1
00:00:00,179 --> 00:00:07,459
foreign

2
00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:16,040
well I guess my days of going outside are over thanks to ecoflow who sponsored

3
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:16,040
this video

4
00:00:16,740 --> 00:00:22,380
some people get naturally excited about the outdoors even yard work as you can

5
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:27,539
see that ain't me which is why the blade

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,920
from ecoflow is only the first in what is likely going to end up being a series

7
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:36,840
of videos covering yard maintenance robots over the next year or so this one

8
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:41,340
has a couple of standout features first and foremost being that it comes

9
00:00:38,219 --> 00:00:43,620
completely pre-assembled which

10
00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:48,600
really okay well they say it comes completely pre-assembled and it features

11
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:54,020
what they're calling sweeping technology which means that not only will it cut

12
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:56,640
the grass it will also remove I guess

13
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:59,940
leaves needles does it do needles it does needles right because that is a

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:05,159
huge problem in this yard by the way that's Jordan I think this is the first time you're meeting him it's cute

15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,640
truthfully I don't have much in the way of talking points about this thing and

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:13,700
this is the first time seeing of it but I do know that they offer replace are

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,659
those razor blades what the hell that is not the kind of

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:24,060
lawnmower blade I was expecting to see the idea here is that if it hits a stick

19
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:28,860
or a rock or something it'll just give it'll just spin around rather than you

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,240
know whacking it and throwing it across the yard which makes a ton of sense

21
00:01:31,380 --> 00:01:37,979
because if you're operating the lawnmower you're going to be at the back

22
00:01:34,979 --> 00:01:39,420
of the mower behind a shield whereas if

23
00:01:37,979 --> 00:01:44,040
this thing is just running and you're lounging with a drink or whatever yeah

24
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:48,600
that could be very dangerous this is apparently the sweeper accessory

25
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:52,619
this really doesn't seem like it would work that well does it

26
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:57,360
just picking my pebbles in the parking lot I guess so it was picking up rocks

27
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,680
oh yeah who needs a manual when you've got instructions right on the top here

28
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:05,340
like that that's cheating it's not cheating that's using what's available

29
00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:08,299
to me oh I see

30
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,080
look at these wheels that is

31
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:19,920
funky so these spin every which way

32
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:23,280
and these spin this is apparently called

33
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:25,560
an omnidirectional wheel my mind is

34
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:29,400
completely blown right now and the unit can clear obstacles as high as 40

35
00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:33,000
millimeters so that's four centimeters or about two inches for my American

36
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:37,020
friends kind of feel like I'm in my yard playing with tractors you know this

37
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:40,440
isn't the first you've seen of ecoflow on our Channel bear hole stick is that

38
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,280
they're about capturing storing and using energy in innovative ways to

39
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:47,819
simplify everyday living so their newest smart devices include the glacier a

40
00:02:46,019 --> 00:02:51,660
portable fridge freezer with an integrated ice maker The Wave 2 which is

41
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:56,400
a new generation of their powerful compact portable AC and heating unit and

42
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,700
of course the blade the first automated lawnmower with lawn sweeping

43
00:02:58,019 --> 00:03:04,080
capabilities with the idea being that it can keep your yard clear even when the

44
00:03:02,220 --> 00:03:07,980
leaves are falling overall I haven't needed the manual yet

45
00:03:06,180 --> 00:03:12,599
I'm pretty impressed with the Simplicity of the setup

46
00:03:09,180 --> 00:03:15,239
this guy goes on here a little something

47
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:19,500
like this so the sweeping happens after the cutting then

48
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,099
uh you can pick you can pick you tell the app what you want to do no way oh

49
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:28,019
you mean if you just have it go through the whole yard twice yeah sweeping first

50
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:30,659
and then cutting icy power for the sweeping unit plugs in at the back right

51
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:35,400
here pretty straightforward okay let's find

52
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,780
out what these buttons do there is nothing in the manual regarding the

53
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,840
buttons on the unit because I guess you're basically just expected to

54
00:03:41,459 --> 00:03:47,099
download the app and set it up that makes sense no before we get the app we

