10 Best Robot Lawn Mowers (Review) In 2020

Undoubtedly one of the best robotic lawn mowers on the market is the innovative Worx WR140 Landroid M. This means machine features patented AIA technology that allows it to efficiently navigate narrow paths that are beyond the reach of regular robotic mowers. The smartest lawn mower in town, it detects rain and will return to its charger, waiting for the weather to improve before attempting to cut the grass. Capable of tackling slopes up to 20°, it can be scheduled to mow the lawn whenever you choose – or you can allow it to recommend an auto-schedule, which it determines from the size and conditions of your yard. The Landroid app gives you control over the mowing schedule and its progress – plus you can even use it to measure your lawn. This lawn mower is easy to use – just set the charging base, put down the perimeter wire, measure the lawn, and let it do its thing while you relax!

This is another model that uses a boundary wire to determine the area to be cut – and if you don’t want to lay down the wire yourself, you can opt to have it installed for you. The Automower Connect app allows you to set a cutting schedule for the Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 315X and to check up on its progress. Using your Google Home device or Amazon Alexa, you can control it using just your voice. This mower runs quietly and can cut grass up to 2.4 inches, creating fine clippings in the process that fertilize your lawn naturally and don’t need to be bagged. One of the biggest concerns about using a robot mower is theft – but you can have confidence with this model, which uses GPS tracking so you’ll always know its location, plus an anti-theft alarm that sounds when it’s lifted.

The Husqvarna Automower 115H Robotic Lawn Mower uses the [email protected] app to allow you to set your mowing schedule – comes with Bluetooth connectivity up to 100ft.

It runs so quietly that you can use it at night without disturbing your neighbors and it’s capable of running when it’s either sunny or raining. An alarm sounds if the product is lifted and the unit then requires a PIN code to get going again, protecting it from theft.

With Bluetooth connectivity up to 100 ft, the Husqvarna AUTOMOWER 310 Robotic Lawn Mower is able to handle yards up to 0.25 acres and slopes up to 22°.
