Ultimate Robotic Lawn Mower Battle (Under $1,000) 

That sounds pretty good to me. I think the technology will just keep getting better

No you can put a guidewire around it and it will work just fine.

Yep they have some new ones that are like $3,500

You're fired 😅

Por que?

@@TheLawnReviewLuba 1000. Under 2k, no boundry wires.

Haha thank you! Which one are you going with?

Stihl because I have several other batteries that will fit the mower @@TheLawnReview

Electric mowers are amazing as long as you're okay with cutting your grass more often. They weigh absolutely nothing, so you can fly through the yard really fast. But don't let the grass get higher then 2 inches or you're gonna have a bad time

Yep they can’t handle more than 20 degree slopes I believe

Thank you! We will never give in!

If you want technology only at such a high minimum viable product threshold, we would all still be waiting for the first iPhone, which by your standards, might be something like the iPhone 30. 😁 That kind of standard would also make consumers angry, since such a principle would require warranty servicing for simple problems, raising the price even more… …that, or insurance rates and deductibles. And then you could be without your gadgets for days, or weeks at a time. Is that the world you want to live in? Not to mention the fact such a principle maligns the consumer’s “right to repair.”

@@HSTRTGMS Companies build trust and reputation over time by consistently delivering products that meet or exceed customer expectations. Intentionally releasing flawed products at a high price can quickly erode this trust and damage the company's reputation. In the age of social media and online reviews, negative feedback spreads rapidly, potentially harming future sales and brand loyalty. Consumer satisfaction is paramount for long-term success. While some customers might initially purchase expensive products based on brand name or marketing hype, if those products turn out to be flawed or unreliable, it leads to disappointment and dissatisfaction. This can result in returns, exchanges, or even legal action, all of which incur costs for the company and inconvenience for the consumer. The essence of a good business transaction lies in providing value to the customer. A high price tag for a flawed product undermines this fundamental principle. Consumers expect their investment to be justified by the quality, performance, and durability of the product. When flaws emerge, it diminishes the perceived value and can lead to feelings of buyer's remorse. Successful companies aim to cultivate long-term relationships with their customers. This requires not only delivering quality products but also providing excellent customer service and support. When flaws are discovered, how a company handles the situation can greatly impact customer loyalty. In a competitive market, consumers have choices. If one company consistently offers flawed products at high prices, consumers are likely to seek alternatives from competitors who provide better value for their money. This dynamic encourages companies to prioritize quality and innovation to stay ahead of the competition and retain their customer base. Building a successful business requires a commitment to delivering value, earning trust, and prioritizing customer satisfaction over immediate gains. Your Apple analogy is severely flawed as Apple has always released quality products in lieu of being the first to market with a new flawed product. ✌️

@@HSTRTGMS such a valid point, but I think it still stands that the user experience is an important buying decision.

Tell me about it.

Wow - what did you do with the Landroid? That's a bunch of money to drop.

I’m gonna sell the Landroid. 2021 shopped and researched and bought the Landroid from a Liquidator for $400, then last week I was out of town on a business trip and found a used Automower 115 (2019 model) on Marketplace. Now I need to purchase a Automower off marketplace.

hey it’s been 8 months, how was it?

Yeah supposedly the Luba does the back and forth pattern! Pretty expensive though in comparison to these models. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before they all cut that way. But yeah actually the husband accepted it and then the lady rejected it and I brought it back to my house! She said she didn’t like that it was self propelled. Go figure lol. I told her she could just not use it if she didn’t want to but she liked her mower better haha

The guide and the boundary is same tech, just applied differently in the software, this was a Husqvarna patent that just recently lapsed so other manufacturers can now use it. Anyway, the signal from the boundary and the guide is not enough to tell the mower where it is, it just tells the mower what side of the wire it is (inside or outside). There are boundary machines that does the pattern cutting put they are to sensitive for disruptions (Bosch Indigoo) and mostli for minimal lawns. Systematic cutting needs minimum two systems to work properly, kinematics and RTK or Kinematics and Camera/radar navigation. You basically need backups for the backup systems or the mower will frequently get lost.

The random pattern is much better than back and forth. Remember, these things run every day. If they followed the same pattern, you'd end up with grooves in your lawn

Probably a good idea. Mine was struggling compared to the other two

gardena or husqvarna made in same factory, 100% same model out of outside plastic

@domz3398 not true. Husqvarna has different specs and is narrowest. It is the cheaper lower end brand still made by Husqvarna though

I have the Gardena Sileno City and I've never had any issues with it other than needing a software update. If it broke down on you after a year and a half, you should have still been covered under the 3 year warranty. You shouldn't have had to pay anything.

