If you are looking to buy a new robotic lawn mower, I am interested in hearing which brands you think are the best? From my experience, not to name names, but you get what you pay for. There is a lot of mowers out there that do not last more than one season, if they last that long. What have you had success with? What would you recommend?

Segway is hard to beat for rez, also comes in at a pretty low price point. Ironically, more expensive brands are not what I would recommend for rez.

The only unit that I actually loathe is Greenworks. That being said I feel like the market is swamped right now and it’s hard to follow every startup that launches a lawn robot on Kickstarter. That’s why I’m glad this network exists I’ve been looking for a community like this for years.

I hate to agree with you both, but I really agree with you both. Segway is hard to beat mainly for their price point. I did get a little GPS drift every few weeks on a couple of test units but remapping solved that or it just went away. Sunseeker has been incredible for a zoysiagrass and bermudagrass lawn – the cut quality and uniformity were incredible. Greenworks? No comment.

Just got my yarbo and wow this is the best built robot on the market. If this can really do 6 acres per day like they said at CES, at 4799$ it’s crazy. This thing blows Ceora out if the water build wise.

I’m excited by the Yarbo because of the build quality and the multimodal nature of it. I am worried though about the track system. I’m in the PNW an our fine fescue is a bit delicate.

I’m not worried about tearing up grass, it’s pretty slow to turn. In theory, it should turn the same way every time eliminating human error. But because of the slow nature I’d keep it in wide areas that don’t require the turning.
Yarbo is the most mysterious machine out there for me. I have seen videos on it for two years and still have never seen it in person. I feel like I am being catfished by a fake company.
Jokes aside, if it is built that well it may be the real deal. There are still just so many unknowns though. How good will the service be? What the platform for deployment like? How stable are the virtual zones? How do they treat their dealers? So many more questions? A lot of equipment gets hyped as we all know. But long term, is this equipment going to make it? Who knows?
I’m giving it a test year for sure, like everything else.
