In this video, we dive into the massive news that the FCC has officially banned new foreign-made robot lawn mowers and what that means for the entire industry. If you recently backed a robotic mower on Kickstarter, you need to watch this—these companies are now facing major compliance hurdles and indefinite delays. If you are waiting on a unit, I highly recommend reaching out to Kickstarter or the manufacturer directly to get real answers about your estimated ship times and their U.S. authorization status.
I also get into the nitty-gritty of mower blades. We compare traditional, heavy-duty lawn mower blades to the small razor blades used on many autonomous mowers. Plus, I show you exactly why my Lymow mowers consistently get plugged up with grass and the real-world issues you have to deal with when running them. Finally, we wrap up with a broad look at the current state of the robot lawn mower industry and where it is heading next.
