The EcoFlow Blade is a robot lawn mower and lawn sweeper brimming with technology. It has a camera and LIDAR sensor to detect obstacles, centimetre accurate enhanced GPS for defining lawn borders without wires and omnidirectional wheels for precise manoeuvring. It uses AI to plan straight line mowing routes, rather than the typical robot mower zigzag pattern. Together with its electronically height adjusted blades EcoFlow claims it can evenly trim your lawn with no missed patches.
EcoFlow is a company best known for their portable power stations and they offer a battery and solar panel solution to run this whole setup off-grid.
I’ll run through its setup and thoroughly test all its features to see if this is the right solution for you! By the end of the video I really hope you’ll have enough information to make an informed buying decision.
