The videos walk through the setup and where to put the charging station, mapping the yard, the hill test, obstacles, maintenance such as changing the blades, and what the mower costs to own. If you want to narrow down the models first, the comparison tool lets you filter them by brand, lawn size and features.

A month of the Hookii Neomow X2 Pro on my hilly yard. It has no perimeter wire and no RTK antenna: it finds its way with a LiDAR dome and cameras, so it keeps working under the trees. Mapping, the hill test, obstacles, the blade change, the battery and the cost.
Four months of the GOAT A3000 cutting my own lawn: mapping, obstacles, slopes, edges, the app, battery life and cut quality.
What robot mowers can and can't do, who they suit, and what to check before you buy one for your yard.
