BLADE also has early bird prices with a 10% discount for limited stock, starting from April 26th. EcoFlow Website: bit.ly/3KGGSDB EcoFlow Amazon: amzn.to/3L22k7C
The Omni wheels on EcoFlow's new BLADE Robot lawn mower are pretty futuristic looking. But how well does the EcoFlow BLADE hold up to a real lawn? Well today we try out the robot lawn mower at my parents place. Since the grass at my parents yard has not been mowed yet this season - its a good test to see what kind of turf the EcoFlow BLADE can handle.

I love seeing two different styles that people will have with this. Zach's planning things out, possibly reading the instructions, remaining calm. Linus's just tossing it out, skimming instructions, trying to trick it and find work around, and just all-around chaos. Which will probably be the real world style. Lol
More like Litmus test tips
With Linus its always something that’s goes wrong 😂😂
I like them both but i think everybody doing interview should plan things out cause that gives a realistic image about the mower. Messing around can give werid reputation to the product.
@@dkdanis1340 although I can see where you're coming from, sometimes it can be nice to see how easy a product can be to use without following the manual - after all, people tend to ignore them.
I really hope this doesn't become like the Dyson ad they did a couple of years ago. Where every youtuber apparently got one and made a review.
I knew 6 inches was far above average! Thanks Jerry! :)😂
@Josh Opray someone beat me to what?
@Josh Opray thanks for moderating that.
…and 4 inches is pretty long. 1:12
@Josh Opray this one is top comment so who cares

He really dig a hole just to show us the blades working. What a man!
0:20 to be fair Husqvarna automower launched boundaryless robot mowing in 2019. It's called Husqvarna EPOS.
I switched to robot vacuums years ago and haven't looked back. Changed the whole game. Been waiting patiently for an affordable and effective solution for the yard for a while. For almost $3,000 it looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer.
I mean, I hear you, 3k is not an "affordable" solution, but 3k is basically going to buy you any riding mower, so if you're picking between a riding mower and a robot mower, the robot mower actually has less effort involved.
Obviously a push mower is still the king of value but I don't think we'll see robot mowers come close to that price range anytime soon.
@@eric_vde I don't have a big enough lawn to justify a riding lawnmower so I'm very much in the push mower price bracket. 😀
@@sys-administrator I've had good success with the Roborock s7+ for vacuuming and mopping. It's convenient and was able to get it on a cyber monday deal for $400 off.
@@sys-administrator I love my Roborock. Got it to replace a "dumb" robot vacuum a few years ago. Works like a dream. It will even do multiple passes in different directions so once left and right, once up and down, and then once diagonally if I choose. Has laser guidance and all this. Haven't had to vacuum anything in this house aside from the stairs in years.
@@hazard_209 I've been really happy with the brand as well. If I ever upgrade or this one dies I'll definitely purchase from them again. Coming from an older Eufy dumb model that just sort of bounced around the house, and admittedly worked pretty good if you ran it daily, having one that actually knows where it is and vacuums in straight lines was a game changer.
2600$ (early bird, normally 2900$) - standard version
3200$ - with sweeper option
your service is much appreciated
woof.
Why would an empty box cost hundreds of dollars
@@lIlIllIlIllIlllIllIIIIIIIIIlII It's a first generation product, so you're both paying the early adopter fee and the cost of designing/engineering the product.
Id rather pay a mexican
I know it was a flub but a 300kWh mower would be AMAZING 🤩
Upgrade your Tesla 🤣
I might buy 2
Remove the k
@@robertlach2936 that would negate the joke my guy
Charge your EV from the mower!
We have Worx Landroid for about 3-years now with great success. It uses a boundary wire and mows daily a random pattern. So no clippings but also no bagger. The razor blades just take a sharpening stone every 40 hours and yearly dremel sharpening. Though this one does cut in a nice pattern at almost $3,000 the Landoid is 1/5th the price.
Watching zack's more methodological approach on this mower after watching Linus' chaotic video is a nice contrast lol
Linus lives as being chaotic, he should step away from the camera and show more of the talent, because he just has a face you want to punch. LOL
@@michaeljarcher tf
@@michaeljarcher wtf did Linus ever do to you aside selling pricey ok quality products
Great job on the video Zack! Thanks for making it. Having your yard tools powered by solar is an incredibly gratifying experience.
