Thanks for sharing your experiace. I have just ordered this model and am looking forward to watching it do the work for me.

Have fun! I really love ours. It's so satisfying to see the lawn mowed every day. No long days. 😂

@@doityourselfdanielle Do you mow every day? If not, what is your schedule?

[@doityourselfdanielle]

@@bobdegood71 it mows on its own schedule. I think it even adjusts based on if it rained or not. I don't completely understand the sensors. But it runs a few times a week minimum. Keeps the grass nice and short, no fluff leftover.

@@doityourselfdanielle How long will it mow on a charge and how long does it take to recharge?

[@doityourselfdanielle]

@@bobdegood71 I had to look up that answer- apparently around an hour with an hour recharge time (according to Google). I have never timed it, it seems like it runs a really long time... And it's so hands off once it's setup properly that I mostly just enjoy the results.

Have you changed the mound and has your lawn gotten greener since you’ve started using it? I’m looking forward to owning one myself soon.

We had to pack it away for winter. By the time I got the mower, our weather was fairly dry and it was late for our season. We had a few good weeks of running it but we didn't have tons of grass growth at the time. Finally I decided to pack it away as we hit cold weather and snow. :) Can't wait to give it a try again in the spring though!

Apologies if I missed it, but how does it handle dog poop?

[@doityourselfdanielle]

Mostly just smooshes it. I imagine if you have a super large breed dog, it might get kinda icky or just cut it up like the grass. We have two medium size dogs though (30-50 lbs).

Thought we might see it running - can you make a video of it cutting grass?

[@doityourselfdanielle]

I made another video of it cutting grass just for you! :) Aug 22 posted.

Can it go over a drive way into a different section of yard?

[@doityourselfdanielle]

Not that I know of because you have to bury the wire. Most people try to plot a path around the driveway. I've also seen people buy two smaller auto mowers rather than buying a big one. Then they have one mow the back of the yard and one mow the front of the yard.
