When the reel to bed knife contact is as tight as it is in the video, it will certainly drain all "sound" the cutting of leaf blade will produce.

[@antonnym214]

Excellent review! That is wild about the self-calibrating blade alignment! This thing solves a lot of problems from the earlier generation robotic mowers. Loving the fact you don't have to install a boundry wire in the yard! That alone is worth the price of admission.

[@johnlysic6727]

Very interesting - I will keep an eye on this one - I definitely prefer the reel mowing - my problem is debris from the trees in my yard , pretty sure the reel will get stuck

[@pestandlawnginja]

that is a concern for sure!

[@paladin1843]

Nice finish to the lawn, navigation can now be perfected to be wireless and GPS-free, but the most significant downside to the concept (reel mower) is the same as the old push mower. The blade is more or less permanent - requires sharpening, and any dings or dents will affect the cut. Dings or dents from branches, twigs, small undetected obstacles, gravel or rocks, even borders or bits of mulch. And these become more likely with greater frequency of cutting - you almost need to do yard policing prior to each mow (a brief wind storm leaves my yard covered with debris from surrounding trees). If you trash the blade(s) on a Segway or Husqvarna, or if they dull (my Segway blades last about 80 hours), you take a couple of minutes and replace them I like the idea, and look forward to further advances, but fear this may be a short branch on the automower evolutionary tree.

[@dsbennett]

I pay a boy to mow our grass. He leaves trails where his tires roll over and smash the grass and then it pops up after he leaves. I can't wait to get one of these and have nice clean evenly cut grass.

[@christophbreitkopf]

Thank you for the video. Which mower would you recommend - OASA R1 or TERRAMOW?

[@mkaiserme]

Great question!

[@remvuremv3765]

Indeed would love to know

[@pestandlawnginja]

reely just depends on your lawn goals really. this is for lawn fanatics that want a clean clean cut and can afford time to make sure debris is off the lawn. they're both fantstic for what they are.

[@biffhenderson1144]

With many mowers entering this market segment, it will be interesting to see which survive beyond the next five years. Competition is good for the consumer. The R1 has a very nice cutting system. The use of Lidar is an interesting choice. Nice demo on a NICE lawn. However, straight lines are very important.

[@pestandlawnginja]

great point!

Acorns and reel to bed knife contact don't mix well.

[@eric505]

I've owned 6 generations of robotic mowers over the last 15 years. With 4 wheel drive and camera/GPS navigation they finally are worth buying and don't get stuck all the time. The Luba 2 is great. That said, the blades on the Luba 2 leave something to be desired. The reel on this is interesting.

Great feedback

[@s.paulguillory6122]

Will you be posting an update video?

[@Munkemanden]

I am at the edge of buying the kickstarter on this one... But I am very unsure how it handles branches and so on from trees? Obviusly I try to keep the grass free, but with 2 huge trees there is always small branches after the sligtest wind... 🤔 And what about them leaves?

[@pestandlawnginja]

it won't do well with branches. leaves wouldn't be a big deal

[@VidJunkie63]

I am happy to see a video on this new product that is not the glowing marketing material. I pinged Oasa several questions on the Kickstarter page, but I'll share them here if you have any thoughts and can share comments. I live in Florida. It is HOT here. We have Saint Augustine grass, which is much thicker and broader than the grass you have in the video. Can the R1 handle high temperatures and "tropical" sun? Can the R1 handle thick St. Augustine grass? St. Augustine grass grows up, meaning that where it may have been installed nearly flush with sidewalks or driveways, as it matures over the years, it will have a root bed above the concrete creating a "step", can the R1 accommodate that and not get "stuck"? Without a GPS, how does the R1 auto-map the perimeter with no fences to delineate the separation between properties? Lastly, what kind of end-user maintenance program is needed, and cost of parts, such as the reel, wheels, and tires?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Cutting st Augustine will be fine. This is a very high quality reel. As for maintenance and the long term. The question is how to grind the reel every e years and how that will be resolved. I don't have an answer for that. In regards to the borders the lidar computer it all by separating shapes and patterns and colors. No real issues there. Lidars been used in homes for many years. Not a new technology. You can indeed program neighboring property lines by using the manual controls.

[@michaelkenney7279]

Is the second generation Oasa you unboxed going to be what you get through the Kickstarter ordering?

[@bigmahlman]

Wow this thing looks awesome. Would love to see some double wide patterns and a mini roller for some sweet stripes.

most antitheft has geo location built in similar to a cell phone / find my phone. its also bound to the software so the thief cannot use it. this was a primary concern when cell phones came out. now that they have the anti theft dialed in most people don't steal cell phones.

[@ITler]

Good video! Very informative and detailed. I have some questions which you might be able to answer: OASE says the reel blades need to me changed every 3 - 4 years. At 2:24 min you say the reel needs a "major sharpening". These information sound contrary to me. Do you know if it needs to be changed or if sharpening is enough by know? To be honest I don't know why it should be sharpened if it's doing that itself. If the reel needs to be changed, do you know the costs of it and if you can do it by yourself?

