Can you ever be lazy enough when it comes to your lawn’s upkeep? Well, if you’re loaded, no. After all money affords much in life – that’s its very point – and in the case of your over-expansive outdoor area, you either employ someone to come round and use your ride-on to do the job for you or, embracing the future and discarding the employment needs of mankind like so much confetti, you could take some of your considerable wealth and splash out on the Elite X7 from Sunseeker.

Yes, it’s a robot, and one with 3D vision complete with a binocular camera so it can judge depth and recognise contours and terrain to better plan its cutting journey, also automatic obstacle avoidance, so as not to run into any garden furniture, pets, children, etc. It has AI, of course, to constantly increase its awareness of your garden. So, all you have to do is walk it round the bits you want to bring back to civilisation, then let it go off on your lawn.

Fitted with floating 35cm dual disc cutters, the Elite X7 can handle truly dense patches of overgrowth, cutting automatically to heights from 20mm to 100mm, over laws of up to 6000m2, the all-wheel drive taking everything in its stride, the 10Ah battery driving it on in its endless autonomous mission to keep your garden well clipped.

Naturally, of course, there’s also an app that lets you monitor the Elite X7’s progress in real time, plus assume remote control and/or change perimeters, all from the comfort of your sun lounger.

It’s expensive, but having already established your position as someone with firm financial clout, I imagine you’ve already ordered one.
