Code not valid
@mike9132 thanks for the heads up. I'll follow-up soon
@@pestandlawnginja I'll try again tomorrow.
@@mike9132 Code works today.
That’s was the coolest unboxing ever
Glad you liked it 👊 🤩
Wow，cool unboxing
I purchased one using your code. Thank you for your work! Really enjoy your videos. I have a LIDAR vacuum, its amazing how well its works. I think mowing every day and leaving the clippings on the lawn is much better than the once a week mow and blow service where they take all the nutrients away...
Awesome! Thank you! I really e
Like this mower
How do you like it?
@k.ghali.91 I like it a lot. I set it to mow one direction and then the other and got a checkerboard lawn pattern. My only complaint is its not great at edging which I do once a week anyway so it's not a big deal for me. My lawn is flat so can't speak for steep grades.
Very cool looks great 👍🏻
It's a cool machine
This is exactly what I need cause I have 3 huge Oak trees. How is the edge cutting? Can you do overlap? How is it compared to to the Navimow 105. Thanks
Cool robot!
It is pretty cool 😎
The setup method is really smart. I've considered getting a robot mower in the future, but knowing you have to physically bury a wire wherever you want it to mow really put me off. This is way simpler and way easier if you want to mow multiple different sections of lawn or if you move.
Agree
So this can map completely under trees? Can it mow an area with strict borders pretty precisely? Can you manually move it to a new zone for mowing?
Loved the unboxing
Thanks 😊
Hey! I love your robotic lawn mower series! Could you review the Luba 2, and maybe do comparisons between all the mowers you have reviewed? I want to buy one but idk which one to go with.
Luba 2 is on the list and currently using it.
I will do a video as you're suggesting. More to come! Thanks for watching
Also looking for Luba. The hardware seems awesome, but the software is really lagging behind. Plus according to comments from actual users it's not using lidar as the marketing materials suggest (prob. software limitation too)
@al1us lidar isn't part of Luba but it does have a Binocular Cameras on the Luba 2 that they're most likely referring to
Hi, nice lawn, nice review. I have the same lawn edges. Can A1 cut the lawn edges?
I have the dreame L10s Ultra vac/mop. I sure hope this thing doesn't have very basic missing features like my 1000 dollar vac/mop
You should do a comparison on this vs the Novabot vs Luba 2
Just have one question. How many work zones can be created with the dreame a1 robotic mower?
How do you create zones? is it the same as creating a "no go" zone?
I have sidewalk in front of my house and grass on the other side of the side walk, so I want the robot to be able to mow that section too, so I am trying to understand how this zone feature is setup. I know it handles multiple zones.
If you wanted to make say your front yard a zone, the sides separate zones and the backyard a zone do you have to run those perimeters separately or do just include all those areas on your initial perimeter setup and then mark the zones within the app?
Thanks for info you can provide.
Nice mower.😁
Thanks 👍
You need to do a comparison video of the top options available for 2024. I’d like to compare this with the airseeker tron.
great idea. thanks
You tried both the Roboticmower A1 from Dreame and the Oasa R1. Which one would you recommend?
Okay, I bought one using your code, thanks. Hope it works better than the LUBA 2 I am returning.
This unit works great for mid sized lawns
How do you like it?
@@k.ghali.91 code worked but I never received it. Amazon never shipped it, kept changing the delivery date. After a month I got a refund. Bought a new zero-turn Ryobi 80v electric rider. It was on sale for $799 (last one). It's the Lay-Z-boy of zero turns, lol.
Doesn't come close to my Luba.
But then again, I have 1 acre and am on a hill.
But I like not needing RTK. But for my property, these aren't built strong enough yet. I definitely need the all wheel drive.
Luba is Chinese trash. When it breaks, I guess you can send it back to China for repairs. Most people with Luba's have the ugliest turf. That's why they didn't buy a better robotic mower than a Luba.
Good stuff..How about taking it to the inlaw's place ?? Maybe one with surfacing tree roots, a small dog bone, tennis ball, or maybe dips in the lawn ? I'm just saying that bc grandpa is likely to get one if its proved worthy on a more realistic lawn. Can you show limitations is my queston.