55
00:03:45,299 --> 00:03:51,239
need to set up the charging station and the antenna that's what this is we've

56
00:03:49,260 --> 00:03:55,620
got to be more than two meters from a building and we can't install the

57
00:03:53,700 --> 00:04:00,540
charger anywhere where there's less than four meters to navigate

58
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:04,379
it can go on the concrete right yep okay cool I'm just gonna put it over by the

59
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:10,140
house over here then oh good water resistant housing

60
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,780
was wrong ah that makes way more sense

61
00:04:10,140 --> 00:04:17,519
the sun's coming out let's go baby yeah that's good oh it was been chilly this

62
00:04:15,420 --> 00:04:23,460
morning thankfully I have this wonderful 3D down jacket from lttstore.com

63
00:04:21,780 --> 00:04:27,000
power brick also has little wall mount holes so you could kind of stick it on

64
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,380
there plug it in and then it should be good to just leave it there forever

65
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:36,720
you know I feel like for a more permanent installation I would want to

66
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:40,020
put it somewhere more out of the way oh you're good yeah oh you got to screw it

67
00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:43,639
down too for our purposes this is can you screw it into lawn like does it come

68
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:47,580
with lawn screws oh that's cool okay lawn screws

69
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:53,699
I mean should we screw it down then sure let's screw it down let's do it yeah

70
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:56,520
let's put it over here you know what

71
00:04:53,699 --> 00:05:01,020
kind of feeling this spot right here you're supposed to be able to map out

72
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:05,639
the yard and set exclusion zones so there should be no reason for it to

73
00:05:02,820 --> 00:05:10,800
accidentally run over its own cord but I would rest easier just having this

74
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:14,639
go you know through a planter or something like that that I know it can't

75
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:20,280
climb up onto very important by the way this needs to be mounted level

76
00:05:17,699 --> 00:05:24,360
yeah that's not going anywhere on the subject of inclines it should still be

77
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:29,699
able to handle this okay ecoflow rates it for 15 degrees at the edge of the

78
00:05:26,580 --> 00:05:33,419
lawn and 27 degrees in the middle of the

79
00:05:29,699 --> 00:05:35,220
lawn so yeah this is pretty flat that

80
00:05:33,419 --> 00:05:40,500
should be okay it comes in the Box powered on I think so I'm gonna power it

81
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:43,880
on wait we didn't do the antenna

82
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:48,060
this is a GPS antenna this is

83
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:50,220
oh okay so this is intended to give a

84
00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:54,479
clear always accurate GPS signal that the robot can compare against to know

85
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:58,320
exactly where it is and this is particularly necessary because this

86
00:05:56,220 --> 00:06:02,580
robot doesn't have any kind of boundary wire around the edge of the property or

87
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,660
anything like that it only relies on this to know where it is I should have

88
00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:10,259
uh should have cable managed this the other way first yeah there will be no

89
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:13,919
need to record me doing this for the next four minutes it's the same for both

90
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,520
of them it has to be at least two meters from the building and then at least four

91
00:06:15,479 --> 00:06:21,300
meters of navigation space around it does it go

92
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,479
well it doesn't seem like it has to go right next to the base they show it like

93
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,039
that but why would they have this long cord if I couldn't just put it kind of

94
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:33,319
wherever I want I'm going to put it wherever I want I want to put it next to

95
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:38,639
the base all right who doesn't need a GPS antenna

96
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:44,039
in their yard that's what I want to know let's fire up

97
00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:47,600
the app one device has been found Eco

98
00:06:44,039 --> 00:06:47,600
flow blade 0282

99
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:57,560
connecting camera or lidar sensor blocked now in

100
00:06:53,819 --> 00:07:01,199
safety protection mode oh

101
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:03,539
see this my friends is why you always

102
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:07,979
remove the Peels and is a perfect opportunity for us to talk about how

103
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:12,900
this thing navigates it has a camera it has lidar and it has GPS so

104
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:18,180
theoretically it should be able to handle the obstacle avoidance of course

105
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:22,819
that we've set up for it here which includes a trampoline these random two

