Weekend yard work can be an enjoyable pastime — until it’s not. Thanks to advanced technology, robots are finally taking on some of the burden, including mowing the lawn. A robot lawn mower can keep your lawn trim and tidy while you do other things. But it’s no secret that robotic lawn mowers can be very expensive. We just spotted a remarkable Black Friday deal from one of our favorite robot vacuum makers. The Dreame Robotic Lawn Mower A1 is currently down to just $1,300 on Amazon. That’s a massive 48% discount and $1,200 in savings. But as with all Black Friday deals, this price could be fleeting, so if you want to ensure you get this deal, we recommend moving fast.
Like many robot vacuums, the Dreame Robotic Lawn Mower A1 features obstacle avoidance and accurate navigation for efficiency. It is wireless, so you don’t have to worry about cord tangles or any elaborate setup. Just install the wireless charging station for the robot to dock when it’s done cutting your lawn.

You can map your lawn into different zones should you wish to. The robot mower features 3D mapping and adapts to different terrains. Install the Dreamehome app and you can control the mowing remotely, preschedule mowing times, and even mow or skip certain zones as needed. Adjust the mowing height either directly on the machine or through the app.

It mows in a U-shape path to give your lawn an even cut and can cover up to a quarter of an acre over a 24-hour period. One Amazon reviewer noted it took about an hour and a half to cover just over 2,000 square feet. While robot vacuums aren’t the fastest, the idea is that they mow while you’re at work or busy sipping lemonade. For that reason alone, this makes an extravagant and unique gift that will be appreciated for years to come.
