RoboMower^®

It's time you traded in your old mower for a hammock.
Once you set it up, there's little else to do. Just lay the wire around the outer edges of your lawn. Then connect it to a small perimeter switch. Because the wire will soon be covered by grass, you'll never know it's there. But the Robomower® will, and that's all that matters. Now, turn on the perimeter switch and find yourself a comfortable chair or hammock. Your Robomower will take care of the rest.

What about obstacles?
No problem. Like the smart mower it is, the Robomower's patented technology, RoboScan®, allows it to negotiate and mow around obstacles. And because it mows in a triangular pattern from many different directions, it'll cut any lawn, regardless of its geometric shape.

It's time you got to know its sensitive side.
The Robomower is loaded with innovative sensors. Like the mower's wire sensors that recognize the active perimeter wire, preventing it from venturing outside the predetermined area. Then there are tactile bumpers that recognize solid obstacles and change direction upon touching them, while a drop off mechanism automatically stops the blades if the front end of the mower is lifted upward.

To sum it up.
The Robomower is fully automatic. Just press a button and it does the rest. Since it operates on a rechargeable power pack, there's no need for oil or gas. And because it mulches as it mows, there's no need for backbreaking grass bagging either. Finally, it's so quiet you'll hardly know the Robomower is there. That is, until you see the results of its handy work.

The RoboMower is the next step in mowing evolution. The RL800 is a fully automatic lawn mower that is designed to autonomously mow your lawn simply by pressing a button. The RoboMower has a full 21-inch width of cut, and can handle mowing the same types, thickness and heights of grass that a traditional gas walk mower can handle. The RoboMower is a cut-on-demand mower, meaning you choose when and how often to cut.

It features a cutting system that delivers a full 5.5 HP equivalent power at the blades. It is a dedicated mulching mower that mulches far better than a traditional mower because of the Triple-Chamber-Mulching system with a full 5800-RPM blade speed, almost twice that of a gas walk mower.

How does it work?

A single wire is pegged around the perimeter of the lawn. A low voltage signal is carried through the wire, establishing a 'virtual fence' for the RoboMower to operate within. It cannot operate without the signal in the wire and will only operate within the area defined by the wire. The RoboMower uses an on-board navigation system using the magnetic field of the earth to determine the most efficient method of mowing any given lawn. The RoboMower is constantly measuring aspects of the lawn to insure the most effective path and direction.

What are the benefits?

• Free time. No more spending your Saturday mowing the lawn. Now spend your free time with the family, the kids, working in the garden, watching TV, golfing or even sleeping!

• Safe. Automatic mowing, combined with exclusive safety features not found on other mowers, makes RoboMower a safer way to mow your lawn, period! Sensor equipped bumpers, mower lift detection, child lock, captive blades and exclusive triple chamber mulching chambers all provide significant levels of safety over other mowers. Anti-theft system helps deter theft.

• Lawn health. Automatic mowing, by virtue of mowing the grass blades in several directions in each mowing is healthier for the lawn. The superior mulching of the RoboMower returns the nutrients to the lawn where they belong.
   

• Environmentally friendly. No gas, no oil, no emissions and virtually silent.
   

• Economical. Lower cost of ownership than traditional gas mowers - no tune-ups, fuel, oil changes and other normal repairs to worry about. Power pack life of 2-3 years and annual blade replacement are the only costs for using the RoboMower. Electricity usage for re-powering the power pack is less than $7.00 per year.

• Simple. Easy to use, no programming or complicated set-up requirements. Easy one time set-up of the wire in about 2 hours using only a hammer. Wire will disappear from sight in about two weeks.

Who can use the RoboMower?
    The RoboMower is ideally suited for anyone that is currently using a walk behind mower to mow their lawn. The average customer using a walk behind is cutting about 4,000-5,000 square feet of grass. This is normally lot sizes of ˝ acre and less, the typical suburban home. The RoboMower is capable of mowing approximately 6,000 square feet of grass in a single session, making it a perfect replacement for the walk mower. Many consumers use a lawn service because they have little time to mow their lawn. RoboMower can now save them that same time and a lot of money as well.
    Many people enjoy working in their lawn or garden, but not mowing the lawn. RoboMower is the perfect answer. There are even those that use RoboMower that are physically disabled or suffer from severe allergies to normal mowing, allowing RoboMower to enhance the quality and freedom of their life.

What about trees and other obstacles in the lawn?
    Trees and any other obstacles in the lawn are no problem for the RoboMower. The front and rear bumpers are equipped with low force sensors that allow the RoboMower to detect and work around most obstacles. Other obstacles, or areas such as flower beds or landscaped areas are excluded from the mowing area using the perimeter wire when performing the one time setup. Either way, RoboMower can easily handle lawns with obstacles and other landscaped areas.

Tell me a little more about Automatic Mowing?
    Automatic mowing is a different 'mindset' to mowing, different from how we are accustomed to mowing our lawns today. We normally get out and mow it all in one session, spending the bulk of our free day off mowing the lawn. It is important to understand that automatic mowing is different, but in this case different is better. While the RoboMower is a breakthrough in technical design, it is no different than how the normal evolution in product design and application has occurred through the years. It is simply the next logical step in mowing, much what the automatic dishwasher was to the consumer when washing dishes by hand was the norm.
    Typically, the RoboMower is set up to operate in two individual areas, normally the front yard and the back yard. The side yards can be included with the front or back - or treated as an individual area. This is normally done because of how the average lawn is laid out, with little access clearance from front to back yard - or possibly a fence separating the front and back. While at first it does not seem to be a good way to mow the lawn, automatic mowing will quickly makes good sense and you will soon love and appreciate mowing with the RoboMower. You will quickly adapt to mowing the lawn in different sessions, as now you can mow two to three times a week and keep the lawn always looking freshly cut. - Simply by pushing a button!
    All that is needed is a little patience. It will take RoboMower a little longer to mow the same area as a walk mower, but if you are not doing the work it has little impact. Simply allow RoboMower to complete the mowing task and then judge the results. 97 out of every 100 customers that purchase the RoboMower and allow themselves a few days of use to understand the new concept in mowing have not only kept the RoboMower, but will fight to keep it. Join the thousands of satisfied customers already using RoboMower in their lawns.
