most days. I use the multiple zones function to allocate time between front and back. I used pet fence wire to extend the wire that came with it for my bigger lawn and it works great. It goes all the way around my front yard every time it goes to charge. I have the base under my deck. The rain sensor seems accurate enough for me, it does cut when it is lightly raining but heavy rain will send it back. Saves a lot of time mowing :)

wish I never purchased this item because you are at the mercy of their installers and the installers in my area don't know how to install this product. It hasn't worked once - not once. The original installer said he was coming to fix it and didn't. I had to call the company and they sent someone else. He admitted he isn't properly trained so I purchased an expensive machine with a warranty and can't get anyone to help me. I have spent nearly a year trying to get the company to stand behind it's product and/or refund me and even though they have admitted it's an installer issue, they pass me from person to person and I have not gotten a remedy. I couldn't be more disappointed in the integrity of this company and would caution anyone from purchasing this product. I wish I could weigh in on how the mower works, but since it hasn't mowed my yard once, I'd say it's a fail. I will keep going up the ladder and exhaust all avenues to ensure others are warned and that this situation is remedied.

up is annoying and programming zones takes forever due to how inaccurate the wireless system is. Wish we did more research before buying because it seems like a common problem with this mower and the free app with people saying the dealers have different options when programing making it easier and more accurate not sure if that’s true or not

and it sucks at being that. Needs to be babysat more than a new born baby. If you leave it on its own, it's utter chaos! It bumps into an object, moves back half a cm then tries to ram the object that it had got stuck on and ends up tearing up grass and digging holes. If only it had a forward looking sensor. Oh wait, it does! Unfortunately this system (called "ACS") is more useless than the mower. It fails to see anything in front of it and will drive straight up onto your foot if you let it. It's marketed as being able to see and dodge children and animals! Stevie Wonder sees better than this nearly $300 add on. Overall a very disappointing experience with this thing

from Ecovacs has been terrible. The first problem, it was making a very loud knocking noise and stopping. Had to take the whole unit into the retailer and they had it for 5 weeks. The retailer rang for us to pick it up and we had to connect it to wifi and remap the whole yard (quite time consuming and clunky). After getting all that done, plugged it in and charged it, whole LCD screen didn’t work for us to check that the original problem had been fixed. We also had no communication saying what had actually gone wrong with it or what they had fixed. Then had to pack it up again and take it in to the retailer for a second time and again, I have had no communication from them for 5 weeks now. I’m wondering if they are keeping it until it has run out of warranty. At the moment, I have 3 Ecovacs robots but I will never buy one again

have to make some fairly standard mods to improve the performance (6 blade discs, removing the blade guards which just filled up with grass).
However it started having trouble charging – the charging contacts rely on spring pressure on very small contact points with no wiping action, and with wear and dirt the charging was a bit hit and miss, but as long as it did charge it worked ok.
Now it seems the battery is degraded, and it runs out of charge before getting back to the dock – I presume the BMS is not taking the degradation into account and the 15% reserve it thinks is in the battery when deciding to return is actually much less.
I've been in contact with Mammotion and asked to buy a new battery – they refused to sell me one, instead want me to send it to a repair agent, but have said it's out of warranty, and said (initially) it will be at my expense, and that they can't provide an estimate of the cost.
Update: after some discussion with Mammotion service they agreed that the repair would be done under warranty at no cost to me. Right now it's apparently been repaired - they say it wasn't the battery at fault - and is on its way back to me. So they have gone up in my estimation and I've adjusted the rating accordingly.
I will add that packing it up to send back is a bit of a process - I'd recommend keeping the original packaging just in case.

on top of tough Sir Walter/Buffalo grass, and getting a normal mower or whipper snipper under there to manage the weeds was a nightmare. I wanted a "set and forget" solution, and after my first week with it, it has completely exceeded my expectations.
Build Quality & Unboxing Right out of the box, the robot feels premium. The packaging was neat, sustainable, and protected the unit perfectly. I was especially impressed by the charging dock and garage canopy, the assembly is completely tool-free with large, high-quality screws you just tighten by hand. They also threw in a set of spare blades, which shows great attention to detail. Unboxing video: [Content Removed] and initial quality comments video:[Content Removed] Setup & Mapping This is a wire-free mower relying on AI cameras, meaning no digging up your yard for perimeter wires. The setup through the app is great (it even supports 5GHz Wi-Fi), but a quick warning: the moment you try to do your first run, it forces a firmware update. It took me about 20–30 minutes, so factor that in. The initial mapping run took about 20 minutes for my 90-100 sqm yard. It easily recognized the boundaries, even where the grass meets the gravel. Robot app and initial mapping run video:[Content Removed]
Real-World Performance To really test it, I scheduled it to run every day at 10:00 AM while I was away from home for a week. I came back to an incredibly uniform, perfectly cut lawn. It successfully navigated the heavy shade and legs of my trampoline every single day. It’s also incredibly quiet, you barely hear it running in the background. It takes about 1 hour to mow my 100 sqm yard, and it returns to the base with around 55% battery left. This means you could comfortably get around 200 sqm out of a single charge before it needs to auto-dock and recharge. Because it trims daily, you don't end up with piles of grass clippings; they are so tiny they just disintegrate and act as fertilizer. During the week I was away, it only got stuck once in a backyard drain. However, the app has a live camera and remote control feature, so I was literally able to reverse the mower out of the drain remotely from my phone and let it continue its job. Robot review after a first week of use:[Content Removed] Pros: Truly wire-free (AI camera mapping works great) Fantastic build quality with tool-free dock assembly App is feature-rich (live camera, anti-theft, rain detection) Easily navigates tricky obstacles (trampolines) Extremely quiet operation. Unlike other smart devices, this robot will connect to your 5GHz Wi-Fi
Cons: May not recognise and avoid animal poo. Not really a cons. Like all robots, you still need to pre-mow thick, overgrown grass manually before its first run.
Verdict: If you can afford the initial outlay and want a genuinely hands-off appliance to supplement your lifestyle, I highly recommend it. It completely eliminated my need to mow the backyard.

