The short version

The Landroid Vision AI, first sold simply as Landroid Vision, uses a single camera on the front to tell grass from everything else. It doesn't build a map or use satellites. When it reaches the edge of the lawn it turns and sets off in a new direction, the same random approach as Worx's wire-guided Landroids, just without the wire. Sizes run from 250m² to 1,600m², and the 600m² M600 is the one reviewers tested. Above it, Worx's Vision Cloud models add satellite positioning so they mow in straight lines.

The trade-off is efficiency. Because it doesn't know where it's been, it has to run longer to cover everything, and a lawn with patchy grass, narrow gaps or paving to cross can trip it up.

Our take: Buy it if you want a wire-free mower with almost no setup and your lawn is a simple, well-grassed shape with clear borders. Two UK testers loved how easily it found its own way. If your lawn is patchy, split by paths or reached through narrow gaps, an Australian tester found it struggled. For straight-line mowing and multi-zone gardens, Worx's own Vision Cloud is the better choice.

What reviewers found

Three home tests, all from 2024. T3 and Expert Reviews tested the M600 WR206E in UK gardens, and bttr. ran the M600 and the larger L1300 WR213E for about a month in Australia. All three found setup remarkably easy and agree the random pattern is its main weakness. They split on edges: the two UK testers found it cut closer than most wire-guided robots, while bttr was left with a noticeable fringe, on a lawn with patchy grass and bare earth.

Almost no setup

T3 found it took a fraction of the time of a wired robot: plug in the base, connect to Wi-Fi, let it explore, and go. It even dropped the mower on an unfamiliar front lawn without using the app, and it found its own way round. Expert Reviews called it one of the easiest robots it has set up, and bttr. said setup was almost too easy. You still need a spot for the charging base near a socket.

Random mowing takes longer

It has no map, so it covers the lawn by chance. T3 saw criss-cross lines for a day or two before the lawn looked neat. Expert Reviews found a few tufts still standing after several mows of a 100m² lawn and warns that the longer running could mean more wear on the grass. If you want a crisp striped finish after one pass, this isn't the mower for you.

Edges: close for some, not others

Expert Reviews saw at worst about 20cm left uncut, often less, and says it cut closer than most wire-guided robots, thanks to a blade offset to one side. T3 also found it gets much closer to the edge than centre-cut rivals, and liked a setting that lets it run over flush paving. bttr. still had a strip of tall grass round the border, on a lawn with bare, patchy areas the camera avoided.

Good with toys, fussy about leaves

Expert Reviews scattered dog toys, balls and ropes, and it dodged them all, then turned away from the tester's feet. T3 found it spots objects about two inches tall, occasionally including tall weeds. bttr. saw the flip side: it steered round a patch of autumn leaves and skipped grass-and-dirt areas altogether, leaving odd long strands. A lush, even lawn suits it best.

Simple layouts only

bttr. found it won't go through gaps narrower than about a metre and won't cross non-grass areas on its own. To move between separate lawns you place RFID tags across the path, which Expert Reviews describes, and bttr wished zones could be set without them. Expert Reviews also warns the random pattern may not suit a complicated garden.

App is basic but easy

T3 found the app simple but clumsy in places: there's no way to clear all schedules at once, and changes are lost if you forget to save. Expert Reviews liked the party mode, which pauses schedules while you're in the garden. bttr. was irritated by notifications for every charge and discharge. You can also run it from the buttons on top without the app at all.

T3 and Expert Reviews tested the M600 WR206E; bttr tested the WR206E and WR213E. Worx sells other sizes from 250m² (WR202E) to 1,600m² (WR216E), and US model codes differ.

Before you buy

The questions people ask about this one

Does it need a boundary wire?

No. A camera tells grass from paths, beds and obstacles, so there's no wire, aerial or map, per the specifications. T3 and Expert Reviews found setup far quicker than a wired robot. You do still install a charging base near a power socket.

How close does it cut to the edge?

It varies. Expert Reviews saw at most about 20cm left, often less, closer than most wired robots. bttr. was left with a noticeable fringe of tall grass round a patchy lawn. Expect some strimming, especially where grass thins out near the border.

Can it handle two lawns or a narrow passage?

Only with help. bttr. found it won't pass through gaps narrower than about a metre or cross non-grass areas. RFID tags laid across a path let it move between lawns, per Expert Reviews. For multi-zone gardens, Worx's Vision Cloud is designed for the job.

Will it cope with my slope?

Gentle ones. Worx rates the M600 for 30%, per the specifications, which T3 calls about average for a robot mower. Nobody tested it on a steep bank. For steeper ground, Worx's four-wheel-drive Vision Cloud models are rated far higher.

How noisy is it for neighbours?

Very quiet. Worx quotes 59dB for the M600, per the specifications, and T3 found it so quiet you can hardly tell it's working from a few feet away.

Compare with

WORX

Landroid Vision Cloud

Adds satellite positioning to the camera, so it maps the lawn and mows in straight lines.

Setup takes a little longer, and small models need an add-on to cut right to the edge.

E15 Robot Lawn Mower

Also camera-only with no wire or aerial, and one of the quickest mowers to set up.

Testers with bumpy or damp grass had it slipping and getting stuck.

GOAT O500

Wire-free with cameras and a laser, no aerial, and good at spotting obstacles, for lawns up to 500m².

Tight corners can take remapping, and it doesn't cut right to the edge.