1:09 I agree. 4 Inches is quite big!
I agree you should be able to change the mowing direction... and include diagnals. You should also be able to select it to cycle through or just do the pattern you want.
should be able to set whatever pattern you want as long as the mower can do it.
@@jeff119990 But can you. As far as I know it picks the pattern not you and it likely does not change the pattern unless you change its mowing area. If the app did let you pick a pattern or automatically rotate through patterns that would be nice, but I have yet to see any reviews that show it has this feature.
Robot lawn mowers have been super popular here in Sweden for the past few years, as much as a decade even, and the good ones work really well.
Usa is behind in all areas, living in their bubble
Yeah here in Austria too! When I read the title I was like What? That‘s ancient technology
We Americans just do it ourselves, maybe in a few years it will be mainstream. Dumb question, do they ever jump the curb? Or go into gardens etc? I have a robot vacuum, on my second one. Its way better at following a smart route and cleaning. The first roomba went all over, not very calculated, would attempt suicide by stair case. Even with barriers. New one is not a jumper😂. Do they map fairly well? What’s the range like, and or duration. Is a fleet of them the way to go?
@charleskavoukjian3441
Yep. I'm the first one in the entire neighborhood to get one. After mowing last summer in 98 degree heat I decided I was DONE!
In Norway too, baught my first in 2011, and a new one in 2018, the first one i paid 1000$ and this last one i only paid like 600$. Mine cut for 3 hours 3 days a week. Gras getting greener. But mine use cabel around my yard not gps or lidar.
This is awesome for someone who uses a wheelchair or cannot mobility wise use a mower. I love how this is set up. I have checked into other types of mowers like this but they cost a ton and often times get stuck or have other issues. I'm def going to check into this myself as I have a large hard around the house. I wonder how it would do on uneven ground, since in the video the ground was fairly level and flat. How would it do in rougher terrain?
1:12 thank you for uplifting us
Props for digging a hole just to get a shot of the mower running from the bottom.
Four inches is pretty long
~Jerry 2023
Six inches is above average
Jerry 2023
@Josh Opray hahaha🤣
This is not the first mower that doesn’t need a boundary wire. Husqvarna has had one for a bit now and it’s incredible. This isn’t even the first robot mower to mulch that would be the Robomow. However it is to my knowledge the first with leaf collection. Wow it seems quite loud compared to the husqvarna. Been trying to get them to send me a review unit as I want to compare it to my husqvarna
I’ll stick to the 30 minute push mower but cool idea definitely along way from perfect but exciting to see what the future holds!
At 2:24, 300kwh battery!?!!! Holy moly 😊
The problem I see with this is, at that price point you could hire a landscaper for YEARS and get additional services and no maintenance you have to worry about. 30-40$ a cut plus cleanups and trimming and seeding etc. I can't see spending 3000$ on something that you then have to go out and trim the edges. Still have to maintain it and it's blades.
Cheap workers near you, $3000 would cover 1-2 summers here. Just mowing a small lawn is $200+ here in Sweden. Though we have had robot mowers since 1995 so its not new tech for us.
But some of us don't like people and think stuff like this is cool enough to buy.
$35/cut x 35 cuts/year (assuming you live in a place with winter, so you don't need cuts one season of the year) = 2.37 years to pay for itself. Even paying for replacement blades on a yearly basis, that's about 2 ½ years.
@@bajroevahahahaha Damn!!!!! I need to marry me a good Swedish girl and start mowing lawns!
It'd be really nice to have one. Yard has some decent grade so that would be my only concern.
Would much rather have one do the yard while I'm at work than have to spend time during weekend mowing. Would depend on charge time between mows, have a larger yard so presumably more than 2 charges needed.
I wonder what the efficiency is compared to Ryobi battery lawn mowers. I have a 20" brushless and it takes about 1kWh of electric (battery rating, charging these is somewhat inefficient) for me to mow 2 acres.
"6 inches is FAR above average btw". You seem very keen on making that point crystal clear 😂
those front tires drive me crazy
I'm going to go ahead and say I'll wait another 5-8 years for the kinks to be worked out just like my robot vacuum, haha.
