The Ultimate Robot Mower Showdown - Best Picks for Every Yard

If you're thinking about getting your first robot lawn mower or upgrading and you're not quite sure where to start with all the robot lawnmowers out there, this video is for you. You're in the

right place. I'm Jimmy with Andrew.

right place. I'm Jimmy with Andrew.

Welcome to Freshly Charged. In today's

video, we're going to share with you our experiences with all 12 robot lawnmowers that we've reviewed on this channel, and we're going to tell you some lessons that we've learned, some important

lessons that you should know before buying your first robot lawn mower. Then

we're going to break down each one talking about their strengths, their weaknesses, and hand out some awards to some of our favorite robot lawnmowers.

Before we jump into this, let's answer the question, Andrew, what are the benefits of having a robot lawnmower?

Biggest thing for me is just saving time. I have two kids underneath 2 years

time. I have two kids underneath 2 years old, and I would prefer to spend two extra hours with them a week than mow my lawn. Second biggest reason is it makes

lawn. Second biggest reason is it makes your lawn look great, and it makes it look like it's freshly cut all the time.

You get to save time with these robot lawn mowers. They do the work so you can

lawn mowers. They do the work so you can do what you want to do or what you need to do and you get to have a great looking lawn. The reason why we're able

looking lawn. The reason why we're able to ride all those scooters, all those electric dirt bikes, those electric unicycles is because we don't have to spend time mowing our lawns. If you

think about major inventions that have really freed us up, the washing machine, the dishwasher, the microwave, this is the next step. Let's go ahead and start out with how you go about choosing your

robot lawn mower. Choosing your first robot lawn mower can be a pretty daunting task. If you just put in a

daunting task. If you just put in a simple Google search, you're going to have a ton of different results and it's going to be really overwhelming. But let

us tell you, after having reviewed 12 robot lawnmowers, I think there is a way that you can go about it systematically that's going to help take away some of the frustration and the confusion. First

off, start with your yard size. figure

out how big your yard is and go from there. Because there are mowers that can

there. Because there are mowers that can do large yards and we've arranged our mowers like this. In the back row, we have mowers that can do medium to large

yards. And then the front row, we have

yards. And then the front row, we have mowers that are great for small to medium-sized yards. So, basically, look

medium-sized yards. So, basically, look at it as like you're a UFC fighter. What

kind of fighter do you need for your fight? Are you going with small to

fight? Are you going with small to average weight class or are you going the average to large weight class? Once

you figured out how large your yard is and what size of a mower you need, then you can look at the pricing. Some mowers

can start under $1,000. Other mowers can be well over 34 $5,000. And then there's everything in between. See what fits your budget best. After that, think

about your yard. Do you have rough terrain? Are you nice, even, and flat?

terrain? Are you nice, even, and flat?

Do you have trees? Do you have good Wi-Fi signal? And then lastly, you'll

Wi-Fi signal? And then lastly, you'll want to look at the different name brands. There are a lot of robot mowers

brands. There are a lot of robot mowers out there. Some of them are startups

out there. Some of them are startups that are just getting going. Others have

been established and they have a reputation of being a good quality mower. All these things you'll want to

mower. All these things you'll want to take into consideration when choosing your robot lawn mower. We've made review videos on all of these mowers and so if

you want granular indepth detail then check out those mower videos. We'll have

it down in the description for you to check out. Oh, the other thing if you're

check out. Oh, the other thing if you're looking at a robot lawn mower and it requires you to lay down perimeter wire or boundary wire then avoid it at all cost because that tech is old. All of

these either use an RTK system which is a satellite or they use lidar or vision based system or a combination of both.

We also have one mower that's controlled by a remote control. This is the Navim Mo I 110. It's a very simple design, perfect for small yards, mainly because

of the battery size and because of the way it cuts and so it's going to be a little messy here. I haven't cleaned this one in a while. One spinning disc with three blades. If you're not

familiar with robot lawnmowers, most of them use these little kind of razor blades. They're effective, affordable,

blades. They're effective, affordable, easy to replace. You can find it on Amazon. You can find on Segway's

Amazon. You can find on Segway's website. Normally, this runs for under

website. Normally, this runs for under $1,000. It's a very simple machine.

$1,000. It's a very simple machine.

Manual dial to change the height of your blade. It uses vision a little bit to

blade. It uses vision a little bit to navigate to see where it's going, but its main navigation system is using RTK and the satellites. What I love best

about this is it's simple, it's durable, and it lasts. We've had this for 2 years. I love that it's lightweight. Its

years. I love that it's lightweight. Its

simplicity makes it pretty lightweight, so you can pick it up and move it to different sections of your yard if there are barriers that keep it from going on its own. It's a dependable machine that

its own. It's a dependable machine that is backed by Navimo, which is a subsidiary of Segue. But let's talk about the drawbacks. There's no real handle. Even though it's lightweight,

handle. Even though it's lightweight, you think this is a handle, but this is actually where it goes to charge.

