Do robot mowers with built-in trimmers actually reduce edge work?
I'm still using an older robot mower from a few years back, and overall it still does a solid job. The main thing it struggles with is the edges though. Around flower beds, along the fence line, and where the driveway meets the lawn, the boundary lines still end up looking uneven after a few mowing cycles, so I usually have to walk around with a trimmer on the weekends to clean everything up and make the yard look a bit more finished.
Recently I notices some newer models with built-in trimmers and better edge recognition, and some of them look like they can get much closer to the edges without constantly bumping into things. It sounds pretty useful if it actually works reliably long term.
Has anyone here used one of these for a while? Any models with good edge trimming or boundary detection you'd recommend? Appreciate any real feedback.
