I’ve never met a robot lawnmower I didn’t hate. They’re all a nightmare to set up; I’ve lost hours of my life burying boundary wires around the garden only for them to shift when the ground gets wet. Even GPS robots that claim to be simple are a hassle, as they require huge antennas and base stations, and they continuously lose signal when they’re on the move.
So when Eufy sent over its first robot lawnmower, the E15, I grumbled (loudly) when I took it out of the box. Great – another robot mower I’d waste hours setting up, only to end up doing the job myself with a regular lawnmower or grass strimmer instead.