There's no way to grab this. To pick it up, I actually have to lift it from underneath, right? Not difficult, but

underneath, right? Not difficult, but something so small and compact, I would like a handle in either the front or the back. These single discs, you're getting

back. These single discs, you're getting about an 8 in uh 6 7 8 in diameter wide stripe on your lawn. So, it's a narrow stripe, and that is going to be a

problem with all these smaller mowers that just use one cutting disc. But, if

you just have a small yard and you don't mind the narrow lines, this thing does a great job. And another issue with this

great job. And another issue with this is it's only two wheel drive. So if you have steep inclines or you have lots of divots in your yard, you're going to run into issues with it getting stuck. Now,

with a Wi-Fi connection, if you live somewhere where you have poor Wi-Fi or no Wi-Fi connection, all of these mowers that use Wi-Fi, you can opt for the cellular option. Some of these mowers,

cellular option. Some of these mowers, it's free for a year or a month, but after that, you'll have to pay a small fee to have that feature. We need to talk about maintenance. These robot

lawnmowers are not maintenancefree.

Obviously, there's no fuels that need to be changed. You don't have to winterize

be changed. You don't have to winterize it, but you have to make sure they you keep updating them. You change the blades and you regularly clean the bottom. Each mower will be different,

bottom. Each mower will be different, but in general, you just want to clean it off because stuff can build up and it makes the mower less efficient, less effective. Luckily, on just about all

effective. Luckily, on just about all these mowers, the app will remind you to do that maintenance. The UI E18 has been the surprise of the group. It does not

use an RTK system. One of the few mowers that we have that does not use an RTK satellite system. Instead, this uses a

satellite system. Instead, this uses a visionbased system. So, kind of like the

visionbased system. So, kind of like the Tesla cars, their robo taxis or when you put them in autonomous driving mode, this uses cameras to see where to go and

to navigate. This is the easiest mower

to navigate. This is the easiest mower to map. Put it down, ask it to map. It

to map. Put it down, ask it to map. It

recognizes where the charging pad is, and then it just maps the yard all on its own. Pretty darn amazing that it

its own. Pretty darn amazing that it doesn't need to connect to any satellites. It just sees where your yard

satellites. It just sees where your yard is, where the boundary of the grass is, and then through the app, you can fine-tune it. You can tell it where if

fine-tune it. You can tell it where if your yard blends with your neighbor's yard. You can tell it where to end to

yard. You can tell it where to end to draw boundaries. The easiest mower to

draw boundaries. The easiest mower to set up by far. This mower is great for little lawns. And so if you have a

little lawns. And so if you have a little lawn, pretty simple terrain. This

mower is even simpler than the Segway.

You have the one single cutting disc with the three blades. You have the one caster wheel and then your two wheels in the back that drive it. I set this up at my sister's house at the beginning of

the summer and then I said bye to my sister and I never heard about this again. It just did its thing. So, it was

again. It just did its thing. So, it was not I did not get one call from my sister about how do I do this or it got stuck or it's wandering. Either she was able to figure it out and she's not very

tech-savvy. Love you little sis. Or it

tech-savvy. Love you little sis. Or it

just fixed itself. And so, I love that it's smart enough to use vision to see where to go to map. Simple setup, simple design, simple to use, and it just

works. What I don't like about it, I

works. What I don't like about it, I just wish that they made this so that it could do a bigger yard. RTKbased mowers

have issues if you put the mowers up against houses, if you have tons of tree coverage. The UI E18 is by far the best

coverage. The UI E18 is by far the best mower that we found that works when you have tons of coverage like trees or tall buildings. Now, the drawbacks to this is

buildings. Now, the drawbacks to this is it needs a simple area to work. And so

if you have complex terrain, it will get stuck because it's pretty simple down here. If you need this to mow, let's

here. If you need this to mow, let's say, your front yard, which is separated from your backyard by steps or by rocks, you can't do it because this has to be

within line of sight and within driving ability from its station so that it knows where it is because everything is in relation to where its station is. And

if you lift it up to move it to the front yard to mow while an RTKbased system can figure it out because they're using satellites, this guy gets lost.