Still haven't bought one those. I'd have to have 2 because it can't go up stairs.
And by then maybe it won't cost more than a decent used car. $3000 is insane.
@@risk_it_4_the_biscuit most modern LiDar vacuums actually let you set two or more floor plans so you can just pick it up and move it upstairs for a run.
@@weston3303 They are crazy fast to map now too even compared to a few years ago. We are wanting to upgrade to one of the newer self cleaning/drying type stations with a mop from our S9+ combo. That would eliminate our second vacuum and get a better clean.
Dude robot mowers have been on the market since 1995, they were figured out 15+ years ago already.
Fun video but… at $3,000 I’d expect way more out of it 😂
More than a couple of blades and a couple of motors, and a few cameras? Oh yeah, I see what you mean :D
Yeah $3000 convert to zar is R58000. Can get a garden service twice a month for 5 years for that amount. 😂😂
Like a laser that pops out of the ground and spins around really fast cutting the grass like the security hallway in resident evil.
@@GilesWendes Security bot!! 😳😳
@@quintenlowe4913so after 5 years it starts paying for its self
Call me jelly, because that thing is amazing!
There are so many ways this could be improved. I appreciate the design, and I can see why they have gone with the omniwheel setup - but its more of a cost cut than it is simplifying anything and it will be the biggest problem with this being a truly 'automated' lawnmower. Those wheels will continually get jammed up and you'll come home to find it stuck in the middle of the lawn because of it.
One 'simple' way I can think of in terms of making this more automated/less prone to needing human intervention is to add a rubber brush system much like in the catcher but on the front, that pushes sticks out of the way and to the sides. It wouldn't be costly to add and would improve chances of it not needing maintanence or getting stuck.
So it basically makes your lawn look like a five-year-old cut it….😂
Eco Flow shouldnt sponsor so many creators at the same time xD
I've already seen several youtubers do the same video xD
Tec is now at another level
Seems like youre going to review every EcoFlow product and im here for it!
They're getting closer but still a long way from matching the value and efficiency of a robot home vacuum or robot pool vacuum (both of which I own and love). I expect sometime in the next 10-15 years I'll be buying a $1000ish robot mower that can mow and edge. I mean, how hard would it be to add a little string line trimmer to the front edge similar to the edge brush on a home vacuum? This GPS learning system to eliminate the need to bury a guide wire is a huge step in the right direction. Just a couple years ago the best robot mowers were basically as dumb as a first gen Roomba that just bounced around inside a guide wire pen at random hoping to eventually hit the whole lawn. Now they're using GPS, laser and camera guidance along with an algorithm to figure out the best way to mow the lawn in straight lines.
10-15 years... not even close, think more like 2-3
I love linus (and zack) and linus' video was alright and all, but I find it interesting how his video on this was just chaotic and kinda didn't make the product look super amazing then zack did a structured yet still realistic review on it. and linus is the one with over 100 people working for him and a whole crew so fair play to zack
I've demo'ed and tested just about every robotic mower out there, they still have a LONG way to go yet, they still miss so much and leave the yard looking like a 5 year old cut it, lol.
Once they release a Time Master size- maybe I'll consider. Need my stripes and they need to be straight. I wouldn't be opposed to it mowing in the most optimized pattern first, then going back to make stripes after the mowing is done.
Curious to see how the Omni wheels and the mower in general would handle the thick st Augustine grass we have here in Houston and the rest of the gulf coast. Looks like that yard is thin rye or Bermuda grass.
Something you weren’t able to test is the grade limits for the mower. I wonder if it has issues with a lawn that is steeper and has a lot more dips and bumps. Considering it had issues with this lawn and it’s basically an ideal cutting scenario for a robot lawn mower, I’d say those things have a long way to go still… especially with that price tag
The shot from the hole, was great!
Cant wait to get my hands on one, and use it for parts to create a robot, to destroy other robots 😂
If I had this robot mower l would use it as a one in a kind rc car and do some killer off roading 😂 What a nice rc 🚗
Sounds like the start of a horror movie.
Maximum Mowerdrive!
