Do you offer leasing options?
At Automower Wichita we believe that customers are smart and when they run the numbers they will see owning an automower is far cheaper than leasing. Leasing robotic mowers is similar in cost to traditional lawn care, around $30 a week. Over a 48 month payment program, an automower will run about $12 - $15 a week and then after the four years you own it.What does autonomous mean?
Autonomous is defined as having the freedom to operate itself and has its own controls. Autonomous lawn mowers have the ability to operate and mow lawns on their own with the settings and controls from the operator. There is no physical demand needed for the robotic mower to run.What is a robotic lawn mower?
The latest technology in the lawn care industry, a robotic lawn mower is an autonomous robot that is responsible for cutting grass. This technology requires the user to set up a border wire of their property that defines the area that needs to be cut. The wire helps the robot to locate the areas of grass within the lawn that need to be mowed as well as locate the recharging dock. Robotic lawn mowers first entered production in 1995 and can now handle several acres if needed. They are meant to be completely autonomous, and some now work with voice control when connected to your Amazon Echo or Google Home device.Can I leave the robotic lawn mower out year-round?
Robotic lawn mowers are designed to operate in all weather conditions with the exceptions of extreme wet and freezing conditions. Once fall and winter hit, your grass will stop growing depending on where you live, in this case it is best to store your mower in your garage. Simply give it a full charge before you put it away for the winter.Can you leave the mower unattended?
Yes! This is one of the many perks that come with owning a robotic lawn mower. Each mower can be set to a specific profile and the operator can customize the date and time of when you want it to mow.Will the Robotic lawn mower mow all the way to the edges?
A robotic lawn mower uses a buried wire to navigate the edges of your lawn to ensure a clean cut in any area you need mowed. These mowers are designed to overlap the wire to ensure that all of the grass is cut, however you will still need to trim in areas where the grass grows along a wall. This trimming is needed because the robotic mowing blades are recessed from the edge of the automated mower by about three inches.How long does it take for a robotic mower to cut my grass?
Every model is made for different size lawns, so it depends on which one you purchase. All robotic mowers are meant to cut your lawn several times per week in order to keep your grass healthier. Some automatic lawn mowers are also faster than others. Other factors include the season, the type of grass in your lawn, and if the grass is irrigated or treated. Check with your Automower Wichita professional to help you determine which model would best suit your size lawn.Will the robotic lawn mower be able to mow around objects in my yard such as trees and playsets?
The wire that is placed in the lawn allows the robotic lawn mower to maneuver around and objects in the lawn without a problem. Robotic lawn mowers also have built-in sensors which keep them from getting stuck on any other unexpected items. A robotic lawn mower is designed to stop its cutting system and redirect if needed.What maintenance is required?
Unlike most power equipment, a robotic lawn mower rarely requires any maintenance. While inspection and light cleaning is always a good thing to do so that your equipment runs efficiently for a long time, robotic lawn mowers do not require special equipment to keep their blades sharp. These lightweight mowers make it cheap and easy to simply replace the blades. Other things like cleaning off the hood and the wheels of the robotic lawn mower are also in good routine but not as important. They do not require any other maintenance, oil, or cleaning, and they won’t take up much space in your garage when stored for the winter.How does an automower stay in my yard?
