Hello everyone,
now that our house and outdoor areas are completed, we are considering whether a robotic lawn mower or a traditional lawn mower would be better for our relatively small lawn area (about 250 m2 (2,700 sq ft)). I understand there is no “right or wrong” choice, but rather personal preferences on this topic. However, I would be interested in your experiences as a small source of inspiration, especially if you have tried both options. Why do you use a robotic mower or a traditional mower, and what do you see as disadvantages or drawbacks of the other option based on your experience?
At the moment, we are leaning towards a traditional lawn mower because of the small lawn size, but we are still unsure whether to go for an electric mower with a power cable (we have two outdoor sockets available) or a battery-powered one.
I appreciate any experience you can share :-)

It is also very cost-effective. Such a robot now costs about 500 euros. If you only count saving 1 hour per week, then the mower pays for itself in one season or one year.Savings of what? Time? How does the money come back?
Prices are more likely from 1000€ upwards, 1500, 2000…5000€!

Time? How do you get the money back?
Prices usually start around 1000€ (about 1100 USD) and go up, 1500, 2000… 5000€ (about 5500 USD)! No, it's not that expensive. With Worx, you're looking at around 500€ (about 550 USD), with Gardena about 700€ (about 770 USD). There are often good deals at the end of the season.
And I assume you're not receiving social benefits like unemployment support, so your working time also has a "value." I work 35 hours according to my contract but could do more if needed. However, due to personal time demands, I can't. Every hour saved through home automation can be directly converted into money.
Of course, this isn't possible for everyone, I understand 🙂
