Plain-English guides to robot lawn mowers: what size of yard each one suits, how it finds its way, how it compares and who it suits, based on the makers’ own specifications.
The WORX Landroid Vision WR220 mows lawns of up to half an acre without a boundary wire or satellite positioning, guided by camera vision alone. An AI Vision camera also watches for obstacles. It sits in the Entry tier, and WORX rates it for slopes of up to 30%, so it suits a fairly level yard.
The UBHome M10 mows up to a quarter of an acre inside a boundary set in an app, guided by RTK satellite positioning and cameras. UBHome rates it for slopes of up to 55%, and it checks for obstacles with a camera, ultrasonic sensors and a bumper. Each charge gives a fairly short run of up to 1.5 hours.
The Bestmow T100 mows lawns of up to one and a half acres without a boundary wire, finding its way with RTK satellite positioning and cameras. No other Mid Tier mower compared here is rated for as much ground. Its cutting height runs from 1.2 to 3.9 inches, reaching taller settings than those mowers offer.
The Sunseeker X3 Plus mows lawns of up to three-tenths of an acre with no boundary wire, combining RTK satellite positioning with camera vision to cover the grass in systematic lines. Sunseeker rates it for slopes of up to 30%. Its battery recharges in 1.5 hours, and an AI Vision camera watches for obstacles ahead.
The Hookii Neomow X mows lawns of up to one acre with no boundary wire, finding its position with LiDAR and cameras. For obstacles, it pairs an AI Vision camera and LiDAR with a bumper. The main trade-off is charging, because Hookii rates it for 2 hours of mowing and a 3-hour recharge.
The Eufy E15 relies on cameras alone to find its way around lawns of up to a fifth of an acre and to recognize obstacles. You set its boundary in the app instead of laying a wire. Eufy rates it for slopes of up to 40%, and it carries an IPX6 water rating, which covers strong water jets.
The Anthbot Pion 1000 mows inside a boundary wire and covers the grass in systematic lines rather than wandering at random. Anthbot rates it for lawns of up to a quarter acre and slopes of up to 45%. The Genie 600, one tier up, skips the wire and is rated for a smaller lawn.
The Anthbot Genie 3000 mows up to nine-tenths of an acre with no perimeter wire, guided by RTK satellite positioning and camera vision. It shares its slope rating, sensors and cutting height with the Anthbot Genie 1000. The difference is a bigger battery, at 10,000 mAh, that runs longer per charge, and a rating for a much larger lawn.
The Anthbot Genie 1000 mows lawns of up to half an acre with no boundary wire, using RTK satellite positioning and cameras to find its way. It shares its slope rating, cutting heights and sensors with the Anthbot Genie 3000. The Genie 1000 has the smaller battery of the two and is rated for a smaller lawn.
The Anthbot Genie 600 cuts lawns of up to 1/5 acre inside a boundary you draw in an app, finding its way with RTK satellite positioning and cameras. It sits in Mid Tier and is rated for slopes of up to 45%. Anthbot backs up its AI Vision camera with a bumper, and the battery recharges in 1.5 hours.
The Ecovacs Goat A3000 mows lawns of up to three-quarters of an acre without a boundary wire. It finds its way with LiDAR, which measures distance with laser light, and with cameras. Ecovacs rates it for slopes of up to 50%, and its battery recharges in 1.17 hours.
The Ecovacs Goat O1000 mows lawns of up to a quarter of an acre, with the boundary drawn in an app rather than marked by a wire. It sits in the Entry tier and navigates by RTK satellite positioning and cameras. Its obstacle detection adds LiDAR to an AI Vision camera.
The Ecovacs Goat A2000 mows lawns of up to half an acre inside edges you set in an app, and it finds its way with LiDAR and cameras. It cuts a 13-inch strip on each pass, and Ecovacs rates one charge at 0.83 hours, with a full recharge taking the same time.
The Mammotion Luba 2 3000X mows lawns of up to 3/4 acre without a boundary wire, finding its way with RTK satellite positioning and cameras. Mammotion rates it for slopes of up to 80%. On paper it matches the Mammotion Luba 2 3000HX in every respect but cutting height, where this model sits lower, from 1 to 2.7 inches.
The Mammotion Luba 2 3000HX mows lawns of up to 3/4 acre without a boundary wire, using RTK satellite positioning and cameras to cover the grass in planned lines. What sets it apart from the Mammotion Luba 2 3000X is a higher cutting range, from 2.2 to 4 inches. Mammotion also rates it for slopes of up to 80%.
The Mammotion Luba 2 5000HX mows lawns up to one and a quarter acres with no boundary wire, guided by satellite positioning and cameras. Mammotion rates it for slopes up to 80%. It cuts from 2.2 to 4 inches, which suits a lawn kept on the longer side, and shares those specs with the Luba 2 3000HX, which is rated for a smaller lawn.
The Segway Navimow i105N mows lawns of up to 1/8 acre without a perimeter wire, finding its way with RTK satellite positioning and camera vision. It sits in the Entry tier, and Segway rates it for 1 hour of mowing per charge. An IP66 rating keeps dust out completely and guards it against strong water jets.
