Wow, "Worx Landroid" caught my attention at first, but then I stumbled upon the Segway Navimow robotic lawnmower. It's a game-changer! I've been searching for a lawnmower without perimeter wires for so long, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to try the Navimow. Its convenience and efficiency surpassed my expectations. Highly recommend giving it a shot!
I have a front and back lawn. Is it possible to leave the base station on the back and simply carry the mower around to the front, and have it mow that lawn without issue? Thanks.
Yes this will work, but just bear in mind that the mower is quite heavy at almost 14kg. For more info link below to my review easylawnmowing.co.uk/worx-landroid-vision-m600-review/ Thanks Mark
Very helpful video. Thank you! I am in the marked to find a birthday gift for my husband. The one thing that worries me that it avoided a leaf as an obstacle. Our property is located next to a forest and we walways have leaves on our lawn that should not be avoided. Is there a way to teach it to NOT avoid leaves? Thanks!
Hi. No there is no way to avoid leaves at this stage. Leaves will need to cleared from the lawn I’m afraid. WORX are always improving the firmware for this type of navigation, but as it stands it can not do this. Thanks Mark
Hi. Just been out to test a few leaves. So the Landroid detected and avoided leaves down to 5cm long 4cm wide. No it won’t mulch the leaves from my experience, it may put cuts or even cuts them into two but not mulch. The mower should be taken inside during the autumn/winter period. Even my boundary wire Landroid S300 will be taken inside in a month or so.
I have started to cut down some trees. I will have to see what leaves the lawn gets from the other trees I have. I can't cut them all down just to be lazy mowing.@@mikaelfahlstrom2090
This is my question/concern as well. I think that this mower looks promising, but my lawn always has leaves on it as we have many tress on our property. If this mover avoids most leaves then I do not think that this mower is an option for someone like me?
Great review, one thing missing IMHO, is how happy are you with the "edge" cutting, it does still leave a big gap for my liking, based on what I see in your footage. Thx for your work !
Hi, Thanks for your comment. I understand your concerns about robotic mowers not being able to cut completely to the edge, especially if the lawn isn't level with the path or driveway. This is a common challenge with many models. However, some newer GPS (RTK) models are designed with edge-cutting capabilities or additional features to address this issue. It might be worth exploring these options or considering a combination of a robotic mower for the main lawn and a manual trimmer for the edges. Good luck with your search!
Great question! While some robotic mowers are capable of handling small amounts of leaves, it's generally recommended to rake up larger piles of leaves before mowing. Here are a few reasons why: Cutting Efficiency: If there are too many leaves on the lawn, the mower may struggle to cut the grass effectively. This can lead to uneven mowing and may even clog the blades. Mulching: If the leaves are thinly scattered, many robotic mowers can mulch them as they mow, which can be beneficial for the lawn. However, if there are thick layers of leaves, it's better to remove them first. Potential Damage: Large piles of leaves can obstruct the mower's sensors and navigation, potentially causing it to get stuck or miss areas of the lawn. For the best results, it's a good idea to clear away any significant leaf buildup before letting your robotic mower do its job.
Hi Mark. Do you have any experience on how the landroid Vision tackles dandelions? Our lawn has quite a few and if they are seen as obstacles I will run into trouble (or the Landroid will) ☺️
Hi, I'm not too sure and would not be able to test this. I believe it would "lean" to ignore them and would cut them. They are constantly updating and enhance this mower and some of the enhancements can be seen here - ua-cam.com/video/jOef0c9ai_U/v-deo.htmlsi=StKuTVJSWXcS-tWW
Thanks, one question, can I bring the mover to a second house, like a summerplace. Would I need to reconfigure the whole thing, or can it run on mulitible lawns? Thanks
Can you tell us what happens when you set the mower on an hard surface, but not close to the border of the lawn on the left. Like, if it's positioned to start in the middle of the lawn?
Hi if I understand correctly, this setup will not work (the mower will not find the charge station). The mower needs to see the QR code on the charging station as it navigates around the perimeter of the lawn. My video shows the 3 positions the charge station can be set up. Thanks Mark
Great video, I’ve been looking at this, would you recommend this over a Greenworks 40v 41cmG40LM41K2X or G-tec CLM50 cordless electric. My garden isn’t that big 200 sq and can you pick it up to mow the front lawn or do you have to bring the charging station round.
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. Yes you can just put on the front lawn and let it mow. When the battery finishes, you will need to return to the charger. Just remember this mower is not light, at around 15KG, so will be a little heavy to do this on a regular basis. thanks Mark
Thank you for your question! The Worx Landroid Vision robotic mower is designed to handle various garden conditions, including those with deciduous trees and leaves. However, its performance may vary depending on the volume and frequency of leaf fall. Here are a few points to consider: Leaf Management: While the Landroid Vision can navigate through leaves, a thick layer of leaves might obstruct its sensors or cutting mechanism. It's a good practice to periodically clear excessive leaves from the lawn to ensure optimal performance. Adjustable Cutting Height: The mower allows you to adjust the cutting height, which can help in managing a lawn with leaves. By setting a higher cutting height, you can prevent the mower from getting clogged with leaves. Scheduling: You can set the mower to operate more frequently during the fall when leaf drop is at its peak. This can help in managing the leaves more effectively. Overall, while the Worx Landroid Vision can handle some leaves, maintaining your lawn by occasionally removing excess leaves will ensure the best performance of the mower.
I think it really depends on what is the other side of the lawn, so for example where I had plants level with the boundary, the mower would swerve out slightly from the edge. You can see from the video the amount of grass left when it was cutting the side of the lawn where the stones are. There is going to be some trimming that is going to need to be done. This is not to say that future firmware updates will change / improve this. Thanks Mark
Hi the tech is changing so fast, I'm looking for a purchase in the US in June 2024, are there any new products on the was, I want to stay under 2k, I have a flat lawn with trees, on 1/2 acre but I'm really only using it to cut the rear so I only need it to cut around .25 acre.....what top 3 do you think I need to research?
Hi, I you could the budget a little I would have a look at the Luba 2 AWD1000. Alternatively the vision range are also good to consider depending on your boundary. Alternatively if you are happy to lay a boundary wire, then I would recommend the WORX landroid WR155E. Not sure if this would be the same model number in the US. FYI - I am just about to test the Luba 2, so watch this space if you want to see it in action. Thanks Mark
Why can’t the charging station be away from the lawn? I have a covered area on the drive that would be out of sight. This would have been my preference.
