I've got one, had it for nearly 3 years now.  Apart from some dodgy so= ftware
early on, it's never let me down.  Cost in the UK is a lot higher thou= gh - I
think it's now up to about =A3700 for the RL500, or =A3800 for the next mod= el up
(which is identical, it just has better software to extend the battery life= ).
And they weigh a tonne, so don't expect shipping from the US to be cheap!
In terms of SWMBO, it probably rates as the best gadget.

PS No raking, the blades are very small and spin very fast, so the cuttings= just
mulch back into the lawn.  That's what the marketing says, anyway!

Good idea!
However, where would the grass clippings go ? .. left on the lawn I presume=
... meaning you gotta rake 'em all up !
But apart from that, I'd be ordering one tomorrow if I had the cash