Which Robo mower do you like the best? Can you do a comparison with this and the YUKA 1500 BY Mammotion the maker of LUBA2
I don't have the Yuka just yet
I like your suggestions as well, let’s see what they do. But I didn’t hear about any security features, like someone walking off with your mower… ?
It has anti theft security alarm and includes pin entry
hi, has anyone got this error message?
right rear wheel is not normal
Looking at a navimow, Goat or a Yuka and now you’ve made me seriously reconsider. The Lidar on my Ecovacs vacuum is brilliant….seems like it may be more reliable than the RTK!
Ps. Great unboxing 😂
Thanks!
I've enjoyed the lidar tech especially for heavily wooded areas
I am trying to get my Novabot up and running and iw ill tell you it sucks. Im about to through it away, this one looks much easier to set up
Super frustrating. This one is very easy to use and setup
You have a very flat yard but I have a yard with steep slope so I wonder how it would work for the slope.
The rated elevations are steeper than most people know. Get an analog Slope meter from home depot and a 2×4 , measure it out. It's rated Slope settings are spot on
Its about time someone used LiDAR in a mower like this. Only downside I could see to this mower is where the blades are under it in the middle. Its not going to get all the way to the edge without going outside its border to do so. What was your experience with it on this? Cant wait to see your opinion on the Luba.
These style mowers will require some weed eating here and there. There is an edge cut feature and with every update it's getting more dialed in. But as you mentioned, area where grass goes to the border of a fence or wall it cannot get that close.... but no machine can. Some will get slightly closer.
Which machine would you currently recommend? I've been eyeing Luba and Sunseeker but this seems nice as well.
I currently use a Landroid and want something smarter.
Safety would be a real concern unlike the soft brushes of robot vacuum cleaners. Big law suits for lost toes?
It's Kool lookin'.
I dig it!
@@pestandlawnginja anything on anti theft with the system?
@jeffreyrivers1983 yes. It has a keypad 4 digit code lock and anti tapering alarm
But for this price many others have a wider cutting distance along with a more blade section not just the 1 inches his offers.
Great videos. My question is: If service is needed, where do you send the unit? Thank you..
Followup: I checked the Dreame website. They give a 1 year warranty. There is no information about how to have the mower serviced. I am really into robot mowers and really appreciate your videos.
One selling point for me is, does the company stand behind their product. Husqvarna has three service centers in my area. I'm hoping Husqvarna will produce a unit similar to the Dreame A1. Again, thank you for your videos.
dreame a1 has facilities that you send it into. the nearest service location i'm not sure. dreame has been on the market for quiet some time so yes i'm confident you wouldn't have issues with warranty. they've been producing vacuums for a long time.
Can it mow over half an acre or is it limited? Would like it for my acre property. TIA. Peace out! 🙂
its limited. its made for small or medium sized lawns
Serious question - how do robotic mowers handle pet landmines in the lawn? Can only imagine that situation would be terrible.
If it's dry it's not as big of a poop show. But does get in the tires
Do you know if you have to place the charging station inside of a mow zone? IE -- could I put the charging base on a patio and then create a path from the charging base to one of the mow zones?
That's a good question. I'll have to try it and get back to you.
Also, how would you compare it to a luba and the Segway navimow
Yes you can put the mover away from any cutting zone and then create a path. At least according to the manual and videos, havent been able to test it myself since I got mine yesterday. :)
@@aquastealth that's awesome -- does it have a bumper? or does it just not hit anything at all? I have a luba 2 currently but it's a bit clunky between my home and my next door neighbor's home, because of the lower level of satellite signal.
How's it look cutting a lawn instead of green carpet!
😆
Can the height be set to 4” or 5” for St Augustine grass ?
they all should be mowing min 4 to 5 days per week. its a grass growth issue, not a machine issue.
The backlapping is a common technique specific to reel mower blades. doesn't matter if its a manual reel mower or not.
First Aussie 😬. Ginja , soon you’ll be assigned to inside watching reruns of the Jerry Springer show while the AI mower looks after ITS lawn . 😳😬
Good call 😄
What about the collection box? Where does the grass go?
