LawnMasterOcuMow™ Perimeter Wire Free Robot Lawn Mower Cuts Small Lawns 1000-2000 Square Feet with Optical Navigation, Obstacle Avoidance, Low Noise and No Go Function

This is my third mower and I really like this one. The one in the front yard has a guide wire and I'm good with it. That one still ticks and has alot more features. I bought this one for the backyard. It's all fenced in so I don't need to babysit it. The sensors do great, I like that I can turn them off. If this is your first don't expect a perfect mow the first time, it takes multiple passes to get it all done. The way it works is you set it down every day, every other day and go on with your life. Weed eat the edges and just fill the little holes and fix the little obstacles and you are golden. I hate to mow and this little guy takes care of that for me.

This mower works well, but it needs a software update. It either mows in a circular pattern (think Roomba) or in a random pattern. It only goes a few circles and then switches automatically to random mowing mode. If the circular mowing pattern would continue until it encountered an obstacle or change of terrain, it would mow better. Because of this, it leaves patches of unmown grass on the lawn. I have a small lawn and one charge allows it to cover the lawn several times but it never manages to get the entire lawn done. It does, however, recognize the sidewalk, edging, and changes in terrain very well. I have landscaping in the front yard that is bordered just by mulch and the mower stops before entering the mulch and goes in a different direction. When it does occasionally get stuck, it figures out how to remove itself from being trapped and continues. The magnetic strip that comes with the mower is not nearly long enough to block off the mower from entering my neighbor's yard and I had to buy a second strip. It does recognize the magnetic strip well and never passes it. It doesn't get close enough to the edges of any part of the yard, though, and stops about 3-4" from any change in terrain. This means I have to mow the perimeter of the lawn. Overall, it's a very good little mower, taking about 90 minutes to mow my lawn on one charge. It could be better.

so far, so good. I opted for the simplest robot mower I could find that had good reviews. my grass was a little taller than preferred for first cut but mower did a fine job. I still have to work on my yard to get it more robot mower friendly, but I expected that. cut quality seems fine, pretty easy to use and noise level is very quiet.

So I love my first experience of watching a robot do my grass while I do other things.But I need a LOT more magnetic wire. The website shows it but you can't buy it. Amazon has it but you can only pre-order for sometime mid july. I finally got a live voice with customer service at Lawnmaster and they know absolutely nothing, put me on hold, refused to continue our conversation til I can find the product number of the magnetic strips and can't even answer the question of whether there is any universal wire that will work. So now I get to purchase something that I don't know will work and have something else to return that was a scam. So end result, the customer service person kept telling me that there is no way anyone with lawnmaster can find out what kind of universal wire can be used with this thing. Trust me go elsewhere

First day review:This is perfect for small spaces and my microyard. We live in a maintenance-free condo/townhouse but needed to fence a small section of yard for our reactive dog. It’s too small to mow, but is also kind of a pain to weedeat. This little mower did a fantastic job today. We charged the battery to full and tried to run it until dead, but ended up just turning it off 3 hours later. The cut is even and we never had to rescue the mower, even on the small, yet steep, hill. So, so far so good! I’ll update if things go south.

Had to return this robot mower as it would not work on my lawn. The lawn is raised about 18 inches above the surrounding area and has an 8 inch wide concrete paver boundary that is level with the lawn. The item description does not mention this, but the manufacturer included a note in the box that it required a minimum boundary width of 13 inches for the mower to be able to detect it. I did a test run and the mower did in fact just keep going over the pavers. I was right by it to catch it before it actually crashed over the edge. Cannot comment on it's ability to cut grass.

Slow, has a random pattern that leaves the yard patchy, looks like a drinking teenager mowed the lawn. The provided no go strips are to small for a front yard.With that said, I will buy another one later, but will get a higher quality one. This worked as proof of concept.

Yes I bought this because it did say perimeter free but turns out you must have actual stationary perimeter to use this robot. However it does come with 33 feet of magnet strip to use for said perimeter but I would need like 6 rolls to use it. So I returned it but after I fully read the manual and realized that it will not work for me but if you have a fenced in yard it would be perfect for you! Can't really tell you anything about mowing ability because it was never out of the box. Looks good well built heavy plastic.
