Afraid of Robot Lawn Mowers?
I know it is not a big concern yet, but eventually robotic lawn mowers will creep into our everyday lives. Currently they are too expensive and not heavy duty enough to cause Lawn Care Companies any trouble but that will change as they get better and cheaper with time. When that time comes will you be a whiner, crying about all the accounts you had until the “iMower” ripped them? Or will you be an expert on them so you can profit from them when their time comes?

At this point, neither. Not worried about it in the forseeable future.

You'll need to watch them anyways, because if you don't it'll get stolen. So where the he** is the time savings in that!? I may be wrong, but....

I'm not too worried about it. I don't think they will ever be that big of a thing.

I can barely see robotic vacuums really taking off, but I don't think the mowers ever will. I would love it if most of my customers got one to mow their back yard. That way I could only carry a large mower for the front yards. Ever notice that people in general will only pay about 1/4 - 1/3 of what they are paying for their front yard to add on their back yard? Even though their back yard is usually bigger, has more trimming, has limited access & takes twice as long to cut.