And so I wish that they sold or had second base stations so I can set a base station in my front of my house and in the back of the house so that I could easily lift this up, which I can because

this comes with a handle. I could lift this up, take it to my front yard, throw it on the ground, and just have it use its smart navigation system, its vision based system to continue mowing. This is

the MMO Luma Mini, and it's the only all-wheel drive mower in the small to medium class. And let's just go ahead

medium class. And let's just go ahead and do a quick walkthrough of this mower. Front suspension, which is pretty

mower. Front suspension, which is pretty cool.

One of the few mowers that actually has suspension. Motor in all four tires. And

suspension. Motor in all four tires. And

in the front, it has these rollers so it can make tight turns. One of the few robot lawnmowers with a removable battery. So, if the battery ever goes

battery. So, if the battery ever goes bad 5 years down the road, you can just simply replace it. On the bottom of this mower is a single rotating disc with razor blades. And it also has adjustable

razor blades. And it also has adjustable height that's not manual, so you can adjust it through the app. I have a lot of river rock at my house, and all these two wheel drive mowers cannot make it over it. My favorite things about this

over it. My favorite things about this mower is that it's all-wheel drive and can tackle steep terrain and climb over river rock. The other really cool thing

river rock. The other really cool thing about the mowers is Mad Motion makes some of the sexiest, sleekst mowers out there. This almost looks like a mini

there. This almost looks like a mini race car. Really nice handles to lift it

race car. Really nice handles to lift it up. It is a little bit heavier. So,

up. It is a little bit heavier. So,

that's the one downside is it's heavier.

RTK stations can also be a little bit spotty. I have three large pine trees at

spotty. I have three large pine trees at my house. And one thing I do find with

my house. And one thing I do find with RTKbased mowers, they do tend to lose satellite coverage when they get underneath these large trees. But

overall, it's a great mower and has one of our favorite apps. They did introduce an auto mapap feature on the Luba Mini.

E18 auto mapping is so much better than the MM motion automapping that they have. Hopefully an update can fix that,

have. Hopefully an update can fix that, but currently it's not that great. And

speaking about updating, just about all these mowers that we have here, they're constantly getting updated. And so these companies, they stand behind their product and they're constantly working to make their products better. And so

the Luba Mini with its all-wheel drive, it's full suspension. It's the only one in this small to average yard class that can do that. It's great for yards that have complex terrain. One step down from

the Luba Mini is the Yuka Mini. This is

kind of the small brother, and this guy is great for small yards. It uses RTK and this vision based system. And if you

lift it up, we can see what's under the hood. Here we have five blades on one

hood. Here we have five blades on one single disc. So you're going to get the

single disc. So you're going to get the narrow stripes. You have two caster

narrow stripes. You have two caster wheels in front. And if we just compare this side by side by its main competition, remember this just had the

three blades on one disc. So just three blades on one disc as opposed to the six uh the five blades. So you'll have to be changing these blades out more

frequently. And here you have the caster

frequently. And here you have the caster wheels in back, whereas here you have the caster wheels in front. And this

does have a handle in the front, but it's a really bad placement. As you can see, my whole hand turns green. While it

does come with a handle, the positioning is poor because it's right where everything collects, including grass clippings or if you have a dog, I I won't have to tell you what may collect

under there. It's lightweight. It's

under there. It's lightweight. It's

portable. It looks great. It's a

goodlooking tiny little mower. All the

all the neighbors love it. They're like,

"Wow, that thing looks so futuristic.

It's like a little Mars rover." I don't know if having five little blades works better than three little blades, but intuitively, I think it just makes sense that it should and that these blades

should last longer. I also love that right back here you can access to take out the old battery and put in a new battery. If you need to ever replace

new battery. If you need to ever replace the battery, you can do it yourself. It

would take you under 5 minutes. The

drawbacks it suffers from the same problems that the RTKbased mowers have is you need to be able to connect to satellite. And if you have thick big

satellite. And if you have thick big trees or if it's a really cloudy day, sometimes it struggles connecting to the satellites. If you don't like narrow

satellites. If you don't like narrow stripes, this is still going to cut narrow stripes. With the little caster

narrow stripes. With the little caster wheels and just the two wheel drive, if you have a complex yard, this is going to struggle. So, at the time of making

to struggle. So, at the time of making this video, we just checked, normally goes for about $1,100. You can get this on sale sometimes for under a,000. I

think right now it's about $750, which is a steal for this. I think if I had to choose between this and the Segway, you know, this thing looks much sleeker.

It's much newer. Both come with great apps. It would be a difficult decision,

apps. It would be a difficult decision, but um I would say I I really do like the way that this one looks. So, let's

move on to the next one. the last in the little mower class. Andrew, what do we have here?

