Loading ...You may recall the LB2000, a robot that will mow your lawn for you. Well, it’s been revamped and reintroduced as the LB3200 and has a new exciting feature.
The new Lawnbott has added Bluetooth technology to its controls so that you can program and control it from anywhere via your cell or laptop. That comes in really handy when you’ve promised your wife you’d mow the lawn and yet you want to go out with you buddies instead, now you can do both. It works the same way as its predecessor and has two lithium ion batteries. It can go up a 30 degree incline and will mow a 38,000 sq ft area before returning to its dock for a charge.
It does come with a blade stopping sensor if anyone should pick it up which is really nice as well. It is pricey, $3,250, but if you’re like me and have a huge back yard that’ll pay for itself in free time quickly.

“It does come with a blade stopping sensor if anyone should pick it up” I always thought they should come with a sensor to speed up the blades when someone picks it up. that way people will not run off with your 3k lawn mowing robot. On the other hand I can see why it could be a bad idea also.
Wow a new Lawnbott already! When does it come out? And I just bought the LB3200 last spring. I too would like the blade to go faster if someone picked it up, but theft isn’t a real issue with these mowers. My LB3200 doesn’t have an alarm but I think thats a gimmick anyway because all my neighbors thought I was in the house controlling its movements until I told them it’s 100% automatic and thinks on its own. When I bought it, I used a 30 day trial at http://www.lawnbotts.com to see if it it can handle my big uneven yard and so far it’s been excellent with no problems at all! They really programmed these things to be smart and independent. These lawnmowers are going to take off big one day. There are now 2 lawnbotts in my community now. I see they already have the new model at http://www.lawnbotts.com/lb3500.html
Right now there is only 1 dealer in America with the LB3500 in stock, http://www.bamabots.com . The next shipment of mowers are not due in until mid to late March. Our test mower we use is heads and shoulders above the Evolution, it truly is another very large step forward in applying robotic technology. Bamabots.com is going to try and find some sort of trade in deal for those wishing to upgrade to the LB3500 with Professionals and Evolutions once the main shipment arrives in from Italy.
The LawnBott LB3500 can actually maintain 43,000 sq ft. With 4 batteries we have it maintaining a full 2 acre yard. A new battery will be coming out to allow the LAwnBott LB3500 to handle 3 full acres!
It also is upgradeble over the internet for FREE!
This is quite a machine.
I am totally excited about this new mower having moved to a larger property this winter. My poor evolution would die trying to do the 1.5 acre that I now have and I was planning to get another to help him out.
The review / guide that probotics put together is pretty good. They said that have had the pre-production unit for a while and it is really impressive. They would not sell it to me since it was pre-production but the production mowers will begin shipping on the 10th anyway. Come on IRS, get my check to me.
