Lymow One Plus - Happy, but still needs work.
Lymow One Plus arrived about three weeks ago, and I have to say I am pleased with my purchase. Initial positions of RTK aerial & charging base were not clear enough to get low number on satellite levels (trees, side of property) and machine performed badly. Re-sited aerial (to highest point of roof) and base station and now all is working 'almost' perfectly; RTK level generally 0.01-0.02 (apart from during channel transition around side of property). So RTK positioning is 'key' to getting good performance. Occasionally does weird things and needs resetting so I always start the mowing (3 separate zones, about 2000 sq m) rather than set up a schedule so I can 'help' if necessary. The cut and speed of mowing is excellent, much better than robots with 'razor-blade' type blades. Initial contact from support was slow (about 5 days) but once established conversation was fairly prompt. Support provided comprehensive suggestions to help my initial issues however the re-siting of aerial & base solved them all. Would not recommend if there is a lot of 'cover' as satellite connection can deteriorate quickly. Customer service needs to be improved (after seeing many complaints online about response times), and more software updates to sort out issues that have also been reported (blade motors stopping during run leaving uncut strips in lawn, no-go areas in zones disappearing from maps, map backup process sometimes impossible requiring battery removal and restart). Company needs to establish UK based maintenance/repair specialists in case of warranty issues. So, all in all, the Lymow One Plus is almost excellent, just needs some polish.