Yeah, we have the Yuka, the full size version. So, it's just a bigger version

version. So, it's just a bigger version of this. Thing that sets this apart in

of this. Thing that sets this apart in its class is it has two mini disc that have three blades on it. So, before

you'd get a narrow about 8 in stripe here, you're probably getting a 12 in stripe, maybe, maybe even more.

Has a front caster wheel, a motor in each wheel in the rear, an actual windshield wiper for the camera in the front, camera in the rear, and then a handle in the rear. So, this handle does make it nice. It doesn't look like

there's any type of bumper system, but it's this whole body will push back and stop the mower. But one neat feature that makes this stand out from all the other mowers is it has a bag collecting

and sweeper function where you can connect this on the rear. This has its own battery. So, that is pretty cool.

own battery. So, that is pretty cool.

Essentially, what it does is it hooks onto here. Now, you put the bag on it

onto here. Now, you put the bag on it and it can collect grass clippings, leaves. Essentially, that works as a

leaves. Essentially, that works as a yard sweeper. rotates and it basically

yard sweeper. rotates and it basically sweeps everything on your yard. It's

great for say fall when you have a lot of leaves that have fallen on the ground and you don't want to rake. You just

have this guy sweep and it'll actually dump everything in its designated dumping spot. It is sold separately. So,

dumping spot. It is sold separately. So,

just realize that does not come with this mower. Let's dive deep into this

this mower. Let's dive deep into this mower. Man, these things are just

mower. Man, these things are just absolutely gorgeous that Mad Motion's designing. The two mowing disc really

designing. The two mowing disc really helps for creating that clean look, especially when you do the cross patterns on your yard. But some

downfalls for this mower for me is although this is the biggest mower out of all the mowers in this class, the battery isn't that big. Let's talk about the next category. This is the Motion

Workhorse. I've been using this guy for

Workhorse. I've been using this guy for a long time. He's actually been mowing my yard in the back for 2 years now. I

left him out all winter. He got snowed on. He got rained on. he got hailed on.

on. He got rained on. he got hailed on.

And while that is not recommended, you should have some sort of cover or you should actually put these away for the winter, I just wanted to see how these guys would do. And the durability was

very admirable. This is the Luba 2, an

very admirable. This is the Luba 2, an all-wheel drive beast. This is the full-sized version of the Luba Mini, which we talked about earlier. I love

the all-wheel drive. I love the suspension. I love the omnidirectional

suspension. I love the omnidirectional wheels. I love that it has

wheels. I love that it has the front wheel lifted, the robot tilted.

It looks like these need to be cleaned up a little bit. And this goes back to the maintenance. All these mowers are

the maintenance. All these mowers are going to require a little bit of maintenance. Okay, you cannot totally

maintenance. Okay, you cannot totally ignore these guys. But I love the dual discs. These are bigger dual discs than

discs. These are bigger dual discs than the Yuka. And it makes very nice

the Yuka. And it makes very nice stripes. When this guy is operating,

stripes. When this guy is operating, this has some of the nicest lawn stripes of any of the mowers. So, my buddy has a huge yard. In the initial review, we

huge yard. In the initial review, we tested this on his yard. His property is just about an acre and there are a lot of ruts, a lot of divots, a lot of

imperfections on the grass, and it was able to plow through that no problem because it has the all-wheel drive. The

reason why I like this is because I have rock beds that separate my grass. And

this is one of the only mowers that can easily navigate over the rock beds because of the all-wheel drive and these omniirectional wheels. The thing that I

omniirectional wheels. The thing that I don't like about this is all the Motions that I've reviewed, even though they can perform really well, occasionally it it just stops working. A lot of these

mowers I actually tested at my friends yards and I drop it off, we set it up and I let them go and then I don't visit them until the end of the summer or until they call me saying, "Hey, I'm

having an issue." I think it's because they need upgrading or updating. And in

those cases, they just stop working or they get a little confused as to where the home station is because of the RTK connection. I'm not quite sure, but I

connection. I'm not quite sure, but I left for Japan for a vacation for 2 weeks. This guy decided to quit mowing

weeks. This guy decided to quit mowing halfway through my vacation for no apparent reason. It was still sitting in

apparent reason. It was still sitting in the station when I got home. My grass

was long and this guy had taken a vacation for a week while I was taking my vacation. Hopefully, they can work

my vacation. Hopefully, they can work those kinks out. I have noticed though that Mamotion updates their app frequently and they're working on their end to make this the best product that

it can be. This is two seasons now that we've been using it. It's still going strong. No other issues.

strong. No other issues.

Functionalitywise, this functions great.

Uses a combination of RTK and vision.

