The $2,899 EcoFlow Blade robotic mower disappoints with shoddy hardware and software

▤ Summary

The rear wheels have huge, knobby tires that allow it to climb hills and power through mud, gravel and deep grass. They sit 45 degrees to the body and have unidirectional tires, giving the rear-wheel drive mower a tight turning radius. The installation sounds great on paper as it uses 4G and GPS to create a mowing area instead of a physical wire used in older robotic mowers. Occasionally, during setup, the mower will suddenly veer to a side and stop, leaving a weird spot on the designated mowing area. When approaching a wayward dandelion, the Blade stops short, thinks for 30 seconds, and casually sidesteps the weed with a WALL-E-like uninterested demeanor.
