The LawnBott LB1200 Spyder is the world's first robotic mower that doesn't require a perimeter wire to operate. Able to maintain yards up to 5,500 square feet, the LB1200 keeps your lawn looking great, with less work from you. Using patented sensors, actually detecting grass, the LB1200 will move across your yard, mowing until it comes to a non-grass area: mulched flower beds, patio or driveway, then reverse direction. With its Li-ion battery, the LB1200 Spyder will mow for up to 5 hours without needing a recharge. And at a lightweight 18lbs, the LB1200 is very easy to move from its storage area to your lawn. When it is done, simply place it back in the garage and connect the charging cable so your LawnBott is always ready to go. By letting it cut a couple of times per week, your yard looks good all week long. No more overgrown lawns. And as a bonus feature, since most weeds need to flower to spread seed, by keeping your grass trim, the LawnBott helps to reduce the amount of weeds you have. The LawnBott only take about 7-10 a year in electricity to operate; a great low cost, energy efficient alternative to gas powered mowers. No gas, No oil and No noise; easier for you, better for the environment. With its 4-wheel drive and aggressive rubber tread design, the LB1200 can handle slopes up to 27-Degree and virtually any yard or grass type. No more sweating it out in the summer to cut your grass, smelly fumes to worry about, bugs biting you or allergies to ruin your day. With the LawnBott you can enjoy your yard without having to work at it. Now that will make our neighbors jealous. 2 year warranty on robot, 1 year warranty on battery.

4.0 out of 5 stars I Love It, March 12, 2011

The Spyder is designed for smaller lawns - about 5000 square feet.

I love mine. It's great to be able to relax on the patio with a cold drink, and watch the grass being cut by this machine.

Initially, I had a problem with one of the two drive belts breaking on two separate occasions, which was caused both times by a screw which kept working loose from the center of the right front axle, inside the case. (There are four short axles - one for each wheel.)

Replacing the loose screw that had worked out from its location in the center of the axle required removing the top cover from the machine - finding the loose screw in the case - and then replacing it in the axle. Before replacing it the second time, I coated the threads of the screw with Loctite so it would never come loose again. - Wonder why the manufacturer didn't do that?? Oh, well.

The two drive belts transfer power from the two direct drive rear axles to the two front axles,...Read more

This review is from: LawnBott LB1200 Spyder Robotic Cordless Electric Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased my 18 months ago, a demo from the dealer. It was a dream until I decided to do an update to the motherboard, which I had purchased the correct internet cable from the manufacturer. Opening it was the biggest mistake ever, as the "update" from the manufacturer was defective and shorted my board. Off I sent it to the only USA repair center at a cost of $50, even though it was under warranty, as you have to pay the shipping to send it there. 6 weeks and no repair, finally it was fixed when the new board came. However, it arrived damaged, one wheel broken. Be forewarned that the insides are plastic, and not a strong plastic, and this means that this mower is not built like my former robomower to handle drops or tough work.

At another cost of $50, I sent it back to the only USA repair shop. It was sent back "repaired", but the "repaired" wheel had the broken piece replaced with a different than original piece that is defective. I searched online and found a now...Read more

This review is from: LawnBott LB1200 Spyder Robotic Cordless Electric Lawn Mower (Lawn & Patio)
I wish I one of these things 30 years ago when my parents sent me outside to cut the grass. This thing is awesome, and I'm suprised that more people don't have them, although with the large price-tag, I definitely understand. If you can go without the extra flat screen TV in the house, then purchase this thing, because it is definitely a good investment. When I visited my parents house and used this thing for the first time, we were all amazed, especially my father, because at almost 70 years of age he no longer has to cut the grass, but now can watch the grass being cut by the lawnbott 1200. This thing is really tough too, we have really steep hill in the back of the house and it took a tumble and landed upside-down on concrete, but I picked it back up, set it on the grass and pressed start and it kept on going. So really pay attention to 27 degree incline, because anything more it may not make it

The only con, is that it does not cut in a set pattern and goes all over...Read more
