Just got my goat, grass cut is fine, and it even seems to stick fairly well to the edge I defined (slowly and carefully).

However... The edge strimmer. If started off near the edge, then for no good reason just wandered into the middle of the lawn. Then it restarted and rejoined the edge, then took a diversion away, then back again. Then it took one edge about a foot away, then it had a fairly good run - pretty close - cut a few bits. Then decided it was done (it was halfway) and went to bed.

So, I'm not sure I'm going to keep it. I only bought the 1200 for the edge cut, my lawn is only 100m2. Anyone had experience of returning in the UK?

It would be a shame as it seems ok otherwise, it's just I dropped quite a bit if extra cash for a side trimmer that isn't fit for purpose, and from what I read I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for software updates or customer services support.

Hi all,

So I've had a worx s300 trundling around for several years, but I'm now at the 3rd wire break and have had enough!

I've prob got 100m2 arranged over two circles, and a cross shape in-between raised beds. It's flat. The boundary is edged with 8cm blocks, and the s300 currently straddles those and does a reasonable job of the edges as I managed to get the wire positioned well.

I have small, slim trees at the boundaries.

Some pictures attached.

Something small like the navimow i105e would seem like a good replacement to get rid of the wire. I don't want to spend a fortune and it's currently reduced to £599 - still higher than I'd like tbh! I do like being able to create some virtual zones that aren't cut, and the software seems good.

Any views on this or any good alternatives? I've attached some photos to give an idea of the garden.

Cheers

Matt

Hi all,

I've had a problem intermittently where my pocket fit just turned off. Holding the power button around 15 seconds brings it back.

Now recently I noticed that while trying to download a large game, it would turn off.

I now noticed that the CPU gets hit - 90-92, even in max fan during this download (gamenative steam download).

I also just switched to WiFi 6 (from WiFi 7) download is slower and stable, temperatures lower, no crashes.

Support have advised a full reset. I can't say I'm entirely convinced.

Has anyone else had this and fixed it? I am guessing that the heatsink may not have the best connection with the CPU, but interested if anyone else has seen this and managed to sort it out.

Thanks

Matt
