By owners, for owners
Robot Owners began as a Facebook group where people who live with robots help each other out. This site is the same idea with more room.
What Robot Owners is
Home robots are great right up until one gets stuck under the couch, loses its map, or scalps a corner of the lawn. The manual rarely helps. Another owner usually can.
Robot Owners is where those owners meet. It is not tied to any one brand, it covers every kind of robot that works around a home or yard, and it is open to everyone, wherever they live.
31,450+ owners across 8 groups

Hi, I'm Nick. I run the place.
I own more robots than most people would call reasonable. Several robot mowers take turns on my yard, a robot vacuum handles the floors, and a window-cleaning robot has had its shot at the glass.
I wanted to know why one mower could handle a slope and another couldn't, or why an app buried the setting I needed three screens deep. So I joined the owner groups. Before long I was running them.
Today those communities add up to 31,450+ owners, and brands send me their robots before launch to find out what real owners will think.
Brands I've tested for, run communities for, or both
What I do for brands
You get the same feedback your own QA team would give you, from a real house with real floors, plus a direct line to thousands of owners.

Running your community
Official owner groups managed day to day: setup questions answered, arguments settled, spam removed, and the useful posts pushed to the top.
Beta testing
Pre-launch units in real homes and real yards, with structured notes on what broke, what confused people, and what to fix before you ship.
Finding owners where you need them
Need twenty testers with steep lawns in Canada, or pet owners in the Southwest? The groups reach real owners in specific regions, fast.
App and UI feedback
Where the setup flow stalls, which settings are buried too deep, and what an owner sees when something goes wrong at 11pm.
Content and honest reviews
Hands-on photos, video and write-ups showing how a product actually performs. The honesty is why owners trust the recommendation.
