Loving the Landroid a lot. Used to mow once or twice a week to keep it nice and short but now I only need to tidy up the edges of the lawns every couple of weeks.
So that's 2-3 hours a week of mowing down to maybe 30min every 2 weeks.
Landroid is fairly easy to set up but some planning should be done with where the wiring is going for the boundary.
My lawn is a big U shape with a few islands in it but its handling it fine without the use of zoning.
AI mowing schedule doesn't seem to work for me so I have a manual schedule set. Currently it mows for 40-60 hours a week as I prefer it looking short all the time.
It will mow around 2-3 hours per charge and takes 50min to recharge.
I would highly recommend getting the Offlimits module for the use of the short cut feature. If used correctly on a large property, it cuts down time it takes to get back to charge. I have 350m of boundary wire and instead of it traveling around it will only do up to 70m to get home.
I don't have many trees around my place but if you do, I wouldn't recommend the landroid as it doesn't cut up leaves very well. You would need to clean up leaves in the fall or use another mower to mulch it.
Also this mower was never made to cut grass like a normal mower. It should be cutting grass almost daily and it will maintain it if set up correctly. I see a lot of bad reviews on it because the people thought it was meant to do one off mows per week like how they would do it manually. The whole idea is that it consistently manages the lawn so you don't have to do much.
I've noticed that since having the landroid, spraying broadleaf weeds is a lot easier as they will grow out flat instead of up. You can spray them and the mower doesn't cut them until they start withering and die off.
App functionally is ok. It does what it needs to and it's set and forget once it's running properly, Haven't had any errors with the mower since the first week of trouble shooting.
Tips for people buying one.
1) Plan the routes, leave extra cable and do islands around things that it can get stuck on.
2) Don't make the wire too close to walls and hedges, it can get stuck.
3) Make sure the base is flat and the metal prongs are level with the mower connector.
4) Wifi needs to be set to 2.4ghz only, set up new ssid for it if you can.
5) Get Offlimits module and set up shortcuts if you have a large lawn or long boundary wires.
6) If you want to have it edge cut an island, you need to run the wires to it with a parallel 15cm gap to the island or it won't cut the island.
7) Adding extra weights (2-5kg) to the back of the mower helps a lot with it turning and reversing on slopes.