mowing and over 1500km. It is mowing around 5000m2 with ease. This is probably the best mower I've ever owned because it is totally automated. Grass always looks neatly mowed and I have it set to mow in lines. No issues other than losing a couple of blades when it hit an irrigation box. Also, lost satellite contact a couple of times but mower automatically reconnected and continued as usual. I would highly recommend this product. Absolute time saver for me.

promptly resolved by their support people. Support is exceptional, I have never in my almost 60 years of my life come across such good support. Seriously it is exceptional.
I recently replaced a drive wheel motor, they sent the new motor within a week after diagnosing the problem from a video I sent them, by following video instructions they sent.... It all worked perfectly, the attached video is after I replaced the motor.

MAMMOTION Australia for $1,449, expecting a reliable autonomous robotic lawn mower that would save me time and effort. Unfortunately, it has turned out to be one of the most disappointing purchases I have ever made.
From the beginning, this machine has been plagued by persistent operational problems.
It repeatedly gets stuck on relatively level lawn surfaces, often with absolutely no visible obstruction. At other times, it simply stops in the middle of its designated mowing area for no apparent reason. Even more frustratingly, it regularly travels beyond its carefully configured mowing boundaries and subsequently becomes immobilised.
The mower also frequently struggles to return to its charging station.
I have spent countless hours adjusting boundaries, establishing no-go zones, repositioning equipment, performing factory resets and following MAMMOTION’s troubleshooting instructions. Their support team even recommended inspecting and cleaning the front wheel assemblies using WD-40. I followed their recommendations, but the problems persist.
Almost every single time I operate this mower, I have to physically retrieve it, reposition it or restart it.
Think about that for a moment. I spent nearly $1,500 on an autonomous lawn mower, yet I effectively have to supervise it every time it operates. It has created more work for me rather than saving time.
What makes the experience even more frustrating is MAMMOTION’s response.
Despite providing extensive photographic and video evidence of the recurring faults, their customer support team has continued to focus on troubleshooting rather than offering a meaningful resolution. When I requested a refund or replacement, I was informed that my purchase was outside their standard return period and that further technical assessment would be required.
This is not a change-of-mind return. I am complaining about a product that, in my experience, has consistently failed to perform its fundamental advertised function.
I have even had passers-by stop outside my house while the mower was operating to ask whether I would recommend buying one. My response has been an emphatic NO. I would genuinely hate for someone else to spend this amount of money and experience the same frustration.
I am not someone who ordinarily takes the time to write such a negative review, but the combination of the product’s unreliability, the time wasted attempting to rectify its faults, and the lack of a satisfactory resolution has left me extremely dissatisfied.
My verdict: An expensive, unreliable machine that has completely defeated the purpose of autonomous lawn maintenance. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend the MAMMOTION YUKA Mini 600.
I will update this review if MAMMOTION provides an appropriate resolution. Until then, I strongly encourage prospective buyers to carefully consider my experience before investing in this product.

lawnmower to connect to the app. The lawnmower doesn’t seem to charge when left at the charging station. It can be at the charging station for days without running and then when you manually try to start it, it tells you it has to charge. This is a truly hopeless product. Not a time saver at all. I would like this thing just run automatically every day, but by the time you’ve fiddled around with it to try to get it to start it’s a less than weekly exercise. I just don’t have the kind of time that it takes to use this kind of shoddy product. Buyer beware.

perfectly, flat, regular shaped and fine lawn application but I have serious doubts on even that. It can rarely complete a cycle without human intervention where it: * fails to initiate according to program. * routinely over runs the boundary wire and gets stuck. * leaves an unmowed edge that you need to get your line trimmer and conventional mower out to cut. * gets stuck on the slightest surface irregularity. * fails to align itself accurately on return to the docking station and does not charge. * the lcd touch screen barely works from new. * service agents have no idea about them.
The product was a late entry to market and appears to be a catch up prototype machine, not ready for general release.
Don’t waste your time or money.