Hi thanks for your positive feedback, much appreciated, no the Landroid vision will work in a random pattern. For stripes you would need a robotic mower that has satellite guidance (RTK), such as the Luba or Yuka. Link below easylawnmowing.co.uk/luba-2-awd-review/ easylawnmowing.co.uk/mammotion-yuka-review/
I see the obstacle avoidance works but it doesn't go around the obstacle and carry on its original trajectory just shoots off in a random direction . How does it know its covered the whole lawn?
Hi, if the boundary is level, say the grass and path are level then it will do a good job. If not, say along a fence or wall then it will leave around 8 -10 cm that will need to be trimmed.
I have a regular Landroid with the boundary wire. Been very happy with both the product and the company. It’s been 4 years now. When the time comes for a new one I’d be interested in the Landroid vision but I have one major question….how does it handle the cement public sidewalk vs. the cement walkway that goes up to my front door and splits my front yard in two? I would not want it to cross the sidewalk but I would want it to cross the walkway.
Hi, this would not be a problem as the mower would not cross any path/sidewalk unless there is an RFID tag on each side of the path to instruct it to do so. Hope this helps.
@@EasyLawnMowing Having the little green circles laying in my front yard seems like it would maybe be a bit weird? Does the grass basically grow around them and they become basically unnoticeable? They look like kind of a bright green rather than a grass green. Thanks a lot for the reply. At least I know it’s doable. I’d be a bit concerned about the boundary strip along my neighbors yard as well partly for the same reason as it’s also the front yard and because they have a lawn service with riding machines that make u-turns right there.
Yes it needs to "see" the RFID green circles (and the no go boundary wire) in order to navigate. So unlike the traditional robotic mower boundary wire that normally sinks/disappears into the lawn, these cannot. The mower will keep the grass down over both the tags and no go wire so will always be on display. Have you considered GPS/RTK guided?
@@EasyLawnMowing It seems like that would be more viable for a no boundary wire model. I’ve just had some good support experiences with WORX as a company so would prefer to stay with them. For example, my current Landroid I thought was waterproof. Turns out it’s only waterproof on the top. I sprayed it off on the underside and the next day there was condensation on the inside of the screen and then it eventually stopped working. It was well outside of warranty. I called WORX, told them my story. They are easy and agreeable to talk to like a normal person, and not like I’m talking to somebody who has no knowledge or authority. He said they’d take care of it for me and he sent me a box AND a shipping label and they repaired him for free. Was only without him for about a week.
Beautiful garden and great review. You just convince us to buy it!!! Could I ask you for the name of the white trees you have at the edge of the garden. They are gorgeous!!!! Thanks a lot!!
Thank you so much for your positive comments, much appreciated. The lollypop trees that run along the edge of the path are Salix Flamingo trees. I cut them back quite hard each year, just before winter kicks in. Thanks again Mark
I believe a slight slope should be fine as long as the change of incline is not immediately in front of the charge station and the mower can dock level (on the slope).
Yes it can avoid obstacles on the lawn, as long as IT can "see them". In terms of navigation, this mower uses a random mowing pattern unlike a GPS (RTK) guided robotic mower.
I already owned an M600 before seeing your review. Quite agree with you on all points though my lawn is much more challenging than yours (with curves and slopes) On your recommendation I bought the 40Ah battery and that was a great call - thank you. There has been a firmware update since your review and the mower is much better at recognising leaves as "mowable" and not trying to mow its own base at the start of the cycle. Unfortunately it still persists in ignoring the magnetic strips if not in a dead-straight line. I have one question though which I am finding difficult to get an answer to - is the WA0864 radio link module compatible with this particular model and is it worth the £150 price tag?
Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad the 40Ah battery recommendation worked well for you. Regarding your question, the WA0864 radio link module is not compatible with the M600. Hope this helps!
There are definitely more affordable options out there, and I'd be happy to help you explore those if you're interested. If you have any specific requirements or features in mind, just let me know!
Bonjour, j'ai la version WR216E et je ne trouve pas le menu SETUP RADIO LINK pour la configuration du module Radio Link. Saurirez-vous m'aider? merci d'avance
Bonjour, le module Radio Link est belle et bien prévu sur ce modèle. Vous pouvez le voir en dessous de la plaque orange à droite où c'est écrit L VISION. Ce que je ne comprend pas c'est que pour configurer le module en question, il faut sélectionner le menu SETUP RADIO LINK que je ne trouve pas.

Nice review. it would be very helpful to know how it works on slopes. I have a sloping yard where my current Landroid does have it problems navigating.

1. What do you think the lifespan of a robot lawnmower is? 2. What happens if some of these newer companies go out of business, will the robot lawnmower continue to work or does it need the company to operate?
Hi Thanks for your question. Robotic mowers should last for years with only the blades being replaced periodically. The lifespan of a robot lawnmower can vary significantly based on several factors, including the quality of the product, frequency of use, maintenance, and the complexity of the environment in which it operates. Typically, with proper maintenance, a robot lawnmower can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. Here are some factors that can affect the lifespan of a robot lawnmower: Build Quality: Higher-end models built with quality materials and components may last longer than budget models. Usage: The more frequently the lawnmower is used, the more wear and tear it will experience. For example, a robot lawnmower used daily will have a shorter lifespan than one used once a week. Maintenance: Regular cleaning, blade replacement, and battery care can extend the life of the robot lawnmower. Battery Life: Most robot lawnmowers are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The lifespan of these batteries can range from 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and care, and they are typically replaceable. Software Updates: Manufacturers may provide software updates that can improve performance and sometimes extend the life of the product by optimising its operation. Terrain: The type of terrain the robot lawnmower is used on can also affect its lifespan. Operating on rough or sloped terrain can put more strain on the motors and wheels. Storage: Proper storage during off-season periods, particularly in winter, can protect the robot lawnmower from extreme temperatures and moisture, which can prolong its life. To maximise the lifespan of a robot lawnmower, it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for use, maintenance, and storage. Regularly replacing consumable parts like blades and taking care of the battery will also help ensure the lawnmower operates effectively for as long as possible. If the manufacture goes out of business, the mower will continue work up to the point where it goes mechanically wrong and spare parts are required. There will of course be no firmware or app updates, so no bug fixes and enhancements. Thanks Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing wow that was way more of a thorough answer than I expected. Thank you so much! I’m considering the LUBA 2 because I have a spinal injury and for over a decade the work has been a task for my wife. She has finally agreed to consider a robot lawnmower now that the robot vacuum has proved itself to be useful 😂. I’m trying to find ways to reduce her workload. We are in 🇨🇦 so the lawn season is about 6-7 months. The reason I’m considering the LUBA is because I don’t like random cutting patterns even though I know it would get the job done AND we are planning to move so I don’t really want anything with boundary wires. Originally I was considering one of the lower end Worx models because liked the interchangeable battery and I was thinking that robot lawnmowers are going to have a significant improvement in the next 3-5 years but in all honesty it just needs to cut the grass and make our lives easier. Thanks again for your previous reply! Have a great day.
