Unless you have perfectly flat yard with no hard edges, get used to breaking the ground wire on this POS. I used more than 2x the recommended pegs and I still manage to break the loop wire almost every month with the edge trimmer. It is nearly impossible not to. Save your money and go for a more modern design with no boundary wires, I have not looked back. The Moebot just ended up frustrating the hell out of me, it would have literally been easier to just mow my lawn.
Great feedback, thanks for sharing it. I didn't use an edge trimmer when I tested it, and didn't have issues with the boundary wire, but I can see why you would. New mowers are on the market now that use AI or 'beacons' to get rid of the boundary wires, which is a needed improvement. Which model did you end up choosing?
Hi Brett, because the blades cut the grass into a very fine mulch, the clippings simply fertilise the lawn and don't need to be raked up. This type of mower only trims a little bit of the grass each time it runs, and the mower cuts the lawn often.
Since your lawn doesn’t have walls like a robot vacuum, the boundary wire is needed to tell it where the cutting area ends. Even if it has LiDAR, which some models do, it would still not be able to easily tell the difference between a lawn ending, and say, a sidewalk beginning. We expect to see more advanced mowers that can do this coming out in the future, but they are not here yet.
