For $600 that sounds like a great deal!
Cuts at night while we sleep. Nice.
I’m always down for one less chore!! 🤣 Thanks for watching!
Hi Mike, watching from New Zealand. Looks like a reliable time saving device. I've bought some SKIL tools based on your reviews from Amazon US and had them shipped here for free. You have a good channel.
Hey Murray! Always makes me happy to hear from viewers in faraway places!! Glad you like the channel and that the Skil tools worked out! Thanks for watching!!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Yeah they have worked out well. It's cheaper to buy SKIL tools and have them shipped for free by Amazon US to New Zealand than it costs to buy Stanley tools here. Same sort of quality tools. Amazon US basically gives NZ users prime shipping for free to try to break into the NZ market.
Having one less thing to worry about and do makes the 600 dollar price tag much easier to swallow
Agreed. I’ve made it 45 years old and still no robot butler so I’ll take what I can get! Thanks for watching!
I have 3 robot mowers: two Segway i110N (RTK no-boundary wire), and a Worx WR147 (boundary wire like the one in this video). Robot mowers are NOT for everyone. It depends on how hands on you're willing to be to learn it's abilities. Many expect robot mowers to take care of all yard work. Sometimes, but not always possible. It depends on YOUR yard. Neighbors right next door to one another could have vastly different experiences using the same exact robot mower! Again, because yards are different layout wise.
The learning curve can be fun, yet frustrating This is especially true for those that don't value the limitations and how to work with those limitations. There WILL be some interaction at some point, but overall they will save you time. I absolutely love the 3 I have.
RTK based (no boundary wire) is best for when you have clear site of the sky for the mower and antenna - the antenna and mower do NOT need to see one another. They only need to "see" the same satellites in the sky.
Boundary mowers (like in the video) is best for when trees or other structures block a clear sky to satellites. Though doing the upfront work requires patience that most folks don't have.
To succeed:
Clean your yard
Add soil/grass to level your lawn
Teach your kids to pickup their crap
You may need to do edging yourself....depending on your layout
Don't expect perfection
Do expect great time saver when you do your part first
$600 sounds like a great price! Looks like it did a good job on ground ivy. Maybe next year you can show us how well it cuts grass 😉
We had a large 4th of July party and I didn’t want the yard destroyed. Now thats done I can start pulling all that ivy up and dethatching. Promises to a disaster for sure! 🙄🤡 thanks for watching Streetsbolt!
Mike after all this time of watching and digging your logo, it finally occurred to me that it is a star from the Chicago city flag.
Lol! I always wondered what percentage of viewers knows what that logo means. Here in Chicago that flag is everywhere from tshirts to tattoos and posted on buildings and store windows but if you’re not here why would you know. Thanks for watching Meat!
Another great review. I am considering a robot vacuum for my yard LOL. Looking forward to the follow up Vid.
Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews you have some of the best reviews. In depth and honest. Keep them coming.
Pretty Cool, MIKE! 👍👍
Not a bad price! 💵
Seems like a fairly good option for $600 honestly and cuts better than expected. Thanks for watching!
How would it handle a typical city lot that is broken up by sidewalks?
I’ll bet it would be fine. I expected the holes in my yard would stop it and be a problem but not at all so far and we’ve done a couple cuts since the vid. Thanks for watching!
I bet the blades are double edged because the motor spins in both directions on alternate cuts. Battery seems very small - since it has to recharge so much I'd be worried about the life of the battery. Thanks for the review.
That’s an interesting thought. I’ll have to watching the blades to see if they wear on both sides. The one side took a beating when we mowed the rock by the tree in the vid. Thanks for watching Bobby!
Strap a GoPro to the top and do a time-lapse of the cut. 😄
Very cool Mike!
First…. NOT WEEDS - Clover! And micro-clover is becoming a big deal over a traditional grass lawn because it takes less water (but the seeds are $$$). I have seen it used on This Old House more and more.
Second…. I doubt this would work on my grass here in Southern California being it is Kikuyu grass which like Bermuda is extremely tough, invasive and spongy and basically grows sideways (so tough in fact if you pull up a clump of it you can sometimes get a rope-like sideways root that can be 3-4 feet long!)
Third…. A few years back the YT channel Garden Answer were given a Husqvarna model to try out (I think $2,000). They liked it but for their size property of several acres it did not make sense.
Fourth: More expensive models from Husqvarna and others now use location tracking with no wire needed. To me that is the way to go, but those can be $3,000 to nearly $6,000.
And Fifth: I just don’t get residential yards that are not fenced in - What’s the deal? How can you have a dog then? I see that so often on videos in areas back East, the South and all. Here in California I don’t think I have ever seen a home without a backyard fence, even larger properties. Just strange to me…..
I’ll take your clover compliment but the reality is that’s creeping Charlie or similar in that yard. I wish it was clover 😂 We moved here about 4 months ago and there’s been higher priority’s than the lawn.
I agree a gps model is superior to this for a number of reasons. Top for me would be the ability to easily change mowing sections and patterns. Next to the deck I didn’t get the wire as close to the edge as I would have liked. The only fix is to dig up the wire and now that it’s too short I’ll need to cut and splice which I’d like to avoid since that’s now a higher point of failure. Also we’ll be expanding the deck eventually which will require moving the wire.
Maybe it’s the Chicago city guy in me but having a $3k mower in the front yard by itself where someone could grab it would have me constantly stressed.
As far as the fence goes, most homes in Chicagoland have fences but some don’t. I suppose this house never got one because of the park behind us. It’s kinda cool to look straight out into the park. Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectsForAllReviews Overall it did a great job! We are more in-tune with Chicago because our kid is going to Columbia Art College and will be moving in end of August (along with a friend). We are from Orange County, CA so very different from Chicago. But when they visited there to check it out in April (along with Knox College in Galesburg) they both really liked it. Their friend is from Oakland so he’s a bit more use to that kind of atmosphere. I’m originally from the San Francisco area. My mom was from Chicago and when I was kid in the 60’s we take the train to see my grandfather there. My niece went to Northwestern (and will be teaching at Chicago Art Institute) so we do have a lot of connections to that city. Maybe I’ll become a Cubs fan!
What would it do if there was a obstacle in its path (bicycle lawn furniture)
Bump into it, back off and turn around because of the sensors between the body and chassis.
It has an algorithm it follows where it repeatedly bumps to try to get past. After a couple bumps it does a larger half circle to try and get around. It’ll keep going on the original path if it clears. Should have demonstrated in this vid but we’ll see it in the follow up for sure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Mike, but it's nought but a toy. Won't last.
I don’t disagree but we’ll find out for sure. I have it scheduled to cut 3 times a week from now on. Thanks for watching Rick!
