Our take
Roborock RockMow S1
A convincing first-generation mower from Roborock. Independent testing praises setup, quiet mowing, stable navigation and the familiar app, while edge cutting near walls and some unfinished software features are the main weaknesses.
Reviewers praise fast setup, clean mowing lines, quiet operation, stable positioning under trees and an app that feels much more mature than many new mower brands.
Edge cutting is inconsistent against high borders, very small obstacles can be missed, and some promised automation features still depend on software updates.
Lawns suited to stereo vision obstacle avoidance.
Buyers who need a robot that is available to buy immediately.
- Sensors help it spot and avoid objects; small items can still be missed.
- Multi-zone management in the Roborock app
What reviewers found
PC-WELT’s S115 test found polished setup, quiet operation and stable navigation. Its edge cutter helped at level borders, but small low objects and some unfinished software features limited the otherwise favourable result.
Mowing and traction
The S115 held its grip on damp ground and slopes in the test despite rear-wheel drive. Cutting and navigation were described as quiet and dependable, supported by an app that felt familiar from Roborock’s indoor robots.
[1]Where the edge module helps
The included PreciEdge module improved the cut along low, flat borders while remaining relatively quiet. It still left grass against high walls or kerbs. Buyers should therefore distinguish a good flush-edge result from complete trimming around every solid obstacle.
[1]Small objects and the variant tested
The reviewer warns that flat hoses and thin cables were not reliably identified. The report covers the 1,500m² S115; its endurance should not be assigned to the S108. It describes some software functions as unfinished without establishing long-term hardware problems.