It mulched the clippings. I run it 5x to 7x per week so you don't need to bag
It’s pretty impractical I would think to cut every day where I live because the grass is often wet. Does the robot cut wet grass?
Not great on wet grass no. Every other day is fine with this style mower. I prefer daily
I have a super important question!!!!!
I am killing poison ivy that is on cut up tree wood that we need to burn that have been just sitting outside. Since we will burn the wood in our fire pit, I am going to kill the poison with 30%vinegar so I am not burning dried up round up on the wood.
My question is, when I get the time in the fall to reseed, can I use 30%vinegar to kill off my grass and weed salad bar of a backyard, then scarify/mow up the dead stuff and reseed? Or will the vinegar left in the soil prevent germination? I was thinking spray, wait a week, respray, wait another week, then mow/scarify/spread new dirt and seed, just wanted your thoughts on using something more natural to still kill everything off? Thank you!!!
The vinegar solution kills soil beneficial micros and bacteria. You'll need to scrape the top and replace the dirt if you want to re plant sooner than later. It increases the soil acidity too and sterilizes the soil.
It may or may not be a quick enough solution to get all the way through the roots as well. Not a route I would take personally
@@pestandlawnginja Oh I am going to put down about 100 bags of soil, bags are cheaper here than a truckload after delivery. Spread all that out, seed, then starter fert as well. I read vinegar only messes with acidity for about a week and then dissapates from the soil? Mayve I will try round up on one side n vinegar on the other first though, thank you!
Dreame A1 o Oasa R1 ? wer mäht und navigiert besser?
depends on what you want. one is a reel mower and the other is a rotary cutting mower.
It seems expensive for the size that it cuts. For that price I would expect it to be larger and maybe go to 1.5 acres
I was thinking the same and was going to ask if I created say 3 sections of a 1/2 acre and had each section mowed on its own day, would that solve the size problem? I have a Starlink tower in the middle of my lawn so I can see the sky no problem, but I do like the idea of no RTK stuff. I don't know how steep my lawn is though, so that incline value might be a problem.
But, w/r/t your video, do you think this creates donuts?
Good feedback. Thanks for sharing
So far no ruts. I'm really enjoying the lidar. But you still have ro pick things up out of the yard.
The mower does roughly 10,000 sq ft per day but I feel like the limitations is the lidar area making of 70 meters. If you look at the map I published I can see all 4 of my neighbors property. My property is the center and is small. It's about .22 of am acre. So I feel like the half acre limitations may be the Achilles heal in your situation
@@pestandlawnginja Yeah I was amazed how far the lidar picked things up! but just my front yard is 35,000ft² Luba takes about 10 hours on that at full speed. If this one can only do 10k a day probably couldn't keep it up, I would have to have a bigger model. I wonder if they have plans for a larger one?
It’s really a good price if it really works. Most city suburban houses have less than 500 sqm. That’s a massive demographic who are willing to pay. I am waiting for more feedback on those product before throwing away my husqvarna. Not having to install perimeter wire and not worrying about satellites is a big plus. But I am sceptical about lidor. This is too good to be true.
Hi from the UK
Where are you? The mountains look dramatic.

@@MrAndyosbo utah!
USA state of utah. great place to be. thanks for watching
Ah.
I’ve been watching Studio McGee from Utah and their designer house and garden.
I suspect they’re Californian but nice digs they have
Can it handle fallen leaves?
Won't be able to give you a good answer until fall in my region. With other machines I've tested with similar blades A few scattered leaves was okay but more that that was not
How about apples from a apple tree? Would it just run over them?
yes it would
Glad you got it free few others can afford it. Regardless I'm not impressed that mower would not be able to cut our St. Augustine or Bermuda grass, it would literally choke on it.
It's meant to mow small amounts daily. It can handle it but you'd still need to scalp the Bermuda a few times per season
No antennae/GPS/RTK is a huge selling point. As others are saying, its still a bit too costly while everyone is still competing for robo mower market domination. Not sure why there are so many considering they've been in europe for so long.
