    Yeah vacuums are one thing. I’m not sure how I’d feel about an automated lawn mower.

      Aside from being able to harm small wildlife like hedgehogs, squirrels, snakes etc. it poses no risk whatsoever to anything…maybe your flowerbeds if you don’t set it up correctly. They’re low, slow and very weak.

          On my Gardena, it would be no chance. The “skirt” around it means you would need to lift it to get hurt, and any attempts to lift it triggers the emergency stop. I reckon that’s standard with most of them. The teeny tiny blades are also not really screwed down, so it doesn’t have much cutting potential, just enough for grass and weeds.
