Keeping your lawn trimmed need not be a chore that you dread, especially because you can get a robotic lawnmower to mow your lawn. With that in mind, here are the top four detailed robotic lawnmowers reviews:

#4 Robomow RC306 Automatic Robotic Lawnmower

OVERVIEW

The Robomow RC306 is a robotic mower you can control from the comfort of your home using a mobile device like a smartphone. The quick start guide and setup DVD bundled together with the Robomow contain all the information you need to get started.

FEATURES

• Remote control

This robotic lawnmower allows its owners to control operations from inside their homes or anywhere in the world via a mobile application. One can also use in-built Bluetooth technology to control its operations from up to 600 meters away.

• Child lock

The child lock feature prevents young kids from tampering or trying to operate the Robomow Automatic lawnmower.

• Eco Mode

For the environmentally conscious users, the manufacturer has included an Eco Mode feature to minimize energy usage during mowing.

• Unique edge mode

The Robomow's unique Edge Mode allows it to track the boundary wire while mowing to make sure the edges of your lawn are properly trimmed. This is possible because of the Robomow's blades that reach its base borders.

• Multiple Zone mowing

If your lawn has multiple unique zones that require individualized mowing, the Robomow is the right robotic lawnmower to use. It will mow each part/section according to your specifications.

• Heavy-duty blades

Thanks to heavy-duty steel blades, the Robomow makes trimming overgrown grass a breeze.

• Rain sensor

Although the Robomow can handle varying weather conditions, you can set it to cease operations if it senses specific outdoor conditions. For instance, you could set it to stop mowing when outdoor humidity reaches a specific high point.

BENEFITS

Mowing lawns on steep slopes is a challenge the Robomow handles without any problem. Manufacturer specifications show it can work on lawns that slope up to 36% in relation to a horizontal plane. To make servicing and replacing parts as easy as possible, this robotic lawnmower is based on a modular design. One can carry out minor repairs following instructions on its manual. Since its blades reach the borders of its base, they enable the Robomow to trim grass much faster. It comes with security features such as PIN code to prevent unauthorized operation, child lock, and sensors to stop blade rotation the moment one lifts the Robomow from the ground.

#3 Worx WG794 Landroid Medium Robotic Mower

OVERVIEW

The Worx WG794 Landroid is a compact robotic lawnmower that uses artificial intelligence to keep its owner's lawn in picture perfect condition. With this mower at hand, you can spend your weekends lazing at home or partying with friends.

FEATURES

• Artificial intelligence technology Unlike other robotic lawnmowers, the Worx Landroid uses patented Artificial Intelligence Algorithm (AIA) technology to chart its way around a lawn. According to the maker, this technology allows it to mow similarly sized lawns within the same timeframe regardless of landscape complexity and shape. • User-friendly controls Although this lawnmower packs advanced technological features, it has user-friendly controls. The first is a user panel that one can use to set mowing times and days. Alternatively, you can access and use your lawnmower's preset programs by pressing the +/- buttons. • Safety sensors This lawnmower uses "instant blade stop" technology to prevent its blades from hurting someone if lifted intentionally or accidentally while mowing. In-built sensors will guide the Worx Landroid to its docking station should weather conditions make it impossible or not safe to continue working. Finally, its sensors allow it to navigate through openings that span two meters or less.

BENEFITS

This robotic lawnmower comes ready to use straight out-of-the box. Just select a pre-programmed setting, press the start button, and leave it to trim your lawn. Take note its packaging box includes all essential peripheral gizmos and add-ons such as screws, battery charging station, power extension cable, boundary wire, and boundary measurement guide.You can adjust the Worx's lawn mowing height to suit personal preferences. The available height settings range from 20 to 60 mm. A noisy lawnmower is not good for the environment not to mention it can ruin your weekend as well as relations with neighbours. The Worx Landroid operates quietly powered by a 28V lithium-ion battery, which also means it does not release harmful greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Owning this robotic lawnmower would give you peace of mind because you would not have to pay a handyman to perform this chore or try to slot lawn-mowing time into a busy work schedule that involves travelling out-of-state or abroad.
