Easily the best tech that most people still don’t have. Why? Maybe nobody knows about the best robot mowers. In this video, I test the best of the best to determine which mower you should buy.

ADDITIONAL VIDEO NOTES:
So in this video, I want to compare these four and help you decide which is the right one for you. We have a bunch of categories to cover, but let’s introduce each mower with their prices.
Price
Mammotion Luba Mini AWD = $1599 – $1999
Navimow i110N from Segway = $999 – $1299 or $100/mo subscription
Terramow S1200 = $999 – $1199
Yarbo = $6,999 or $9,999 for full bundle, up significantly from tariffs. Maybe going down? Like I checked this morning and it was $2000 cheaper. It used to be $7k for the whole bundle
Setup
A major question will be can my parents or grandparents set this up and use it? Let’s go easiest to hardest
Teramow just goes out, but maybe not ideal if you have multiple locations to mow. Also sometimes ignores dirt patches or yellow grass
Mammotion can map itself but is trickier. I had some frustrations with this losing GPS signal while mapping and deleting the entire map I spent 45 minutes on. The same happened in the past with the larger Luba 2 – RTK
Navimow requires you to drive it like an RC car – RTK
Yarbo is toughest to set up. Lots of assembly but the videos help.
It’s also very heavy
Yarbo requires you to drive it like an RC car – no garage though
Mow quality
How do robot mowers cut?
Everyone asks me if it can mow once a week and for some reason people get stuck on this old way of mowing.
How are heights adjusted?
Yarbo 1.2-4” digital control
Mammotion 2.2-4” or 0.8-2.6” digital control
Navimow 2-3.6” manual control
Terramow – in CM but translates to 1-3” digital control
Show mow test
Show apps and mow settings
Terramow doesnt have rain sensors so I saw it mowing in the rain a number of times. Somehow it did a good job even then
How close to the edge?
Terramow takes 2 days to do 9000 sq ft
Others are faster
Yarbo crushes it in a couple hours
Autonomy
Terrain
Terramow gets stuck in a ditch, but I can give it a pass
Navimow sometimes struggles with hills
Mammotion rarely gets stuck unless it drives up a wall or pole or something. It happens. Otherwise it just gets lost from GPS signal weakness
If they get lost, which is easier to bring back to the base?
**Obstacle avoidance test**
Lights for mowing at night
Base stations
Connecting to RTK station and wires required
Coverage
.3 acres for terramow, .25 acres for i110, .44 acres for Luba 1500H, and 6 acres for yarbo
Also, all have wifi but you can get LTE on Navimow and Yarbo
Durability
The Yarbo has a track that may need some replacement but otherwise, I have no doubt it is the most mechanically durable of these. It is very solid.
I lost my original Mammotion when it was run over by a truck. It sort of survived but it’s cast aluminum so the wheel could not be reattached very easily
The navimow is mostly plastic so it could also break.
The benefit of the Yarbo is that it is visible and harder to run over.
Volume while running
Yarbo makes a loud whining sound the whole time it runs
Terramow is nearly silent
Other Features, Tricks, And Accessories
You can access the cameras on all except Navimow I believe
Yarbo can do it all. Also new attachments rolling out like trimmer and edger
Spot mode mowing, etc
My recommendation?

How come the Lymow One isn’t on the list…great machine
Will not waist my money until there is a clippings caught/ collector.

WHY ARE ALL THESE VIDEO ALMOST ALWAYS THE SAME. THE MOWERS ARE DRIVING ON ROACHY LOOKING LAWNS. ( IF YOU COULD EVEN CALL THEM THAT ) THE GRASS IS USUALLY MORE WEEDS AND CLOVER THAN GRASS AND THE GRASS IS SOME WEIRD LOOKING ALIEN GRASS. 👽👽👽 THE MOWERS LOOK LIKE THE GRASS IS NOT EVEN BEING CUT JUST FLATTENED DOWN BY THE WHEELS OR TRACKS. REGUARDLESS OF THE BRAND THEY SUCK AT CUTTING GRASS.
Great video and thank you! I've heard that many machines get lost when the lawn is not clearly marked and there is common grass, especially the LIDAR camera versions. Do you know anything about this?
How do you compare a $999 mower vs. $6999 mower? This is like comparing a Ferrari vs. Hyundai.
I have some interest in a robot mower since it's just so insanely hot in Texas and mowing is not fun in the middle of super humid summer. I think my main things stopping me from making the switch is dop poo in the backyard so I can't run the mower on a schedule without making sure I clean up first and I'm nervous to use it in the front yard because someone could just grab the thing and drive off with it. Since they're pretty expensive, it's not something I would want to risk.
Have you tested the LYMOW? It looks like a winner to me!
Good comparison. Unfortunately I have just under an acre, so the only one that would work for me is the Yarbo, and that's out of my price range. Guess I'll give it a few more years and see what develops.
I clicked on this video because I thought the Terramow was the Eufy E15/18 😂
You did this video in June of 25' and Terramow is still out of stock in late Oct. 25'. Maybe they are going out of business?
I dislike talkers vs people demonstrating themselves.
I have a hilly property, it got 6 lawn yards on a 5.13ac property. I wonder can you trained it to follow the pathway accessing one yard to another?
Could you build a seat for it? Looks fun. 😅 16:36
Mowrator?
What about DOG POOP?
Great video! Have me considering something I didn't have on my buy list. I do have concerns about theft and don't know how to ensure nobody grabs it since I'd use it for mowing the front yard… Also, must be an error at 21:52 that the YarBo can tow 3500lb. That's the weight of my RV… maybe 300lb?
Luba battery can’t be replaced
This Chinese crap is nowhere near Husqvarna in the long run and service isn't there.
I just wish someone would come out with one where you could mount an impact sprinkler on top for irrigation. Something with a swivel bearing to mount the impact sprinkler on.
If it's remote vs robot, why bother?
My first was a 26x and it made me fall in love with sailing. I loved it down in the keys and stayed on it in several different marinas all over fl. I sold it because I had three small children, but I’m looking at possibly buying a 26m. I saw a couple with four children staying on one. It’s not the fastest under sail. Sometimes a little bit small, especially for my scuba diving equipment but a really great boat especially if your budget doesn’t allow for a benetau. If they were still in business, they would probably be selling 50 to 100 boats a year easy. I’ve heard they have been sailed to Hawaii from California definitely all over the Caribbean.
Can you map spot with the teramow
My lawn is flat, 750sqm. How long ir takes to cut it?
