The BIG LIE with robot lawn mowers - Don't fall for it.

The BIG LIE with robot lawnmowers - Don't fall for it. This is something that comes up a lot on my channel and I felt it had to be addressed. I get a lot of questions about robot lawnmowers and do I think they are good or not, and what are the good and bad points about owning one.
There is one question that continually gets asked and this video was made to address that point.
This one problem affects cool season grass.

I've had a husky mower now for 3 years and it's been one of my best ever buys. With working during the week, getting time to cut a large lawn was always a hassle, weather watching, what to do with all the cuttings, lawn mower maintenance etc. The robot mower does the cutting now, and at the weekends I've now got the time to do things like aerating, scarifying and over seeding. So thanks to my robot, my garden looks so much better than it did before as it affords me the time to take proper care of it.

My experience with robot mowers is worse than what you said. It essentially worsenes the workload especially with lateral growth and weed grasses. That is why after two years of being happy with it I got rid of it. My lawn was essentially a mess of poa triv and clover. Eventhough I verticuttet regularly I could not stop the issues. I switched to a rider that bags the clippings and the problems are essentially gone for 3 years now. I still do verticut and overseed once a year but not out of necessity.

What about for someone like me though, I have a tiny, and very badly kept lawn, the trouble for me is that I have quite a nasty grass allergy. It takes me 10 minutes to mow and strim my lawn, but that 10 minutes involves tissues having to be stuffed up my nose, to stop my nose from running all over my clothes, insanely itchy eyes, and gasping for air as my throat tightens up. I'm pretty good again half an hour or so after a shower, but I'll still have an itchy throat and mucus build up. I don't want to have to scarify my lawn because I think that would be just as bad for me as mowing it, but I'd rather suffer once a month, from cleaning the mower, than every week for most of the year. I wouldn't have much luck with hiring a gardener because with how small my garden is, it just wouldn't be worth their time.

Just pay someone for your home. No worries about the weather, no worries about charging or fuel, no space taken, no cleaning, no maintanance, no worries about warranty, don't need yet another thing to take up space when storing, no sharpening blades, no edging (which requires another purchas and maintanance, not paying from around $700 to $5,000 plus and your high priced mower will get old withing a year and somehow a new and improved mower is on the scene that you missed out on. My point: you work hard for your money. Let your hard earned money do the work for you. You get edging, mowing and blowing out the debris. Why not come home and it's done? When it's hot out, why not stay in your air conditioned home and relax after working all day? Your shed or garage has space from a lawn mower/edger and blower. All these together costs money and they get old. Paying someone will never get old and they do everything. Nobody is paying you to come home and work right after working all day for pay. Your mind is at ease and your back and body don't get sore from all that work. There is absolutley NO NEED for any so called auto mower for the money and precision you get for paying someone to do ALL that work for you. There's more but you get my point. I get mine done since 2010 and wouldnt change it a bit. We even donated our Toro and edger since then. But the downside of this is I actually have to pick up a pen and sign a check to mail. Which is more back breaking? Pushing a pen or spending 3 or more hours fiddling around with any mower and lawn care? And, it costs less over all. Please don't tell me you can't afford lawn service if you can afford all that equipment that all need maintaining.

A robot lawnmower is a huge advantage and a relief from having to mow lawns. Imagine working from Monday to Saturday and having to mow the lawn every week on Sunday, what if it rains on Sunday? Are you going out in the rain to mow with a conventional mower? On the other hand to the gardeners who charge loads of money for mowing every week or 2 times a month. The prices that our customers announce for mowing the lawn just damn well justify the lawnmower as an option for mowing the lawn. The robot does its job to mow 1mm of the grass every day and thus make "green fertilization". Conventional lawnmowers mow large grass, which must then be collected and disposed of somewhere.

I didn't know about the need to bury cables.... Interesting the lawn is raised (and notable the grass growing between the pavers and the tarmac. I think our American friends have the best solution, namely have your hard surface (concrete slab is popular stateside) at precisely the same level as the soil, enabling the lawnmower to slightly run over the hard surface and then the edges can be trimmed or disc cut (that's a scary garden attachment !) so that they are razor sharp.

Totally agree with you about your comments on robot lawnmowers I have been using one for four years and one of the features that really annoys me is the compaction it causes. It is quite a heavy unit with its batteries and motor and it sits on a pair of hard narrow wheels which power it and a small roller that acts as a skid when turning. Because it is programmed to operate on certain days and I am lazy, it is often working in rain and on wet ground, and the top couple of inches gradually gets more and more compacted. My lawn is only 400Msq and I occasionally use an electric rotary mower to clear the thatch that forms. I wouldn't get another one.

Confused, didn't u just use the big mowers to mow that lawn, and then said "look how much mess the robo mower is making", or did I understand incorrectly?

[@KennethGundersen]

I have had a very cheap ($500) robot lawn mower for 6-7 years. I did not do anything to my lawn. The fine cutted grass works as fertilizer. My lawn have never been looking this good. We had lots of moss, and I removed as much I could before starting up the mower. After that the moss disappeared. Have to mention I live in Norway, so the grass might differ some from your.

