Is the Sveaverken Blix the best robot mower in its class? Despite its goofy appearance, this Swedish robot lawn mower is a strong contender. Check out the full robot mower review to see if this robot lawn mower is the right fit for your grass.
Find the best deal on a Sveaverken Blix at Midwest Turf Tech: midwestturftech.com/?ta_aff=brandon (yes, I get a small cut of every sale to help keep the lights on)
Sveaverken has been making high-end agricultural equipment for over 100 years, and now they’re bringing some of that tech to the backyard. The Blix uses a LIDAR navigation system (called LAR), which means:
No buried perimeter wire
No RTK satellite antenna
No signal dropouts because of clouds / trees / aliens
It just… works. Always.
This mower maps your yard by driving it like a remote-control car, learns your terrain, avoids obstacles, and can mow day or night with the same accuracy. And with the massive battery + fast recharge, it can mow an entire large lawn in a single day.
I’ve tested a lot of robot mowers — boundary wire mowers, RTK mowers, cheap ones, expensive ones — and this is the first one I didn’t have to babysit. Less tinkering = more not mowing, and I love not mowing.
In this video I show:
Blix vs RTK vs Boundary Wire pros/cons
How to set up zones, no-go areas, and cut height
Obstacle detection + onboard camera examples
Performance on hills, leaves, grass types
The Halloween Grim Reaper Mod 🎃👻 (because of course I did)
If you want a robot mower that just works, the Blix is legit.

SwitchBot Lock Ultra Review – Is It Finally Good? (Facial Recognition Keypad Test)
Last time I tested a SwitchBot lock, it won the prestigious Ugliest Lock award in my 16-lock showdown… by a landslide. So when they sent me their brand new SwitchBot Lock Ultra with the Vision Keypad (yes, facial recognition!), I wasn’t expecting much.
But this one? Kinda surprised me.
In this video, I install and test the new SwitchBot Lock Ultra and Keypad Vision to see how it stacks up against my all-time favorite smart lock—the Lockly Visage. From facial recognition accuracy, design improvements, and smart home compatibility to installation tips and low-light performance, I cover everything you need to know.
🔒 Is it perfect? No.
😮 Is it way better than the last one? Definitely.
💸 Is it worth it at half the price of the Lockly? Watch and decide.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
How the Lock Ultra compares to the Lockly Visage
Whether facial recognition actually works
Why this might be the best retrofit smart lock right now
What you need (and don’t need) from SwitchBot’s hubs
Honest pros and cons (with jokes included, obviously)