106
00:07:20,699 --> 00:07:27,780
by fours that are propping up this tree these saplings that my in-laws put in

107
00:07:25,620 --> 00:07:32,220
the middle of the yard for some inexplicable reason that concrete found

108
00:07:30,419 --> 00:07:36,060
this is going to be really challenging press the power button okay power button

109
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:39,900
followed by the start button so that's what these buttons are there's power

110
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:44,479
start and I think go home and charge I guess I guess there's also stop

111
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:56,759
okay power button start button

112
00:07:53,580 --> 00:07:59,099
um okay and it lived there forever all

113
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:05,819
right oh here we go okay now I've got the quick start guide assemble product

114
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:10,639
antenna mower is not charging oh okay I

115
00:08:05,819 --> 00:08:10,639
can so I should put it on here come on

116
00:08:12,780 --> 00:08:17,060
um oh oh sorry buddy

117
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,440
oh sorry I pressed the emergency stop

118
00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:28,259
when I put it on the charger it got mad sorry buddy okay

119
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:31,500
search antenna signal continue moving antenna to find a stronger signal and

120
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,300
fix the antenna week six drop

121
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:43,800
signal I see I knew it mower control

122
00:08:41,219 --> 00:08:48,020
if you can manually control it oh do not stand behind the charging

123
00:08:45,839 --> 00:08:48,020
station

124
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:59,720
There She Goes okay those front wheels trip me out

125
00:08:55,620 --> 00:08:59,720
control mower turn around

126
00:09:06,779 --> 00:09:13,200
it's going all right that's that's pretty intuitive

127
00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:17,820
well done mower control practice completed if only my driver's licensing

128
00:09:15,899 --> 00:09:22,200
test was that fast you got the basics get out there create

129
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:26,519
mower work map remove all dogs soccer balls and

130
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,420
branches from the yard it was a soccer ball all right no dogs oh you got the

131
00:09:28,620 --> 00:09:35,040
soccer ball the grass needs to be shorter than three inches which I mean

132
00:09:32,940 --> 00:09:40,080
this grass just barely grows I guess it'll probably be fine and you need to

133
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:45,480
keep within two meters of the mower and follow it during mapping

134
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,860
satellite signal is weak okay you are

135
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:52,500
definitely going to want to set up the base station somewhere where the signal

136
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,120
is consistently good I will say that so

137
00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:59,580
can we go back now okay create mower workmap here we go

138
00:09:56,580 --> 00:09:59,580
retest

139
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:09,420
stupid planter and let's just see if moving that a couple feet away gets us

140
00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:12,019
over the threshold yes

141
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,740
door's about to

142
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:26,459
it says it's strong but then the unit itself is flashing orange which

143
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,560
indicates that it is not strong

144
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:31,740
so now it's complaining about this one but it didn't complain about this one

145
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:35,640
before okay

146
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:41,580
What if I do a little thing

147
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:42,600
hold on hold on no I think I'm gonna get

148
00:10:41,580 --> 00:10:48,060
away with it okay so now I have to manually take it

149
00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:53,040
to the edge of the lawn then tap start to start the mapping oh I gotta drive it

150
00:10:50,820 --> 00:10:56,399
yeah I have to drive it the whole way you drive the perimeter you want to move

151
00:10:54,660 --> 00:11:00,860
oh my God and then once that's there it'll plan the road itself all right all

152
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:05,760
right I'm working on I'm working on it jeez come on all those gaming skills put

153
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:12,320
them to use oh yeah yeah Peak gamer moment right here I feel like I'm taking

154
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:12,320
my really weird dog for a walk

155
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:20,459
he uses a Wi-Fi leash okay he prefers

156
00:11:16,380 --> 00:11:23,399
that oh this is cool it has the map all

157
00:11:20,459 --> 00:11:28,320
like drawn in real time here that's pretty sick and it looks like I

158
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:36,060
did manage to fool it with my quick swap of the GPS antennas location

159
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:37,680
uh okay oh yeah oh yeah bud now seems

160
00:11:36,060 --> 00:11:41,940
like a good time to mention that you can set multiple areas and then you can draw