It's been fun seeing all the advances and competing products. I think competitive is fantastic
Is there any way to contact you directly
Social media is best
I
Have 2.5 acres. Need a bigger one.
This is not your guy
Not available in the UK 😢
Crazy
Max cut height of 2.7”? Never mow again, because if I cut my KBG to 2.7” in summer I will either go broke watering it to keep it alive or it will be fried and dead.
Sunseeker Orion X7 still seems to be better.
I have kbg at 1 inch. I've experienced no corelation to height of cut and watering as you're suggesting. The only thing that matters is how often you mow
@@pestandlawnginja Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I am not sure I have had the same experience, but am happy to be wrong. I will give it another try and keep it shorter as things warm up more and see what happens.
do you think this mower would do well on longer st. augustine grass?
I prefer st Augustin 3.5" or higher. But this on paper would work. I've never tried it to say for sure
Obstacle avoidance 5 cm? Is it true ? 😱😱
I felt like 10cm x 10cm was the reasonable expectation. Once the software gets updated in the future I don't see why not. Grass must also be short
straight lines was a bit of an exaggeration I would say :D
Dreametech, is a Chinese manufacturer
Its way too expensive for what it is, IMO. There's mowers around half the cost and true, they use antennas, but I think the lawn gets mowed either way.
I have a few Dreame vacuums and they've been fine. Not great, but ok. I bought them mostly based on cost and features so I was excited about getting a mower.....until I saw the $2500 price tag.
Not very many cheap robot mowers for sure. So far I've enjoyed this one. Super reliable.
The segway naivmow comes to mind. $1300 for .25 acres and $999 for .125 acres. Uses the Antenna system but seems like a better value. In your opinion, what would the Dreame do better if both were setup and operating properly for the extra $700? It would mow more lawn, granted, but seems comparable on features.
I will say that I've been an early adopter of Dreame vacuums and its been a mixed experience. I have two Dream vacuums. One vacuum I had was defective out of the box and had to be returned. It would just spin in circles trying to build a map of the house. Replacement vacuum was alright but still sometimes doesn't dock consistently. Not sure what's up with that one. The other Dream vacuum I have has been great.
@@shoerhino thanks for sharing. Lots of factors to consider
Interesting. But, I ordered the Mammotion Yuka with the sweeper. A lot of tech for the money.
second review of this ive watched with no proof it actually cuts grass? all im seeing is a robot cruising around on a short lawn
😆 it's not a bushwacker. It's meant to take a tiny bit off the top. Spend some time and educate yourself

How about people stealing your mower
There is a key pad pin lock, lift alarm
But I *like* the hour I spend mowing…
Enjoy the mow!
Go hide and drink a beer. The wife and kids will never know.
Good come over my house I'll let you have fun.
Yea but you could be watching more youtubes…
Sponsored by Dreame. Next.
I know.... telling the truth is awful 😖
@@pestandlawnginja i especially liked the part where you showed it cut already manicured grass.
Dude, loved all the info you provided about lawn care in the past for diy homeowners. How to fert, over seed, dethatch a lawn.
Lately everything you have been reviewing is made in china and owned by a Chinese company.
Just wondering if the Chinese government offered you job to shill for the CCP?
Just an observation.
😆 schill.... love that word.
You are correct that lots of Chinese companies in the game. The real question is why aren't others in the game.
Like to add I don't support xenophobia of any kind. Careful of your wording. Not a good look
They’re watching you🥸 that lil Chinese mower is tracking your every move and sharing your lawn mowing schedule with the supreme chairman himself…cause he cares…like…a LOT.
You must live in a low crime area ,that mower wouldn't last 24 hrs in the Portland Oregon metro area 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😆
Luckily it has some anti theft features
Lidar is great, until it breaks. Probably cost more than the mower to replace. Stay away from Chinese robotics, especially if you have to put their app on your phone and home WiFi.
Is Xi watching?
All this robotic mowers are overpriced pieces of plastic. Product cost is like 600$ for rtk versions, dimb ones with wires shouldn’t cost more than 100$.
How long will
They last with just razors for cutting?
This is wireless and uses lidar
