Good video! I like the Worx l1000/wr147. Side cut, design etc all look good. BUT having lived with a noisy Ambrigio L30 Elite for 7 yesrs, emitted noise is pri 1. Second pri is traction. On the EliteL30 I ended up with steel plugs. Both of these criterias seems to be a weaker area of worx. L1000 apparently is 67db vs Husquarna 430 58db. It is a massive difference. When cab we see an objective comparison of all models testet for noiselevel??

You buy me one of each model and I'll give it a go 😅 Apparently mine is rated for 67db, but I would definitely not describe it as loud at all, but that does sound like a big difference

As a dealer that getting into robotic mowers (echo and husqvarna) we’ve discussed landscape companies. Do you think there’s a market where landscapers could buy a robot from us at a discount and either they do the install or we do. At that point the can sell the robot service to the customer where they still have a guy come out weekly to do the trim work and maintenance on the robot if needed?

@stephenkohler3472

@@TheGroovybear17 That's exactly how I see it going. Customers will contact their landscaper for installation, maintenance and trimming anyway so a good relationship with a local dealer would be great for everyone involved.

If you have a power edger they work wonderful for digging a roughly 1/4" wide 2" deep trench you can then push a wire into. I had to run a 200' network cable across my yard. With the edger attachment on my string trimmer it took maybe 15 minutes to bury the cable. I cut the trench then pushed the wire in with a ruler and collapsed the trench with my foot.

One of the best reviews I've seen in a long long time. Fair play

I bought my mower around Spring of this year. Everything you said is simply true. I even had the problem with the playset slide hitting the stop button or catching one of the wheels. There is a period where you will need to make adjustments where the mower can have trouble. For me, it was about a month. Lucky for me I have cameras that cover most of the front and back yard. So if it did have an error I could watch what it was doing and make adjustments. After fixing issues, it is almost trouble-free. We left for 2 weeks and oh what a joy it was to come home to a lawn that didn't need to be mowed. I also decided to run my mower at night. It starts up at 9PM and goes on until 4AM. That way I don't have to worry about anyone pulling into the driveway and not noticing the mower. And while the people that live in my neighborhood seem to really enjoy it. I won't have to worry about anyone walking past the house and having the mower cross their path when it goes across the sidewalk. There are very small areas that the mower can't get to or that will give it problems. These are few and far between. I simply use a trimmer to take care of these areas every 2 weeks or so. This takes about 10 minutes for the front and back yard. So, 10 minutes every 2 weeks with a battery-powered trimmer? Yeah, I'm liking that a lot vs mowing every weekend. Also, this is my second automatic mower. My first was at a different house perhaps 20 years ago. It was called the Robomower. It worked the same but it didn't have a charging base. You had to grab a control that was attached to it to guide it back into the garage to be charged. Or carry it if you wanted/the battery was dead. No apps back then. No zones. No modules were available to buy. I would guide it out one day to cut the front yard and the following day to cut the back. I would bring it out about twice a week before leaving for work and carry it back in when I got home. It was also a joy as I didn't have to use my gas mower. Now to do something about getting rid of the snow during the winter...

This was so helpful... I've watched many reviews but have missed your some how and this is the only one folks need. Cheers

This video had VERY useful information from the beginning all the way to the end. This really helped me in making a decision about purchasing a robot mower. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Well done. I have been toying with the idea myself. This was a an excellent realist review of the concept of the robotic mowers.👍

I really enjoyed watching your review of your robot lawnmower. You have changed my views on such things. I had up till now thought they had to be gimmicks, surely. This video proves me wrong.

This is one of the most informative videos on this product that I have seen. Nicely done.

I'm using a Landroid Worx WG793E.1 since 2016 (6 years) - it works perfectly well. I had to change the battery after 5 years (65$) that's all. No ferlisers needed, no moss, and moles are gone. No oil or servicing required other than swaping the cheap blades once a month (4 screws)

I never swap my blades going on year three on a w140. Every 40 hours I take a sharpening stone to the blades. With daily cutting the grass always freshly cut! We're on year 3 of the blades with a sharpening staying taken to them every 40 hours. A weight on the rear wheels helped our traction issues.

I got the Idea to buy one and have been researching this robot. I have to say this is the best video with explanation I have seen. Thank you so much for this information. I'm thinking to set it up in a yard in Iceland but I live in United states so I have a lot of thinking and research to do. Thank you again.

Great video! Every question I had about the Worx Landroid was answered. Thanks, Brian!

Ive had my RL500 since 2006 and still does a great job. Digging in the perimeter wire took a bit of time but worth it. At lease when she asks me to cut the grass I can sit and have a beer.

Fantastic review!! I’m getting one for my new lawn at our new home. Thank you!

I love robots that do useful things! If I had a lawn I would definitely want a robot to cut it. I have the same feelings about my vacuum robot 😃

I think it is time to get myself one of these! thanks for the detailed video.

Best video I’ve seen on the landroid. I purchased one this may and it was such a good investment. It’s amazing and has saved me a job I hated doing every few days. It therapeutic just sitting have a coffee and watching it work. You do have to watch the wire as it seems to stretch in places after a few months and can get cut. Its an easy repair though. I definitely would recommend the worx landroid.

Great video. Most helpful video I've found while researching these and no robot voice overs is always appreciated!

