Posted on December 11, 2009, updated April 11, 2011 Posted on August 06, 2007, updated December 10, 2009 I bought a LawnBot Evolution for my husband Christmas 2006. We kept it on Winter Charge and installed it about April 2007. Well, for the first two weeks, we would sit on the swing in the backyard and watch it mow. Amazing! Now, instead of hubby doing the mowing and getting all sweaty, "Junior" does the work and we reap the benefits!!!! The lawn is cut evenly with no "stripes" or missed patches. The unit seems to generate it's own personality also. Neighbors stop and stare in amazement. One neighbor sits in her window and watches it work. We have had people drive by, spot it, turn their head and almost drive off the side of the road. Kerry has been most helpful when hubby had questions both before buying and after. His forum is really great! It gives owners a chance to talk to other "Botters" and gather their experiences. If Kerry doesn't know the answer to a particular problem, he goes to the manufacturer for correct information. Not everyone will do that.

I also ordered a peas sheller back in June 2010 and never received the order. They never returned my calls or email. I contacted the Alabama Attorney General and filed a complaint. I ask that the website be shutdown because it looks like they are still in business taken people's money. I know I will never get my money or pea sheller, thank the Lord I did not order the $224.00 sheller.

I wouldn't do business with them. The BBB gives them a rating of F which is the lowest rating. As late as April, they were taking money from people and not supplying the merchandise. They no longer reply to emails and their telephone number is disconnected. Their address is 1001 Crestline Drive, Dothan, AL 36301 which is also the address of Lawn-Gardening-Tools.com which they obviously operate as the disconnected telephone number is the same. Do a google search on the owner and that may explain what has happened to this company. I don't know if the first hits from google on this person is the same person, but doesn't look good with not replying to emails, having a disconnected telephone number and having taken money from people as late as this April with no reply. I would say, do business with them at your own risk. I think the Alabama State Attorney General's office should investigate this company to see they're still operating and taking in money. Shame on you, Bamabots.

I am concerned because I ordered the pea sheller over a month ago and have not received it. I have emailed the company and not seen a reply, and now I have called the company and the phone number is temporairly disabled. My payment was received and removed from my account. I hope my product has been shipped.

I purchased a LawnBott Evolution from Bamabots. Immediately, the wheel fell off. I found that is a normal occurrence. Next, the wheel motor died. Bamabots was happy to replace it. Next, the machine would mow, but the height of the cut could not be set high enough to avoid ruining the grass and the coverage was abominable. It did not cut even close to the whole area it was assigned which was well within the recommended size. Then, the mower stopped moving at all. Next a letter came saying there was a recall. I returned the mower for repair and recall. They put a really silly guard on the bottom that just clogged up the grass and the mower still doesn't work. I asked for my money back. Crickets. This is $3000 completely wasted. All I can do now is sue in hopes of recovering some of my money. This has been a nightmare! Whatever you do, do NOT buy this mower from this company or anywhere else. Lawnbott may not be Bamabots invention, but it could be their destruction if they don't treat their customers correctly!

Great review of the Robomower RL1000 but wish I could borrow a copy of the DVD.

Thank you! If you'd like a free DVD just email e and I will get it out to you ASAP!

Found Kerry Clabaugh's review of the Robomower 1000 very informative. //www.bamabots.com/robomower-rl1000-review.htm I have a Robomower 850 in it's fourth year of operation and this year it has suddenly decided to jump the fence and run into the neighbor's yard several times now. One neighbor had to repair their dog fence this year, so I'm not sure if the problem is that my mower is senile or if there is interference from the new layout of the neighboring dog fence. Kerry's write up seems to indicate that the neighbors fence could well be the issue. Plus, there is a lot of other useful tips and information on the Robomower and even a little information on the Lawnbot competitor product.

The web blog was informative and funny!

I'v been a lurker for a while, great info, my tomatoes were even red this year! I was able to spend more time with them because of the robotic mower I bought from Bamabots earlier this spring. I got a LawnBott Evolution from them. Being somewhat geeky, but not totally, I was really suprised by the amount of info and suggestions from Kerry at Bamabots. He really talked me through the purchase and even helped me lay out the yard correctly. I enjoyed dealing with them so much, I came back and bought other accessories from him; awesome spiked wheels and the steppin edger! ( its cool) Definitely a good company to deal with.
