Landscaping service vs robo-mower
Hi, i just bought a multi, and there is a substantial size lawn... I'm trying to decide if it is worth trying out robo-mower (like Husquarna automower) makes sense...
Pros:
1. given the cost of landscaping service, I will break even after one season
2. It is quiet and does not disturb tenants
3. lawn looks better and healthier (supposedly)
4. if i schedule it to mow at night, it will (hopefully) keep deer away
Cons:
1. this thing will require monthly service - just basic cleaning and blade replacement (those are very cheap)
2. risk of theft is low where I am, plus I'll add it to the property insurance, so this is a minor "con"
3. myself (or someone else) needs to get it out of the basement in the spring and put it away in the autumn.
I wonder if anyone already uses them and can share their mileage. Thanks!