Nice to see a youtuber not using their children as bait. Never really put much thought into a robot mower. I had always thought they seemed rather like a bad gimmick. If Rhumba get into so much trouble indoors I figured a mower would be worse. You've changed my mind.

I know this channel and maker for the Tetris clock and other projects. Now looking for a mower robot, I am so happy to find a review from a trusted person. It is not clear yet if I have to put the wired around a big tree, same for a flower area with a little wood fence that totally circle it. So maybe I just need to do the external area... but I will find other video or official documentation. I did over estimate my garden and almost went for the L1300 that use no wire and has a camera... but the price is triple!!!

Brian, Thanks for the video. Great info and explanation of pros and cons. I just bought one as I never seem to have time to mow, and when I do its 100 degrees outside. My only concern is my front yard and the short path between the road and sidewalk.

Very informative and I enjoyed your sense of humor.

Nice video. I just got my robot lawnmower today. I´m going to install it tomorow ❤

One of the best instructional videos I have ever watched. Thanks!,,

Great video! I’ve watched already a few of them and this one has a lot of new information I didn’t knew, like the knife shape to go around some corners and the size comparison from the two different models. I’d like to add that my neighbor is my biggest inspiration to get one. Not for competition but because he installed it recently and it’s amazing how well it works and how he constantly has his lawn perfect the whole summer while each time I see mine it’s tall again (I’m in the north of Norway and between midnight sun and plenty of water the grass grows like crazy). The few warm days we have here I want to spend them barbecuing and not mowing. Let me add a beautiful thing I noticed from my neighbor one: wild birds love the robot. Not only they’re not scared of it, they quietly explore the lawn while the robot is working and are not afraid of it at all. I have chickens and I think they’ll love it too.

Really appreciate this video! Great review. Thank you so much!

Well made overview on the topic. I bought a WR 147e.1 (Worx Lanroid L1000) last year, and I felt the same about it, one of the best things we ever bought. I took the larger unit because my 350m² lawn has some offroad features and the L1000 has a movable mow-deck (so it can't run into bumpy humps) and 4 wheels (which I figured, should make it more stable over bumpy terrain). After some time I decided to upgrade it with the ultrasonic sensors, which work really nicely and I don't regret buying them.I also installed a ring of steel spikes on each driven wheel, which helped a lot on slopes. A robot mower will never just work out of the box. I read reviews on them and some people seem to think, it will work from day 1 without any intervention. As you said, they are dumb, moving randomly like a bumble bvee over your garden. So the user needs to invest the thinking and prep the area for the mower. But when you have done that - your lawn isn't any concern anylonger. Always cut, mulched and ready to play.

Re cleaning up after your dog, yep it can get messy. I read a really funny (because it didnt happen to me) story about a robot vacuum cleaner that was left running overnight - cat had a slight accident, the runs to be precise on the living room carpet. That was a horror story to waken up to 😂 but at least the vacuum cleaner was convinced it had done a good job, messaging the owner "cleaning cycle complete" 🤣🤣🤣

Fantastic very clear and very funny, a really good honest review, I'm in Skippyland ( but born in Holles St ) the works are a bit expensive here so I will be buying something similar, thanks again Brian, Sláinte.

Thank you - Have the same model - had the same problems - nice to know somebody shared my pain :-)

This is quite helpful. Thank you for making it

I was excited by this technology, even built a DIY prototype, recently nearly bought one. Now we have achieved the same functionality, by buying my daughter a pair of rabbits. Those are probably more expensive to run, and their hutch takes up more space, but they are more endearing.

Good, level-headed description. Well done.

I've had the WR140 for 3 mowing seasons. The neighbor did chop the perimeter wire with his riding mower. There is a place in our front lawn where it won't follow the wire up the hill. I have the eyes but it gets scared of the willow tree branches. We have a driveway that encircles part of the front lawn but it's mostly rose bushes, holly tree, other bushes and mulch, so my battery powered push mower still gets used for a few minutes per week. I put motorcycle ice studs in the tires and doubled the battery Ah by piggyback to the standard battery. Get the dark green wire, I prefer to solder and heat shrink to the little clip splices.

This is a great video, where I not in a rural area that calls for a multi purpose machine ...I would like one, I myself have vintage garden tractors for mowing, gardening to grow food and clear snow in the winter

Very well done video, excellent content and explanations. Thank you.

Very nice. My Ryobi cordless push mower only hits about 65 dB at my head while mowing. My electric Ryobi riding mower is a bit louder though. They are also all 100% solar charged so other than blades (my yard is not flat by any means) my lawn care is $0 cost of operation.

Thanks for the excellent video!!

Bro! This is an amazing overview of everything robot-mower related! Actually best one of all the internets! I have Worx m500 and fighting it for a couple of years already, so I'm glad I'm not the only one with the same experience. BTW their support and software sucks a big time, so probably would recommend Husqvarna or Stihl for new buyers.

Thanks for this good video. I’m looking for a robotmower for 2 mayor reasons, first i don’t mind to mow the lawn, just that sometimes the weather is good during the day and when i get home from work it starts raining or in october when houre is set to winter-time it’s dark after work. Second reason, i like to ride my motorcycle. And the best time to cut the gras is also the best time to ride, it’s really annoying to be out riding and thinking that the gras is to long and i should be mowing or pushing my mower and hearing other motorcycles passing by. Hope this will fix my issues.

Great information! Thanks... it made me realize that these mowers are not at all compatible for my property.
