WR305E Getting Stuck Returning to Charging Station + Other Issues
My sister has bought a WR305E (I did too, but I haven’t unpacked mine because of all the problems she’s been having with hers), and she’s experiencing a lot of issues with it.
It has missed a lot of patches of grass here and there on the lawn, skipped larger sections of the lawn, etc. (especially in shaded areas). A lot of that seems to have been resolved with the latest update that came yesterday. But we’re not completely sure yet since it has only completed one run after the update. However, it even went under the trampoline, which it had only done once before.
But one problem that still hasn’t been fixed despite the update is that it gets stuck in one spot when returning to the charging station.
As you can see on the map, it gets stuck near a narrow passage. But it only gets stuck when approaching the charging station from that direction, even though there is enough space for it to pass. After all, it drives through there every single time without any problems when going to that part of the lawn. But as mentioned, it always gets stuck on the way back. It stops right in front of an AC unit.
We’re wondering if it’s losing the RTK signal there because the space is narrow between my sister’s sunroom and the neighbor’s garage. But:
It passes through there from the other direction without any issues.
If it loses the RTK signal, it’s supposed to use the camera.
You can also see in the picture that the charging station is positioned well.
Do you have any tips on what could be wrong?
As I said, she has had so many problems, and I’ve read in several posts here that many others seem to have issues too. So I haven’t even unpacked mine to test it yet. It really makes you wonder whether you should buy another brand instead. But here in Sweden this one is very reasonably priced, so you really want it to work as well as it seems to do in all the YouTube reviews.
