Ambrogio robot mowers are durable and long-lasting thanks to the manufacturer's willingness to keep replacement parts available. When maintained properly (including regular dealer service), an expectation of 8-10 years of lifetime is met easily.  Proper maintenance enables the full life because the manufacture made design choices that extend the lifetime. Now that some of the early robots have aged beyond the manufacturer's committed lifetime, many very old robots are proving to continue to operate. We still support robot mowers that were manufactured in 2006. As one of the earliest co ..read more

Evaluations of robot mowers are not always complete. Often, very obvious things to consider are overlooked. One of these is the wheels. Friction is the friend of the robot mower's wheel. If the robot does not have a sincere attempt to increase friction, the result will be spinning wheels and a stuck robot. Physics cannot be denied.  The wheel material and its shape affects its ability to create friction with the ground. How the tire is mounted to the wheel hub is also a factor. Consider the tire's surface area and how much of the tire makes contact with the ground. Surface area is impo ..read more

Ambrogio Robot is the best robot mower few Americans have heard of. I intend to change that by writing many blog posts to help people understand why they should choose Ambrogio robot mowers.

If you have the time to watch these two in-depth comparisons of Ambrogio vs. Husqvarna, you will begin to understand why. There are more than 7 reasons to choose Ambrogio but I had to reduce it to the top seven to av ..read more

Ambrogio has the widest range of robot lawn mowers in the industry, which is great because the robot can be "optimized" for each yard's unique characteristics: flat vs. hills, dense vs. sparse grass, large vs. small, etc. But the down side is it can make the selection process daunting. This post will simplify the selection process. The first step toward selecting your robot is to find a knowledgeable local dealer. Dealers are trained to help you make the right choice. You may not find a dealer near you yet, so the next best is buy over the internet. When making your purchase online, bewa ..read more

I can never leave something unfinished. In this past post, Ambrogio Robot Mower Installation - Extremely Complicated Example, I wrote about the installation for a consumer who lives in a rural area and did not have a local dealer nearby.  Our Ambrogio robot mower dealer network is growing in the five states of our territory: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio & Wisconsin.

In a case such as this, when there is no dealer nearby and the installation is too complicated for DIY, we act as the dealer and do the installat ..read more

Spring was early this year! So early, in fact, that it has been difficult to keep up with blog posts. Interest in Ambrogio continues to grow as people learn about its advantages. We continue to seek new dealers in five states. Since we lack dealers in many areas, on occasion I will do an installation for new customers who do not have a dealer nearby.  People often wonder how to deal with physical and electronic fences. The easiest answer is "leave the gate open for the robot to travel from the back to the front", but what does a robot owner do who owns a dog? The whole point of the f ..read more
