The summer and its rabid heat is here and i still have a lot of lawn that hasnt been replaced by gardens yet (work in progress) and grows super fast

Im trying to get better and decouple myself from cloud services, but my searches for what robotic lawn mowers are self hostable/dont require wan isnt giving me confidence

I might just deal with the heat and get a push mower and deal with it, but if anyone has experience with a good local-only robotic lawn mower, or which ones to avoid - id love to hear it

Mine is 600sqm (squared meters) and my robot clear it just fine

Sometimes, I envy you guys with your smaller lawns. I've got about 4 acres of 'lawn' which is partially taken up with a large set of raised vegetable gardens, goat and chicken pens, A couple acres to raise a few head of cattle on, then scrub brush and woods, and then 15 acres of farmland.

And you need a robotic lawn mower? Use cattle as lawn mowers ... Free fertilizer too

No, no...sorry. I didn't mean to imply that I need a robotic lawnmower. Well, it'd be super cool, but it would have to be scaled considerably and hooked up to GPS. More so that I am at times envious because it takes me a good week+ to groom it all. The livestock tend their own plots, and the manure goes in a compost bin and then to my personal gardens.

Mine is 8100. Everything I was looking at, at that time, could only handle half at best.

That's not a lawn. It's a field you can grow crops on. You need John's Deers....

[–] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

I do grow crops on it.

You can easily get several models capable of more than that now, but they're pricey.
