Looking for a mower that comes or can be purchased qwith a gate option so that it can do the front and back yard without Jr physically moving the unit. Quarter acre lot. Bonus points if the charging doc has a grow through dock. What do you guys suggest?

Thanks so much.

Im currently running a Moebot S5 but looking to upgrade to either Segway Navimow i108A or the the Dreame A1. They all really seem to be similar designs so im not sure how each robot would cut better but am interested in the different navigation styles and how precise they can be

Both are around the $2k mark currently in Australia

I would like the mower to be precise to be able to go right to the edge of my square laws (only about 80m2 + 2x 20m2)- the mobot misses a bit and would require re laying boundary wires to fix

Route them to have multiple zones - front and back of house - they are separated by a 20 m driveway that is undercover. Same issue here - more boundary wires needed and dont want to cut up the concrete driveway

Ideally have integrations in HA - I'm aware the Segway can only currently integrated through Alexa but it seems somebody has some basic integration for the Dreame. This is where the mobot excells, but there is no map available in app like the 2 newer robots

What's every bodies thought considering they are currently a similar price and would the upgrade be worth it?

Thanks

I’m considering purchasing an automower for my home, but I have a unique setup with three separate lawns that aren’t connected by any pathways. Based on my research, the Terraow S800 seems like a good fit. I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience using the Terraow S800—how has it worked for you? Are there any challenges or features to note?

Also, if you have other automower recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! For reference, the combined area of all three lawns is about 150 square meters.

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions!

I am in the market for an auto mower for next season and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Yard: about 4500 sqft of Bermuda that I like to keep around .75”. The shorter the better. Fenced in back yard and a small fenced in side yard as well. The rest of the yard is unfenced. Some slope in the front yard but not major. Not sure of degree of slope but could get that information if it’s a concern. 3 trees circled in the picture.

Mower: I’m not opposed to laying a ground wire but would prefer not to do so. I like some of the features I’m seeing like ones that will weed eat and other attachments such as the Yarbo, but i want something that will be reliable above all else.

Budget: I could spend $3-4k if it’s the right mower. Ideally something under $2k but I’m open to suggestions.

Use case: I’d like to run the back/side yard one day and the rest of the yard another day. Maybe mowing each twice a week.

I’m happy to provide any additional needed info. I’m ok waiting until spring if new/better mowers are on the horizon. But with Black Friday deals going on now, I figured it would be a good time to start looking.

Thanks in advance

This will be my first automower and I was leaning to NexMow or Segway but the NexMow rep confirmed no RTK in my city. Multiple properties to mow. Is the best bet to get the 450XH or similar and use thicker wire?

See any exciting deals on automowers this week? I noticed a few interesting deals on Amazon:

Dreame A1 on sale for $1300
https://www.amazon.com/dreame-A1-Automatic-Navigation-Avoidance/dp/B0CY24ZQBC

Segway Navimow i105 for $800
https://www.amazon.com/i110N-Perimeter-AI-Assisted-Multi-Zone-Management/dp/B0CX8LL2PC

Definitely a weird request but I'm hosting a part and would love to have some fake dinosaurs roaming about as a silly joke. This will be outdoors so robot vacuums are out of the question.

What are the cheapest mowers I should be looking at that I might be able to disable and remove the blades to have as a silly joke.

Thanks in advance Ben

Prospective buyer here. I live in a climate where we get storms during the growing season. I don't want the hassle of manually changing the mowing schedule depending on the weather.

1. Can mowers operate while it rains? What mowers do it better than others?
2. Can any mowers detect when it's raining or been very wet, and not mow?

I recently won a Husqvarna Automower 310 in an auction

It looks brand new to me, never used. It asked me for a PIN when I started it up, and I naively tried different combos until it locked me out after 5 attempts - I’m now blocked for “5 minutes” until I can try again. The thing is, it gets down to 3 minutes, then shuts down (I’m guessing due to energy saving) and when I start it back up, it’s reset to 5 mins. Is there a way for me to reset this cycle?

Hi,

I've been having numerous problems with my Husqvarna 305 since it was put away in storage over the summer while I had some garden renovations done. I just got it back from 3 months(!) of work at the dealer (it even had a trip to Sweden!). But I cannot even test if it is now working because I now have a problem with the charging station.

In short, when I first put it on the station to test, I got a 'No loop signal'. At this point the light on the station was solid green. I ran the 'Find new loop signal' operation on the mower, but got the same error. Now here is the rub - when I took the mower off the charging station, the light had gone out.

I have tested the voltage going to the PCB and get 28V both direct from the transformer and using the cable.

I have tested a new PCB and still get no light.

I'm thinking maybe the bulb blew? But it seems highly coincidental that it should blow at EXACTLY the same time I tried the loop signal reset.

