Is a lower priced robot mower realistic for a 600㎡ yard?
​
I’ve been taking care of my own yard for years, but my back is starting to complain, so I’m thinking about getting a robot mower. The lawn is around 600㎡, and I’m trying to keep the cost reasonable instead of spending a huge amount on something I’m not fully sure about yet.
My main concern is reliability. I don’t need anything fancy, but I do want it to cover the whole lawn without leaving random patches everywhere. I’m also wondering how often these things get stuck, wander into places they shouldn’t, or need someone to go outside and fix them.
I’ve read a lot of mixed opinions on the more affordable models. Some people seem happy after a season, while others make it sound like they’re constantly babysitting the mower.
For anyone using a lower priced robot mower on a yard around this size, has it actually been worth it, or would you rather just hire someone to handle the mowing?
