One Man Banned Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 For those of you who have succumbed to the Roomba, and wondered what else to spend the pennies on take a look at this... http://www.friendlyrobotics.com/videos/robomow/ I have been looking through all kinds of brochures at work this week and spotted this - and then I remembered seeing a few of them at a Garden show in Shepton Mallet - can't think which one but Omlet were there with the cube Hands up who wants one! They aren't cheap tho, basic model RRP is £850 but who wants to mow the lawn. A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omletina Kyckling Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Ooooh, I really like mowing the lawn, I find it very therapeutic. I have a lovely, old, petrol Mountfield rotary mower (well actually we have three old ones all in various states of disrepair but I have a favourite, Brackers) and I really enjoy mowing. It does stripes on the lawn which I'm not particularly good at, I tend to follow the lines of the trees and it looks great until I look out of an upstairs bedroom window and then suddenly my lines are rather wavy.

Guest Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I LOOOOOVE mowing the lawn since I got my ride on mower. Sometimes I think I have too much testosterone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 I LOOOOOVE mowing the lawn since I got my ride on mower. Sometimes I think I have too much testosterone! I know what you mean, with the new job I get to drive ride-on mowers - they're very - I never had go-karts when I was a kid so I'm making up for it now. Have you heard of Mower Racing A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I think Omlet will have to bring out a credit/store card soon I could buy a cube for that Sadly do not have the money, and just have one mud patch and one "meadow" area It's too wet to mow though I think a ride on mower would be like dodgems in my garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 My daughter wanted me to get one of these ages ago, to mow our small lawn.....but then we got chickens and now there is no lawn. Problem solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
