ANTHBOT Robot Lawn Mower with Max 180m Stable Boundary Wire - Recommended 550㎡, Max 900㎡, 300% Higher Efficiency of Grid-Shaped Mowing Path, Automatic Robotic Lawn Mower with Auto Mapping & Recharge

I purchased the ANTHBOT robotic lawn mower to ease the difficulty in cutting of my backyard. Because my backyard is steep with a 22 degree angle, I always found it teddious to cut the lawn while keeping my balance. I received the robot in a very timely manner and found it to be packaged very well. All parts were present and included ample number of plastic ground pegs to hold the boundary wire in place along with a significant amount of wire to cover the entire perimeter of my yard. I liked the design of the robot, especially the extra large rear wheels that were studded to enhance traction. Setting up the robot was extremely easy, especially using the app, which made the setup procedure go very smoothly. The quick start-up guide along with the instruction booklet were well written and easy to understand. Charging the robot went quickly and overall, I had everything in place and ready to go within a few hours. Unfortunately, I ran into problems getting the robot to operate in a consistent manner due to the steepness of my yard. Running horizontally was not an issue. Problems existed when the robot attempted to turn either uphill or downhill. Going uphill, the robot would slip and lose traction mostly due to the loose soil that contains a lot of sand. Going downhill, the robot would again slide and become unable to negotiate the turn and stay on course. Another issue that contributed to the poor traction is the fact that I live on top of a mountain where there is a lot of moisture in the air, so the grass is usually somewhat damp, which allowed for more slippage and additional loss of traction. I cannot blame any of these problems or concerns on the ANTHBOT robot as the result of poor construction or a design flaw since any robot currently available in the marketplace would probably experience similar difficulties and fail in a similar manner. I spoke with the companies customer service department and they provided several helpful suggestions, none of which improved the situation. The robot would work exceptionally well when running horizontally across my yard. It only experienced problems when attempting to make turns up or down the angled yard. It should be noted that I had a great experience with customer service and they were very helpful in trying to come up with ideas that might eliminate some of the problems I was experiencing. When all else failed, they indicated that I could return the robot, no questions asked, and receive a full refund, which is what I did. Overall, I feel that the ANTHBOT lawn mower would be a wonderful option to consider for cutting ones lawn under normal circumstances.

Another update as of 4/10/25. I now have the second mower up and running and my entire yard is getting cut. The yard looks nice after doing the cross cut. It took some time but with the excellent customer support from Rachel I believe this product is going to work great for me. All that will be needed from me is some light trimming. Also with the scheduling that I set up it is pretty much automatic. I would like to update this review as of 1/7/25. Customer Support has bent over backwards to help me with my issues. They have sent me a second mower to help me with the issues I have run into. Very accommodating. This mower is very slow and the guide wire given only covers the 10,000 square feet it states it covers if your area being mowed is a square or rectangle. If you have front and back yard and landscaping to go around it doesn’t cover nearly that much. My yard covers roughly 5,000 sq ft and I did not have enough wire. The mapping of the yard was just under 4900 square feet and it takes 10 hours to do one cut. If you select a cross cut it would take 20 hours to finish the job. The mower has to map your yard before every cut and takes 15% of the charge to do so and it doesn’t cut the yard while it maps. The instructions are very poor and does not tell you any of this information and does not give you any hints about laying the guide wire, such as not trying to cover every little knook and grany. If you have a small yard and it is square/rectangle the mower does an okay job and doesn’t miss much grass when cutting. If it is odd shape and medium to large in size, I would not recommend this mower.

Update: Mower keeps stopping due to random codes. Customer support takes forever to reply. I update my feedback to 1 start. The mower is now useless less than 1 year later. Way more efficient than the MowerMR M1 (looks exactly identical to this mower) lawn mower. I recommend this mower. I adjust on the app parallel mowing which worked better for my yard. Wheels aren't as aggressive as the MowerMR M1 as well. Thud the bot did not tear up the grass. The mower wire covered about 1,000 Sq foot. If you are able to get a second charge station with boundary wire then you could cover your back yard as well if they are separated by a privacy fence. Lastly, the bot takes 2 charges to cut the front yard 1,000 Sq ft over 5 hours.

After some initial issues with a defective part, we have our new automated lawn mower up and running. It is wonderful! Nothing more relaxing that being able to do the stuff we enjoy doing like working in our gardens, than cutting the lawn. The mower is solid and very quiet; you will hear your neighbor's edge trimmer above this lawnmower. We experimented with various modes; the cross pattern and others, all work as advertised. We also noticed that even in the areas of our yard where we have some uneven terrain the mower mows great. As far as the setup, laying down the wireline is easy, so in terms of pricing this wired model is so much better priced than those that do not require wires. For us laying down the wire is well worth it considering the price difference. The app we loaded on our phones is easy to use and informative, it provides a visual representation of the grid area and the progress while the mower is mowing. We also like the tall grass mode! Lastly, as with all these new companies, customer service is always something to consider. As we stated at the start, we had an issue with a part and the customer service at ANTHBOT was outstanding, quick and caring response, quick resolution. Thanks Anthbot.
