RoboUp's Raccoon 2 SE is set to launch on Kickstarter this November, introducing an affordable lawn care solution for homeowners with small lawns.
Investing in a robot mower often makes sense for those with large lawns where manual mowing is tiring and time-consuming, yet those with smaller yards often hesitate, questioning the value when they can easily do it themselves. After helping medium and large lawn owners simplify their lawn care routines, RoboUP is determined to offer the same ease to those who have small yards—like elderly homeowners—with a solution that isn't oversized or overpriced.
Raccoon 2 SE, touted as "a smart mower at the price of a gas mower," gets going instantly without an app, and offers a hands-free experience with features like auto mapping and self-charging.
