I didn’t want to mow my yard or pay a lawn company to do it, so why can’t we automate the worst part of home ownership? I met my first robot mower when I was about 10 years old, it was horrible, the controls were wired, you had to walk around your yard and program it, and it was so expensive no one bought them. Fast forward to 2020 and robot mowers are just Roombas with spinning razor blades. I bought the Worx 150 on Amazon, spent a couple hours setting it up and let it loose. It’s been 2 years since it started mowing, here are my thoughts on it.

One more thing to add… the neighbors loved this thing, everyone would stop to talk about it, they would help if it got stuck, that was a lot of fun. Other times it would get stuck while I was out of town and I'd have to ask Gabe to move it back to the charging base so it wouldn't just be sitting out for a week. You basically have to "roomba proof" your yard to run it with no intervention. 🍻
Ok. I'll need the acs module
You should have bought a Husquvarna, my mum has 3/4 acres, does hers in 2 days, then just tops up during the week on a regular 2hours/day schedule. Grass is green, Moss free beautiful
Been using a moebot robot mower exclusively on my yard for 18 months. Does a great job. Your issues seem to be having a single "zone" for such a huge area, plus that you didn't lay the wire per the instructions as you said near the end. You should split your yard into a "front" and a "back" zone, and lay the wire so it doesn't miss the charger. Then program it to do the different zones separately, maybe on alternating days.
Need tripod or camera guy
You have to prépare your terrain for the robot. Mine would get stuck here and there to then i fixed it now doesnt get stuck anymore and mine is à cheap one .
I love my robot mower. I love watching do its job
Guess you never got around to de thatching lolz thanks for robomow 2.0 friend
Thanks for the honesty. I was thinking about one of these but now no way. I want one that follows a pattern like the modern robot vacuums.
Great review because it’s pretty clear these robots aren’t really up to it unless you have a small lawn or are prepared to pay 5 o6 times the price.
The yard looks terrible. It depends on the homeowners and also on the yard service. If you get your average grass cuter of $100 a month, a guy, you’ll get 100 dollars in service. I always keep an eye out for weeds and moles. Good thing they aren't there yet, and dangerous little mowers if you have cable or irrigation.
The manual says 10". Manual reading is difficult for some.
You did a piss poor job installing & never changed the blades. Yeah, product's fault. LOL I have 2 of these by the way. They're friggin awesome!
Waste of money
I guess I like mowing my yard enough that I’ll probably never get one of those robots. If I don’t have time for it, I’ll pay someone. Call me old fashioned, and no, I’m not a boomer.
Thanks for giving an honest review 😎
Random bouncing around sure seems like a waste of effort for mowing the lawn.
dude…. its purpose to cut small increments of grass. It will not water, weed, fertilize or perform miracles.
How do you keep someone from stealing it? Wouldn't work at our yard (acres). I happily mow with a 50 year old GE Elec-trak.
You need to learn about lawn maintenance….
I really doubt there's any good application for that peice of China plastic junk
check the segway mower. Uses xiami programming.
Thank you for this review. I have a 2+ acre yard and unfortunately my trees are not large enough to keep the grass manageable, so I. Considering a yarbo, but worried about the infant technology.
The only thing this thing is missing are the little soap bubbles it makes when moving forward.
What did you run out of bubble liquid?? 🤣🤣
as a professional landscaper I can tell you without even an inkling of doubt that the sharper the lawn mower blade the faster it dulls… what you actually want is a flat bottom and an angled point on the top so that the angle meets the bottom at a point but is not razor sharp that will last much longer than something that has been sharpened to a high degree. in other words you have much less of a bevel then usually associated with desired sharpness.
How hard is it to more your own shit you have a small yard?.. And you pay for lawn service.. Talk about a lazy ass… Using that junk you deserve you lawn looking like absolute garbage
I wonder if they have app controlled mowers like what they have for Roombas now?
Those tell you where it has been and where it has not got to yet.
It spies on you and the bugs in your yard.
We don't use lawn mowers very often because they got stolen all the time 🙁
If it was like honey I shrunk the kids I'd get one. This isnt something practical at all. More tedious then useful 👍
Those thing also have no vacuum under the deck to lift the blades to get an even cut. Im surprised somebody so mechanically inclined just doesnt buy a used commercial 36" or 48" deck walk behind mower with hydraulic drive and steering. You'd be done in literally 15 minutes with that size yard, and no clippings because they mulch.
I was thinking of getting one of these but after reading the specs and seeing how it was made I figured it wasn't worth it.
Please help my son was wearing green and the lawn mower killed him. I called for a refund but the customer service was intelligent AI and denied my request because it is not broken. I need this dealt with before st Patrick's day.
I wonder how it would perform on dense turf
I love my robo mower. I even love just sitting in the lawn and watching it, very relaxing. But i hate the guide wire. I wish you could turn off the guide wire feature because all of my back yard is fenced in.
What in the Wall-E is this shit?
Sounds like you bought a turd .I would not call that a lawn
Your cut height seems low. What type of grass do you have. Kentucky is a cut height of 2.5 inches while tall fescue requires 3.5 inches.
What is this audio quality? You sound like you’re yelling into the camera. Editing is so important.
She or it? Lol ! thanks for the video
Lawn looks horrendous
What town in Kansas?
The robot vaccines are great, just need to put one of their computers on one of these. Good video thanks
You installed it wrong and didn't used it properly. It works great 👍 for the purposes. This lawmower save me a lot times. All I do is trimmed and edge weekly. Also, you still need to take care your grass.