[@pestandlawnginja]

Morning! Great questions. The reel itself has a "lifetime" of three years. What that means is the reel needs to be ground down / sharpened by a machine to get rid of the nicks and ruts in the reels. As of now the company has been unclear on how this can or will be accomplished, so I don't have a clear answer. I commonly take my reels to a service center or I send them back to the manufacturer. My opinion, which I don't work for them, is it'll be the same way in the end. The regular maintenance sharpening is called back lapping which you'll do at home running a software sequence at home to run the reel backwards over the bed knife.

[@phillipklaiber3986]

@@pestandlawnginja Three years on the reel cylinders is a very weak lifespan. Back lapping is fine for general maintenance, but grinding and bed knife replacement will still be necessary. What type of bearings and seals are used?

Battery is replaceable. The vision is designed to identify grass borders. Training thr machine on boundaries happens before the cutting process by mapping the areas

[@tinpony9424]

Heya, Ginja! I'm a bit unclear about how it finds edges if there isn't a fence or some "object" above cut level. Will it initially try mowing over your driveway, and have to be set for exclusion zones? Or, to include areas that are a different color, from bare spots...? Well don vid, explained a lot. Gonna watch how this mower progresses!

[@pestandlawnginja]

great question! The best way i can describe it is the machines color coordinate the grass to identify it. so it sees and identifies boundaries. In the past I've tried to program all the mowers to mow past the driveway and they won't do it due to the obstacle recognition. they always stop short because they receive an alert its not grass and stays in the boundary. Other than that, during the setup process you're telling them where the boundaries are, so everything outside that zone is essentially set as a no go zone. As far as bare spots goes...... it does mess with a lot of mowers.

[@Bob_Adkins]

It appears to work just like robot vacuums, which are very accurate and reliable at avoiding obstacles and no-go zones.

@@pestandlawnginja Thank you! Didn’t know that, I always assumed we need to pick it up. How long does it take to the small clippings to “disappear” into the soil before it will stick to our foot if we walk on the grass?

[@thegardenerstouchinc9970]

Did you try to hang the edge over the top of the curb? Or is that too tight of a tolerance? I'm bummed about no night cutting, I must admit. For my .02 they should make it cut lower and forget the 2"and higher. Reel cut people are accustomed to paying more for this type of cut. You can't be all things to all people. I'm anxious for the release to the masses.

[@pestandlawnginja]

with every update it gets soo close. this last update is was 2" to 4" off the curb and on the edge cutting it was hovering my concrete border and getting it all.

Reelly?

How does it handle crossing driveways to mow another side of the yard? I’ve always wondered how these robot mowers handle vanity strips too. No one ever shows them crossing a sidewalk and mowing narrow vanity stripes next to the road.

[@pestandlawnginja]

Great question. crossing driveways is not an issue. When your mapping you'll create a pathway. these pathways need to be 3ft or more on average. I have one pathway with one of the machines i'm using that is almost 60ft long. Love the feedback. I am currently growing a section of grass across my driveway so i'll be able to show the process as you're requesting.

@@pestandlawnginja I’m loving the robot review series you’ve been doing. At some point, it’d be really great to see you rate all the best robot mowers and give some recommendations. Maybe score important aspects like cut quality, mapping and navigation, battery life, overall quality, warranty, etc. Then give a few recommendations based on category? I’m really intrigued by robot mowers. I only have a 2000 sq foot front lawn now that I’ve built a pool in the backyard, but with two babies, I’d love to minimize yard maintenance but still have a really nice lawn. Currently cutting hybrid bermuda with a driveway and sidewalks to navigate, tree rings, and narrow side yard.

@@MidnightRunISF its on the list for sure!

Im curious as to whats gonna stop someone from stealing this. "Sirens" are great but i wouldnt feel at ease until it has some gps and data.. Why not also use it to mow. We have porch pirates ..this things even easier to just grap.

[@pestandlawnginja]

same tech as in cell phones. devices are rendered useless. back in the day theft of cell phones world wide was high. these days its much lower because people understand they can't use it and it'll be tracked back to them.

2nd generation? Does this mean there's a 2nd one coming out as well?

[@pestandlawnginja]

They're constantly making it better before they ship the first batch.

I wonder if it could cut my Emerald Zoysia? it's kind of a tough grass.

[@pestandlawnginja]

So far I've cut blue and rye. It'll cut zoysia fine in my opinion. The machine is about 45lbs

[@MrMadeinthe80s]

Needs a striping kit too!

[@pestandlawnginja]

💯

[@SirWilliamClark]

@@pestandlawnginjahas a rear roller now it seems

[@pestandlawnginja]

@@SirWilliamClark yes. I haven't played with it yet

[@imbonnie-hl3xk]

i want a lower cut…like as low as a putting green.

[@pestandlawnginja]

lower would be cool, they'd need a 7 reel in my opinion to go any lower. so maybe in the future they'd do it. be pretty cool to swap the reels out whenever

[@TEverlith]

Try a cross hatch pattern

[@pestandlawnginja]

It's the best
