The object detection test was flawed. You should re-test that but with a stationary object in its path, not random objects falling right in front of the camera.

I personally just planted a few trees and replaced grass with a moss garden after 5 years but this thing is cool too

I have a Worx's and it took me a long time to set the wires up. I do like this one But the prices is high . I live in a community of 220 home and people stop to talk to me about one and I tell them that you need to install a wire and they do not like that. Sometime I need to move the wire and that I do not like. This one has a 10cut and the one I have will cut 8'' A friend ones me to install one for him. My son took over my building CO and I WAS TELLING HIM ABOUT This.

Hey man. Great channel. Thanks for all the tips you give out! I was wondering if you could just give me a direction on how to fix my tv. it's a 55 inch 4k tv bought 2 years ago, everything was fine until one small red line showed up vertically on the right side of the screen.

Does the separate antenna need to be in the line of sight of the mower at all times?

@FrugalRepair

Жыл бұрын

I don’t think so because the mower can go to the front yard and the antenna is in the back yard. The house would be blocking it. I think it could be an issue if the communication was blocked or there was interference. I asked ecoflow to put an advanced option in the App so you could see signal strength data. I found that it’s hard to know where the best antenna location should be when there are trees and houses around.

Is it possible to install the antena on the shed/small garage to improve te Signal ? Is it has to mounted on the ground?

@FrugalRepair

I am eager to try this myself. But I did ask Ecoflow and they said that yes, it can help if the antenna is getting a better view of the sky. But you have to make sure it doesn’t move.

Is the app/software local, or does it have to go out to a central server somewhere? I'd hate to have something happen to such a device as what is going on with the Amazon Halo.

Many people are already complaining that getting a good signal for the mower is very hard. If you've got even one tree on your property, people are saying on Amazon they're having issues getting a lock. They're also saying that the front wheels get sticks stuck in them. Just an fyi.

To me it seems they are not made for heavy duty jobs. Where I live I have 1 acre but the grass is super thick and grows really fast and it don't look robust enough but I could be wrong. Why don't they make them the same size base as a push mower? Or do they. I think that would work so much better. What do you think?

I do have one question when it does go thru the pass way, is it still cutting the grass?

@FrugalRepair

No, the mowing doesn’t turn on until it gets into the mowing zone.

@ecoflow, you need to get an articulating deck to solve this not a firmware update.

Since it is guided by satellite, wouldn't it always cut exactly the same path, thus leaving wheel paths in the lawn?

You would probably want to create a path so it could travel across the driveway. Right now it supports two mowing zones and then one path between them. They plan to add support for more zones in a firmware/app update.

Funny!

A larger version of this would be more effective, I think. You'd also think that razor blades would wear out pretty quick cutting grass with twigs in its path, leaves and other debris. I'd be interested to know how often do you have to change the blades. Is there a height adjustment or fixed cutting length of the cut grass? My property also has a road in front with a length of 120 feet or so. I hope this doesn't run out into the road and cause a traffic accident. What about that danger? Lastly, I can't see the point in the grass catcher attachment as you'd have to babysit the mower a lot. In my situation, that grass/leaf bag would fill up in 20 seconds or less with all the trees I have.

@FrugalRepair

Жыл бұрын

A bigger version would mean a bigger battery, etc. maybe they will come out with one. I haven’t had it long enough to know how long the blades last. If you have the path set and don’t move the antenna, it should stick to it. The leaf collection bag is something you’d just need to plan to empty regularly (assuming it’s cleaning regularly). So maybe not what you want if you have tons of leaves. I think for a smaller yard like mine it will work well.

I already have lidar robot vacuums, so one for outside is my next step. Can't wait for it to come in the mail. I love technology. I was looking out for this since I saw it announced. Love the lack of guide wires. My neighborhood is safe, so I shouldn't have any thefts. Plus I have cameras all over outside my house. The thief would be caught red handed.

If you have the money to spend to be lazy, why not? I work overnight and pretty far away from home and would rather not set off my allergies on the days I'm actually home. I can't go outside without a mask while lawns are being mowed without having an allergic reaction (still have one, but not as bad with a mask). Now I can make it work overnight and I'd get to enjoy my yard when I'm off rather than being stuck inside avoiding my lawn like the plague. I was considering getting a riding mower (my yard is huge, hopefully the mower can do it all...) and wearing Goggles and a respirator to mow the lawn. But I'd probably bring grass back in the house with me on my clothes... At least here I dont have to deal with the freshly cut grass. I moved down south and my allergies are way worse here. I used to be able to get away with skipping days I didn't go outside... not anymore.