@biz1boom thanks for sharing that. I had trouble with it too but hope they’ve fixed it.

Honestly Gardena was pretty bad. I can’t in good conscience tell you to buy that

Thanks this is helpful for potential buyers

Why

Stay tuned

lol I don’t have them anymore

What is this

Not anytime soon!

@@TheLawnReview ok😮‍💨 mowing is my life😂

Agreed!

What

Noticed what?

That's a great question, Katie. I think many of these have moisture detectors (or should) where they don't go out in the rain. But wet grass I think the answer is that it will get cut....eventually. Appreciate you watching this one just like you did the electric mower showdown!

Same

It doesn't cut as cleanly as normal mowers - that's for sure. But it will go back and cut that same line 10x before it calls it a day.

Yes but they’re pretty expensive. Like more than $2,000. I think Mammotion Luba is one?

It isn't super noticeable but its a lack of stripes for sure

Hahaha what??

Wow I love to hear that. How much did you grab it for?

Time for automates sprinkler system! Only thing left is the trim. Which i dont see being automated for another hundred years. Final touches and trim is extremely difficult to automate, it may take even longer, 200-300 years to get something that complex.

Although that gave me an idea for an automated edger. Im sure the market abd public just isn't ready for that. People already contemplate 2k for a mower. An edger would be around the same price. Must more precise. I would guess a 2 in 1 system could ve made reasonably affordable in 100 years.

Lazy is what it's called. Smh

@@davepalmer9265 errhm.. its more likely 3-5 years tops

Who are you

Wow. Big lawn?

@@TheLawnReview three acres. I use the robots to mow around the house because we had tons of Illinois weed and over burr type growth that was growing faster than the lawn. The burrs would get all over the pets and everywhere. I deployed the robot mowers and the burr problem disappeared. I mow the rest with a craftsman 3500.

It is typically buried so it should be okay. I’m also a big fan of mulching and not bagging. If you’re worried I’d wait for newer models or be prepared to shell out a ton of cash

Thanks for watching Sandy!!

I think it should be okay. If it’s an inch or so then it will not have a problem

Bot

Wow that’s wild. Sorry you had a bad experience

Okay

Oh dang I’m sorry to hear that

Thanks !

Yezzir! Blade’s lifespan depends on your turf conditions but mine last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. They’re delicate but super easy to change

@@TheLawnReview Thanks. This may keep my neighbors from giving me the fuzzy eyeball because I'm not mowing my fenced in back yard as much as I should.

Yes haha

Hey! They definitely have that capability but the three I was reviewing are more of the “economical” versions that cost less than $1k.

Yeah the technology is advancing super quickly. I'm sure there willl be amazing ones for under $1,000 soon. Thanks for watching!

You would really think so...

Yes exactly!

Yeah about a year ago… pretty miserable but I’m doing a whole lot better

Hahaha! I worry that eventually they might all band together and take over the world.

I don’t have it anymore 😟

Hmm mine didn’t have that or maybe I’m just an idiot haha

Oh no! Try the Husqvarna

Your boundary wire probably sank too low

Above this model of the automower?

Good idea

Basically

That’s my take as well. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! 👍

Look at the Luba Mammotion

Ecovacs GOAT

No thank you

this is a@@TheLawnReview This is business cooperation, the content of the cooperation is to test our controller and take a video for us, what do you think?

It’s a joke haha

Dos!

Numero Tres

Hmmm need a translator

sorry,... Your lawn was not optimally prepared for this test. If you want to mow tall grass and uneven terrain, a Sthil robotic lawnmower would be a better choice. He has a solid and strong knife. However, most robotic lawnmowers first require a basic cut with a hand-operated lawnmower. Any unevenness that is too severe should also be corrected. I have been using the old Gardena model R40Li for 8 years and have had no problems with it.

😮

Most of these can't cut 4-5 inches high. They are slow, but they are basically mowing 24/7

It would not work at all. I had to call the manufacturer.

Yeah I’m not a fan of it either but the app ones are so expensive

Worx is a good one. Pretty cheap and easy to use. But I would get a battery one so they don’t get tripped up on cords

@@TheLawnReview so the worx is better than the husqvarna? I wad under the impression all the robot mowers were cordless

Sorry I was confused at which video I was commenting on. The Husqvarna is the best here and yes they’re all cordles