And in my friend's large large yard, obviously, there is no Wi-Fi signal in some of the areas. You don't always need Wi-Fi signal. Wi-Fi signal is only when

Wi-Fi signal. Wi-Fi signal is only when you need to update and when you need to see the progress of the mower.

Otherwise, it can just use the satellites and mow. This does have the option, like all the other RTK mowers that we have, to have 4G cellular

connection. It is a beast. Perfect for

connection. It is a beast. Perfect for

large complex yards. Let's talk about the real beast though when we talk about heavy duty tasks. This is the Maiderator. Specifically, it's the

Maiderator. Specifically, it's the Maider S1. And this is not an autonomous

Maider S1. And this is not an autonomous robotic lawn mower that you can just set it and forget it. This is an RC lawn mower. It's remote controlled. So, let's

mower. It's remote controlled. So, let's

just start with the remote control here.

Having these little joysticks recess like this. Super nice because sometimes

like this. Super nice because sometimes tools and things get put on here and it doesn't get you it doesn't mess up your joystick. I use this mower for my

joystick. I use this mower for my toughest tasks. I have a field out there

toughest tasks. I have a field out there that often gets neglected. The weeds get overgrown. I've I've plowed this thing

overgrown. I've I've plowed this thing through really tall weeds, really steep hills. I've done huge tasks with this

hills. I've done huge tasks with this all-wheel drive mower. It can come in all-wheel drive or two wheel drive. With

all-wheel drive, I've had this really clean up huge, huge messes, places that I normally don't go mow in my yard because they're tough to get to. But

with this and the remote control, it's actually a lot of fun. You can have it bag the grass. So, this is the bag function. I often take off the bag

function. I often take off the bag function, but the cool thing about this is it's just like a regular mower. So,

you can lower it or you can raise it.

This is the only mower that has your traditional mowing blades. So, take a look at that. So, that is a real mowing blade.

It's heavy.

Yeah, it's heavy. This thing is heavy duty. It looks like a a Hummer. That

duty. It looks like a a Hummer. That

huge blade is really able to plow through things that these other robot mowers with their tiny blades, they can't do. Let me show you the battery.

can't do. Let me show you the battery.

The battery is right here. You can pop it out easily.

56V 18 amp hour battery is massive. So

that's the battery there. We've done

huge tasks and not even use up half the battery. So really impressed with the

battery. So really impressed with the battery life on this mower and really impressed with the power and some really cool unique features like easily attach a hose bib to here to rinse off the

blades. Stuff we don't see on other

blades. Stuff we don't see on other robot lawnmowers. While it is a remote

robot lawnmowers. While it is a remote controlled mower, it does have some features where it's almost like autopilot. With a touch of a button, you

autopilot. With a touch of a button, you can just have it turn around, ready to go down the next line. You can reverse just as fast as you can go forward. And

so now what I do is I actually mow and then I just go backwards. And so I never even turn. It's uh the least impact on

even turn. It's uh the least impact on your yard and it still does it does a great job. The wheels on this tend to

great job. The wheels on this tend to shred up your yard if your yard is wet.

And so I try never to do tank turns with this guy. It is a powerful powerful

this guy. It is a powerful powerful machine. People can sit on this or even

machine. People can sit on this or even stand on this and ride it. I don't

recommend it, but it's something my son likes to do. When we have friends that need a project done, we can't take these robot lawnmowers because then you have to set it up, have the station, have the

RTK. it. You just it's not practical to

RTK. it. You just it's not practical to take these robot lawnmowers elsewhere to mow. Whereas this I can stick in the

mow. Whereas this I can stick in the back of my truck or my son can just sit on it and ride it to the next job and then just mow from the comfort of a lawn

chair. And so you do have to supervise

chair. And so you do have to supervise this but it is big, fast, and strong. If

you like to mow but you have allergies and you hate that pollen and grass dust coming in your face, this is a great way to avoid getting allergies while mowing.

So, this is the biggest mower of the group and this is a very versatile machine. It's by Yarbo. It's the Yarbo

machine. It's by Yarbo. It's the Yarbo lawn mower. This is the mower connector.

lawn mower. This is the mower connector.

And then this is the yard care robot.

And this is a modular system where you can take off the mower and you can put on a snowb blower for the winter. You

can put in a leaf blower for the fall.

