Steve, I figured out for $3000. I can pay my lawn person to mow my yard for the next 16 years. Really cool toy though. I love your videos, keep up the good work.
Holly Crap! Where does this person exist? In my area of the world $3000 will get you a lawn service for 4 years max.... and we have 4 seasons, and only 2 seasons of grass growing.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i've lived here in Texas all my life. On average, I Mow my yard about six times a year. The last time a kid came by to mow my yard. He said he would do the whole thing edge mow and blow for $30. I mow my yard every two weeks.
@@mikebrach5412 Northeast Indiana my grass needs once a week and twice a week if it rains lol , my climate is similar to Canada since I’m not far from the southern border
I can see this being very useful for people who are unable to use a push mower and a riding mower is too big for their lawn. Even people with riding mowers need a smaller mower for sections of their lawn.
This is a neat machine and a great review of it. If I were not so lazy I would buy one. I don’t like yard work so for $ 1800 a year I get my lawn mowed, edged and the grass bagged. I don’t have to lift a finger and have more time to play with my drones. 😂👍👍
Really cool but by the time someone buys one, they could pay an enterprising kid (like in the van) to mow many many times. Even at $50/mow it would be about 48 mows to buy the base model and you wouldn't even have to stand there running it - could be riding the eMTB instead!!!! Next house (hopefully soon) we are downsizing to a much smaller yard where I don't need riding mowers or a small fortune to hire a crew to deal with stupid grass. I'd zeroscape if it wasn't midwest and would instantly turn into a rocky weed patch without a ridiculous amount of toxic spray. Could be good for some hazardous slopes that are a danger to walk/ride - especially for a commercial mower where mitigating some employee injury risk would be a financial no-brainer.
This is the coolest thing EVER!!!! I remember seeing an electric self propelled AI mower but it scanned the area and mowed by itself this is way cooler all it needs is a FPV option so you can sit down and go at it 😁 super cool CAP 👍🏻and in the long run this could very well be worth the price✌🏼
Use a plastic cutting board to make side bumpers of a suitable size, round the edges so that the branches do not stick, attach them with double-sided tape. But it's too late now that it's already scratched, but as a tip for others.
I remember people shoving apples and oranges into the steering wheel of Teslas to get around the deadman checks for self driving. I'll bet there's limitless ways to keep that momentary switch held down and just focus on the sticks. Albeit at the cost of safety.
At least ot looks a little more functional than the other ones i watched. They looked like Roomba for your lawn. The didnt even have a bag. Thats funny. All these people including a dad wanting to buy it for his kid wanting to start a business.😅😂 Back when i was a kid who mowed lawns we actually worked!😅😂
Awesome! I have an old battery powered mower that I’ve been thinking about converting to remote control. The batteries are dead so I need to come up with a great 48v battery setup and find a couple of good drive motors. Great video I wish I could afford one. One idea if they are listening a snow plow attachment would be great on this guy with the weight. I’m thinking about also setting up an RC car for that purpose in the future! 👍🏾👍🏾
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 not just remote, but automatous. Imagine it, you have a sensor, and as soon as the snow gets to a certain level the snow blower rolls out of it's hut and starts doing it's thing. You'd maybe need to take the time in to consideration too. Your auto snow blower starting up at 3am, isn't going to net you many friends, even if it is electric.
It's cool and I'm glad it exists for people who can't mow, but I'm really just waiting for an AI robot who does all the mowing, edging, trimming, blowing, sweeping, weeding, watering, seeding, and fertilizing.
Correct… holding one of the buttons down is the old “DEAD MAN STICK” that exists in dangerous machinery. Once released the Mowrator stops. All for safety.
Steve, when you do the 180 turn at the end of a row, does it come back true to 180 or do you have to make an adjustment? Otherwise, looks like a cool product that certainly has a niche market. Thanks for all your testing and comments, we ALL appreciate your unbiased reviews.
Seems ok but 3 or 4 times the price of a reg electric mower is just too much. It should be automated rather than remote control rd for that price. CHEERS and THANKS Steve h
Great mower Steve but ….. I’d rather stick with my Husqvarna mower… The Robomower just cuts & goes to recharges itself .. easily handles rain & wet grass but I guess for smaller lawns 😀👍
I saw a price of $699 and I thought wow that's expensive, then I realised that was the price for the battery...the small battery, lol. I know it's different in N America, folk have more land, and money. Ride on mower, and snow blowers and all that type of thing, ppl just don't own here in the UK, especially not in big cities like where I live.
Way cool!!! I’m surprised you didn’t convert it to FPV, jk! I wonder how long before they add a weed-eater on a robotic arm so the operator can get those hard to reach places and for edging. What’s the range of the radio? Does it have gps and return to home feature? Excellent review of an Excellent product.
Send it to me, and I'll Review it from a Disability view by operating it from my electric wheelchair! Nothing better than a review about use for the Disabled, than to be reviewed by a Disabled person!
One more observation, the manual refers "The filter at the position indicated by the two arrows needs to be cleaned regularly". This label didn't come on my equipment and I can't locate these filters. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
@@nunoaleixo1162Strange. A filter usually refers to a part of the machine that pulls in air to a sensor & the filter would keep debris out of the sensor.
My guess is this mower wasn't developed with RC control as the end point. They probably intend to incorporate self-driving auto-pilot into this design in the near future. At that point, I'll spend the $$$$.
Holly Cut ! .......umm I meant Crap !! Captain !; Geez, the USA Bill to ban DJI Drones missed this little Baby !!!!!!!; well, there's a "Go Figure" !!!; well, I guess they will now have to look at the National Security implications of the Mowrator; hope you are having a great break !!!!
Just make sure you do not use this to mow a government yard. The mower is a DJI security risk. China will find out what type of grass we use. 😂 OMG. We Must Ban the Mower. Really enjoy all your videos. Thanks.
With taller grass or obstacles it becomes more efficient to cut while moving backwards. However, the speed of moving backwards is very slow. Any way to increase speed in reverse?
Reverse is a set speed for safety since there are no sensors or bumper in the rear. I can’t change the speed myself. The company would have to unlock that option.

