RE: Is It Time for a Robot to Mow Your Lawn?

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's quiet, but a bit more 'droney'.  Probably about half the volume
of the
smallest Flymo.  There's 3 small blades that spin very quickly (presumably
more energy efficient).  I can't think of anything to compare the noise to,
I don't find it intrusive at all whilst I'm supping a beer watching the
grass being cut, but SWMBO seems to get agitated by it every now and then.

How noisy is it compared to a regular mower?  If it's going to be doing
it's
own thing for three times longer, it would be good if it's not too loud...