So with the edge trim, do it go right up to the very edge of the lawn, it looked about 20cm from the edge? So you still need to get the trimmer/ whipper-snipper out to tidy up areas and the edges? Thanks.😊
Very good review, I have a question, if I have leaves on the grass because I have a lot of trees, does it still work to have this landroid vision? I would choose this model because I don't have to install the perimeter area
If you have lots of leaves on the lawn, then this mower is not for you as it stands at the moment. Worx are constantly improving the firmware and app and they may address this in the future like they did with stepping stones on the lawn. ua-cam.com/video/2cVfmrrcLW0/v-deo.htmlsi=3FYoF76LyM0h3V9S
Thanks a lot for the review. I saw it's advertisement yesterday and looking for some more information as I have very specific fence, not too big (300 so in reality grass is only 200m2) but complicated. I also found some comment that it is still in beta fase, but As I understand your review you would recommend this robot right?
Hi, thanks. The mower works very well on my lawn as it's well defined. The firmware and app are continually being improved, such as the stepping stone update that many have asking for. So, this mower will continue to improve over time with additional functionality added and issues resolved for those with more complex lawns and gardens. You can see some updates here ua-cam.com/video/jOef0c9ai_U/v-deo.htmlsi=StKuTVJSWXcS-tWW Thanks Mark
Did Lillie get a treat afterwards? Little star indeed! Great review BTW so many thanks. I've bought the 800M2 so thought I'd watch a video whilst the package is making its way over :)
@@EasyLawnMowing Thanks for the prompt reply. Just for clarity ( I don’t want to buy the wrong machine) it’s not the width that I’m worried about, will it work out how to negotiate the gap?
Thanks for your comment. Yes it is early days for both vision and GPS (RTK) robotic mowers, however they are improving all of the time, this WORX has already had an update making it cut closer to the edge.
For the Worx Vision robotic mower, which uses a camera and doesn't require boundary wires, you'll want to ensure that the camera has a clear view of your lawn. Let it map out the terrain and learn the boundaries and obstacles as it mows.
@@EasyLawnMowingTengo un problema,cuando mando al robot a la base de carga desde el móvil o desde el botón del robot no sabe dónde está la base y tengo que moverlo yo cerca de la base
I'm going into this, partial to the Luba, especially with the Luba2 just coming out. However, with you ranking this higher (than the original Luba) I'll go ahead and watch this and see what I think afterwards.
I should have the Luba 2 mid April and will do a full review. With the added camera, I can see this one working well in most environments and garden layouts.
Fantastic review! What I'm still unclear on is how it would handle situation like mine. I have a larger fenced back yard, and I think I can likely turn the Landroid Vision loose in that yard with no issues. I'm not clear on whether I can use it with my front lawn, though. Even if I set up zones with the RFID tags, I keep the gates that connect my back yard to my front yard closed so my dogs don't get loose. I think I would want to let it do its thing autonomously in the back yard, but task it to do the front yard (or one of the two sides of the front yard bifurcated by the driveway) on an ad hoc basis when I could let it out of the back yard myself, ensuring the dogs stay safe. That doesn't really seem feasible to me based on your review. I'm actually now considering a Vision for the back yard and a non-Vision for the front. Thoughts?
Hi, thanks you your positive feedback, glad the video has helped. I think you are right to be practical, you could use the Vision on the rear and perhaps a traditional wired robotic mower on the front. This is exactly how I have it with the WORX landroid on the front and the Vision on the rear. It may not look it but the mower is heavy to lift. The other option would be to go for GPS guided mower, such as the Luba, but again it would need access to the front lawn to be completely autonomous. There is a link below to the Luba, the video shows it navigating between both my lawns. Hope this helps Mark easylawnmowing.co.uk/luba-awd-5000-review/
Can this Landroid Vision run completely without WiFi signal AND without using a Smartphone App, when it is first configured properly and firmware updated using one ? Can the WiFi be disabled so it does not search for the non existing WiFi all the time - so it does not transmit any wireless signals in normal use ?
Yes, you can use the control panel on the Landroid vision to start the mower and set the schedule (once setup and linked) . To get the best out of the mower it would be good to extend your WIFI signal to cover the mowing area. I used this mower on my neighbour's lawn without WIFI and worked fine. Thanks Mark
I hope that with the advancement of machine intelligence, it will just know my lawn and I can paint off limits strips with the iphone app. As if it was VR goggles painting the boundary. So that i don't need physical fencing (by wire or magnetic strip) at all.
Great point. You can do this to some extent with GPS (RTK) we’re you drive the mower around the lawn once and the boundary is drab on the app. Take a look at the Luba mower from Mammotion.
hi mark thanks great review, i believe the app lawn perimeter definition is misleading i thought the mower would stay inside the aperimeter as defined but unless you fix magnetic strips it will go outside the defined perimeter. i have a very complex garden therefore i have to buy at least 100 mt of no go. i believed perimeter definition by app was enough to create the boundaries to be mowed. thanks
Hi, If the mower can see the boundary then there will no problem. If you see from my video, I want to stop the mower going into part of my lawn (no physical boundary for the mower to see) so you will need to use the magnetic strip. This is expensive, so not particle for very large areas. GPS/RTK guided mowers have a defined boundary with no need for additional strips to define no go areas - these robotic mowers are a lot more expensive. thanks Mark
I can't find the review on how it fared on your neighbours property. Luba mowers appear to be experiencing many software related issues on various Facebook user groups.
Hi, the Luba on my neighbours lawn is working extremely well, so much so that he has decided to keep it. Yes there have been some teething issues with the new app update, but these have been addressed very quickly by Mammotion, and they continue to listen to the users and make enhancements. Thanks Mark
Glad i watched this. I have the m700 and this dosnt look like its worth the money. For the price and with its "vision" it should be able to cut efficiency in straight linrs back and forth, not just bouncing around randomly.
Hi thanks for your feedback. Yes, true but you would then be looking looking at a GPS/RTK model (like the Luba - ua-cam.com/video/MLFmSsTeyHk/v-deo.html) that would cost significantly more. thanks Mark
Think of the mower as continuously mowing the the lawn taking a small amount off the length of grass each time. The schedule can be set in the Worx app.
