You have experience with mowers with the big drive wheels at the front and with the drive wheels at the rear of the mower. Have you come to any conclusions as to which may be a better design or at least the pros and cons of the designs?
Hi. We are planning a video that illustrates the differences and perhaps even the similarities of that great question! Thanks again for watching the videos.
Very good, I'm impressed with the robotic voice and little man. However, do you think it will keep working on a regular programme day in day out for weeks on end with little or no intervention apart from a bit of cleaning once in a while?
Hello and thank you for watching and for your kind comments. As for the performance of our unit, it is reliable most of the time with one caveat. At the completion of every zone the default, which is unchangeable, is for the mower to perform two edge cuts, one inner and one outer. Approximately 20% of the time the mower gets trapped on the outer edge cut. Mind you, it's not really trapped, it just thinks it is. Compounding this issue is that the developers have not either been able to, or wanted to, listen to us as beta testers and now owners to allow the users to modify the edge cutting as an option to be zero, one, or two edge cuts. Additionally, when the mower is trapped, it signals an alarm that necessitates the user to physically go to the unit, press the okay button followed by the mow button in order to clear the alarm in order to continue. If we were running it on a schedule and away from our home, we would conclude that the unit is unreliable 20% of the time which is unacceptable. Fortunately for us, we are always around when the unit is mowing, so we are just inconvenienced when this happens, but can keep it mowing as much as we need it to. When the unit is mowing the inner parts of the zone, going back and forth, it cuts well, stripes beautifully and is reliable even under trees. The custom parameters allow for so much user input. Those qualities make the unit desirable for us. We hope this information helps. We also hope that the developers listen to the feedback and implement the changes like they have done most of the times in the past, providing a steadily improving user experience that their over the air updates have allowed.
Great video. 👍
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
