    If it was me I'd just go to my shed and choose from one the many cables I'd kept from previous defunct lawn mowers just in case they might come in handy.

      Am surprised no one has a robot lawnmower, a few years back some contractors said they had it and it was good.

      When I stop working (hoping soonish in a couple of years) I want to get rid of the lawn and plant my own food.... have an urban homestead !
      What is this obsession with lawn?? What use does a lawn have ?? put your land to better use and grow your one food

        I find lawns a good place to park the kids. Have a few veggies planted too, mainly in raised beds. I'd like to see how robot mowers avoid trimming other plants.

          I have one of these and can recommend the round thingy as excellent for doing patios - before it used to be just with a lance which resulted in soaked shoes from spray - now a thing of the past and just how good it cleans the flags is surprising - also worth noting it does walls equally well
          Only criticism is that being tall it means I have to stoop when using

            I expect they stop at borders.

            Yes for young kids lawn is good, for me its not really used, I have a large patio and raised balcony that I use to sit / eat / BBQ / have parties, but the lawn is just there, not used, just demands to be cut every week or two... I will either put it to a good use making my garden look like an allotment lol or move out of the city and find a place with a large garden in the country to plant...

                Well, you've got to have somewhere for next door's cat to crap on.

                  +1 for getting an electric mower.

                    Next door's cat likes lying on mine so he's away from the kid who lives next door.

                    He gives me evils when I go out and do stuff which means he can't lie there.