You can put in a robot face that will follow you. This is the most expensive

follow you. This is the most expensive of all the lawnmowers. Each new

accessory or module that you attach will cost extra. It is separate. It is RTK

cost extra. It is separate. It is RTK base. It has the tank tread. And for

base. It has the tank tread. And for

such a hefty machine, I would have expected them to put regular mowing blades on this machine, which I think they do on their Pro version. And that's

I guess one of the other knocks with Yarbo is they're always coming out with new things. so quickly it kind of makes

new things. so quickly it kind of makes their older accessories and models obsolete. I'd like for them to really

obsolete. I'd like for them to really polish up something before they put out the new iteration of it just so that people that are early adopters don't get

screwed. Who do I recommend this for?

screwed. Who do I recommend this for?

Number one, it's not cheap. So, you're

going to have to have money if you have a large yard and you have the need for snowb blowing and mowing on top of some of these other accessories that you can get. But just make sure that you're

get. But just make sure that you're techsavvy because the setup process is a lot more involved than these other mowers. If you look at just the pieces

mowers. If you look at just the pieces these lawnmowers come with, most of these come with a couple little tools, some extra razor blades. This comes with

like 25 different bags of bolts, nuts, all sorts of things that you need to install on the machine, and you have to remember to keep them, keep them organized. It can definitely be

organized. It can definitely be challenging.

Now, this is our only lidarbased mower.

This is the Eovax Goat A3000. This

little dome is the LAR system. It uses

LAR or lasers to see where it's going in combination with a vision system. It

does not use satellites. So, there's no RTK satellite antenna that you have to set up. The advantages to this, you

set up. The advantages to this, you don't have to worry about setting up an antenna. The LAR works great. So unlike

antenna. The LAR works great. So unlike

the UI which has to mow during the day because it's a vision based system because this uses LAR, you can mow at night with this mower. The big thing

about this that I love and I've had this mowing my front yard the whole summer, the whole season. Dual discs with three blades each. I have not replaced these

blades each. I have not replaced these blades. They've been cutting all summer

blades. They've been cutting all summer and I have it mowing every other day and I have not done any maintenance on this.

But I will say it does look pretty darn good. As we talked about earlier, we

good. As we talked about earlier, we have the caster wheels. We have these motorized wheels here in the back. It

does have a handle. What do I love best about this? It's the cutting quality. It

about this? It's the cutting quality. It

cuts really great lines. Nice, wide,

straight. I also love that it uses the LAR, so there's no setting up an RTK station. There's no having to worry

station. There's no having to worry about big trees blocking my signal or clouds blocking the signal. This guy

will work as long as it can shoot its lasers. And that's the drawback. This

lasers. And that's the drawback. This

guy is going to be a little bit more fragile than some of the other mowers. I

can't just flip this over on its back because I don't want to damage the LAR system. And the other drawback to this

system. And the other drawback to this is it doesn't cut as close to the edge as some of the other mowers. Even though

they advertised something here called true edge, I haven't found that it's cutting that close to the edge. When we

first started, it was leaving maybe over a foot, almost 2 feet of grass uncut on the edges. I worked with customer

the edges. I worked with customer service and their tech people to try to figure out what was going on. In the

end, it took an update to fix that. Next

in the heavyweight category is the newest mower of all these mowers. This

was, I think, a Kickstarter campaign. We

got to be one of the early testers of it and I was really impressed with this.

This is the Limo and the Limo differentiates itself from these other mowers in two ways. It has the tank tread. The other big difference is

tread. The other big difference is the blades on the bottom. These blades

here, they're like mini lawn mower blades. These are their mulching blades.

blades. These are their mulching blades.

Yeah, these are their new upgraded blades that they sent out to us. They

found that the mowing was mulching, but they didn't have as clean of a cut. So,

they sent us these updated blades, which will be sent to all the backers of their Kickstarter project. This is like a

Kickstarter project. This is like a little mini tank, and it's heavy like a tank. Very heavy duty. With a tank

tank. Very heavy duty. With a tank tread, you can go up really complex terrain. You can go up really steep

terrain. You can go up really steep angles with these blades. They take care of tasks, grass that's thicker and taller that some of these other mowers

will struggle on. It had its struggles when it first came out when we were testing, as do all of these mowers. But

once they worked out the kinks, I set this up maybe a month ago for a neighbor. Once we got through the setup

neighbor. Once we got through the setup process, I said, "Adios." And I didn't hear from them again. And apparently,

this mower has performed great. It's

just doing its thing, mowing. It's

gotten stuck once and that is it.

