"Power on. Let's start a new journey," the EcoFlow Blade Robotic Lawn Mower announces on boot up. From here, I carefully manoeuvre the specialist bit of kit around the garden with a virtual toggle stick that for a split second could be forgiven for that of a video game. Once the predetermined path is established, the Blade rolls off its charging station and begins its journey all by itself.
And quite the journey it's been since I first received the EcoFlow Blade Robotic Lawn Mower for testing back in September 2023. Having first needed to send back the robot lawn mower due to technical issues surrounding account log-in with the app, and then subsequently entering into the winter period, the mower was rendered relatively useless until the sun started to shine again.