Has anyone come across this before? And does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it (or at least diagnose the fault!). Many thanks.

Hey-

Is there a way to order AM Parts directly through Husqvarna for self install? I love my dealer, but they're backed up on the service side because they also do a lot of commercial stuff. They don't allow self install of warranty repairs there, so I can't ask them to order the parts and just hand them over.

I have a relatively simple part to replace, which I know I can do myself. Alternatively, is there any online dealer that would allow this and just ship it to me?

Located in the US.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I took my Dreame A1 in for Winter Storage today and noticed that the blade disc (the plastic disc where the blades are seated) have a crack in it, I checked all the resellers here in Sweden and also Dreames homepage and they don't seem to sell any replacements parts (which is kinda bad when you pay good money for the unit itself and it's a plastic part).

I have contacted them but haven't heard back yet (only emailed them an hour ago on a Sunday) but I figured I check with you guys if you know a good replacement for it, there seem to be a few that print and sell parts but hard to know if they will work or not.

Where are the decent 3rd party blades for the Husqvarna automower blades?

Hi all, I've got a rental house with a tiny back yard. Fully fenced with no obsticals, but it gets muddy from that landlord treatment it's been getting. I just want to throw down some rye so that my sweet and loving dogs will quit getting mud on my couch.

I need a small cheap mower that I'll throw away in a year when I move.

Google and Youtube only want to show me expensive mowers with tons of features (and don't forget the affiliate links).

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi guys, I have two yards (front and back). Both are small (both under 100m2) and completely flat. Both are rectangular.

Any recommendations? Preferably no wires and probably mid range - not keen to spend thousands given how small the yards are.

Rather than buying two robots, could I move the robot when I need to mow the other law and create two maps?

Thank you.

Anyone else have issues with their automower after a time change? My mower is set to run 9a-6p daily, however, it seems to have shifted to 8a-5p after the time switch in the US. The app's schedule still says 9-6 but I'm not sure what I need to do to get the mower to pick up the time change. Afaik there are no daylight savings settings in the app.

Background: I just wrapped up my startup, which was working on building a 500+ kg autonomous mower to cover hectares for golf courses and parks.

Why do I want to do it? Now that I’m buying a house with a lawn in Sydney, it’d feel wrong not to build my own autonomous mower, given what I’ve already built.

Yeah or nah for everyone: 1. Would you try building it too? Should I put in the effort to design everything, 3D-print parts, and use affordable Amazon components (motors, sensors, etc.)? 2. With RTK GPS? My yard is small (200 sqm), so vision-only should work fine, but RTK GPS would add about $280. I’ve already written the code, so I could make it an optional add-on if anyone wants it. 3. <500 sqm range? 4. Auto charging? Adding an auto-charging feature might cost about $50 extra – thoughts?

Current Specs: 1. Less than $330 2. Depth camera + ultrasonic sensor + bumper + lift detection for safety 3. Define and drive boundary with an app 4. 500 sqm coverage 5. Obstacle recognition (animals, sprinklers, people) 6. Tracks instead of wheels (less likely to get stuck)

Give me your wishlist and I’ll see what I can do. Feel free to go as wild as you want! My last project cost $50k per mower and had lots of features, so I might already have code for whatever feature you want.

Pics of what I’ve built in my last startup

I have the Luba 2 AWD 10000 version, $4000 with a $100 discount. Overall, it’s been great—apart from the RTK signal sometimes being a bit weak, though I can live with brief signal drops. Worth the money!

Here's a fun one, I'm sure some some of you have went all out building houses for your mower. Let's see some storage porn! Looking for inspiration

Hi all,

WIth black friday around the corner I'm considering whether to grab a Navimow. Basic, flat yard with grass surrounded by sidewalk on all sides. Dog leaves organic material on the lawn. Would this be a set and forget and my wife isn't annoyed because it basically just works? Or is this more like a smart home where it becomes a hobby taking up as much time as doing maintenance on the gas mower and pushing it around the grass?

Thanks.

I'm considering if a new open-box return of a Husqvarna 430XH for 700 bucks is worth it. The catch is the Husqvarna won't honor the warranty since I don't have the original receipt and I'm not the original purchaser. Before buying it I could try powering it to at least test that aspect. Feed appreciated.

I’ve called and called around, anyone know who can rewire my entire ground wire in the dfw area? TIA

I currently have a Flymo 1200 r, ive had it almost 5 years and it may be on its way out, intermittent issues etc. kress have a huge sale on atm, does anyone know how good the kress bots are? The nano is half price down to 500 pounds for 1000m2.

2 questions I guess, is this a good mower worth the investment? And my Flymo lasts another year is there any harm buying this mower and storing it for a year?