What's the point of buying this vision model (which is x3 the price of the regular one btw) if the first thing you do in your garden is set up a boundary wire? This is just silly
Hi thanks for your comment. If I was cutting all of my lawn I would not have needed to lay the out of bounds wire. I just wanted to demonstrate and test how well it worked. Thanks
Excellent information. I think you should get a commission from Worx. I believe I will now buy a vision mower. I have two lawns at two addresses and it looks like I can transport the vision mower from one location to the other and it will mow both of them with hopefully zero or minimal problems. I may end up buying a base station for each location and hopefully I will be good to go. Thank you very much. If you see something wrong with what I am wanting to do please let me know. Thanks again.
Thanks for your positive feedback. Sounds good to me. Just bare in mind, for some, the mower may be a little heavy and awkward to lift at around 15kg. Thanks Mark
I wanted to buy this - but after seeing the mess its made of your garden and the fact that it goes nowhere near the edge - I 100% won't be buying now. Thanks for warning me off this. Back to the drawing board finding a decent robotic mower.
Hi, Thanks for your comment. I understand your concerns about robotic mowers not being able to cut completely to the edge, especially if the lawn isn't level with the path or driveway. This is a common challenge with many models. However, some newer GPS (RTK) models are designed with edge-cutting capabilities or additional features to address this issue. It might be worth exploring these options or considering a combination of a robotic mower for the main lawn and a manual trimmer for the edges. Your feedback is valuable and helps in making an informed decision. Good luck with your search for the perfect solution!
There has been a firmware update since this video that can be configured to go closer to the edge. However, unless you have the lawn level with the path, there will always be some trimming to do, as with the majority of robotic mowers. Mark
Thanks for your comment. I did say in the video, like all robotic mowers, there will be some trimming to do. Having said that, WORX have just released and update for the Landroid Vision that allows the mower to cut over the edge. Thanks
To quote someone on a forum: "Edge cutting as advertised will not work even with 100 updates because the mower deck is positioned incorrectly." The L1300 and L1600 are both 487 mm wide, and have 22cm cutting width leaving 133mm uncut, M600 and M800 even more.@@EasyLawnMowing
Honestly it’s really fine, especially for the sake of a demonstration and complete review like this one (fantastic work btw @EasyLawnMowing ) I’ve had the M800 for a year and a half now, I own three cats which all spend 90% of the day floating around the garden and sleeping sprawled out on the lawn. We have never ever seen anything that gives us even the slightest reason to be concerned about the mower running unsupervised while the cats are able to roam freely into the garden day or night through their cat flap. Trust me, if there was a risk to cats and small dogs, it would be in the best interest of Worx to warn pet owners of risks. Really, it’s totally safe, and I think the video demonstrating this will reassure a lot of pet owners. Obviously I wouldn’t let a hamster roam the lawn, or even a guinea pig, though even in this case unless the hamster/guinea pig is deaf and blind, it’s gonna see and hear this great big machine coming towards it in slow motion, and it’ll scurry out the way. Remember the mower moves sloooow, I’m sure the doggo in the video only stayed put because it trusts its owner and obeyed when instructed to stay, I’m sure in a real world scenario his doggo would just casually move out the way as the mower lazily gets closer, by which time the mower has already detected an obstacle and started re-routing. I’m extremely critical of this model series after owning one for so long and experiencing a LOT of problems with it, but I cant’t fault it for safety around pets like cats and small dogs, or heck even a small child! 😂
I believe a slight slope should be fine as long as the change of incline is not immediately in front of the charge station and the mower can dock level (on the slope).
Thank you for your kind words! I understand that budget can be a concern. There are definitely more affordable options out there, and I'd be happy to help you explore those if you're interested. If you have any specific requirements or features in mind, just let me know!
Fantastic review and BEAUTIFUL property!
Thank you kindly!
Wow, "Worx Landroid" caught my attention at first, but then I stumbled upon the Segway Navimow robotic lawnmower. It's a game-changer! I've been searching for a lawnmower without perimeter wires for so long, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to try the Navimow. Its convenience and efficiency surpassed my expectations. Highly recommend giving it a shot!
Thanks for your view on the Segway.
Great and really comprehensive review, thanks Mark! Beautiful garden too
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. Mark
Legend has it Lillie is still sitting in position 😅
Hi thanks! Yes I had already tested with a soft toy so was confident all was good. Please don't tell the wife, I'll be in deep trouble 😓
Bless lily for being such a good dog. Great review!
Thank you!! 😊
Fantastic work! Thank you, sir!
Thank you kindly!
I have a front and back lawn. Is it possible to leave the base station on the back and simply carry the mower around to the front, and have it mow that lawn without issue? Thanks.
Yes this will work, but just bear in mind that the mower is quite heavy at almost 14kg. For more info link below to my review easylawnmowing.co.uk/worx-landroid-vision-m600-review/
Thanks Mark
Very helpful video. Thank you! I am in the marked to find a birthday gift for my husband. The one thing that worries me that it avoided a leaf as an obstacle. Our property is located next to a forest and we walways have leaves on our lawn that should not be avoided. Is there a way to teach it to NOT avoid leaves? Thanks!
Hi. No there is no way to avoid leaves at this stage. Leaves will need to cleared from the lawn I’m afraid. WORX are always improving the firmware for this type of navigation, but as it stands it can not do this. Thanks Mark
It avoided the leaf, but what happens when the leaves start to fall as they are now? Can it mulch them?
Hi. Just been out to test a few leaves. So the Landroid detected and avoided leaves down to 5cm long 4cm wide. No it won’t mulch the leaves from my experience, it may put cuts or even cuts them into two but not mulch. The mower should be taken inside during the autumn/winter period. Even my boundary wire Landroid S300 will be taken inside in a month or so.
I have a vision L1300 and it mulch the leaves if they arent really big leaves
I have started to cut down some trees. I will have to see what leaves the lawn gets from the other trees I have. I can't cut them all down just to be lazy mowing.@@mikaelfahlstrom2090
This is my question/concern as well. I think that this mower looks promising, but my lawn always has leaves on it as we have many tress on our property. If this mover avoids most leaves then I do not think that this mower is an option for someone like me?
Great review, one thing missing IMHO, is how happy are you with the "edge" cutting, it does still leave a big gap for my liking, based on what I see in your footage. Thx for your work !
Hi, Thanks for your comment. I understand your concerns about robotic mowers not being able to cut completely to the edge, especially if the lawn isn't level with the path or driveway. This is a common challenge with many models. However, some newer GPS (RTK) models are designed with edge-cutting capabilities or additional features to address this issue. It might be worth exploring these options or considering a combination of a robotic mower for the main lawn and a manual trimmer for the edges.
Good luck with your search!
Question , when the leaves come off the trees, as they do all over on my lawn, do you have to rake them up first .
