Opinions on robot lawmowers - so many to choose from

[WabbitPoo]

Any opinions as to a non-wire boundary type to go for? Large-ish garden with several separate but accessible lawns. I want to be able to set stripe patterns.

Husqvarna seem pricey but is there a GOOD reason for this? Mammotion are being pushed at me by the algorithms of youtube.....

Have to admit I have only looked at them briefly until I learned that they do not pick up the cut grass

Its never long enough to be noticeable...apparently

The cut grass acts as mulching , my lawns too uneven , think a robot mower would get stuck .
Bought the wife both petrol and electric mowers so she has no excuses to avoid cutting the grass.

A piush mower would have given her more exercise.

I did consider a push mower but she didn’t understand the controls.

So if the robot does not pick up the grass no matter how short the clippings they will build up and clog and suffocate the growing grass which then allows weeds and moss to take hold. And that is what lawn scarifiers are for that rake out all of the natural thatch(dead dry grass } that forms in a lawn. I scarify mine every spring.
