I waited almost a year before writing this because I wanted real-world experience, not a first impression. After running these mowers through 100°+ summer heat, sandy soil, rough terrain, and even 11 inches of snow, I can honestly say I’m impressed.
When I first unboxed it, I was skeptical — it looked like a large RC car, and I have two acres to mow. Setup was straightforward. The RTK base install was simple, power cord was plenty long, and mapping was easy to learn.
My property has sugar sand and bare spots (working on Bermuda), so the original wheels struggled with traction. On established grass, it was flawless. The second-gen spiked wheels made a huge difference in sand. I now run two units 24/7 to stay ahead of stickers and weeds, and aside from occasional weed eating around my ground-mount solar arrays (I created no-go zones where it loses signal), it’s basically hands-free.
One thing to know: in extreme heat (100°+), the mower goes into a fail-safe mode. It will leave the charger at 100%, drop voltage, turn around, and head back to the dock. You can pause it manually or just let it manage itself. Once the sun goes down — or the next morning if you use scheduled mowing — it resumes normally. I haven’t tested it yet this year, so there may have been updates, but that was my experience last summer.
Support has been responsive. I did have an issue with fine sand getting into the front wheels and triggering a “lifted” error, but replacement wheels and lubrication solved it. Now it runs reliably.
A tip: map your boundary as close as possible to fences and structures from the beginning — it’s easier to add a no-go zone later than remap everything. AI works great during the day. Night performance isn’t as strong in my experience. If it detects a collision, you’ll need to manually unlock it.
Battery life averages 4–5 hours before auto-charging. I did have one odd offline event, but after updating it resolved and hasn’t happened again.
Overall, after heavy, real-world use in tough conditions, it’s been a solid investment. Once dialed in, it truly becomes “set it and forget it.”
I typed for close to a hour on this rambling on about my experience, English was my worst grades in school, and then had ai proof read it for me so above this was the result of that. I honestly can say I have looked into becoming a partner with them to try and sell these on the side but many of my co workers, as intrigued as they are, still on the fence about giving it a try. I had one person actually interested and I brought a unit to their house (you can run them anywhere from your phone in manual mode but need WiFi to set up base and let it auto pilot) concurred their terrain so definitely got them interested but I don’t believe it will work with the tree coverage they have and there’s not a good place to put the rtk high enough to actually get a signal so they’re looking into other, more expensive options. If you don’t have overhead obstructions and can mount the base on top of a building or way away from house in middle of the yard this mower will work perfect to maintain the yard. It struggles to very tall grass, I definitely tried some 1 foot tall just to see what would happen and the tall blades actually got wrapped up in between whelks and housing causing it to lock up so don’t expect it to mow overgrown but will definitely maintain great. The only other thing I forgot to mention because I do mow so fast, when it goes into very thick grass starts to bog down it will actually slow itself down so it gets a better cut. Doesn’t reverse to get the first spot when blades started to drag but again I’m mowing so frequently the next pass it takes it no problem. When I was originally mowing at recommended speed I never noticed that feature and it was also never a problem but especially where my lateral lines are on sewer is very dense grass and grows quicker than the rest of the yard is where it mainly happens I’ve never seen it anywhere else except some weed I don’t know it’s proper name but very dense. I wish I could add photos to show exactly what I’m talking about but if you’ve made it this far and still on the fence, try the 30 day risk free that’s what I did obviously I didn’t return it so unsure how that process would actually work but I assume they would just send you a shipping label and just return it that’s likely where the refurbished units come from that are much cheaper. I’m going to purchase one of those units this year so I don’t have to deal with the dog fence zone I could just have one for each area because they both run from 1 rtk base so I would just need one more charging dock and mower but then I’ll need one more account to monitor but worth it especially when we travel during the summer I have had to knock down inside fence before since we were gone over a week and it was so tall. Fun fact,4k limit on character for review so bye!
