That sounds a bit poor. Presumably it cost about =A3600 and after 18
months you have had to spend =A3160 on spares (presumably not covered
by warranty).

It wouldn't be of any use for me as I have 5 lawned areas around the
house and they are linked by narrow walk ways or gravel etc. However,
I would be a little concerned about theft, after all I assume that
the main justification is to leave the thing running around
unattended. Surely it is a temptation for the local scumbags,
especially if it is running almost continuously.

Another question, what do you do about going on holiday? I assume it
can't go and charge itself over night, so do you need to get a
neighbour to put it to bed and let it out in the morning/evening or
do you then have to do a manual mow on your return?
