It's getting better all the time, and I'm happy to see people buying them. ๐ Much like ebikes mid-pandemic. Initial adoption provides capital, gets real-world feedback & conditions, and hopefully that gets communicated back to the company for future R&D, implementation.
I have dreamed about (good) robot lawnmowers. A couple months ago, I saw a business with a couple Husqvarna robomowers; they charged at their little solar-panel hut in the middle of the greens. It was beautiful.
You either afford it, or you pay for not affording it. Hours of your life every week (or hiring a guy), oil changes, feeding it gas?...it adds up. That all goes away if you have an electric robomower.
It hasn't been around super long, it's getting cheaper & better with time...I encourage you to be patient. ๐