Ya just never know :-)
Finally, a great solid review of the 2wd machine. Thanks. 24:42
Glad I could help
now you can chase Tractor MAN !
I just may do that

Fact
@nrnoble You are correct
Ditto 24:42
This is cool. I remember they had one in “Honey I shrunk the kids”. It’s finally real!
HI Steve if you could get the drone to fly over the mower you could watch the mower on FPV goggles and never leave your chair.
wow a master of all trades, Steve
Hi Steve. All I can say is I'm jealous.
Excellent Tutorial Video On The Mowrator. Very nice. Thank you Captain Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it
I will review that 😊
Now you just need someone to 3D print some parts to make it look like the APC from Aliens
That is rather costly even with the $600.00 off but is very useful for people with disabilities. Thanks for the video Steve!

Put a dji 03 air unit on it. Make it fpv 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video. But you have to constantly hold down the blade run button? Seems like your finger will get tired…

Most times it comes back perfectly but depending on bumps in the ground it could require adjustments
Bagus banget...bikin tidak capek👍👍👍
Love it although a little too expensive for me in NZ ☺️
There are also some robot lawn mowers like roomba for your lawn, I would rather get those
It's the Avata 1 in lawnmower form 😅 Slap on an O3 air unit and get your goggles
Don't know why but reminds me of the Delorean BTTF
Cool
Niceeeeeeee
👍 DJI need to make it more automatic. Like a Husqvarna.

Can you use the turn around buttons for cruise control instead of using joystick when your not in cruise control mode?Thanks!
The TURN AROUND (180) is for CRUISE CONTROL so that you don't have to bother with joysticks with a large lawn.
What about putting a budget walksnail fpv video system to do the yard from inside the house?. Or will it suffer signal range?.
I wonder.... Mowrator and Roomba had a baby? hmmmm
My guess is this mower wasn't developed with RC control as the end point. They probably intend to incorporate self-driving auto-pilot into this design in the near future. At that point, I'll spend the $$$$.
You can have one for 3or $4000 for that price i expect it to dance and play music and convert into Grimlock . " Grimlock hate mowing lawns"😅😂🤪😂😁
I dont have grass to mow, but too bad you can't program it to memorize your yard and put it on auto pilot
add a DJI 03 system on there!

Surprisingly they do sell plenty of these (also your listed price is incorrect for the version I reviewed), price is less.
