Robot mower FAQs
Practical answers before you buy, install or rent a robotic mower.
Does a robot mower remove every bit of lawn work?
No. Edges, awkward corners, obstruction removal and some seasonal work can still require attention. We explain this during the lawn assessment.
Can I choose a mower from lawn size alone?
No. Area is only one factor. Terrain, navigation, passages, charging windows, wet ground and the layout can change practical capacity.
What does standard installation cost?
$649 for X5 and $749 for X7 within the local fixed-price zone, subject to site approval. Simple sites can be $449; complex sites start from $999.
Do you service the mowers?
Yes. Annual workshop service is $349 for X5 and $399 for X7. Local on-site annual service is $549 and $599 respectively.
Do rentals include maintenance?
Core rentals include defined maintenance and support. Winter storage and extra seasonal tuning are optional, not automatically bundled.
Do you cover Wānaka and Central Otago?
Yes by arrangement, but Wānaka, Cromwell, Alexandra and other non-local sites require a route or travel quote rather than automatic local pricing.
What happens in winter?
Winter storage and recommissioning are separate services. We follow the current model manual for storage and battery care and avoid charging twice for annual service already included in a plan.