161
00:11:39,959 --> 00:11:48,540
a path between them in case you happen to have two yards approaching starting

162
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:51,779
point tap complete to save the map no go

163
00:11:48,540 --> 00:11:54,600
Zone the mower is not allowed to go in

164
00:11:51,779 --> 00:11:58,260
this area okay should I make a no-go Zone under the trampoline I think so

165
00:11:56,399 --> 00:12:01,260
okay sure yeah let's make a no-go Zone then if Eco flow is watching which I

166
00:12:00,300 --> 00:12:05,279
know you are I wouldn't mind if it went a lot faster

167
00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:09,480
like if you could put it in race mode I'm sure lawnmower racing is a thing

168
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:15,120
somewhere oh I think it got a little confused

169
00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:17,220
uh yes quit mapping wait what

170
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:22,079
oh are you kidding me well you're okay you're okay oh we're no we're good oh

171
00:12:19,740 --> 00:12:27,660
Dynamic mode Let's Go uh how how 1.6 inches sure okay

172
00:12:26,339 --> 00:12:31,740
uh uh save

173
00:12:29,820 --> 00:12:34,800
nice yeah I'm not being a no-go's on okay let's try it let's try again with

174
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:40,680
the no goes on hey there it goes look at that Perfect Circle baby

175
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:43,339
start just started

176
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:48,120
oh I would say you should probably stay six

177
00:12:45,779 --> 00:12:51,680
inches away from the obstacles yeah okay so now it's gonna do stuff

178
00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:57,839
look at it go that is adorable

179
00:12:55,079 --> 00:13:01,260
you know what it's on mowing mode I probably just shouldn't have the sweeper

180
00:12:59,459 --> 00:13:05,000
accessory on it at all yeah I'm gonna take the sweeping

181
00:13:05,579 --> 00:13:09,920
she's got some give or she's got some go

182
00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:18,540
whoa okay this seems like it's gonna take a

183
00:13:16,139 --> 00:13:23,579
while oh okay we apparently brought a decibel meter

184
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,899
it's really quiet 60 something High 70

185
00:13:23,579 --> 00:13:29,399
low it changes the height of the blade for a

186
00:13:26,700 --> 00:13:33,720
slope yep oh interesting this is an assumption I don't know this but I would

187
00:13:30,899 --> 00:13:38,040
have to guess that once it's kind of run the area once it gets a bit of a better

188
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,700
idea what's shaking yeah it'll plan its own route and it'll

189
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,720
just zigzag back and forth kind of like you would normally mowing the lawn yourself

190
00:13:43,860 --> 00:13:49,800
right now because we haven't told it where all the obstacles are

191
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,339
it has to kind of get a feel for it figuring things out interesting and I

192
00:13:52,019 --> 00:14:00,839
think we'll be cutting a little bit low for a first pass given how high the grass was to start yeah probably there I

193
00:13:58,079 --> 00:14:04,620
saw the 2x4 it does not like my two by four system for holding up this tree

194
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:10,019
I've been meaning to implement a better system but I don't live here anymore so

195
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:16,860
it's been a low priority it fell over like fell over it's a miracle it's alive

196
00:14:13,019 --> 00:14:19,139
this is going to take a very long time

197
00:14:16,860 --> 00:14:23,040
which theoretically doesn't matter because unless you're going to write it

198
00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:27,000
you don't have yeah no no no that's not allowed that's right in the manual

199
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:32,519
Jordan you know what it wasn't very clear what the method to

200
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:37,019
the madness was initially but it's starting to take shape

201
00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:43,680
you can see it found this obstacle it's like nope.png right here

202
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,959
and other than that it's kind of doing a

203
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:49,800
thing now and I should say as long as this looks like it's going to take the

204
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:54,139
cutting width is actually wider than most other mowers out there at about 26

205
00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:54,139
centimeters

206
00:14:54,839 --> 00:15:00,839
I think this wheel's just kind of gummed up here and we're a little bit low on

207
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:04,500
the cutting height yeah I think I'm going to raise the cutting height

208
00:15:02,459 --> 00:15:09,720
yeah okay I'm gonna set the cutting height to two inches and see if that

