FIRST EVER! Oasa R1 Robot Reel Mower with LIDAR - 0.8" to 4" Cut x 13" wide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- We got our hands on the World's First Robot Reel Mower. The Oasa R1 Robot Mower not only has an all-metal 13" Reel blade system, it also uses LIDAR technology along with cameras to map, mow, and avoid obstacles; all with very little user intervention. Adjust the cutting height with the App from 0.8" to 4" in just seconds. This is the first cordless robot reel mower and you can find it on currently on Kickstarter.

I just found you and instantly subscribed. You are a good communicator! Thank you for reviewing this. Especiallly impressive was the demonstration with how clean the scissor-action cuts the paper. Well done! This mower solves really all the objections and problems I had with the previous generation mower that requires the wire installation in the ground.
That is a softball lawn. I would like to see a lawn with different terrains, slopes, and obstacles.
That's really the position of this mower is to be able to handle lawns like turf on a Pro baseball field or on a really nice golf course fairway. While it will cut any type of grass, the reel mower is the best at cutting tight and compact lawns like manicured bermuda, zoysia, etc. Rotary blade mowers just can't compare. Thanks for watching.
a cylinder mower is for a good lawn, not a field or for rough terrain. This is what you would use on a golf course or cricket pitch.
@@Shoptoolreviews great points about the type of grass this is actually for. every video i've seen has been pretty soft.
Thank you so much for this video!
It’s really great how you not only showed it mowing, but it’s also very detailed on the device itself - from unboxing to showing us the ins and outs
Would you say that it is worth it for an average lawn with fescue grass or your standard Scott Sun and Shade Seeded Grass?
What was the noise level?
How was the obstacle avoidance?
I really want to back this on Kickstarter, but have my reservations. I am happy to see a review from a channel that does tool reviews though.
How do you program in no-go zones like if you have an area you want it to keep out in the middle of a lawn map?
Funny how this video doesn’t show it actually cutting grass lol it’s literally covering area that has clearly already been cut.
I agree but to be fair these robots mowers are not designed to take over 1/2inch of grass. they cut every day of the week. I read somewhere that 5 days a week is minimum. on the initial cut if it is above 1/2 inch you have to precut the lawn.
how was the noise level compared to a rotary mower?
seemed espacially the reel action/cutting was clearly hearable.
came from recording or was also "that loud" in real?
that's a really good question!
Please, @Shoptoolreviews , answer this question
@@matthiasseuchter2622 The website and other videos show the noise level to be quite quiet - about 55 dB
I remember using a reef mower and they do a great job as long as the blade is sharp, they are a pain to sharpen. Is the blade on that mower removable for sharpening? Apart from initial the cost of the mower what is the cost of replacement batteries?
This mower actually uses Voiceprint Detection Algorithm that "listens" to ensure the blades are contacting the bed, and realtime adjusts accordingly. This keeps the blades sharp (self-sharpening), almost eliminating blade maintenance.
We are not sure on the price for replacement batteries.
@@Shoptoolreviews @adrianharrison4728 It is important...IMHO....to note that the battery at least does seem replaceable.
Couple of things.
#1 NEVER cut your grass that short. Unless you have a sprinkler system you are asking for trouble.
#2 Reel mowers require SUPER flat surfaces so if your lawn is bumpy this is a no go.
#3 20:16 you can see where it does not go back over its perimeter cut and leaves high areas.
#4 If you are not into adjusting stuff this isn't for you. Reel mowers are generally hard to sharpen and require constant sharpening and blade adjustments to ensure that the blade tolerance is perfect.
This to me seems like the complete opposite of why you would want to purchase a robot mower for.
You may have some general opinions that are correct, but not necessarily absolutes.
#1 - No, you don't want to cut St. Augustine down to 1", and many other grasses. However, taking bermuda carefully down to 1" is fairly common. In fact, the ideal height for cutting Bermuda grass is 0.5 to 1.5 inches. This height promotes a healthy root system and encourages a dense and lush lawn. (theturfgrassgroup.com) And, the ideal cut for Zoysia is 1-1/2".
#2 - Mostly correct. Reel mowers are most beneficial for flat and mostly pristine lawns. However, reel mowers pre-date our now common rotary mowers, and they work just fine in many lawns.
#3 - The idea of a robot mower is that you schedule it to run multiple times each week. It's not perfect on a single pass, but after it cuts several times during the week, it has cut all the missed areas. Also, areas around the edge, you can select to use the "Hover" mode when mapping, as we did on part of the small strip, and this straddles the edge of the lawn and the sidewalk/road, making sure the edges are cut. Lastly, having a robot mower doesn't mean you will never have to use a string trimmer.
#4 - This mower actually uses Voiceprint Detection Algorithm that "listens" to ensure the blades are contacting the bed, and realtime adjusts accordingly. This keeps the blades sharp (self-sharpening), almost eliminating blade maintenance.
We really appreciate the input and thank you for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews Did you show how to raise the reel to it's highest setting, that's an important feature, a "high cut" or the highest cut for St. Augustine
do the robot always needs internet connection ?
@@barbukcity No, just to check firmware.
@@barbukcity No, I don't believe so. A WiFi connection seems to be needed only while communicating with the R1 with your phone for scheduling and programming. The unit relies on LIDAR during normal operation.
God. Ego needs to come out with their version of a robot mower!! What is taking so long?? I need a proper rotary blade for my thick St Augustine Grass here in northeast Florida!!
Are they able to address the washboarding at 20:20 (can you drive slower and will reel run at high speed)
Is the cutting height 3 or 4 inches? The official website states 3 inches.
The production model will have 4 inches.
So first he says i removed the battery so it wont start while my hand is on the blade, then he puts the battery in and sticks his hand in the blade. Good job! Oh and maybe not the best idea to set this thing down on the lidar cage.
I was also thinking not a good place for the battery.
@@jasonvandervalk3679 being in the bottom is definitely inconvenient if you do need to change the battery often, but I’m more concerned how rust resistant those screws are.
It would be nice to see Y'all Mow a Yard that Needs to be cut This Yard looks like it was Premowed
I have 2 Luba 1 mowers and a Yarbo on the way in October.
I'm hoping Yarbo eventually adds a reel mower module down the road. For now, I don't need it. But if I get my yard in really good shape, I may want a reel mowing option.
My loss often has debris (e.g. acorns) . Does that make it a no-go for me? (I definitely don't want to have to clear my lawn before using the mower)? TIA
In the age of AI, I could see eventually a product like this just having a sort of built-in "gardener" that you could talk to. And you could say, "Okay, mow all the lawns at 2 and a half inches and let's do checkerboard this time."
It needs brushes at the front to avoid sucking in debris. One Little Rock and that reel is useless, is it replaceable?
does it always needs WiFi connection?
No, I believe the wifi is only for when you are communicating to the R1 with your phone for programming and scheduling. It relies on LIDAR and its internal maps while operating.
I have thick St. Augustine Floratam grass in Florida, do you think this reel mower blade will work on my type of grass? Or, is it only meant for a super low cut?
The production model is designed to cut up to 4" grass height.
@@dmark2639 Looking at the design it doesn'[ seem like it would do well with thick high grass. I think it's meant for a low tight cut even though it "can" cut as high as 4".
@@dmark2639 We'll see how well it does once it goes out for consumers to use it the real world.
@@oldkid6 I'll know in April/May 2025 when my R1 is scheduled to arrive...
