Bloke will have overheads like anyone else unless it's some crackhead using next doors plug in mower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect about £20 or £25 per hour in reality, but make sure they get rid of the cuttings for you instead of chucking them in your bin......

Nowack Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Had the robot hoover a week now and I can heartily recommend it. I can hear it gently going about it's business while I enjoy a Christmas eve tea and biscuits in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I got one of those from Eastern Europe a while ago, but it takes ages to do the job. Apparently it’s a Slovak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Ours is doing exactly what I hoped it would Regards the delivery The first one never turned up despite driver saying he'd left it a couple doors down The second one turned up but the driver wouldn't hand it over until we gave him a six digit code from our order confirmation So I don't think the first one ever existed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Mine’s just done the whole house apart from the stairs. Did a fairly decent job of the landing carpet but nowhere near as good as the Henry to be fair. Absolute no brainer for wooden floors Still doing its job after 4 months @Cheese😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
