Non wire robotic mowers

[Fat hen]

Went to a dealer nr Oxford recently about a different matter. Noticed his Kress robotic mowers. He said that they don’t need a buried wire and some can cope with long grass. Kress are the German Husqvarna I gather. I’m

Has anyone had any experience of the non-buries cable type of robotic mowers?

Looks like a game changer for robot mowers.

That’s what I thought. The wired type is good if have a contiguous lawn but we’ve got patches here and there.
The guy says they come and map the whole of your grass/lawn that you are likely to want to cut. Then it’s good to go

I’m sure I saw an advert yesterday for Stihl mowers that don’t need a wire.

Are the electric versions any kinder though to trees in the lawn and any vegetation in the garden you don't want grazed?

In my experience they will deal with your hedge, shrubs, veg patch etc before having a go at your grass as a last resort.

Have two Kress wired ones they are fantastic. Wireless look good.
I’ve a big one and a small one as I’d have to drop kerb and cut drive, wireless would have done without.
Lawn full of moss before now none with the mulching.
Cost similar or less than the ride on in electric vs fuel.

The bigger the smarter and easier to programme, my small ones on the uneven bit and a bit stupid and get stuck a bit more often.