because it's heavy. If you have it consistently mowing the same pattern where these tank treads run, it pushes down on the grass and it flattens the

grass. The reason why it pushes down

grass. The reason why it pushes down those same tracks and and kind of pushes down on the grass on your lawn, it always ms in the same direction every

time unless you manually go into the app to adjust it. Whereas a lot of these other mowers will automatically know to over time, let's say one week it'll mow

one direction, the next week it'll mow in the opposite direction just to make it easier on your lawn. And I'd love for them to update that in this. And I feel like Limo has been so responsive to the

criticisms that we've said in the past in our past review that they'll listen to this and they'll add that feature into the app and onto this device. The

things to love about it, it can do really complex terrain. It does a great job mowing and it's one of those set it and forget it mowers that's really durable. It doesn't get stuck. It just

durable. It doesn't get stuck. It just

goes and it does the job. Things that I don't like in the back, you can easily take off this back door. The battery is the most expensive component on this

device and to have it that easy to get into. I'm I'm a fan that I can get

into. I'm I'm a fan that I can get there. I could swap out the battery if I

there. I could swap out the battery if I need to, but it's just a little too easy to get access to. And the other thing, it's just heavy. So, the one time it did get stuck, it took two people to lift

this and to try to to maneuver it so it could get going again. Next in the big boy category is the Sun Seeker. This one

was very surprising. This mower I had not heard anything about. I had not seen any videos about it. And so, when they sent it to me, it was kind of a blank slate. You have two discs that are

slate. You have two discs that are offset with three blades on each. This

mower is advertised as an all-wheel drive mower, and I was like, "No, this isn't an all-wheel drive. It has a caster wheel." But this isn't your

caster wheel." But this isn't your normal caster wheel. It's actually a motorized caster wheel. So, this is in this three-w wheeled device, a allterrain three- wheeled vehicle, cuz

these are motorized, which actually makes it really nimble. It's very

nimble. It was able to navigate playsets, the trees, the gym toys, the trampoline. If you have a trampoline in

trampoline. If you have a trampoline in your backyard, sometimes these mowers can struggle going over the metal bars.

This one did not struggle. It looks just as good as it performs. It looks like a nice fast race car. Has that futuristic, sleek look. The app works really well.

sleek look. The app works really well.

Very intuitive. And this is another one of those devices that I helped my friend set up at his home and throughout the summer I did not hear a peep from him. I

actually went to his house the other day for a party and I was like, "Wow, his lawn looks really good." And he told me that the Sun Seeker has been doing a fantastic job. No complaints. He's been

fantastic job. No complaints. He's been

super happy with it. And so the Sunseeker has exceeded my expectations.

And for a big boy yard, this is a big boy device. all-wheel drive with the

boy device. all-wheel drive with the three wheels. It's very nimble. It's

three wheels. It's very nimble. It's

easy on your grass. It's not too heavy that it's going to push your grass down.

The cut looks nice and it's easy to use.

So, it's one of those set it and forget it devices that just hasn't given us any problems throughout the summer. If I

were to say any drawbacks with it, at the beginning when we were testing it, it was also leaving a wide space, almost six to eight inches of uncut grass on

the edges. And again, through an update,

the edges. And again, through an update, now it's mowing right up against the edge. It also has a handle. I love that

edge. It also has a handle. I love that you can pick it up. It's not super heavy. Apparently, it learns as you go.

heavy. Apparently, it learns as you go.

And so throughout the summer, it was learning the yard. And each time it mowed, it did a better job. And I am seeing that trend with a lot of these robot mowers. The more that you use it,

robot mowers. The more that you use it, the better it performs. Either one, because it's learning as it's going. And

number two, because it's getting updates over time, and number three, because as a user, sometimes you have to finesse or alter borders or change settings so that

you can get the peak performance. And so

that is the Sunseeker Elite X7 Plus, the most surprising mower in the bunch.

Really pleased with the results. Now,

let's talk about another mower that really surprised us. This is the Segue X350. This is their big lawn mower

X350. This is their big lawn mower that's supposed to do big yards. But the

surprising thing is, and the disappointing thing is for such a big mower, it's just one cutting disc. And then in that one

cutting disc. And then in that one cutting disc, while you do have many blades, what? One, two, three, four,

blades, what? One, two, three, four, five, six. Six blades. So, the most

five, six. Six blades. So, the most blades on any single disc, the blades are almost hidden.

I mean, they peek out a little bit when it's spinning with the centrifugal force. I'm wondering why they need that

force. I'm wondering why they need that sandwich disc. Again, you're getting

sandwich disc. Again, you're getting really thin, narrow lines. You're not

getting the nice wide lines you get with the dual discs. There's a lot of open space here. And so very surprising that

space here. And so very surprising that such a big mower would just have that one disc. For a big boy mower to have

one disc. For a big boy mower to have caster wheels, it's really going to struggle if you have uneven terrain, if you have ruts or divots. Some of our

all-wheel drive mowers, they were having no problems, whereas this was getting stuck. Probably the most disappointing

stuck. Probably the most disappointing is for how big of a yard it says it can mow. The battery is really small. We'll

mow. The battery is really small. We'll

list the specs here, but with that small battery, we found that it was constantly having to go back to recharge.

