"Maybe you're not ready to give up control of your mowing, but you're sick of pushing that mower around. The Mowrator S1 is a slightly crazy remote-control mower that just might be what you need. You'll get some nostalgic joy from cutting grass with this beast of a mower, and it is oddly satisfying to mow the lawn this way."

“The Mowrator S1 is not so much a lawnbot as an all-in-one, consumer-grade, yardwork Transformer. It's perfect if your yard has terrain, roots, or foliage that a traditional lawnbot can't handle. And you can still mow, plough snow or clear leaves from the comfort of your sofa, while monitoring the S1's progress out of the window.”

“In any case, the fact that I was cutting grass bycontrolling chand device was a surreal yet funexperience. What's more, the Mowrator was able tocut the grass in under 20 minutes - compared to my40 minutes of manual labor.”

“I was particularly impressed with the mower's ability to scale inclines. The play in its front-axle helps it roll over uneven surfaces, such as the steep transition from the sidewalk to my lawn in front of my house.That's proven to be a near-insurmountable obstaclefor many of the robot mowers I've tested, but the Mowrator S1 barely flinched.”

“The Mowrator S1 Pro Remote Control 4WD Lawn Mower is unlike any lawn mower I've ever seen. It looks like it should be exploring the surface of Mars, not cutting my lawn. My first impression was how tough the mower looked. The S1 Pro's 21" mowing deck uses reinforced aluminum alloy, and a steel tub frame surrounds the mower.”
