The new automatic lawnmower distributor in the UK is making sure that these mowers are an accepted part of gardening and it will become as normal to own one as it is to own a computer.
In the more affluent countries of the Western world these robots have been working hard and giving off no emissions for many years and soon this will be the case in the UK once the advantages of automatic lawnmowers are understood.
As petrol lawnmowers (one of the worst offenders) are replaced robot lawnmowers will be the ethical choice of gardeners.
Most people accept Climate Change as fact but as I have just explained petrol mowers are one of the worst polluters.
An hour of use emits the same amount of pollutants as that of a car going 3,500 miles? So obviously by using an automatic lawnmower instead of a petrol mower gardeners can make an enormous difference.
Also, there is no petrol to buy or store and of course, no human effort needed.
It is important to know which size robot is needed to cope with any lawn as there are many different models.
Also there are different makes of automatic mowers and a comparison search would be well worth while.
Noise would be one aspect to look out for.
As these mowers cut automatically as many times a week as needed to keep a lawn looking pristine, it would be extremely annoying if the robot was a noisy one, disturbing the peace of a lovely summer afternoon.
Another point to look out for is - how many blades does the robot mower have.
If it has more than one the chances are that if the grass is damp, the clippings will clog up between the blades where they overlap.
The best type have one star shaped blade so this cannot happen.
The grip on the wheels is important as an automatic mower can cut slopes up to 30 degrees and it would be unfortunate if, through lack of grip, it got stuck half way up.
Four acres is the largest lawn catered for and the model cutting this size would have two batteries which are lithium and allow the mower to operate for many hours without needing to be recharged.
The way these robot lawnmowers work is unbelievable until seen, and a video demonstration on the internet will give a good indication as to how very 'clever' these robots are! I have used an autolawnmower for three years so know how liberating it is to be able to forget about having to cut the lawn - before it rains, before the visitors come etc.
I know my lawn will always look lovely.
Some models can be activated from a bluetooth enabled mobile phone so no worries if you are unable to get home for a time.
The technology is amazing and will surely be accepted as the norm very quickly as indeed they already are elsewhere in the world.
A look at a video will at first amaze, then get thoughts of owning one as being the most sensible thing to do to save time, money and the planet.