Great question! While some robotic mowers are capable of handling small amounts of leaves, it's generally recommended to rake up larger piles of leaves before mowing. Here are a few reasons why:
Cutting Efficiency: If there are too many leaves on the lawn, the mower may struggle to cut the grass effectively. This can lead to uneven mowing and may even clog the blades.
Mulching: If the leaves are thinly scattered, many robotic mowers can mulch them as they mow, which can be beneficial for the lawn. However, if there are thick layers of leaves, it's better to remove them first.
Potential Damage: Large piles of leaves can obstruct the mower's sensors and navigation, potentially causing it to get stuck or miss areas of the lawn.
For the best results, it's a good idea to clear away any significant leaf buildup before letting your robotic mower do its job.
Excellent and well-presented review! Thank you so much for providing this content.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your positive feedback.
Mark
Great job on the review! 👏
Glad you liked it!
Hi Mark. Do you have any experience on how the landroid Vision tackles dandelions? Our lawn has quite a few and if they are seen as obstacles I will run into trouble (or the Landroid will) ☺️
Hi, I'm not too sure and would not be able to test this. I believe it would "lean" to ignore them and would cut them. They are constantly updating and enhance this mower and some of the enhancements can be seen here - ua-cam.com/video/jOef0c9ai_U/v-deo.htmlsi=StKuTVJSWXcS-tWW
👍👍 Absolutely first class demonstration 👌👌
Thanks so much for your feedback.
Thanks, one question, can I bring the mover to a second house, like a summerplace. Would I need to reconfigure the whole thing, or can it run on mulitible lawns? Thanks
Hi, no reconfiguration, just drop on the second lawn and off it goes. Mark
Can you tell us what happens when you set the mower on an hard surface, but not close to the border of the lawn on the left. Like, if it's positioned to start in the middle of the lawn?
Hi if I understand correctly, this setup will not work (the mower will not find the charge station). The mower needs to see the QR code on the charging station as it navigates around the perimeter of the lawn. My video shows the 3 positions the charge station can be set up. Thanks Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing thanks fo the answer.
Great video, I’ve been looking at this, would you recommend this over a Greenworks 40v 41cmG40LM41K2X or G-tec CLM50 cordless electric. My garden isn’t that big 200 sq and can you pick it up to mow the front lawn or do you have to bring the charging station round.
Hi, Thanks for your feedback.
Yes you can just put on the front lawn and let it mow. When the battery finishes, you will need to return to the charger. Just remember this mower is not light, at around 15KG, so will be a little heavy to do this on a regular basis.
thanks
Mark
A very comprehensive review thanks. My garden has quite a number of deciduous trees which lots of leaves. Can the machine be adjusted to cope them?
Thank you for your question! The Worx Landroid Vision robotic mower is designed to handle various garden conditions, including those with deciduous trees and leaves. However, its performance may vary depending on the volume and frequency of leaf fall. Here are a few points to consider:
Leaf Management: While the Landroid Vision can navigate through leaves, a thick layer of leaves might obstruct its sensors or cutting mechanism. It's a good practice to periodically clear excessive leaves from the lawn to ensure optimal performance.
Adjustable Cutting Height: The mower allows you to adjust the cutting height, which can help in managing a lawn with leaves. By setting a higher cutting height, you can prevent the mower from getting clogged with leaves.
Scheduling: You can set the mower to operate more frequently during the fall when leaf drop is at its peak. This can help in managing the leaves more effectively.
Overall, while the Worx Landroid Vision can handle some leaves, maintaining your lawn by occasionally removing excess leaves will ensure the best performance of the mower.
where can I find a robot that actually cut vs ones that are on already cut lawn?
Hi, I'm not too sure as these would be more commercial mowers used by councils and on farm land. thanks
Regarding the edge mowing can you be a bit more specific? How close does the mower get to the edges?
I think it really depends on what is the other side of the lawn, so for example where I had plants level with the boundary, the mower would swerve out slightly from the edge. You can see from the video the amount of grass left when it was cutting the side of the lawn where the stones are. There is going to be some trimming that is going to need to be done. This is not to say that future firmware updates will change / improve this. Thanks Mark
Great video!👍
Thank you! 👍
Hi the tech is changing so fast, I'm looking for a purchase in the US in June 2024, are there any new products on the was, I want to stay under 2k, I have a flat lawn with trees, on 1/2 acre but I'm really only using it to cut the rear so I only need it to cut around .25 acre.....what top 3 do you think I need to research?
Hi, I you could the budget a little I would have a look at the Luba 2 AWD1000. Alternatively the vision range are also good to consider depending on your boundary. Alternatively if you are happy to lay a boundary wire, then I would recommend the WORX landroid WR155E. Not sure if this would be the same model number in the US. FYI - I am just about to test the Luba 2, so watch this space if you want to see it in action. Thanks Mark
Why can’t the charging station be away from the lawn? I have a covered area on the drive that would be out of sight. This would have been my preference.
Great Video - once it learns the perimeter and obstacles, can you teach it to mow in a striped pattern? I'm really into the appearance of stripes.
Hi thanks for your positive feedback, much appreciated, no the Landroid vision will work in a random pattern. For stripes you would need a robotic mower that has satellite guidance (RTK), such as the Luba or Yuka. Link below
easylawnmowing.co.uk/luba-2-awd-review/
easylawnmowing.co.uk/mammotion-yuka-review/
I see the obstacle avoidance works but it doesn't go around the obstacle and carry on its original trajectory just shoots off in a random direction .
How does it know its covered the whole lawn?
Hi, yes it does mow in a random patten, just like the majority of boundary wire models. This WORX robotic mower completed my 500msq lawn in 3 days.
How well did it cut the normal boundry along your property?
Hi, if the boundary is level, say the grass and path are level then it will do a good job. If not, say along a fence or wall then it will leave around 8 -10 cm that will need to be trimmed.
I have a regular Landroid with the boundary wire. Been very happy with both the product and the company. It’s been 4 years now. When the time comes for a new one I’d be interested in the Landroid vision but I have one major question….how does it handle the cement public sidewalk vs. the cement walkway that goes up to my front door and splits my front yard in two? I would not want it to cross the sidewalk but I would want it to cross the walkway.
Hi, this would not be a problem as the mower would not cross any path/sidewalk unless there is an RFID tag on each side of the path to instruct it to do so. Hope this helps.
@@EasyLawnMowing Having the little green circles laying in my front yard seems like it would maybe be a bit weird? Does the grass basically grow around them and they become basically unnoticeable? They look like kind of a bright green rather than a grass green. Thanks a lot for the reply. At least I know it’s doable.
I’d be a bit concerned about the boundary strip along my neighbors yard as well partly for the same reason as it’s also the front yard and because they have a lawn service with riding machines that make u-turns right there.
