Best Smart Robot Lawn Mowers

1. Husqvarna Automower 315

The Husqvarna Automower 315 is an advanced robotic lawn mower with a modern electric motor that produces between 58 dB and 69 dB of noise depending on the model. Compare that to the average noise level of traditional electric lawnmowers, which can go up to 100 dB. Besides being quiet, the Automower 315 is also easily height-adjustable via a large knob and programmable thanks to an intuitive user interface and a large LCD display.

Husqvarna has developed innovative blade resistance technology, which detects the growth rate of your grass and adjusts the lawn mover’s working time to the lawn’s growth rate and rain saturation. This technology helps the Automower 315 spend less time mowing, which prolongs its overall lifespan and also decreases the wear and tears on the lawn.

The Automower 315 is available with three different sets of accessories. There’s the Small Install Kit, which includes 492 ft. of loop wire and 300 ground staples; the Medium Install Kit, which consists of 820 ft. of loop wire and 400 ground staples; and the Large Install Kit, which includes 1,312 ft. of loop wire and 600 ground staples.

2. WORX Landroid WG794

Wouldn’t it be great if your lawn got a trim regularly? Of course, it would! But who has the time for mowing the lawn every few days? The WORX Landroid WG794 does. This pre-programmed robotic mower doesn’t get tired even when it spends the entire day overcoming inclines and declines up to 20 degrees.

The Landroid ships fully assembled and ready to get to work as soon as you set up its charging station to which the lawnmower automatically docks when its battery gets too low, or it starts to rain. Thanks to Landroid’s Advanced Intelligence Algorithm (AIA), the lawnmower can navigate even very narrow areas and cut most grasses regardless of heights, thickness, or grass types.

While powerful, the electric motor that powers Landroid’s wide blade is tranquil and energy-efficient, allowing Landroid to mow any lawn under 10,750 square feet.

3. Robomow RS630

Its very wide mowing width of 56 cm and a set of high-torque power wheels provides excellent traction even in slippery conditions. The Robomow RS630 demonstrates how far robotic lawn mowers have gone since Robomow released its first product more than 20 years ago.

The RS630 features Robomow’s Smartmow technology, which ensures seamless maneuverability and motion for an uninterrupted, meticulous mow and promotes longer mowing times. When the RS630 detects rain with its integrated rain sensor, it instantly decides whether its time to stop moving and return to its base station for charging. You can monitor the mower’s progress using Robomow’s smartphone app. The app also lets you control the mower manually so you can reach even those places where the mower doesn’t dare to go.

When lifted from the ground or tilted, the RS630 instantly stops its two sharp blades. The same happens when the mower senses an obstacle. The Child Lock feature prevents the RS630 from being activated unless a personalized PIN code is entered.

4. McCulloch ROB 1000

This new robotic lawnmower from one of Europe’s leading outdoor power equipment brands is compact, quiet, and powerful enough to cut even on slopes with inclines up to 25 percent. ROB has enough smarts to know how to avoid obstacles or rainy days, and it’s also designed to listen to your every command. You can tell ROB when it should cut your lawn, define the area where ROB needs to mow and lock him with a secure PIN code to prevent children from turning it on.

When ROB senses that it’s being stolen, it sounds a loud alarm to scare off the thief. And even if someone manages to steal it, ROB will refuse to work unless the correct PIN code is entered.

Because ROB cuts grass in an irregular pattern, it doesn’t leave behind track lines. Like other similar robotic lawnmowers, ROB doesn’t collect any grass. Instead, the grass is left in the lawn to decompose and feed the lawn naturally. After a few weeks of using ROB, you can expect your lawn to be greener and lusher than ever before.

5. Robomow RX12

The RX12 is one of Robomow’s more affordable robotic lawnmowers. It can cover up to 2,000 square feet on a charge, which translates to about 100 minutes of uninterrupted mowing. Because of traditional lead-acid battery power the Robomow RX12, it’s slightly heavier and less energy-efficient than other robotic mowers on this list, but it’s also significantly cheaper.

The Robomow RX12 comes with a base station for automatic charging, 100 pegs, and 230 feet of wire, which is used to set the perimeter the mower is supposed to cover. Even though the Robomow RX12 is an entry-level mower, it cuts grass evenly and reliably. The only major difference compared to high-end movers is the absence of scheduling and smartphone control. But if you have a smaller lawn and want to keep it neatly trimmed, the Robomow RX12 should do a great job.
