Landroid working badly
I have had a Worx Landroid M500 for 3 years. It works but not well. On average I have to intervene on every 2nd or 3rd cut. It gets stuck when doing cut-to-border where grass is 2 cm higher than tiles. I then have to hammer down the lawn with a large cobble-stone. Due to its body being low it occasionally also gets stuck in the lawn where it has a small depression. It has trouble turning around most corners, and digs holes in these places. I then have to fill up the holes with pebble stones. Also gets stuck on trampoline foot, where its program for getting out seem immature. Wheels have too poor grip, and sometimes looses grip when grass is wet, digs a hole in wet earth. Other problems: would over-shoot base station if the metal plates are not cleaned. The large red stop button is prone to get stuck in a constant-stop mode. I have to pluck it on one side, to get it out of this stop-mode. Occasionally it stops for no reason in the middle of the lawn. I suspect a bumpy lawn can trigger the stop button. Now the 20V power supply stopped working, and a new one costs 730 DKK (incl freight), where a similar rated laptop supply costs 180 DKK. I advised a family member from buying a Landroid, but he went on anyway and bought it, and is now also not happy about the purchase. My neighbor has a Husqvarna which seem to work more reliable.
