It depends on your climate. Robot mowers will usually struggle with very muddy or snowy ground, although some like the Yarbo can handle these just fine. Often mowers are put away for the winter, but your grass isn't usually growing much in this period anyway.

Longer than usual grass, yes. Grass up to your knees, no. Although most mowers have a height setting that you can gradually lower to get slowly to the grass-length you want, we find that it is usually a good idea to do the first mow of the season yourself, as long grass left on top of your lawn is not good for it.

Some mowers, particulary wired ones, can take a few goes to get the initial wire installation correct. Some robot mowers (and manual mowers too) will struggle with right angle corners, so you may need to strim occasionally. And lastly you should remember not to leave things laying around on your lawn. Anything large will be avoided by the sensors, but tennis/soccer nets on the ground or small flat items like secateurs can cause your mower to halt it's rounds.

You've got to name your mower, it's great fun to see it out there mowing like a super-helpful family pet.
