Am I wrong thinking that after a few weeks of cutting the leaves, the root
will become gigantic and will keep producing leaves at a faster rate? The only
way to get rid of dandelions is to pull the ever growing root from the ground.

_How does it remove them? Won’t the weeds just grow back?_

 _Tertill whacks weeds using a spinning string trimmer, which cuts the weed
off near the ground. Because Tertill lives in your garden and goes looking for
weeds every day, weeds are always small when the robot finds them. A whacked
weed may sprout again, but sprouting takes energy stored in the seed or root.
By coming back every day, Tertill never lets a weed develop the leaves it
needs to replenish this energy, so eventually the weed gives up and dies._

So you will end up with a bunch of weeds inside your collar. Someone hasn't
thought this through. I've walked a lot of fields over a twenty year period,
weeds aren't always in the middle of the rows.

So...you pick the weeds out of the collar? You've reduced the land you have to
maintain to just that which this robot can't get to.

TLDR; you are supposed to get rid of all weeds in your garden first, then this
little robot will take care of all new weeds growing out of the ground. It's
supposed to be pretty much maintenance free and runs on only sunlight.

I can imagine that when this rolls over a green hose, it promptly tries to
"kill" the hose.

And I don't want to think about what it does to slugs and snails...
