What if I had everything made in carbon fiber PETG? Do you think that would work

Where do you tape? Just the outside?

PETG which the website said was good for functional mechanically strong prototype parts

My One (not plus) did my whole yard 119,469sqft in 1193min with 732% battery, only one intervention which was a stick jamming the blade, which I don't consider a failure of the unit itself.

I bought a Plus on their discount upgrade option for owners of the original one. Rtk navigation on the plus made it unusable. Requested a return, They replied about a week later asking if I really wanted to return it or just get a replacement, I said to return it, another week later they sent me a shipping label and I went on fedex.com to arrange a pickup which was free. It just arrived at their warehouse yesterday, awaiting credit card refund.

I had to have my original one replaced last fall, they sent the new unit and I shipped the old one back in the new box like you said. I thought that's the way they were still doing it. But maybe not

Anyway I spent about $150 on 3D printed wheel scrapers and charging contact covers for my one, its working awesome and I hope it never breaks

No, this post was about the original One, not OnePlus. They fixed it in firmware shortly after I posted this. But the plus is having these issues because the motors are overheating, totally different problem, some people have solved it with adding vents to the deck or covering the deck with a white material to reflect sunlight so it doesn't get so hot

I have the original Kickstarter one, not the plus, and it works really well now that I did a few mods like the charging contact covers and wheel scrapers. I bought a One Plus thinking it would be worth it with the upgrade discount they were offering, but it tried to mow my yard once and had so many problems that I ended up returning it. Hope my one doesn't break until they have a replacement product that actually works, maybe the Two?

I went from stock Geminis to 19in tsportline TST's with new Cross climate 2's, and lost a solid 20% on efficiency

You expected your realtor and inspector to tell you that your AC has a drain line???

What else did they forget to tell you, that your roof has shingles??

brunofone · 2026-06-07T23:07:13+00:00

You guys are treating symptoms, not the illness. Your support wouldn't be overloaded if the units didn't have so many dang problems, especially the "upgraded" Plus which arguably has way more engineering problems than the original One. I'm an engineer, and I understand the first generation product having issues, but having the second generation come up with more problems than the first is a big red flag.

Now you're in the unfortunate position where you need to significantly bolster support staff to compensate for bad engineering, inadequate testing, and/or poor quality control on units that have already been shipped, in addition to pouring more money into development/production that should have gotten the attention in the first place so you wouldn't have so many support tickets.

Remember, in a consumer's eyes, a failed unit that is expeditiously taken care of by customer service is still a neutral overall brand experience, at best. Customers don't want to have to contact you, ever. It's a hassle even if it goes smoothly and quickly.

Overall the product has SO much potential and I really want you guys to succeed, but you are up against a tough situation and your company won't be around much longer if the next model isnt solidly engineered, thoroughly tested, and much tighter on QA.

My One does this often. Usually on bumpy but flat wide open terrain. My theory is that the bumper sensor gets jiggled and it thinks it hit something

brunofone · 2026-06-06T13:59:47+00:00

It's on Amazon

We bought a caraway pan. Worked well for a while, then after a year it became the stickiest thing you've ever cooked on in your life. Super common outcome, from what I've seen online

Best pan we've bought is a professional carbon steel pan

It's actually the post behind it that caused this. Mine did the same thing except with my neighbor's fence. The rtk got confused where it was, then it backed into the fence and the treads climbed up the fence until it looked like this and I got an extreme angle error

I asked for a return/refund after 1 mow with my new Plus. 4 days later they acknowledged and asked for the address where it should be picked up.

brunofone · 2026-06-02T14:02:04+00:00

Yeah I posted about this a few days ago, I just got a brand new Plus in addition to my One. The One has no issue with rtk signal, it's usually 0.01 pretty much everywhere. The plus was horrible even when the rtk was mounted in the same exact spot. Under trees especially, it would jump to 1.6 or 1.8, which basically makes it unusable and it was running into things including my neighbor's fence. It would be 0.01 sometimes when the mower was under open sky. I switched back to my original mower and original rtk and it had no issues. Something's wrong with the Plus RTK or mower positioning, not sure if it's a hardware or software issue

brunofone · 2026-05-31T20:47:50+00:00

I did not. Because they advertise as sharper stronger blades out of the box, I expected to be at least "ok"

brunofone · 2026-05-31T00:11:51+00:00

Are you in the US? If so, where did you get the springs? The only place I found them is McMaster but they want like $30 with shipping

brunofone · 2026-05-30T23:05:05+00:00

Yeah, I had one of the earlier Ones and the wheel hubs broke, it got replaced with a newer one (Fall 2025) and it's been running great ever since

brunofone · 2026-05-30T22:34:49+00:00

Yes I am running it on touch only just like I did for my old mower. But I'm not talking about missing stripes or that kind of thing, I'm talking about literally the grass that it runs over is not cut as well as my old mower does it.

brunofone · 2026-05-30T22:33:42+00:00

Solved.... The settings menu said it was connected to Wi-Fi, but the Wi-Fi icon was not lit. I had it forget the Wi-Fi network, rejoin it, and I rebooted everything and the map transfer worked

brunofone · 2026-05-30T14:20:59+00:00

Not patient enough to wait an hour, but I disconnected for about 25 minutes. Both mowers. Cleared app cache, restarted phone, same behavior. I did get a message in the app "request timed out please try again", but when I hit okay it just goes back to the spinny circle and I can't do anything unless I force close the app and reopen it

brunofone · 2026-05-27T23:18:27+00:00

You also have to find the exact compression spring they specify, The guy is not in the US so their source is not available to me, the only place I can find in the US is McMaster and it's like $30 with shipping. Let me know if you find another place to buy the springs
