I didn’t think I needed a robot lawnmower until I tried this one

I had fairly low expectations going into reviewing the Mammotion Yuka Mini 800, mainly because my understanding of robot grass mowers was outdated. The last time I had checked, they were all too expensive for me to seriously consider getting one for my suburban backyard. I also thought that these machines required guide wires to define the areas you want mowed, something I couldn’t be bothered with. Finally, after some poor experiences with needy robot vacuum cleaners, I was skeptical about the navigational abilities of robot mowers.

I am happy to report that the Mammotion Yuka Mini 800 proved my preconceptions wrong across the board.
