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. Edges split them: 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.

T3, hands-on, A few weeks (tested on the M600 WR206E) · Expert Reviews, hands-on, Sept 2024 (tested on the M600 WR206E) · bttr., hands-on, About a month, Apr 2024 (tested on the M600 WR206E and L1300 WR213E)

  • Cut quality and edges

    Mixed results

    The lawn looks tidy once it settles in, but edges vary. Expert Reviews and T3 found the offset blade cut closer than most wired robots, while bttr. was left with a fringe of tall grass round a patchy lawn the camera shied away from.

  • Setup and boundaries

    Reviewers rate it highly

    Almost no setup. T3 plugged in the base, let it explore and started mowing in a fraction of the time a wire takes, Expert Reviews called it one of the easiest robots it has set up, and bttr. said it was almost too easy.

  • Navigation

    Mixed results

    With no map it covers the lawn by chance. T3 saw criss-cross lines for a day or two before it looked neat, Expert Reviews still found tufts after several mows, and bttr. found it won't pass gaps under about a metre or cross paving without tags.

  • Slopes and rough ground

    Not enough evidence

    None of the reviews we use tested it on a slope or rough ground. Worx rates the M600 for moderate slopes, per the specifications, which T3 calls about average for a robot mower.

  • Obstacles and safety

    Reviewers rate it highly

    Expert Reviews scattered dog toys, balls and ropes and it dodged them all, then turned away from the tester's feet, and T3 found it spots objects about two inches tall. bttr. found it overcautious instead, skipping leaves and patchy ground.

  • Weather

    Not enough evidence

    None of the reviews we use tested it in the rain. T3 describes a rain sensor with an adjustable delay in the app.

  • App and software

    Mixed results

    The app is simple but patchy. Expert Reviews liked party mode for pausing schedules, but T3 found it clumsy, with no way to clear all schedules and changes lost if unsaved, and bttr. was irritated by constant charging alerts.

  • Upkeep

    Not enough evidence

    None of the reviews we use tested cleaning or blade changes. T3 notes the whole mower is hose-washable.

  • Reliability and support

    Not enough evidence

    None of the reviews we use ran it long term or judged Worx's support.

  • Value

    Not enough evidence

    Only bttr. judged value, finding it needs too much manual help to justify the price on an awkward, patchy or multi-level lawn.

Verdicts come from independent, hands-on, finished reviews. An area needs at least two of them before we say more than “Not enough evidence”. We don't score robots ourselves. How this works

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. The reviewer 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

With no map, it covers the lawn by chance. T3 saw criss-cross lines for a day or two before the lawn looked neat. After several mows of a 100m² lawn, Expert Reviews still found a few tufts standing, 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. If your grass thins out near the edges, expect more strimming.

Good with toys, fussy about leaves

Expert Reviews scattered dog toys, balls and ropes, and it dodged the lot, 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. It's happiest on a lush, even lawn.

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 it 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 you lose changes 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.

Our take

Should you buy the Landroid Vision AI?

Best for: Small, flat lawns with clear borders. Skip it if: Your lawn has several awkward sections or unclear borders.

buy it for a simple, well-grassed lawn with clear borders if you want a wire-free mower with almost no setup. For straight lines and gardens split into zones, Worx's own Vision Cloud is the better choice.

The Landroid Vision AI uses a single camera on the front to tell grass from everything else, with no wire, no map and no satellites. When it reaches the edge of the lawn it turns and heads off in a new direction, the same random approach as Worx's wired Landroids. The 600m² M600 is the size reviewers tested.

All three testers found setup remarkably easy. T3 plugged in the base, let it explore and was mowing in a fraction of the time a wire takes, and Expert Reviews called it one of the easiest robots it has set up. The random pattern is the weakness: T3 saw criss-cross lines for a day or two before the lawn looked neat, and Expert Reviews still found tufts standing after several mows. Edges split the testers. Expert Reviews and T3 found the offset blade cut closer than most wired robots, but bttr., testing in Australia on a lawn with patchy grass and bare earth, was left with a fringe of tall grass the camera shied away from. bttr. also found it won't pass gaps narrower than about a metre or cross paving without RFID tags, and thought it needed too much help to justify the price on an awkward lawn.

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 with a wired robot. You do still need to 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, which is closer than most wired robots. bttr. was left with a noticeable fringe of tall grass round a patchy lawn. Expect some strimming, especially where the 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. None of the reviews we use tried it on a steep bank. For steeper ground, Worx's four-wheel-drive Vision Cloud models are rated far higher.

Will it annoy the neighbours?

Unlikely. 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.

Landroid Vision Cloud

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

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

ECOVACS GOAT O500
ECOVACS · £14.78

GOAT O500

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

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