209
00:15:06,779 --> 00:15:15,420
helps this lawn is just not level enough for it to go that low to the ground

210
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,899
yeah and see now it's not getting stuck as it tries to turn it's supposed to be

211
00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:23,339
accurate to two centimeters for positioning two centimeters yep I think

212
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:28,920
I found a tree honestly I don't think that really matters because if you run

213
00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:32,519
it every day and it's off by just a little bit yeah it'll kind of it'll kind

214
00:15:30,779 --> 00:15:37,320
of grab everything eventually like it's more of a maintenance type of program

215
00:15:34,620 --> 00:15:40,920
than a you know oh crap I haven't done this in three weeks oh I need to get

216
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:45,620
every blade I definitely should have set a smaller area for just a product demo

217
00:15:49,820 --> 00:15:55,800
yeah we should have swept first there's some pretty big pine cones and stuff

218
00:15:54,060 --> 00:15:59,100
here ah

219
00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:04,440
okay whoops that's a little big for it uh yep

220
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:12,120
oh there's still a lot of these uh oh uh oh I'm sorry

221
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,199
okay no no no you're good don't uh go

222
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,160
for it all right

223
00:16:15,180 --> 00:16:21,360
okay I'm supervising

224
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:25,199
forget about figuring out obstacles yeah I should have just had this as an

225
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:29,279
exclusion zone or set it up as a separate zone for just sweeping because

226
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:33,300
nothing grows here anyway then again if this thing was sweeping the yard every

227
00:16:30,779 --> 00:16:37,560
day stuff might eventually grow here I only hope that once the tables are

228
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:41,160
turned our robot overlords give me a job like this to do

229
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:47,519
I'm gonna take the sweeper off for now we can take a look at the sweeper later

230
00:16:44,459 --> 00:16:51,079
oh man and what is that so tight you've

231
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:51,079
really got it on there how did I do that

232
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:01,560
oh no I think my little Switcheroo with

233
00:16:58,620 --> 00:17:05,280
the GPS antenna may have confused it it's about to run over my camera

234
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:10,020
operator here um it thinks it's in the middle of the

235
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:15,179
mowing area and it's clearly not it's like headed for the rock bed we're gonna

236
00:17:12,299 --> 00:17:20,339
do the setup properly give me a minute we're gonna reset the map

237
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:24,780
and we're going to create a new map the GPS is not mad at me this time which is

238
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:30,000
good man imagine this becomes a thing companies sponsoring videos with us just

239
00:17:27,540 --> 00:17:32,460
to reinforce that people need to read the manual before setting up their

240
00:17:31,380 --> 00:17:36,360
product I can even see just looking at the

241
00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:43,760
preview of the map on my phone though this is way better here we go okay

242
00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:47,880
it absolutely nailed the start location

243
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:49,860
so we are definitely right this time oh

244
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:55,799
hey it's worth noting it has a rain sensor so if it detects rain it'll go

245
00:17:53,400 --> 00:18:00,960
hide away in its little dock presumably charge up I guess and then when the rain

246
00:17:58,020 --> 00:18:05,520
stops it'll go mow the lawn again okay it's already taking away smarter path

247
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:10,460
around the yard cool all right well let's go eat and we'll be back all right

248
00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:10,460
good luck buddy

249
00:18:19,740 --> 00:18:26,220
we're back and it definitely went everywhere you

250
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:31,679
can actually see it was quite methodical here but as I mentioned before it's

251
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:35,400
pretty clear that this is the kind of thing that you wouldn't want to run once

252
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:39,900
every two weeks it's the kind of thing you'd want to set to run more like every

253
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:43,799
day it did a way better job of cutting close to this thing now that it doesn't

254
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,799
have the sweeping attachment on it so I think that sweeping is something you'd

255
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,660
want to be a little more manual about maybe not just leave it on all the time

256
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:56,880
definitely a learning curve I will be very curious to see if it can actually

257
00:18:53,940 --> 00:19:02,220
sweep any of this stuff because like hey it actually sounds whoa hey hi sorry it

258
00:18:59,820 --> 00:19:06,120
sounds more like a lawnmower now I also feel like you've got to have the right