Yes it needs to "see" the RFID green circles (and the no go boundary wire) in order to navigate. So unlike the traditional robotic mower boundary wire that normally sinks/disappears into the lawn, these cannot. The mower will keep the grass down over both the tags and no go wire so will always be on display. Have you considered GPS/RTK guided?
@@EasyLawnMowing It seems like that would be more viable for a no boundary wire model. I’ve just had some good support experiences with WORX as a company so would prefer to stay with them.
For example, my current Landroid I thought was waterproof. Turns out it’s only waterproof on the top. I sprayed it off on the underside and the next day there was condensation on the inside of the screen and then it eventually stopped working. It was well outside of warranty. I called WORX, told them my story. They are easy and agreeable to talk to like a normal person, and not like I’m talking to somebody who has no knowledge or authority. He said they’d take care of it for me and he sent me a box AND a shipping label and they repaired him for free. Was only without him for about a week.
Can the GPS ones do both the front and backyard with no line of sight between the two?
Is there a range on the RFID tags. I'd have 3 different areas to mow. Is it possible for it to move between these on tarmac?
Hi. Take a look at the rfid part this video. ua-cam.com/video/BveF7To3p9M/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared. Hope this helps.
Beautiful garden and great review. You just convince us to buy it!!! Could I ask you for the name of the white trees you have at the edge of the garden. They are gorgeous!!!! Thanks a lot!!
Thank you so much for your positive comments, much appreciated. The lollypop trees that run along the edge of the path are Salix Flamingo trees. I cut them back quite hard each year, just before winter kicks in. Thanks again Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing Thank you for sharing it with us!!!! They look beautiful.
Does the charging station need to be level? Or can it be installed on a (slight) slope?
I believe a slight slope should be fine as long as the change of incline is not immediately in front of the charge station and the mower can dock level (on the slope).
Can it navigate around hoses and sprinklers?
Yes it can avoid obstacles on the lawn, as long as IT can "see them". In terms of navigation, this mower uses a random mowing pattern unlike a GPS (RTK) guided robotic mower.
Hello Mark, great review. I was just wondering how does the Vision cope with leaves during the Fall
Thank you, yes the leaves will need to be cleared as it will detect them and try to avoid.
I already owned an M600 before seeing your review. Quite agree with you on all points though my lawn is much more challenging than yours (with curves and slopes) On your recommendation I bought the 40Ah battery and that was a great call - thank you. There has been a firmware update since your review and the mower is much better at recognising leaves as "mowable" and not trying to mow its own base at the start of the cycle. Unfortunately it still persists in ignoring the magnetic strips if not in a dead-straight line. I have one question though which I am finding difficult to get an answer to - is the WA0864 radio link module compatible with this particular model and is it worth the £150 price tag?
Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad the 40Ah battery recommendation worked well for you. Regarding your question, the WA0864 radio link module is not compatible with the M600. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the review! Still looking for something a bit more affordable.
There are definitely more affordable options out there, and I'd be happy to help you explore those if you're interested. If you have any specific requirements or features in mind, just let me know!
Bonjour, j'ai la version WR216E et je ne trouve pas le menu SETUP RADIO LINK pour la configuration du module Radio Link. Saurirez-vous m'aider? merci d'avance
Hi, I did not think the RadioLink module fits into the WR216E. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks
Bonjour, le module Radio Link est belle et bien prévu sur ce modèle. Vous pouvez le voir en dessous de la plaque orange à droite où c'est écrit L VISION. Ce que je ne comprend pas c'est que pour configurer le module en question, il faut sélectionner le menu SETUP RADIO LINK que je ne trouve pas.

Hello, how long does the battery last for mowing once charged??
Hi, the M600 WR206E has the smallest battery 2.0Ah and will run for around 40-50 min before going back to recharge. Thanks Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing OK thanks a lot its the same for me ...! It is short 🙄
Nice review. it would be very helpful to know how it works on slopes. I have a sloping yard where my current Landroid does have it problems navigating.
Great suggestion! I will test all future robotic mowers on more demand conditions (slopes) on my neighbours lawn.
many thanks
Mark
Awesome review! Just wish it was a bit cheaper for my budget right now. 😅
Thank you for your kind words! I understand that budget can be a concern. There are definitely more affordable options out there, and I'd be happy to help you explore those if you're interested. If you have any specific requirements or features in mind, just let me know!
It avoided a leaf? So...I have to remove every single leaf off of my yard before I can send it out?
Yes, at the moment. Updates are coming like the stepping stone enhancement - ua-cam.com/video/jOef0c9ai_U/v-deo.htmlsi=StKuTVJSWXcS-tWW
1. What do you think the lifespan of a robot lawnmower is?
2. What happens if some of these newer companies go out of business, will the robot lawnmower continue to work or does it need the company to operate?
Hi
Thanks for your question. Robotic mowers should last for years with only the blades being replaced periodically.
The lifespan of a robot lawnmower can vary significantly based on several factors, including the quality of the product, frequency of use, maintenance, and the complexity of the environment in which it operates. Typically, with proper maintenance, a robot lawnmower can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years.
Here are some factors that can affect the lifespan of a robot lawnmower:
Build Quality: Higher-end models built with quality materials and components may last longer than budget models.
Usage: The more frequently the lawnmower is used, the more wear and tear it will experience. For example, a robot lawnmower used daily will have a shorter lifespan than one used once a week.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning, blade replacement, and battery care can extend the life of the robot lawnmower.
Battery Life: Most robot lawnmowers are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The lifespan of these batteries can range from 3 to 5 years, depending on usage and care, and they are typically replaceable.
Software Updates: Manufacturers may provide software updates that can improve performance and sometimes extend the life of the product by optimising its operation.
Terrain: The type of terrain the robot lawnmower is used on can also affect its lifespan. Operating on rough or sloped terrain can put more strain on the motors and wheels.
Storage: Proper storage during off-season periods, particularly in winter, can protect the robot lawnmower from extreme temperatures and moisture, which can prolong its life.
To maximise the lifespan of a robot lawnmower, it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for use, maintenance, and storage. Regularly replacing consumable parts like blades and taking care of the battery will also help ensure the lawnmower operates effectively for as long as possible.
If the manufacture goes out of business, the mower will continue work up to the point where it goes mechanically wrong and spare parts are required. There will of course be no firmware or app updates, so no bug fixes and enhancements.
Thanks
Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing wow that was way more of a thorough answer than I expected. Thank you so much!
I’m considering the LUBA 2 because I have a spinal injury and for over a decade the work has been a task for my wife. She has finally agreed to consider a robot lawnmower now that the robot vacuum has proved itself to be useful 😂. I’m trying to find ways to reduce her workload. We are in 🇨🇦 so the lawn season is about 6-7 months.
