  • ✓ Boundary wire works regardless of tree cover or satellite signal
  • ✓ Long 145 min typical mow time per charge

Keep in mind

  • • Needs a buried or pegged boundary wire (wire and stakes not included); professional install often recommended
  • • Older platform: ultrasonic object detection only, no camera