259
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:10,740
yard configuration like it's pretty clear that there are

260
00:19:08,340 --> 00:19:16,740
some very challenging things about this particular yard the fact that all this

261
00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:18,179
brick work is very wavy and sort of all

262
00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:22,380
over the place the fact that I have two by fours holding up a tree

263
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:26,940
minor things like that pretty lumpy too the ground is extremely lumpy but I have

264
00:19:25,679 --> 00:19:31,080
to wonder if you're the kind of person who can afford one of these would you

265
00:19:29,100 --> 00:19:35,039
just have a flat lawn you know right ecoflow recommends using the blade in a

266
00:19:33,059 --> 00:19:39,360
lawn that's between a hundred to three thousand square meters the bigger the

267
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:43,919
lawn is the better it will perform it's not a replacement for ever going outside

268
00:19:41,700 --> 00:19:49,500
and working on your yard that much is very clear yeah but what it is doing

269
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,520
right now is an 80 20 job of it this is

270
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:55,799
better than I would have done as a teenager I mean speak for yourself I was

271
00:19:52,919 --> 00:19:59,160
a night I was a good teenager no you know what I don't know if I was

272
00:19:57,360 --> 00:20:03,600
giving the sweeping enough credit before it's definitely picking stuff up and in

273
00:20:01,919 --> 00:20:08,700
Dynamic mode it's actually going pretty quickly I do wish you could chop and

274
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:13,620
sweep there are some places that it didn't do a great job but it's rated to

275
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:17,820
handle three inches and that's more like four four and a half

276
00:20:15,780 --> 00:20:21,600
so on the one hand even though this is a sponsored video we went out of our way

277
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:26,400
to use it in the real world so you guys can see it in action and you don't end

278
00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:30,299
up with unrealistic expectations but on the other hand we did kind of go out of

279
00:20:28,620 --> 00:20:35,280
our way to put it in a very challenging situation

280
00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:36,900
and it's definitely doing stuff like you

281
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:42,059
do another pass of this thing with cutting another pass with sweeping here

282
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:47,640
actually you know what I'm gonna hit the thing hey buddy

283
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,620
it did this little part right here

284
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:55,020
it actually picked up a crap ton of stuff lawn clippings leaves Twigs all

285
00:20:53,700 --> 00:21:00,539
this crap was it a pretty small area actually and

286
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:03,720
it charges fast enough that you could even run it twice a day for the first

287
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:09,780
little bit if you just wanted to get things up to scratch no you know what I

288
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,940
would totally map my work area just with

289
00:21:09,780 --> 00:21:15,660
wider borders and I would just leave the sweeper on all the time because you can

290
00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:21,660
have different areas that do different things oh so I could set it to mow this

291
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:27,179
and then dock for a couple hours and then sweep that

292
00:21:23,820 --> 00:21:29,820
sick it went and took a nap after doing

293
00:21:27,179 --> 00:21:33,900
a very small amount of this challenging area and we were like what the heck is

294
00:21:32,580 --> 00:21:38,520
up with that any questions I had before about whether

295
00:21:36,179 --> 00:21:41,000
the sweeper works or not have been put to rest

296
00:21:41,460 --> 00:21:47,720
it went to take a nap because the thing was full it picked up all of that

297
00:21:48,299 --> 00:21:53,960
just going around here and then along here

298
00:21:57,059 --> 00:22:04,860
yeah okay sweeper mode confirmed does sweep

299
00:22:01,919 --> 00:22:08,400
it depends on your standards it's never gonna get right in there next to the

300
00:22:06,780 --> 00:22:13,200
edges it's never going to get under the trampoline or anything like that but if

301
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:16,500
you just want the place to not be overgrown and you don't want to go and

302
00:22:15,299 --> 00:22:21,780
do it yourself the only challenge with that is the

303
00:22:18,539 --> 00:22:23,520
price it's not cheap we're gonna have a

304
00:22:21,780 --> 00:22:28,140
link down below where you guys can check out both the ecoflow blade and sweeper

305
00:22:26,460 --> 00:22:31,760
accessory come on come on
