Editorial Review: From the Manufacturer: The RL1000 is the ultimate RL series mower to be introduced for 2007. Not only does in include all of the great features on the RL850, it also includes a docking station and system for true automation. Simply select the day and times you want the lawn mowed and the RL1000 will do it automatically for you, day after day and week after week, truly the most efficient way to keep your lawn maintained. The RL1000 still includes all the functionality as before, manual trim mowing and the ability to drive it anywhere and even use it in other smaller areas without the docking station. This unit is also equipped with a rain sensor. This rain sensor will prevent the Robomower from coming out of its docking station and mowing if it is raining. Also, if it starts raining when the unit is mowing, the RL 1000 will return to the docking station. Features:

 Rating:  - Very pleased so far.I got this guy off-season and got him set up, running through multiple "shake-down cruises." Very few problems so far; a bit of a learning curve in setting up the perimeter, etc. But, jeez-o-pete, is he ever so cool! I may design and build a home for him, to simplify the winter storage process, but I can't wait until spring so I can truly turn him loose and see how well he performs in real life. The docs are accurate, though a bit sparse, so far. There is a growing community of dedicated ... Read More Rating:  - This Mower worthlessYou have to have a flat lot, and not many trees in there for Friendly Robo... to work. It will get stuck right by the trees, and if it rained, then you cannot use it because it gets stuck. It can not cut tall grass, and leaves some grass here and there. The worst part is the service. Mine had problem the second week, and when I called the tech. the only way he would look at it is for me to ship it to them. That is 80 to 100 dollars in shipment, and he didn't know how long it will take. You are dealing ... Read More Rating: - A good user-friendly machineI bought my Robomower about a year ago, and decided I've probably had it long enough to make a comment. My wife and I moved from our house in the city to a place in the suburbs with a half-acre lot. I spent our first summer using our walk-behind mower, but quickly decided that was for the birds. It took hours. All my neighbors had riding mowers, but I didn't want one of those. It seemed a little too stereotypically suburban. So in researching mowers I discovered the Robomower. Now, ... Read More Rating: - I wish I got a lawnbott instead.I wish I bought the Lawnbott Evolution. The lawnbott appears much faster and configurable than the RL1000. Additionally, the lawnbott seems to do better in smaller spaces. However, I purchased a RL1000 because it was about $500 cheaper than the lawnbott. So, I am stuck with it. So far, I have used the RL1000 about 3-5 times to mow since then. First impressions are that the documention is terrible. I would like to see the documenation on setting up zones improve. There are videos that suppliment the paper manual. ... Read More Rating:  - Timmy mows our lawn nowTimmy (Friendly Robotics RL1000) took over mowing our lawn August of 2005. I haven't mowed a lawn in over a year, 1 and a half growing seasons! I split up my front and back yard with a small gap so Timmy can do the front yard or the back and still make it home to his charging station. (home base is highly recommended!!!) I often start him up at 6pm and he keeps mowing until around 9:30pm and then goes to his little house for a complete re-charge for the next day. I did not choose the scheduled start option because ... Read More |
