Theft & Robotic Mowers

We field numerous questions from customers and prospective customers worried about someone stealing their mowers.  While not an expert on all brands we can speak to what Mammotion does for their mowers and address our commercial mowers.

We can start with the commercial mowers - first off good luck with stealing one.  These things are big and heavy, you’d need multiple people to even think about lifting or moving it and something pretty big to load it in to.  It is going to be constantly reporting its location to its owner so any theft or attempted theft is going to be short lived.  Our commercial mowers also have a pin required to access the app so even if it is a sophisticated thief they won’t have any luck.  Additionally our anti theft system includes an instant alarm if the unit is lifted or moved outside of its designated operating area.  Lastly the units provide immediate real time GPS tracking to its exact location.

Our residential mowers from Mammotion are tied to a master user, the person who originally bound the unit when it was new and just opened.  Only the master user can remove themselves from this role through “unbinding” the unit.  The only reason for this would be to transfer ownership or full authority over the mower to someone else.  The master user can share access with anyone they want but if someone tries to access or use the robot they will be unable to.  There is no way to over-ride this other than the master user voluntarily doing it so they will be carrying around a paperweight if they steal it.  Additionally if the mower is on it will provide a user notification that it was taken outside of its operating area and provide its location to the master user on the app via wifi or 4g.  There is a place in the Mammotion mowers to place an air tag or gps tag as well if that is desired for even more security.

We do place labels on mowers that advise any potential thief that the mower is useless to anyone other than its owner and reports its location to its owner for a passive deterrent also.  We are fortunate that we have not had any issues with theft
