WORX Landroid WR141E Robotic Lawnmower for Medium Gardens up to 500m2 - Automatic, WiFi-Connected Robot Lawn Mower with App Control, AIA Technology and Adjustable Cutting Heights

I am not one for leaving reviews but thought in this case I would. I have had this now for a year and can reasonably say its worth every penny. Unlike some others I had no set up issues and found the App works really well. It does take time initially to peg out the boundary wire and I have had to revisit it a couple of times to make sure it's right (tip is certainly spend the time at the planning stage - typical bloke I just got on with it and then needed to redo!). Once up and running I just let Larry do his thing. In the space of 3 months or so he has changed a poor looking lawn really weed prone to one that lush and healthy. This is largely due to my pre Larry inclination to bald scoot the lawn once a fortnight and leave it thereafter. Now Larry cheerfully mows away regularly nipping a little at a time and mulching the clippings into the lawn. He does get stuck a few times and his spinning wheels can leave a mark on the lawn but this is due in part to an incline and skidding on moist grass. Yes I have to strim the edges but I would have to do that with any other mower. Otherwise I am over the moon with my purchase and there is nothing better than looking out at Larry hard at work whilst I sip a cold beer.Next purchase will be a robot vacuum cleaner.

As a guy who would rather play video games than mow the lawn, I never thought I'd find myself writing a review for a robot lawnmower. But here I am, and let me tell you about my new best buddy, the WORX Landroid M500+ WR165E, or as we affectionately call it in our house, "Robo Crop."Installation: Alright, so I'm not exactly the handiest guy on the block, but after a couple of brewskis and actually reading the instructions (shocking, I know), setting up Robo Crop was a breeze.Performance: It's been four weeks now, and Robo Crop has become the unsung hero of our garden. It navigates around flower beds like a pro (seriously, better than I ever did), and the grass looks better than ever. I almost want to invite the neighbors over just to show off my new lawn magician.Features: This thing has more features than my smartphone. It knows when to mow, when to chill (okay, recharge), and even comes with an app that makes me feel like I'm controlling a Mars rover from my couch. Plus, the kids think it's the coolest thing since sliced bread, which is saying something in the age of TikTok and Fortnite.Final Thoughts: If you're like me and would rather spend your weekends doing anything but mowing the lawn, do yourself a favor and get a Robo Crop. It's reliable, it's efficient, and hey, it might even make you look forward to yard work (okay, maybe not that far). Just don't forget to give it a cool name – Robo Crop is not just a mower, it's part of the family now.So, five stars from me and Robo Crop. Now excuse me while I go find more stuff for him to mow.

EDITED:Review below still stands but I’m knocking one star off because there is a problem I don’t like. I have had to cordon off a small are of my garden but I tell you this robot mower doesn’t accept no for an answer. When it comes up against an obstacle from an angle (not head on as that seems ok) it repeatedly tries to edge its way into the obstacle, not once, not twice, but 5 times but 7 or more times it repeatedly turns towards the obstacle trying to get past, churning up the ground as the wheel spins and damaging the paintwork of the robot and scratching along the obstacle as it doesn’t give up. This is a really annoying flaw in the software and needs to be fixed. Maybe try once or twice but at that point, TURN AWAY from the obstacle and get on with mowing please. When Worx fix this I’ll reinstate the 5 stars but for now I need to reseed the area of the grass that it’s messed up.Just a short review to say that this robot mower is fantastic. Main points: Setting up is easy although laying the boundary wire takes time if you have lots of corners and obstacles etc. It took me quite a few hours to get it inch perfect. Bear in mind that there will be a couple of inches at the edge of a wall or obstacle that the mower won’t reach but a little manual trimming each week is a price worth paying for the convenience of not having to mow the main lawn. You’ll want to be sending the mower out pretty much every day so as to keep the lawn neat. Yes the mower mows randomly but honestly this isn’t a problem. The only thing is that occasionally it misses a clump of grass but tends to pick this up the next time it moves. The mower can definitely mow longer grass but you won’t want it to because the blades left behind sit on top of the grass. Instead, you’ll want the mower to be mowing once a day or every other day so that it cuts off tiny pieces which fall to the roots and mulch quickly. These little grass cuttings are not sticking to shoes or ending up in the house. Having no grass clippings to get rid of is brilliant! The best part about this mower is that you end up just sitting there watching it go about its routine, very therapeutic. Also the grass has never looked better, the weeds don’t appear to get a chance to pop up as they get hacked back every day. I did lay a new lawn with good quality seed so that probably helped but I’m convinced that this mower will keep it looking good. You do tend to get a wheel track line around the edge after it’s done its edge routine and you do get vague cross cross patterns in the grass where the wheels have been but actually it looks quite a nice effect. The app is really simple to use although if you pick the mower up and put it back on the station manually (happened a lot at the beginning when I was testing the wire placement) you get an annoying ‘wire missing’ error, and I recall it being a bit of a random fix to get rid of that message. The mower deals with slopes well and easily gets itself out of a sticky situation. Sometimes the wheels spin a little while turning on a slope but again it tends to sort itself out. After having the mower for a few weeks I would highly recommend getting one. Not sure what went wrong in my life to new get so excited about watching grass grow and then being cut by a plastic machine but there you go. 5 stars from me.
