We have an eGo mower, string trimmer, and leaf blower and are very happy with all of them. A gas powered leaf blower is SO loud and this one is amazingly quiet.

I also have a co-worker who has a robot lawn mower. However, his first two both got stolen right out of his yard while mowing. The first time, the person even came back at a later time to steal the charger out of his yard. The second time, he purchased GPS with it but by the time the police got involved and it was tracked to a scrap yard, it was too late.
He did get a third one but now he won't run it unless he is actively sitting outside watching it mow.
@roxmonster wow! The balls to go back for the charger! I love the idea of a robotic mower, but I'm not convinced they're worth the enormous price tag yet.
We have a ryobi. It’s our first season with it and no complaints. It’s quiet and the battery lasts our entire yard. We have a hilly yard and got a self-propelling model and even in that mode we still can mow for about an hour.
