Can this ROBOT replace me? (Yarbo bot vs. Husquvarna RideOn)

 

Find the product here: https://yarbointernationalinc.pxf.io/B5b3YJ  (afiliate link)

Here are a few points where a MOWBOT wins over a Ride-On mower:
- mowing steep side-slopes 
  not possible on ride-on - because of higher center of gravity (me sitting on it)
- mow-results: Yarbos cut looks way better than my rider 😉
  (maybe also because he's not as lazy as I am - and mows more often)
Rider: each 2 or 3 weeks, higher grass, more clippings...
Yarbo: doesn't matter how often (at least weekly),
Side-effect: this also disturbs moles!
- seeing YARBO on my ~1500m² I'm confident he can also handle way larger properties (like a proper RideOn mower)
- Cost comparison: (gas price quite high here compared to 2-3kwh for yarbo which is either free (solar power) or only 0.3 € / kwh)
but one point of criticism:  yarbo’s standby power consumption should be lowered (0.82 kwh / day with no mowing!) = 44 € for half a year of standby (if I only count the mowing season)

RideOn:
  is LOUDER!
  needs more MAINTENANCE
  keeps me busy, in the sun (pale rider ;)
"Less Riding. More Living" (unless you're into horses ;)

The Most Powerful Robot I’ve Ever Tested: Yarbo Mower Pro Review

The Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro is one of the most advanced robot lawn mowers I've tested so far. In my honest in-depth review I challenge this system on my steep slopes, show you the mow results, what's important during the setup and the overal user experience.

Data connection:
  needed for NetRTK, showing current position on your APP,...
when my 4G contract on the Luba2 ran out - I wanted to just use WIFI - which was not 100% covered in my area - so positioning and display on the app is laggy - sometimes freezes. 
Fact: the Luba3 now comes standard with a 3 year 4G connection for free, Luba2 only had 1 year...
4G:  you don't need it - but it's an important backup for weak WIFI...
RTK:  if you install an antenna - you're less dependant on DATA connection.
