Really looking forward to your robotic lawn mower reviews. A robot-mower is on my short list for smart home tech for 2025 and it seems like it could be a big product category in general.
I really wish someone would create is a robot vacuum for my patio. It has a diamond pattern and those groves fill with dirt and debris. It would work well in the garage and drive way too.
Excited by the cool pool cleaner tech, but man, those prices. I feel even more fortunate that you steered me (via your vids) to a Seauto Seal SE back when it was only $350+. BTW, we've had trouble keeping our chemicals balanced the past couple of years, so wireless floating monitors are appealing, but I've wondered about the accuracy and longevity. You use one?
The good news is that flagship prices are usually just to justify R&D and get a feel for what the market will tolerate. I expect we'll see more budget friendly models start popping up more regularly. However, the big companies (Polaris and Dolphin) have been applying the "pool tax" for decades, and I'm pretty sure that desire to keep the premium price tag is what killed Seauto. It's no surprise that when Dolphin licensed the Seauto Seal to sell as the Dolphin Niya the price doubled. I haven't used any of the floating monitors yet.
Just fire the pool guy that costs $200 a month and and subtract chemical costs from that and then whatever is left subtract monthly from the robot cost. You'll get your ROI somewhat quickly. $3000 though is over 2 years approaching 3 and some of these things are lucky to last that long.
Could you expand on the Yarbo problems with delivering on their promises, please. They are on my wish list and will probably be purchasing it in Q4, 2025.
To be honest, I couldn't get very many straight answers from MOVA as to what would be an actual product, and what was just there to show off cool tech. Being such a new company I can't imagine they are going to burst onto the global scene with 20 new products next year, but we'll see.
Would love to see a robotic lawnmower compare from you. They're getting good but the differences are confusing.
That's planned for 2025, probably around May.
THe sonar click communication retranslator station sounds so cool.

Great meeting you at CES! Look forward to the next time we can get together!
100% you too.
cant wait for the robotic lawnmower vid
Not sure who would love a robotic lawn mower more, me or the dog.
I’m looking forward to you doing a super comprehensive comparison of all the robot mowers!
Looking forward to the robot lawn mower test!
I don't even have a house but i live watching your videos
Nice as always! Was hopeful that we could get a glimpse of the Dreame A2 mower.
I don't recall seeing the A2 at the Dreame booth.

Great video as always. Are any of these devices made in the USA?

@@TheHookUp I wasn't aware of the Dolphin/Seauto relationship, but that explains the $ bump.

As I understand there are quite a few kickstarters from the original Yarbo campaign who have still not received working products.
Did you miss the MOVA mower?

Any chance you'll be testing the s3? I know 3k is a bit pricey
The plan is to test them all closer to Father's day.
Yarbo needs a true rotary blade to replace the razor blades. Then I’ll be in.
