave—we do. 🙌🌊 Kickstart brands and fresh entrants are exciting (and pushing the industry forward): 🚀 Ecovacs • ☀️ Sunseeker • 💨 Airseekers 🦁 LYMOW • 🔴 Anyonebot • ↗️ Mowrator But here’s our stance: 🧊 We don’t chase hype. 🏁 We chase long-haul trust. Because our job is to help you build a Lawn Without the Labor lifestyle 🌿🛋️ that lasts. So we vet brands based on the unsexy stuff that matters most: - 🏭 manufacturing consistency - 🧾 warranty systems - 📦 parts pipelines - 🧑‍🔧 service readiness - 📚 documentation + training - 🧠 product maturity + company maturity We’ll keep watching the newcomers 👀 (and cheering them on 📣). And we’ll keep doing what we’ve always done: ✅ Vet hard ✅ Test in real yards ✅ Partner with brands built for the long haul …so we can support you with confidence. 🧡🤖
