Anker Eufy E15 Robot Mower Review: Automated lawn maintenance!

It’s a legitimate cool factor for the E15 Robot Lawn Mower from Anker Sub-Brand Eufy. I am envy to my neighbors, at least those who handle lawn care.

After testing dozens of robotic vacuum cleaners for inside the house, I can’t deny that automated lawn care has been the dream of my garden, and the Eufy E15 delivers.

In a simplified sense, the EUFY E15 is a larger robotic vakuum, but it is designed to chop grass. Instead of focusing on walls, it recognizes lawn edges to establish a limit. It identifies accurately and safe obstacles and is safe around humans and animals. Best of all, it uses a similar base station strategy for total autonomy.

The EUFY E15 Robot Mower is not a heavy grassy tool. Instead, this is the tool you allow to drive often between your large lawn care effort. In my case, I had to use the old gas mower to knock down the first spring growth. My gas mower also has a collection bag, to soak up the remaining leaves and twigs that slid through the forks on my rake. When it was cleaned up, the E15 managed to map and start cutting.

Unlike your big mower, the E15 is equipped with a spinning disk with small cutting blades. These sharp leaves are perfect for a clean cut of grass leaves, but I want to avoid hitting pine jails or twigs.

The driving motor is tough enough to handle uneven soil. In fact, I have put my base station in my shed, so a bot has a ramp it has to navigate to get to and from home. No problem. To quantify it, the E15 can handle up to a 40% grade, which is an 18 ° slope.

With a decent waterproof assessment, Euphy intends to lie outdoors. This allows bot to start in your garden at any time. As mentioned, I chose to put the base station in the shed. I have done myself a bear service here, as I now have to open a door before the E15 can mow my lawn. You can specify an automated schedule in the Eufy app, but I need to use manual controls in the app, or on the device, to start grass control.

Let me be clear, if you have a neat, mostly flat and clean edged garden with grass that is between 25-75 mm in height, then the E15 is the ideal solution for you. Those who need a severe cutting, and those with difficult grassy angasy may have some concerns.

On the list of negatives, the E15 does not have a collection bag. Whatever it cuts just fall to the ground. This is not a problem for frequent accessories, but will require follow -up cleaning if you allow the grass to grow too much between cuts. The cutting blades, as mentioned, are quite small. They actually look like heavy razor blades from their father’s old razor. Good for normal grass, but will not easily survive a rock strike or larger twigs.

I would like to pay attention to the wage placement. The blade is inserted at a good distance from the edge of the fine, which means that the wheels must roll straight up your flowers to trim the grass to the edge. There is logic for this location to reduce the knife attacks on other objects, but those with actual boundaries on the edge must come back with a edge trimmer.

When I talk about edges, I had a hard time mapping my space. The inner sensors are wonderful at identifying something grassy, ​​but they refused to recognize one of my flower beds and my rocky dry pelvic bed. I had to put sticks to prevent bot from running over my flowers, and several sticks to prevent it from getting stuck on the stones. I thought it was strange that it had no problem with other parts of the exact same garden and brook bed, but the few places were painful.

Once mapped, you can change the space to block the fine from cutting or navigating through certain places, but you need to get a successful automated map locked in before you can change.

From there, give yourself some time. My lawn is almost exactly 300 square meters, which is about 3230 square meters. The first time I asked the E15 to cut, it was on the field to take about four hours to complete. It even had to stop in the middle to fill the battery. I see the value in establishing an automated routine.

What really matters is that my garden looks fantastic. You can control the direction E15 cuts in by spinning the lines on the map; I chose a complementary angle. The grass is consistently trimmed, has fine lines, and shows no signs of being abused or trampled by the mower wheels.

I also like that Eufy included a rain sensor. It’s just not a good idea to cut wet grass. That said, the rain sensor is to detect falling water, if the sky is clear, but the grass is soaked, consider taking some manual control to things dry up.

Did I mention that the Eufy E15 is quiet? It was one of the first things that separated me, and perhaps the biggest unexpected benefit of this mower. The spinning disk cutting of this grass strip is practically quiet. It’s not that you can’t hear it running, it produces about 56db sound, but the birds that rattle the feed around my bird veneer make more noise than this cure. Inclusion of an LED light makes it possible to run in the dark, and it is quiet enough that it will not wake you up.

The E15 mower requires some maintenance to keep it in top running order, but it is not as tough as your gas or electric mower. Eufy recommends changing the cutting blades every 1-2 months, and more importantly, it suggests keeping the machine as clean as possible. You can use the garden hose to blast away dirt or mud or just brush it off.

It suggests keeping the camera sensors as clean as possible to ensure accurate navigation and prevent the rain sensor from being blocked. Otherwise, regularly lubricate Omni-Wheel Pivot Point and you should be good to go. However, the documents make it clear that the cleaner this fine remains, the more likely it is to operate as intended in the long term.

There are not many competitors in the Robot Lawn Mower market. I like what I see from the line of mammothion machines, and we are eager to put Segway and Eclow cutters to the test. Some tool brands come in on the fun, including Greenworks And Worx. The real competition comes from one of the older commercial lawnmower brands, Houseqvarna. In a moment, Husqvarna has over 25 different robot machine options.

I am pleased to report that the EUFY E15 offers top level features compared to competition. Accurate navigation, especially without the need for a borderline, is as premium as it becomes at this time. E15’s consistent and tight travel pattern leaves professional lines in your grass.

Under the hood is a spinning disk with small knives the most common cutter configuration. However, while the 3-wheel configuration on the EUFY E15 is also a common design, that is the reason for the only time I’ve had to save this fine. The only front wheel fell into a small hole in the garden. Being highly centered, the large rear drive wheels simply in place. Had this been a four -wheel configuration like Greenworks, SegwayAnd Husqvarna robots, it is more likely to have navigated over the uneven terrain.

I expect there will be many breakthroughs and new innovations in the robotic cousin market over the next couple of years, but Eufy Robot Lawn Mower E15, with a start price of $ 1,599.99, is an excellent challenger for a first generation unit.