Advertised as a heavyweight, this was not up to the task. If you've had a good experience with the X350, I want to hear about it. I want to see it because we

about it. I want to see it because we just have not figured this one out. But

I think a lot of the limitations are just built in. It's not something that you can fix with software because you can't fix the fact that it has just one

disc on the bottom. You can't fix the fact that it is a small battery and you can't fix the fact that it's not all-wheel drive. All right. And all of

all-wheel drive. All right. And all of this is unscripted. We're just kind of winging it as we go along and we're going to wing the award ceremony. Now,

Andrew and I will have differing opinions because we've had differing experiences. First off, let's talk about

experiences. First off, let's talk about what's the best value mower for a small yard. For me, I would say it has to be

yard. For me, I would say it has to be this Manotion Yuka Mini. extremely

affordable, very similar to the Navimo i 110. Has pretty much the same design,

110. Has pretty much the same design, but it just looks so much sexier. You

have a small to medium-sized yard that is really simple and you just don't want to spend a whole lot of time in the setup process and the maintenance, my

award would go to the Yui E18. I love

the autonomous vision tech where it can learn how to map on its own and there's no RTK station needed. Andrew, what is the best mower if you have a complex

small to mediumsized yard? Definitely

has to be the Manotion Luba Mini simply because it's the only one in its class that's all-wheel drive that gives you the ability to tackle steep terrains and challenging terrain. Let's move on to

challenging terrain. Let's move on to the big boy mowers. If you have really tall grass, you have really steep hills, rocky terrain, uneven terrain, the

Maidraider is going to be your champion right here. And if you need a mower that

right here. And if you need a mower that you can take to other jobs, so it's very versatile, then this is it. The only

issue is it's not fully autonomous. So,

it's not a set it or forget it device.

Now, if you want something that it's set it and forget it, I would say the mower that took the least amount of care once set up, once fully updated in terms of

never getting stuck and not having issues once all the kinks were worked out, would probably go to these two here. It would be a tie. The Sunseeker

here. It would be a tie. The Sunseeker

really surprised me, as did the Limo. I

set those both those up at two different friends homes and had no issues throughout the summer. for ease of use and all around good cut quality. I think

Jimmy's front yard looks amazing. That's

why I'd give the award to the EcoVac mower. This thing has done a great job.

mower. This thing has done a great job.

The LAR is super sweet. The technology

is incredible. I've yet to see any other mower that has the technology that can touch this. Especially because this can

touch this. Especially because this can see even when it can't see. That was a lot of awards, but really the real question is gun to your head, Jimmy. You

get to only choose one mower. What is it going to be? The robot lawn mower. I

would choose would be 10 minutes later.

Here's the thing. Every yard is different. And so choosing a robot lawn

different. And so choosing a robot lawn mower is like choosing a tool. You're

not going to choose a sledgehammer to put a nail in the wall to hang a picture. And you're not going to choose

picture. And you're not going to choose a little FisherPrice hammer to try to put a stake in a hard ground. So you

need to make sure you pick the right tool for the job. My job is a relatively simple yard, but a big yard, but it's separated in terms of access. So, it

needs to be something that's all-wheel drive. It needs to be something that can

drive. It needs to be something that can communicate from the front yard to the backyard and not get confused if I move it. And so, it has to be something

it. And so, it has to be something that's easy to move. So, that eliminates this guy here. I love the way this guy looks. I love the way this guy cooks. I

looks. I love the way this guy cooks. I

love the Sun Seeker. It has actually it checks all the boxes. One of the drawbacks though that we didn't talk about is you can only get this through a dealer right at the moment. You can't

buy it online. So I think that's a knock on this. This EVAX does a great job, but

on this. This EVAX does a great job, but it's not all-wheel drive and so it has a hard time going from front to back. And

so in my head I would have to say it's got to be this guy because he's all-wheel drive. He can go from backyard

all-wheel drive. He can go from backyard to front yard. The Luba 2, while it's a little bit older, it has nice wide lines. It has all-wheel drive

lines. It has all-wheel drive suspension. I would go with this one.

suspension. I would go with this one.

But I do have to say, if they sold this online and not through a dealer, I just don't want to have to mess with a dealer, then I would probably get this guy, the Sunseeker Elite X7 Plus. Thanks

for watching and remember, when you need to mow your lawn, have your robot do