The reason I’m considering the LUBA is because I don’t like random cutting patterns even though I know it would get the job done AND we are planning to move so I don’t really want anything with boundary wires. Originally I was considering one of the lower end Worx models because liked the interchangeable battery and I was thinking that robot lawnmowers are going to have a significant improvement in the next 3-5 years but in all honesty it just needs to cut the grass and make our lives easier.
Thanks again for your previous reply! Have a great day.
So with the edge trim, do it go right up to the very edge of the lawn, it looked about 20cm from the edge?
So you still need to get the trimmer/ whipper-snipper out to tidy up areas and the edges?
Thanks.😊
Yes you will still need to do some trimming, however it does go closer to the edge when performing its edge cut, thanks Mark
Very good review, I have a question, if I have leaves on the grass because I have a lot of trees, does it still work to have this landroid vision? I would choose this model because I don't have to install the perimeter area
If you have lots of leaves on the lawn, then this mower is not for you as it stands at the moment. Worx are constantly improving the firmware and app and they may address this in the future like they did with stepping stones on the lawn. ua-cam.com/video/2cVfmrrcLW0/v-deo.htmlsi=3FYoF76LyM0h3V9S
Ok, thank you for your reply, I will try to contact worx , can you recommend a mower for my case ?
Thanks a lot for the review. I saw it's advertisement yesterday and looking for some more information as I have very specific fence, not too big (300 so in reality grass is only 200m2) but complicated. I also found some comment that it is still in beta fase, but As I understand your review you would recommend this robot right?
Hi, thanks. The mower works very well on my lawn as it's well defined. The firmware and app are continually being improved, such as the stepping stone update that many have asking for. So, this mower will continue to improve over time with additional functionality added and issues resolved for those with more complex lawns and gardens.
You can see some updates here
ua-cam.com/video/jOef0c9ai_U/v-deo.htmlsi=StKuTVJSWXcS-tWW
Thanks

Did Lillie get a treat afterwards? Little star indeed! Great review BTW so many thanks. I've bought the 800M2 so thought I'd watch a video whilst the package is making its way over :)
Hi, yes she is always getting treats and an extra special one for putting herself in harms way. Thanks for the positive feedback. Mark
Excellent review thanks.
My garden is in two sections separated by a wooden arch 42 inches wide. Will it find its way through?
Hi Thanks for the feedback. Yes I'm sure it should have no problems with this width.
@@EasyLawnMowing
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Just for clarity ( I don’t want to buy the wrong machine) it’s not the width that I’m worried about, will it work out how to negotiate the gap?
Great review, very helpful
Many thanks
compare to a boundary this one is a step back! i regret upgrading to a camera one as they are waaayyy slower and stop cutting miles from the edge
Thanks for your comment. Yes it is early days for both vision and GPS (RTK) robotic mowers, however they are improving all of the time, this WORX has already had an update making it cut closer to the edge.
Serious question. How does this mower dog poo? This is the reason why I never considered a robo boundary wired mower before. Thanks.
Yes it will avoid so the grass will not be cut around the dog poo. The lawn will need to be kept clear for the robot mower. Thanks
Y que hay que hacer para que pueda aprenderse mi terreno?
For the Worx Vision robotic mower, which uses a camera and doesn't require boundary wires, you'll want to ensure that the camera has a clear view of your lawn. Let it map out the terrain and learn the boundaries and obstacles as it mows.
@@EasyLawnMowingTengo un problema,cuando mando al robot a la base de carga desde el móvil o desde el botón del robot no sabe dónde está la base y tengo que moverlo yo cerca de la base
😢
blimey, your dog is impeccably trained
Thanks :-)
I'm going into this, partial to the Luba, especially with the Luba2 just coming out. However, with you ranking this higher (than the original Luba) I'll go ahead and watch this and see what I think afterwards.
I'm also curious to watch a review, preferably by you, for the Yarbo M1 and the Ambrogio 4.36 elite rtk once they release later this spring 2024.
I should have the Luba 2 mid April and will do a full review. With the added camera, I can see this one working well in most environments and garden layouts.
Fantastic review! What I'm still unclear on is how it would handle situation like mine. I have a larger fenced back yard, and I think I can likely turn the Landroid Vision loose in that yard with no issues. I'm not clear on whether I can use it with my front lawn, though. Even if I set up zones with the RFID tags, I keep the gates that connect my back yard to my front yard closed so my dogs don't get loose.
I think I would want to let it do its thing autonomously in the back yard, but task it to do the front yard (or one of the two sides of the front yard bifurcated by the driveway) on an ad hoc basis when I could let it out of the back yard myself, ensuring the dogs stay safe. That doesn't really seem feasible to me based on your review. I'm actually now considering a Vision for the back yard and a non-Vision for the front. Thoughts?
Hi, thanks you your positive feedback, glad the video has helped. I think you are right to be practical, you could use the Vision on the rear and perhaps a traditional wired robotic mower on the front. This is exactly how I have it with the WORX landroid on the front and the Vision on the rear. It may not look it but the mower is heavy to lift. The other option would be to go for GPS guided mower, such as the Luba, but again it would need access to the front lawn to be completely autonomous. There is a link below to the Luba, the video shows it navigating between both my lawns. Hope this helps Mark
easylawnmowing.co.uk/luba-awd-5000-review/
Can this Landroid Vision run completely without WiFi signal AND without using a Smartphone App, when it is first configured properly and firmware updated using one ?
Can the WiFi be disabled so it does not search for the non existing WiFi all the time - so it does not transmit any wireless signals in normal use ?
Yes, you can use the control panel on the Landroid vision to start the mower and set the schedule (once setup and linked) . To get the best out of the mower it would be good to extend your WIFI signal to cover the mowing area. I used this mower on my neighbour's lawn without WIFI and worked fine.
Thanks
Mark
What happens if my lawn had a sharp drop at the edge towards a fence?!
I am really not too sure, you may be best to contact WORX support with some photos just to be on a safe side.
I hope that with the advancement of machine intelligence, it will just know my lawn and I can paint off limits strips with the iphone app. As if it was VR goggles painting the boundary.
So that i don't need physical fencing (by wire or magnetic strip) at all.