Do they have this video in English?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

English subtitles available

[@tenza7545]

I was wondering what this was about i could care less about my lawn. I'm still debating on either gallons of bleach so i didn't have to mow again or a robot mower one or the other.

[@rongustaveson4493]

I had 2 at my last house and it was the best investment I made. Didn't mowe for 3 years.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Robot mowers are the future

[@Dstromb232]

Nice video!👍

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Thanks DS 🙏

[@ryanmccallum7023]

So what was the big lie

[@Premier_lawns_official]

The big lie, is companies telling people that if you use a robot your lawn won't get thatch or need to be renovated every again

[@Js-zx2wi]

Robot lawn mowers lack the trim option thats more messy.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

👍👍👍

[@sawekparalusz6515]

Show what the lawn looks like in the place where the wire line runs without scarification. I don't see any difference...

[@insanemainstream3633]

Holy smokes had to put on closed caption for this video.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

English subtitles on all my videos haha

[@frkifrk]

that lawn looks like mine and I don't do anything extra beside mowing

[@mattking2259]

My robot mower is the best thing I have bought it cuts my lawn every day

[@Premier_lawns_official]

👍👍

[@reeanimationgaming1034]

Of course you have to also nurse your lawn when you have a robot... Should be obvious to everyone..

[@alanjenkinson7812]

Robot groundsman after that? Never!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

It's coming 🙈 loads of businesses would love to replace groundsmen with robots

[@johnsomerset1510]

Aerating, scarifying and feeding, -my arse. What a lot of work you give yourself for nothing! You don't need any of it and I expect a decent lawn robot would be bothered either . Grass grows thick and lush if you just cut it and let the clippings spray out the back of the mower, all over the lawn. The clippings soon disappear and they feed the lawn and the worms etc love the clippings and the birds love the worms. The best part is driving around on your ride-on mower. The secret is to buy a mower that will do your size of lawn within half a about hour so you don't get bored. Then you have plenty of time to sit back with a coffee and admire your handiwork.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

[@biffhenderson1144]

When a person get's too much plastic surgery, they look like hell. When a yard gets too much obsessive compulsive attention, it too can look like hell.

[@MrWouzke]

Yes! Do à robot movie

[@xxbambamxx7261]

I cut my lawn maybe 4 times a year, and it's green as can be 🤷

[@Dset]

Where the myth part 😂 not the first half of video 😂

[@freas8520]

So the problem is with the salesman, not the lawn mower itself? Why didn't you say so in the first place?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Thanks for the feedback 👍

[@GR19611]

Boundary wires are a PAIN IN THE BUTT .

[@Premier_lawns_official]

They certainly are

[@GregsMowing]

Great video, he has a tractor mower and a robot mower 🥴

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Like I said, boys and their toys !

[@sonusbonum]

I can't understand what you're saying...

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Turn on the subtitles.

[@amandapetermendez1725]

Something about Degs (dogs) and Cerrrvens (caravans).

[@padraig1994]

Robomower dpesnt collect clippings so increases thatch layer and if anything makes scarifying / aerating a more required job in my opinion

[@NicksStuff]

No idea what that guy said

[@Premier_lawns_official]

🙄

[@Swejky27]

This is when somebody pretends talking about something they have no clue 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Your talking about yourself I guess 😅 🙄

[@2greenify]

You are so wrong it's funny.🤦🏻

[@kaczordonald7536]

smashed the 👎 button

[@ferretkiller9454]

What if you hate lawn moving and you just need the stupid grass mowed? I don't care how it looks..

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Yes that will work

[@kansaIainen]

What language is this?

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Danish

[@jackkennedy9123]

Your video makes no sense given the title! Admittedly I couldn’t watch the whole thing…too much nonsense! Just click bait title!

[@Premier_lawns_official]

I explained it at the end, had you bothered to watch it. Oh well

[@deanjohnson1142]

I thought this was in english...but sometimes I think its in english while other times Im scared I may have had a stroke.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

There is a book called Mrs. Goose, Her Book and a very famous quote from it springs to mind here "It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it."

[@ronmccullock1407]

the grass clippings should always be removed to give a good lawn

[@Premier_lawns_official]

100 percent Ron 👍

[@shredder9536]

I lie in bed at night thinking about dethatching the next day

[@Premier_lawns_official]

😁🙈🙏

[@god-xu3ig]

Is that good or bad?

[@Forbes123]

Came for the robot, stayed for the accent.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

Hahaha love it! You are welcome back here anytime haha!

[@mrBDeye]

Lucky Charms marshmallow hearts moon clover their magically delicious ! Part of a complete breakfast !

[@mskmsk7174]

Try a Luba 2

[@Premier_lawns_official]

What about the yuka ?

[@HR2635]

​ @Premier_lawns_official come on... the price for your work is 100x a robot and the robot is super good for many people that are not millionaires. I own two and they work brilliantly. Cutting 15000 square feet all year round.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

You obviously didn't watch the video as it's not about that at all

[@BombSponge]

Are you crazy? He is literally maintaining a lawn for a customer that already has a robot.

[@Premier_lawns_official]

👍💚😁
