Will the Automower cope with my uneven lawn?

Due to the large driving wheels, the Automower can cope with uneven surfaces very well. Only small deep holes may cause the Automower to get stuck. The Automower is small enough to follow the curvature of a rough lawn. It will not scalp the “hills” like many larger mowers.

Only a lazy self absorbed metrosexual yuppy with too much money and not enough brains would own and use something like that. :D just poking fun!!



I had one of these for 8 years, paid $400 for it brand new. Change the spark plug every other year, clean the air filter every spring, drain the gas and oil every fall, and sharpen the blade once a year. Sucks that the ex has the house and my lawn mower now. I used to enjoy cutting my grass. Nothing like sitting in a chair drinking a cold beer after mowing the yard. That's when you know you've done some honest work.

  Maybe I am disabled or have allergies or I am elderly? Do you know??? I think not.
