Can Robotic Lawnmowers Save The World Or At Least You Money?
Overall rating: (N/A)
The article "Can Robotic Lawnmowers Save the World or at Least You Money?" talks about landscaping, it was released by klc.
It is common knowledge that gas powered lawn mowers are serious envrionmental polluters. It is estimated that 1 hour of lawn mower use equals driving an SUV 100 miles.
I have read that lwanmowers contribute up to 5% of the nation’s pollution.
Even more alarming comparisons and statistics can be found on the internet.
Even if you're not an environmentalist, the price of gas will definitely make you a conservationist. Gas prices continue to climb. Personally, going to the gas station with my little gas can is not a trip of leisure, it has always been a chore.
Changing the oil, air filter, and regular maintenance is not what I consider an enjoyable event.
John Deere charged me $129 one year to do all that, so it becmae a semi-annual day of bonding between me and ol’ JD.
We hierd a lawn service for a year. He did a good job but his helpers made us uneasy. They seemed frinedly whether they could speak English or not. One of the problems we had was we travel a good deal and we just didn’t beleive comfortable having strangers running around our yard knowing we were gone. There are enough elements of risk out three without inviting it to our home.
One day on the internet I came across an article for automatic lawnmowers. We ordered it with a healhty serving of skepticism for our robotic vacuum cleaner needed to be replaced more often that our landscaper’s hired hands.
It has exceeded out expectations. So much so we decdied to start selling them.
They have proven to be very low maintenance and highly reliable. They do a pertty good job cutting the yard.
Technology has advanced where batteries can at this moment power lawn mowers to do an effective job.
They can mow, go back to the charegr by them selves, and go back out again on a schedule without any help all season.
My wife and I can at this moment travel freely without the worry of a self-inflicted burglary.
We no longer have invited strangers running aruond our yard, yet we have a nicely cut lawn.
Maintenance? Once a year I change the blades. For those who live in the north the robotic lawn mower needs to be housed in the graage for the winter. Since it is all eletcric it doesn’t burn any gas or oil.
That means no pollutants so we can all breathe easier.
Robotic lawn mowers are also very qiuet. They are so quiet that they can be run at night while evrey one is asleep.
It costs about $7.00 a year in electricity to mow my yard. I used to spend more than that in one trip to fill up the gas container.
The biggest problem that we have is with our neihgbors. My goodness they love to come out and watch it work. For me the excitement has long gone and I consdier it no more of a novelty than the dishwasher.
But for reason our little robotic lawn mower continues to be the neighborhood star attraction day after day.
Robotic lawn mowers aren’t going to put John Deere or the local landscaper out of business anytime soon, but one day the do-it-yourselfers are giong to be the ones that will be the neighborhood oddity.
