EcoFlow Blade Robotic Lawn Mower & Sweeper Full Review

[@juliandclarke]

Good vid. I looked at the Ecoflow, but chose the Mammotion Luba AWD 5000 instead. Comparable. Interesting to compare.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Thanks - I should be getting a Mammotion to test in Spring. How do you find it?

[@juliandclarke]

Very good. Similar price to the EcoFlow, but has better capabilities - 4 wheel drive, bigger battery, two cutting wheels with 4 blades each, IPX6. Ours is called Shaun.

@@juliandclarke 🤣Thanks - sounds good look forward to taking a look at it.

[@samu3813]

But can the mammotion bag the clippings or 🍃?

[@juliandclarke]

@@samu3813 Ecoflow can only collect a few leafs. And you have to empty it. Most robot lawn mowers cut regularly so no need to collect grass

Hi. Do you have any updates on the ecoflow robotic lawnmower since it’s been a year since your original video?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Hi unfortunately I had to move this lawnmower on. I had no issues with it though.

[@prwilson101]

If you have a front lawn and a back lawn could you manually move the mower to the front garden, say, and have that as a separate area, without having to move and reinstall the antenna and the base?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

No unfortunately not.

[@katherineeason5465]

Very thorough description! Thank you. Your lawn could use some tlc!!

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Thanks!

[@remotemowers]

very nice design

[@TheTechnologyMan]

Yes indeed!

[@ShannonJosephGlomb]

And people say miracles dont happen ❤❤❤

[@TheTechnologyMan]

It's an impressive bit of kit!

[@geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz]

I'm going to invent a flying drone version that dive bombs and skims across the lawn. I just need several million in donations please. Common. You know you want one!

[@TheTechnologyMan]

😀

[@katherineeason5465]

Where do I mail my donation?

[@geeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz]

@@katherineeason5465 PO Box 1234. Save your dosh Kath I'm working on a new project of how to stop wierdo neighbours glaring into my kitchen at me without having to close the blinds and live in the dark. Am thinking reflective window film maybe? One for TechnoMan to look into? Maybe I could rig up some kind of laser blinding ray to target anyone who stares, a glance is ok? That would be a super solution. I'm simply a genius or simple or something.

[@ashtonwoodturnings225]

All well and good, we HAD a robotic mower, but it was stolen, wont be buying another

[@calebtaylor4153]

How was it stolen? Did you not use the E-sim?

[@TheTechnologyMan]

I'm sorry to hear that. That is a concern I covered in the video. EcoFlow have thought about this and have made it very difficult for anyone not authorised to use it and you can track it. But a thief may not know any of that so I would still be concerned leaving it on a front lawn at least.

[@gaijintendo]

@@TheTechnologyManTotally agree. A thief won't know about these security feature as most thefts are opportunistic.

[@TheTechnologyMan]

@@calebtaylor4153 The Blade has only just been released - so assuming he had another brand robot lawn mower stolen.

[@TheTechnologyMan]
