YARDCARE Robotic Lawn Mower

I wanted to try a robot lawnmower as we do not have a lot of time to spend on yardwork with busy jobs and two active kids.  The mower comes pre-assembled, you just have to lay the boundary wire which was easy when following instructions.  There was not enough boundary wire/stakes to cover the square footage the product claims to cover so I had to buy additional universal boundary wire and stakes. It cuts well but just a very narrow strip.  The mower doesn't seem to map the yard like a robot vacuum in your home so it goes pretty rogue and misses a decent chunk of the yard despite running every day, there isn't any guidance in the app to program it to get the whole yard.  I set up a schedule for the mower to run every day in the app and one day it just stopped even trying to mow despite being fully charged (and protected from the elements by a well-ventilated garage) and ensuring the boundary wire was fully intact.  When the mower was working, it would back up from the charging dock to begin mowing, do a circle, and almost always alarm despite having a fully unobstructed area to begin mowing.  I had to reconnect to Bluetooth almost every day, oftentimes requiring me to remove the device from the app completely and re-add it.  In the end, we used it for about 2 weeks and it had more faults than upside, so we just went back to push-mowing.
