The idea and value of this gadget is an A Execution so far I’d give it a B (updating to A after several weeks of constant use)Setup: B-I have a number of tall trees in and around my yard, though I still have areas that SHOULD be open enough to get a strong GPS signal. Initial setup was very tricky for it to find a signal – the provided antenna cable was too short so I had to buy an extender. Definitely buy one if you have a shady yard and will need to install your antenna in a different location than your base station. Once I got a signal driving it around the edge of the yard and marking off no go zones was a little tedious but not hard. The biggest annoyance was if you have a no go zone too close to the edge of the boundary it throws up an error saying you cant have a no go zone outside of the boundary. However you can pretty easily adjust your boundaries after you set it up the first time.Quality: A No issues seen so far, the build quality feels really solid, and the tires it comes with have more grip than I was expecting, and my lawn is looking really nice so far. Lots of compliments and curious questions from neighbors too. Wild life in the yard is unbothered too which is great.Software: AReally nice app and customization/management options. My only gripe so far was that when it wouldn’t mow the lawn on the schedule I put it on, it didn’t say it wouldn’t go because of the rain sensor (still a little wet on top even though it wasn’t raining) so I wasted a little time troubleshooting there. Otherwise it’s really great. They also provide support, tutorials, and feedback options right in the app which I really appreciate, and it’s easy to make boundary adjustments, schedule changes, and other customizations. Nice mowing report functionality as well.Performance: AIt’s a little early for me to tell here, so I may update this later but so far it’s been running smoothly and is very quiet. I can’t emphasize how much I appreciate the peace and quiet over having a standard mower going all the time. Lawn looks really nice so far as well, I’m only docking points because with all the little trees and a playground in my yard it takes a pretty long time to figure out the edges before it gets mowing steadily. That said I’m hoping it improves as it learns the yard. To be fair it hasn’t gotten stuck on me once yet.Overall, I really like this as an auto mower option, it’s a really nice competitor to the bigger players using GPS and RTK instead of a wire boundary. The bigger brands cost at least 2-3x what I paid for this. I also really love to see the amount of support this product is getting with frequent updates from the manufacturer – they really seem to be listening to product owners and evolving this product for the better. A year ago I would not have bought this based on reviews and lack of information but I can tell these guys are dedicated to making a good experience here and always improving it and I’m happy to join on that ride.