Looks cool to watch, but for now I think I would rather use a battery-operated push lawnmower. ⚡😄
I agree, 4 inches are a lot
your style of showing this thing is way more interesting thant Linus Video, good job
4:34 8 inches is 200 mm, not 400mm.
300kwh? Damn I guess it can power my home then xD
Seems like a killer deal and a breakthrough in battery tech!
I thought I heard that wrong. Thats 5x my Tesla model 3 lol. Maybe it's 3kwh?
The fact it comes with cameras and can see is good. We have a huge problem in my country of people running their lawnmower robots at night killing poor hedgehogs.
Another one great work ty, i was watching my neighbor walk behind one (robot mower) just the other day .
This is very cool and I've been watching this segment for some time. Where I wouldn't buy the first attempt by a company at making an outdoor robot, I still hope they do well. Specifically when I see my elderly (still care about grass lawn much? lol) neighbors struggle to mow twice a week.
However, with a nearly $3000 price tag, it will still need to come down substantially. Roombas are about $200, and I'm not seeing the value in waterproofing and screwing a few razor blades on to justify the price. It's kind of like Tesla FSD...cool, but about 10x more expensive than I'm willing to pay to upkeep a yard in the first place.
For reference, we went yesterday and spent $120 on LARGE cobble, and got nearly a ton. It covered an area about 5'x8'. For the price of this mower, we could just nuke the yard and be done with it, no more watering or mowing. Ideally, I'd like something like this to mow the couple little patches of grass we can keep alive without watering.
You can get Husqvarna's cheapest robot lawn mower for about $700. They've made them for years now, and have several decades building traditional lawn mowers before that.
Remember how much roombas were at first?
I knew these wheels were going to get clogged, I guess it happened a lot faster than I thought.
So much better than hard plastic wheels on our Worx.
I'm running a dual bank Kobalt self-propelled. 2 6AH 80v batteries. (600USD). It's weird hearing an I.C.E. car guy to state this but, I will never own another gas mower. I'm beyond spoiled with this thing. Even if you cannot afford a robotic electric mower, I'd definitely look into a battery powered mower. They are not weak by any means.
Now this is the proper way you do it LINUS.
Cool mower! seems a bit weak tho... also 8" is more like 204mm not 400mm XD Good work as always!
Depends on your ma's yard I guess.
I seen a robot one at Lowes a couple of years ago and wondered that same thing! With states starting the transition from gas to electric and these costing big bucks, they better start handing them out. 😭
You can get electric push mowers for much cheaper.
Was sweating the entire vid happy that you’re alive! Everybody knows the importance of moms flowers 💐
Never thought I would be following a guy's personalized commercials but here I am
$2900, ha. I have an autonomous lawn mower called a Son.
2:20, I'm skeptical of the 300kWhr claim, for perspective the Hummer EV has 212kWhr
at the edge of the frame he has corrected himself saying 300 Whr
Yes jerry 4 inches are huge
This reminds me to much of Dyson vacuum cleaner campaign a few years back. Within a few days every single Tech-youtuber was showing off their new vacuum cleaner. I assume for both Dyson and this lawn-mower the money was crazy good, and I don't mind.People gonna complain in the comments of the money grab, but honestly, if me watching this lawnmower video means they pay enough money to fund the channel for the next 3 months, then I'm down. I'll watch it 3 times just to make sure it gets good stats!
What is your mom going to think about digging a hole in her yard to show off the blades? 😂
🤫
@Josh Opray if you scroll through the giveaway videos you can see who the winners are by who I responded to publicly.
I like to imagine Jerry is real, but I wouldnt wanna live in a world where I have to live with the consequences of Jerry being real
I swear you comment on every single video I watch.
We are in the robot age. I've been using roombas for a couple years now. They're excellent. I purchased one of those window cleaning bots this year, and it's amazing. If I had a lawn, I'd go all in on the bots, but I live on a mountain so I am using goats. I saw a crew using robots to mow the divider of the 101. We're gonna see a lot of cool bots in the near future.
for some reasom im just seeing these in the future and I gotta say I love the idea of a accessible mower first vaccums now this
Umm.. You start by saying this is the worlds first boundry-less robotic mower? You should probably fact check your sponsor talking points Zach.. GPS based robotic mowers have been a thing since the mid 90s..
