Redkey robot lawn mower review: bare minimum specs
We’ve all become accustomed to the idea of little robots that clean our homes, but mowing the lawn is still a relatively new use of the same technology. Many options can cost thousands of dollars on the market, but Redkey has found a way to get their product well under the $1,000 mark.
The Redkey MGC 1000 is a robot lawn mower that can cover a quarter acre of yard space. It mows only within the included 590 feet of boundary wire, and customers can’t add any more than that to a single charging station.