Great point. You can do this to some extent with GPS (RTK) we’re you drive the mower around the lawn once and the boundary is drab on the app. Take a look at the Luba mower from Mammotion.
hi mark thanks great review, i believe the app lawn perimeter definition is misleading i thought the mower would stay inside the aperimeter as defined but unless you fix magnetic strips it will go outside the defined perimeter. i have a very complex garden therefore i have to buy at least 100 mt of no go. i believed perimeter definition by app was enough to create the boundaries to be mowed. thanks
Hi, If the mower can see the boundary then there will no problem. If you see from my video, I want to stop the mower going into part of my lawn (no physical boundary for the mower to see) so you will need to use the magnetic strip. This is expensive, so not particle for very large areas. GPS/RTK guided mowers have a defined boundary with no need for additional strips to define no go areas - these robotic mowers are a lot more expensive. thanks Mark
I have extreme garden envy right now.
HaHa, yes, you spend more time watching these robot mowers than you would have done cutting the lawn with a traditional mower.
Great Review! Please can you make a review of STIGA A500? thanks in advance!
Thanks, I will ask if they will loan me one.
I can't find the review on how it fared on your neighbours property. Luba mowers appear to be experiencing many software related issues on various Facebook user groups.
Hi, the Luba on my neighbours lawn is working extremely well, so much so that he has decided to keep it. Yes there have been some teething issues with the new app update, but these have been addressed very quickly by Mammotion, and they continue to listen to the users and make enhancements. Thanks Mark
Glad i watched this.
I have the m700 and this dosnt look like its worth the money. For the price and with its "vision" it should be able to cut efficiency in straight linrs back and forth, not just bouncing around randomly.
Hi thanks for your feedback. Yes, true but you would then be looking looking at a GPS/RTK model (like the Luba - ua-cam.com/video/MLFmSsTeyHk/v-deo.html) that would cost significantly more. thanks Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing vision based robot hovers manage this fine.
Also RTK really isn't very expensive any more.
How I know the robot finished mowing the lawn?
Think of the mower as continuously mowing the the lawn taking a small amount off the length of grass each time. The schedule can be set in the Worx app.
Où trouver cette vidéo en français
Sorry no French language available.
Surely you don’t want it to stop and avoid a leaf!!
Yes, larger leaves it will avoid, so lawn needs to be kept clear with these vision mowers. Thanks
Video all good but you confused the front wheels and back wheel 10:04
Thanks for pointing this out, Mark
waarom kunnen ze dat niet in het nederlands spreken.
Sorry, I don't speak any Dutch.
26:02 Welp it's time to mow.... That motha sucka is slower than a turtle. 🐢
The temptation is to sit and watch these robots, however that defeats the objective. If it mows the lawn for you, what’s the rush?
I really like worx and i really wouldn't use any other brand
What's the point of buying this vision model (which is x3 the price of the regular one btw) if the first thing you do in your garden is set up a boundary wire? This is just silly
Hi thanks for your comment. If I was cutting all of my lawn I would not have needed to lay the out of bounds wire. I just wanted to demonstrate and test how well it worked. Thanks
Excellent information. I think you should get a commission from Worx. I believe I will now buy a vision mower. I have two lawns at two addresses and it looks like I can transport the vision mower from one location to the other and it will mow both of them with hopefully zero or minimal problems. I may end up buying a base station for each location and hopefully I will be good to go. Thank you very much. If you see something wrong with what I am wanting to do please let me know. Thanks again.
Thanks for your positive feedback. Sounds good to me. Just bare in mind, for some, the mower may be a little heavy and awkward to lift at around 15kg.
Thanks Mark
seems tha ecovacs works better, this is a random movement.
I have reached out to Ecovacs for a demo model so I can test and share a review. Thanks
I wanted to buy this - but after seeing the mess its made of your garden and the fact that it goes nowhere near the edge - I 100% won't be buying now. Thanks for warning me off this.
Back to the drawing board finding a decent robotic mower.
Hi, Thanks for your comment. I understand your concerns about robotic mowers not being able to cut completely to the edge, especially if the lawn isn't level with the path or driveway. This is a common challenge with many models. However, some newer GPS (RTK) models are designed with edge-cutting capabilities or additional features to address this issue. It might be worth exploring these options or considering a combination of a robotic mower for the main lawn and a manual trimmer for the edges. Your feedback is valuable and helps in making an informed decision. Good luck with your search for the perfect solution!
i really didnt go to the edge LOL.
There has been a firmware update since this video that can be configured to go closer to the edge. However, unless you have the lawn level with the path, there will always be some trimming to do, as with the majority of robotic mowers. Mark
Daube
Put his dog down as an object 😂
Please don't tell my wife!! There was no danger to her, as I had tested before hand.
I thought that dog was dead at first sorry but i was really worried about him.
Thanks for your concern, my little girl likes chilling and resting on the lawn, and helping me. Mark
"This mower will cut to edge." You should not have repeated this lie from Worx.
Good video otherwise.
Thanks for your comment. I did say in the video, like all robotic mowers, there will be some trimming to do. Having said that, WORX have just released and update for the Landroid Vision that allows the mower to cut over the edge.
Thanks
To quote someone on a forum: "Edge cutting as advertised will not work even with 100 updates because the mower deck is positioned incorrectly." The L1300 and L1600 are both 487 mm wide, and have 22cm cutting width leaving 133mm uncut, M600 and M800 even more.@@EasyLawnMowing
Navigation is trash 😕, def not recommended...
Hi, Thanks for your feedback. What issues did you have?
Irresponsible to test with the dog, you never know…
Thanks for your concern. I was ready with the pause button so she was at no risk. I had also tested with a stuffed toy before hand. Thanks again.
Honestly it’s really fine, especially for the sake of a demonstration and complete review like this one (fantastic work btw @EasyLawnMowing )
I’ve had the M800 for a year and a half now, I own three cats which all spend 90% of the day floating around the garden and sleeping sprawled out on the lawn. We have never ever seen anything that gives us even the slightest reason to be concerned about the mower running unsupervised while the cats are able to roam freely into the garden day or night through their cat flap.
Trust me, if there was a risk to cats and small dogs, it would be in the best interest of Worx to warn pet owners of risks. Really, it’s totally safe, and I think the video demonstrating this will reassure a lot of pet owners.
Obviously I wouldn’t let a hamster roam the lawn, or even a guinea pig, though even in this case unless the hamster/guinea pig is deaf and blind, it’s gonna see and hear this great big machine coming towards it in slow motion, and it’ll scurry out the way. Remember the mower moves sloooow, I’m sure the doggo in the video only stayed put because it trusts its owner and obeyed when instructed to stay, I’m sure in a real world scenario his doggo would just casually move out the way as the mower lazily gets closer, by which time the mower has already detected an obstacle and started re-routing.
I’m extremely critical of this model series after owning one for so long and experiencing a LOT of problems with it, but I cant’t fault it for safety around pets like cats and small dogs, or heck even a small child! 😂
Great job on the review! 👏
Many thanks! Mark
