Change the charging plates into inductive charging, wouldn't be very hard to do it's a pretty big area and they are very close to each other so that should work fine.
That makes sense. Something needs to change. I wonder how many other users experienced similar problems. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. 😃 👍
I went Luba over Blade. Very similar prices in UK. Support for Luba needs to be improved. But in terms of spec and capabilities, it wins hands down - unless you need the sweeper. Blade looks "cross eyed" to me 😀. Thanks for the vids
Same here. The night I submitted my order to Amazon, I noticed a growing content of negative reviews on the the Anker Blade, so I went with Mammotion. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done as long as I clean it (the caked up grass clipping) every month.
All I can say is their customer service was right on top of things and responded quickly to help you send it back ,I'm glad you avoided the $65 ( now THAT'S ridiculous) happy mowing !
Seriously. It is one of the coolest designs of the robot mowers out there...Hopefully they can correct the errors. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
Your Blade was the first iteration model, they had a second version that was manufactured in February which had a slightly different black spinning disc and updated “wireless” charging 6-pins for each pad. I had the second version but returned mine yesterday due to similar issues of LiDAR not stopping it from running through high grass outside the boundary zone, occasionally getting some kind of map drifting/offset causing it to go outside boundaries or end up in my landscaping. One day last week I received a mowing deck motor error, I flipped it over to find all three razor blades were gone, one even having the nut which holds the screw in place for a razor blade. I found two of the blades in the yard where my kids could have stepped on them and one is still missing. Thankfully they allowed me to return it for a full refund. I’d be open to trying it again in the future but they need manual mowing and the camera assisted mapping before I revisit it.
Hopefully they'll fix and improve the mower cause I also thought it seem to be a good little mower. Glad they have good customer service, but man I'm not sure I would have been smart enough to put everything in proper place for return shipment. 💕
Jeff, sorry to hear about your problems with this junk. Thanks for showing us how to return it! Don't believe this will be for sale next year. They need to start from scratch and get rid of those crazy front wheels. I heard they get stuck easily.
My front wheels didn't get stuck, however I did have to dig out sticks from in-between the segments. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. 😃
I just searched Amazon, and I can't find it anymore, they delisted it. If you Google for it, you can find the hidden listing, and they've stopped selling on Amazon for now because of the massive number of one star reviews recently.
@danyeo I've heard they updated the charging port so that should be an improvement. The charging was the most frustrating part for me. Let me know what you think if you end up getting one. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 👍
Luba for the win?
Lol...it's definitely holding up better. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment 🙂 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u Great content. Thank you for spending the time testing.

Hey CrazyPostman!! 😁
Lots of bad design on these units, Luba seem to be far better.

I agree, their customer service was impressive. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
How can something that looks so well built and SO COOL fail SO BAD !

@@Jeffreviews4u That's another con I heard about. Keep up the great reviews Jeff!

This thing is on sale for $999 at Walmart. Worth it for that price?
Just ordered one..... I can't believe the mess this dudes lawn is.....

@ASEKen the joys of living in the country. Lol. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂
One less Robot to try to take over the world!! (or take over Jeffs yard!)
Lol...it was hard to part with it...but it had to go. Haha. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 👍
@@Jeffreviews4u love watching your video! Are you sure the red "eyes" didn't mean that it was getting ready to take over? Have a great day!
Do it the old fashioned way. With a push lawn mower. That is nothing but crap.
Lol...there's no fun in the old fashioned way. Ha. It's a lot more fun to watch a robot mow. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. 😃 👍
😮
Hopefully they've corrected the issues. I had the first generation, let us know how it works. Thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 👍