For commerical use or household use?
Not really buddy. They were not GPS based at all. It was using a buried perimeter cable for navigation. It's nothing like today's invention that doesn't require buried cables for navigation. GPS based came around 2003. You should probably do more research before telling someone to fact check bud.

The grass pov went crazy
I agree...4 inches is pretty long
I need one that can do a very steep hill. I also need to invent a zip line i think to get supplies from the bottom my back isn't what it used to be. The mk-19 is a heavy beast and it broke me. Now im medically retired and trying to maintain the property is a nightmare 😅
"I'm sure it has a plan"
Something we only used to hear in movies about futuristic robots.
1:10
Thankyou sir. I knew it and now the world knows it.
Looks like a good device for a flat lawn like your mothers, would like a revisit to this after a summer then a few years later.
Mow the grass using a hand driven lawn mower and it is a very good exercise!
Wow they're getting quite advanced.
Oh YES I hope so!
I like mowing my lawn. And it gets the steps in for the day. No way I'm letting my pride and joy get trampled on by a robot ;)
I'm all for robots taking over these kinds of jobs, improving our efficiency and enjoyment of life is kind of the point of technology as a whole.
Was waiting for a tear down!!
i liked your review of it alot better than linus's. yours is much more "to the point". thank you, Jerry.
I just bought a greenworks 80V lawnmower. I wish I could have gotten one of the robots instead, but it sounds like you probably need both. I would recommend the 80v greenworks. It is almost as powerful as the gas mower it replaced, and it is much easier to use, quieter and just does not feel like a relic from the 1950's. I get about 45 minutes per charge, and that is enough work for me. However when I was younger I definitely would have wanted another battery for it.
I love my Greenworks 80v push mower. It's legit. This thing is dookie
Awesome job Jerry
Very informative video! But I actually enjoy mowing the yard. Along with trimming and edging. I use battery charged units hooked up to a solar panel to charge the batteries. But I don't think I can justify the expense of an auto robot.
What is your charging setup like? I have battery mower, string trimmer, chain saw, backpack blower and it would be nice to charge these from solar.
That is awesome!
Checking couch cushions now for spare change... ;)
The front wheels🤯
Looking forward to them selling in Australia.
I've been looking for one of these that bags the grass!
I give that super over complicated front wheel setup 2 months at best before you get tired of cleaning it out. Love the rest of it tho, but wish they could have gone for simplicity over looks as it is way cheaper and last way longer. But time will tell. Great job showing us this this.
I wish I had this kind of confidence. To be so wrong and so blindly ignorant must be so nice. I love that guy.
The front Wheels are from the Whill wheelchair FYI
Great video, what about to compare it with Luba 5000 AWD?
1:12 thank you Jerry, that’s what I’ve been telling my girlfriend 🙏🏽🙏🏽
It’s not the first boundless auto mower in the world. I’m a installer for Husqvarna and they started selling there boundary less auto mower over 2 years ago. Iv installed 6 myself and sold many to customers who wanted to install it all themselves.
1:13 very true
I would love to watch your videos in HDR. Thank you sir, for making this kind of amazing videos.
Could you do an update on the Robot Lown Mower. I would like to see how its been holding up before I think about purchasing.
But here's the thing - what happens when the robot lawn mower goes rogue? I mean, have you seen those sci-fi movies where the robots turn on their owners? I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night to find a robot lawn mower chasing me down the street. And what if it malfunctions and starts chopping up the neighbor's prized rose bushes? Suddenly, you're looking at a lawsuit and a very angry neighbor.
But if you're willing to take the risk, I guess a robot lawn mower could be pretty handy. Just don't forget to program in an emergency off switch, just in case things start to get too, well, robotic.
@JerryRigEverything - when you're teaching it the perimeter, do you have to be super-precise, or does it use it's various sensors to determine the exact edge to follow?
love robot vacuums just wish they could do stairs =x
Thank you for sharing. I know that Robot Lawn Mower would not have a chance with my grass. We have thick FloraTam carpet grass.
He keeps mentioning his shed in all his latest video's, I want to see the new garden tech project so badly!
Zack you promised!!!
