It's way too expensive for a robomower this weak. There are now better robo-mowers available that provide more features, better batteries and more powerful electric motors (also 4 wheel drives)... and also are controlled via RTK/GPS... for the same price! This unit should cost under $1000 to be competitive.

@@covertpuppytwo3857 This mower has a camera, lidar and radar. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I can't think of another robot lawnmower that has that combination. The Omni directional wheels also seem to do as good job making sure it doesn't slip nor destroy the grass. I have the Worx Landroid L. There are forums of people having to modify the wheels so that they don't slip. This is the only lawnmower that doesn't use a boundary wire. I'm not sure if you realize how big of a deal that is. In the four years I've had my Landroid, there hasn't been one in which it didn't rip the wire out somewhere, or rip it out and also cut it, forcing me to fix it, an incredibly annoying process. Suffice it to say, Ecoflow figured out something literally no other company has been able to. It also has a sweeper, something I've never seen in a robot mower. For me, the only reason I wouldn't get it is because it only cuts up to 3", and I like to keep my grass at 4", since it's turf type tall fescue. I also suspect it won't do well on slopes. I'll wait for real reviews to come out before spending $3k on it.

@@shanew7361 No lawn mower is going to handle dog crap! You need to go out and clean your lanw. As someone who currently has a robot lawn mower (the worx landroid L), I'd be interested in: 1. can it handle the slopes in my yard? 15 degrees doesn't seem like much. You basically need a flat lawn 2. how does it handle bumps and divots in the ground? Unless you're one of those lawn perfectionists, who levels out their lawn every year, you're going to have dents and bumps. 3. How robust is it to save itself when it gets stuck somewhere? When it beaches itself on top of a root. Or on top of a kid's toy that was flat enough that it didn't realize it was there, but tall enough to beach it. Are you going to have to come out every 15 minutes to get it unstuck? I also can't understand why all of these robot mowers only cut to 3". I grow turf type tall fescue, which likes to stay at 4". I *guess* I could cut it at 3 inches, but as was mentioned in this video, when we get our heatwaves, you really want the grass as tall as possible so that it doesn't brown out.

It's very quiet and doesn't belch gas fumes. I would assume cutting in the cooler night air is easier on the grass. This is the first time that I've had all of the lawn other than one separate section mapped. Initially I had a small section mapped out...then I added more...then I started mapping another...and I lost the map. After the firmware yesterday (the changelog implied they had improved mapping) I just mapped it all out with all of the restricted areas. BTW, I do have some rough sections and dips, the robot does have some issues with these areas but seems to be very good at figuring how to get out of these snafus. Online chat support was useless when my App was indicating a 0402 error, but I did get through that by clearing the data and starting over. I'd try using the Apps built-in support feature next time, I'm assuming since the robot is internet connected that they may be able to look at debug info when troubleshooting.

My Worx Landroid L can handle 35 degree slopes and still struggles at times. But these wheels seem more capable than my Worx, which are very good at chewing up my lawn!

Exactly I think these are only going to get better and you have to start somewhere. A couple tweaks in this and it will do much better..👍🏼

Have watched a number of these reviews, but most are sponsored.There's an amazon review that provides an in-depth of the problems, glitches and customer support.

Mine is sponsored as well. But I try to keep all sponsored content pretty neutral unless the item really has issues then I will not recommend unless its minor then I will obviously disclose the bands about a item. Much like this. I think it has a purpose in the right place, but unfortunately not for me in my area.

It seems like a really weak design tha trequires a perfect, low-cut lawn. We have kids, moles, weeds, trees, toys left on the lawn, dog poo, etc. I can't imagine that unit working in my yard.

Yea this is more for a well manicured lawn that this could easily take over the job of it being mowed. I suggested a couple things to improve it to make it more universal for more people. The tech is awesome but if you want to hit a bigger market just a few small items need to change

Sweep mode seems kind of useless for regions with many trees. That big will fill quickly. It seems dopey bumping into things but I can guarantee you with the advancements in AI, the subsequent versions will be great.

I don't think walking the perimeter with your phone would work. Phones are going to have a pretty wide range of accuracy when it comes to the GPS and it would be difficult to get a reliable mapping.

You dont walk the perimeter with the phone. You drive the mower around the perimeter of the mowing area. I am one of the Beta Testers. It utilizes the GPS in the mower as well as its own internal RTK sytem.

@@DoRC ahhhh ok. I honestly hadnt watched the video. What they need to do is stop trying to use GPS satellites and use their own internal system but it seems the companies are in a race to do it with a single antenna. If it were me I would have had it rely on its own triangulation and positioning system. But that will take multiple antennas. I suggest they put solar panels on the posts to make it a wireless system as well.

@@Karim-ik5ij robot vacuums and robot mowers are not anywhere near the same. Most robot vacuums just use the bump and turn idea. And those are equal to the mowers with boundary wires. Robot vacuums do not use GPS at all. For those that do more than just bump and turn utilize LIDAR in their systems. Thats how the Blade works. It uses GPS and LIDAR. Im gonna be honest about LIDAR. Anyone that has a LIDAR enabled device in their homes are as foolish as the day is long. You might as well just give them 24-7 CCTV camera access and install airport body scanners in every room. Cause that's what LIDAR is doing.

i don’t have think these things are ever gonna be useful for cool season lawns. the max height is too low. seems very weak. probably would work well for close cut warm season grass if you have a perfectly flat postage stamp sized yard. but if you have that, it would take 10 minutes with a reel mower. what’s the point?

Yea it got a very specific customer for sure but at a premium price.

It's hard for me to take this thing seriously. Especially when you can buy an EGO self-propelled walk behind mower for $600. That's $2300 less than what this toy cost. You could have been done with mowing in 5 or 10 minutes while this thing is trying to figure out how to get unstuck.

For his tiny yard, you honestly don't even need a self propelled walk behind mower. One of those $75 push reel mowers would do just fine! However, if you have an acre of land like I do (1/2 of which I have grass on and the other half woody), a robot lawn mower would be a great option. I have the Worx Landroid L. It's far from perfect, but it's nice always having a perfectly cut lawn. I certainly wouldn't call it a toy. The question is, how robust is it? Does it handle: * divots/bumps/not perfect flat, leveled land? * roots sticking out? Like will it beach itself on a root or be smart enough to not even try to roll over it? Ultimately, you want to set the thing, come out every day and see a mowed lawn. If you have 3/4 of an acre or less and it can do that without much intervention from you (other than to change the blades), then I'd call this a winner.

This would make me lazy, my push mower keeps me active.

I think it also depends where you are using it. Some people are having good luck verses my lawn setup and cut height just doesn’t really allow for this unit. A couple small tweaks could make it much more universal

I just cant stand the look of these things. Those weird front wheels are sooooo stupid! They would be more efficient if mounted straight ahead and only utilised the smaller rollers when turning, and it wouldnt look broken all the time 😂
