Robot Lawn Mower with Max 180m Stable Boundary Wire - Recommended 550㎡, Max 900㎡, 300% Higher Efficiency of Grid-Shaped Mowing Path, Automatic Robotic Lawn Mower with Auto Mapping & Recharge

I've used my little mower twice now, and I'm happy with it. I didn't have any robot errors after my initial setup. While researching this mower I was concerned about the negative reviews from people who said they had to pull out their perimeter wire and redo it. I definitely didn't want to do that, so when installing the perimeter wire, I stuck with straight lines and 90 degree angles. I'll have to do some clean up around the edges of my yard, but I'm OK with that. Setting up the perimeter wire was a big job, but it's important to do it right. I also wanted the wire as close to the ground as I could get it, so it didn't get cut by the mower or other yard tools, so I put the pins in every one foot, instead of the suggested 2 1/2 feet (fyi - this didn't cause any problems with the robot). The Anthbot app is saying my mowing area measures 164m2, which is quite a bit under the recommended mowing area limit.There are three mowing patterns available: parallel (which mows parallel lines to the charging station), perpendicular (which mows perpendicular lines to the charging station), and Criss Cross (which will mow perpendicular then parallel lines). The criss cross pattern will take twice as long as either parallel or perpendicular, but it will give you the neatest cut, with hardly any "tufts"

So far so good, ran my first mow session and it did a good job. It's very quite and suitable for running at night. It climbed the slope in my front yard without a problem as well. The cutting area does need to be relatively smooth with limited dips or holes as it can get stuck. You will also need to trim the edges as you normally would with weed wacker etc. The logic is impressive but can miss a small spot here or there. The app shows you exactly where it's been and how much it has completed which is nice feature. Overall I like it thus far. Only time will tell of its longevity.

BEWARE OF FALSE ADVERTISING!I received the product, it arrived fine and in good condition. I have a relatively flat .23 acre yard. I choose to bury the boundary wire, which took quite some time. I used a power edger, but found that I really needed to go back over it with a manual edger to get a good enough cut to bury the wire. This took around 6-8 hours.After burying the wire and following all instructions, I started the bot which at first goes across the full boundary line. It is EXTREMELY finicky as to the grade of the boundary path, it has to be within 15 degrees, which may seem like a lot but its stopped by a very small slope or even an extra bit of leaves. I spent about 4 days tearing up my yard on hands and knees with a level to make the path perfect so that it would complete the boundary circuit.FINALLY it completed the circuit, just to give me another error "The Boundary wire length or working area are overlimit" so I reduced the size, unearthing the boundary line and cutting off sections of my yard, then back to hands and knees to precisely level the path. I did this three times and still got the same error.2 weeks of work and it hasn't mowed an inch of grass. Customer support never answered me.If you have a very tiny yard, maybe it works, I wouldn't know. If you are anywhere near 1/5 of an acre, don't buy this, purchase another brand. The fact that they claim Max 180m wire is ridiculous, as i was closer to 130m and it still wont work.I will be returning this, hopefully they don't require the boundary wire back as I buried it. What a pain in the butt after 2 weeks trying to get this thing to work.

I purchased the ANTHBOT robotic lawn mower to ease the difficulty in cutting of my backyard. Because my backyard is steep with a 22 degree angle, I always found it teddious to cut the lawn while keeping my balance. I received the robot in a very timely manner and found it to be packaged very well. All parts were present and included ample number of plastic ground pegs to hold the boundary wire in place along with a significant amount of wire to cover the entire perimeter of my yard. I liked the design of the robot, especially the extra large rear wheels that were studded to enhance traction. Setting up the robot was extremely easy, especially using the app, which made the setup procedure go very smoothly. The quick start-up guide along with the instruction booklet were well written and easy to understand. Charging the robot went quickly and overall, I had everything in place and ready to go within a few hours. Unfortunately, I ran into problems getting the robot to operate in a consistent manner due to the steepness of my yard. Running horizontally was not an issue. Problems existed when the robot attempted to turn either uphill or downhill. Going uphill, the robot would slip and lose traction mostly due to the loose soil that contains a lot of sand. Going downhill, the robot would again slide and become unable to negotiate the turn and stay on course. Another issue that contributed to the poor traction is the fact that I live on top of a mountain where there is a lot of moisture in the air, so the grass is usually somewhat damp, which allowed for more slippage and additional loss of traction. I cannot blame any of these problems or concerns on the ANTHBOT robot as the result of poor construction or a design flaw since any robot currently available in the marketplace would probably experience similar difficulties and fail in a similar manner. I spoke with the companies customer service department and they provided several helpful suggestions, none of which improved the situation. The robot would work exceptionally well when running horizontally across my yard. It only experienced problems when attempting to make turns up or down the angled yard. It should be noted that I had a great experience with customer service and they were very helpful in trying to come up with ideas that might eliminate some of the problems I was experiencing. When all else failed, they indicated that I could return the robot, no questions asked, and receive a full refund, which is what I did. Overall, I feel that the ANTHBOT lawn mower would be a wonderful option to consider for cutting ones lawn under normal circumstances.
