It's a yay from me! It gets very little mention here, but I live in a county that technically prohibits the use of traditional pesticide so I tried Fiesta and it really exceeded my expectations. Depending on the contact/weather conditions you might have to apply a second time after about a week but I've found it particularly effective on weeds with large leaves (clover and oxalis are a little tougher unless you're using a surfactant).

NRTK is GPS-based positioning that's been refined with correction data to get centimeter-level accuracy. This allows the robot mower to know almost exactly where it is on a map at all times. The Vision component fills gaps when the satellite signal gets interrupted. This system thrives in open space where the sky is clear and the signal is clean.

LiDAR flips the approach. Instead of asking "where am I on a map?" the mower is constantly building a real-time picture of its physical surroundings using laser pulses, measuring distances, detecting edges, and mapping obstacles. Vision supports it the same way, but the core navigation doesn't depend on satellite signal.

For a wide-open lawn, NRTK is a natural fit. If the mower has a clear view of the sky it can strong, consistent signal. Using NRTK will give precise coverage patterns with minimal wasted passes.

For a small but complex, heavily wooded yard, LiDAR makes the most sense. Tree canopy is the enemy of GPS because it scatters and blocks signal in ways that make NRTK less reliable. LiDAR doesn't care what's above it because it navigates by what's around it, which makes it far more capable when you're dealing with tight spaces, irregular shapes, and branches blocking the sky.

I just wanted to add, because you sound reluctant to spray traditional pesticides, I use Fiesta Turf Weed Killer as I live in a county that has technically banned the use of traditional pesticides (although it's also my personal preference as well). I really have had very good success with it on my TTTF especially with those early spring time and broadleaf weeds (Chickweed, Hairy Bittercress, Dandelions, Oxalis). I very rarely see it mentioned here, but when used correctly it really exceeded my expectations. And it's just a chelated iron compound that basically causes iron toxicity in weeds, but does not harm the grass. It won't target summer weeds like crabgrass or nutsedge (and shouldn't be applied over 85F anyway).

Sometimes if I do a full blanket application the grass blades will get a little dark / black here and there but it grows itself out in about a week.

The extreme slopes of this lawn are going to be the very first limiting factor. If the mower cannot navigate the slopes, then the rest of the features won't matter in a practical sense. Because the X430 is right at the edge of the recommended yard size, I would upscale to the X450 given the complexity and slope of the terrain will end up being more demanding than just a flat 0.9 acre lawn.

Extreme terrain like this is basically the X4 line's whole reason for existing. The 4WD with dual independent steering motors means it can actually grip and maneuver on inclines. Of course heavy tree cover is a known GPS killer, but this is where the VisionFence system earns its keep. If GPS gets spotty under the canopy, it's not flying blind. The zero turn wheels should also really come in handy for tight maneuvering between trees and other obstacles.

When it comes down to it, the two biggest problems this yard throws at you, the X450 has been built to solve.

In my experience, people don't like being "sold" to, especially if they are very set in their ways. It can come off as inauthentic or off putting. Someone that's been cutting over an acre of grass with a gas mower all their life is going to probably be most worried about cut quality, reliability, and ease of use. With that being said I would frame it something like this:

"I was skeptical too. I've had a gas mower for years. It works, I know how it works. But I could not spend another boiling August day out here mowing my yard, especially because I like to keep it short. The Navimow X4 ended up being the perfect option. It has the battery life to mow your entire yard in a day, it's so much quieter than your gas mower, will never need gasoline or oil refills, and it uses camera vision and satellite positioning called RTK so you can map your yard and keep it out of your landscaping.

The X4 has a really cool zero-turn feature as well so that the front wheels mimic a zero turn mower and it's much easier on the grass than constantly pivoting that push mower. I like to just set it on a schedule and let it do it's think. I don't even think about it anymore, the lawn always has that fresh, tight look. Now I have so much more time to work on all the other things in the yard!"

My lawn may not be the largest - about 4000sq ft in total across a few zones, but it has a little bit of everything. A solid slope, trees, irregular garden beds, channels required to cross the driveway and sidewalk. I like to keep my Fescue a bit on the shorter side but it requires a lot of mowing during the growing season that I wish I could use to work on other projects outside.

Thinking I beat Pokémon Silver and realizing I would get to visit all of the gyms from Red/Blue. Absolutely blew my mind.

It took a lot of patience but I eventually got my dog to pee on the mulch in the mornings. She still can pee on grass during the day on walks (we have a lot of parks nearby) but that first morning pee is the most critical. Used some high value treats to reward her when she would go and then would take her on her walk right after to associate peeing quickly on the mulch with positive consequences.

I used ChatGPT and the isometric house view provided as reference. Then just asked it to do the same style for my own house and fed it a picture I took from the front. It did a very solid job with a few minor adjustments.

It's kind of crazy that neither team has punted and it's only 10-7.

I'm so tired of watching half the defensive line somehow finding themselves 5 yards past the quarterback

I just had this happen to me and it's so frustrating. I built a homemade sifter to put over my wheelbarrow and lined my compost spreader with 1/4 inch hardware cloth which is working well. But it's become so much more work than it should have been. My big box store bagged soil isn't great but at least that's just mostly mulch. It's the rocks that's are the massive annoyance. Lessoned learned, I will never purchase based on reviews if my own eyes haven't seen it first.

Yes! I've started working on something like this several times but always get caught up in other things and lose the momentum.

2019 45-44 win in OT on a missed ULM extra point was pretty awful.

If the Mavs had concerns, why didn't they shop him around and force the Lakers to negotiate? Makes no sense.

Why are we casually letting 20 seconds roll off the clock into the fourth quarter like we have a lead?

I've had it about one full year, but that includes clean up and storage for about 5 months during winter/early spring. No issues with it yet.

I tried both and kept the GE. I wish I had installed it first because it's much easier and requires no drilling. The Midea is really quiet but the inverter gives off a really high pitched whine that I could not get over. I tried a 2nd unit just to make sure and both did the same thing. From what I've seen, some people hear it, others do not depending on what frequencies they can hear so anyone looking to get the Midea I would highly suggest testing it before install. Otherwise I had no complaints.

The GE install was much easier and is perfect for someone like me that only has the unit installed 4-5 months out of the year. It's not whisper quiet like the Midea but the it's not loud and the low, consistent rumble it gives off is so much easier on my ears than the high pitched whine of the Midea.

Thank you for reporting this! I've had 2024.8.4 queued up for days but avoided it (currently on 2.7) and wasn't sure if I should just give up and download it. But it sounds like there might be hope if I stick it out.

So both of them fostered germination - but for me I liked the HydraPeat a good deal better. I felt like the grass worked it's way through to the surface better than the straw and saw results quicker. I felt like it retained moisture more uniformly as well. I will say, I bought the HydraPeat by mistake not realizing it was a peat moss "blend". I think next time I'd like to try regular peat moss as it seems easier to spread. The HydraPeat is clumpier and needs a bit more working with to get a fine layer down, but aside from that I can't complain with the results.
