The best robot lawn mowers in 2025

The Flymo EasiLife 500 GO isn't the most expensive option on the market, but that doesn't mean it cuts corners when it comes to performance. It cuts the grass effectively and reliably and comes packed with features. 

It's built for medium sized gardens, cutting lawns up to 500 square metres, and finds its way around gardens of any shape. It cuts every corner of the lawn and can even navigate narrow passages and bumpy terrain.

Included with the mower are the charging station, boundary wires, connectors, and other accessories. As far as programming and controlling the mower, it's all done via the EasiLife app. Some reviewers say it's a bit tricky to set up at first, but it should be easy from that point on.

There are some cool features. The mower returns to its charging base automatically, along with options for second area and spot cutting. It also adapts to weather conditions, which ultimately protects your lawn. 

Grass clippings, meanwhile, are so small that they disappear back into your lawn and act as a natural fertiliser. It's safety conscious too: If you lift and tilt the mower, the blades automatically stop.

Small garden and smaller budget? The LawnMaster VBRM16 is a tidy little machine that's got mostly rave reviews on Amazon.

The great thing about this robot lawn mower is the simplicity. You don't even need to set up a boundary wire. Instead, it uses a grass recognition camera and ultrasonic sensors. It will find its way around any small garden with borders (any lawn bordered by paving slabs, gravel, or a fence, for instance). If the borders of your lawn aren't clearly defined, it might struggle, and some reviewers have noted that it can get confused by shadows or stepping stones.

It cuts in a random pattern over four hours. If there are any untidy areas afterwards, you can use the spot cutting function, which concentrates on one area in a spiral motion. Clippings drop back out to feed the lawn.

While the LawnMaster doesn't have automatic self-charging — there's no charging dock to which the mower returns of its own accord, like with other models — it has a "drop and mow" action instead. Just charge the battery then drop the robo-mower on the lawn. It gets to work straight away.

If you have a large garden, the WORX Landroid WR155E has you covered. This one performs its gardening duties — covering an impressive area — with zero fuss and effort on your part. It runs smoothly and quietly and gets the job done. That's why WORX are one of the top robot lawnmower brands. 

It's controlled by an app that Landroid users rate for being streamlined and simple-to-use. You can program, schedule, and observe your mower from indoors, peering through the blinds as you relax. WORX boasts that it's the most agile and efficient robo-mower on the market.

The app also features an intelligent robotic grass care system. This adapts to various conditions that affect grass growth, such as rain and temperature. 

The Landroid itself is pretty smart, too. It cuts as close to the lawn edges as possible and has a self-levelling cutting deck, which adjusts to bumps on the lawn, ensuring the cutting job is even. AI navigation technology keeps the Landroid on route, even through tricky passages. As an added bonus, you can actually customise this Landroid. WORX offers add-on features (sold separately), such as a GPS tracker, an anti collision, or voice control.

The Bosch Indego S+ 500 robot mower is an easy and convenient device that works on areas of medium sized gardens, all using the Bosch Smart Gardening app. It can also be controlled through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

The Indego S+ 500 navigates around obstacles and returns automatically to its charge station. It calculates an efficient route through the garden using LogiCut technology, mowing in systematic parallel lanes. There’s other tech onboard, such as BorderCut, which ensures every mow begins at the borders for guaranteed neat edges. It can also remember up to three lawn spaces.

Other handy features include obstacle detection, local weather analysis, and the ability to find its way through narrow passages without boundary wires.

This mower will also receive free over-the-air software updates throughout the year, making sure that performance stays strong. And you can't really go wrong with Bosch. The brand is a favourite — well known for its reliable tools.

The first thing you notice about the Husqvarna Automower 415X is the price. This an expensive robot mower. There's no way around that — not even with all its onboard GPS navigation, which creates a virtual map of your garden, plus the option to programme it to mow a secondary area — but if you're willing to spend the money, this robo-mower is stacked with features.

Among those features is Automower Zone Control, which essentially allows you to control the mower using your mobile phone. You can set work areas with customisable settings and schedules, plus temporary stay-out zones.

And if smart control is a deal breaker, this mower is also compatible with Alexa and Google Nest for voice control and status updates. It effectively becomes an extension of your smart home.

Other features include automatic passage handling, for navigating small connecting areas. It will even switch to systematic passage mowing to minimise the number of turns and potential damage to these smaller areas. There's also a rewilding mode for getting a portion of your lawn unmowed and a TargetHeight function that lowers the cutting height over a 10 days period.

Elsewhere in its mammoth spec offering there's a frost guard, which halts schedules when there's frost, and weather timing, which adjusts the mower's work during the seasons to maximise performance and protect the mower.

The Einhell FREELEXO is neither the cheapest nor the most advanced robot lawnmower on this list, but for sheer pound-for-pound value, it comes well recommended and has the benefit of a well-known power tool brand name.

It has pretty much everything you want from the convenience of a robot lawnmower. It comes with a charging station and returns to charge automatically (in fact, it's from Einhell's range of Power X-Change tools, so the 18V battery is compatible with any other Power X-Change tool). The FREELEXO also comes equipped with boundary wires.

The mower is controlled via an LCD display or Bluetooth. It comes equipped with the pre-set schedules, you can set it to mow when and how you like.

There's multi-area mowing, which means it can handle more complex garden layouts while navigating its way around obstacles using a safety sensor system. You can also programme it to return to the charging station when it rains (it has sensors for rain too) though it's perfectly capable of mowing in the rain.

It's another model from LawnMaster, but this one is bigger in scope — in both the actual garden coverage and function.

The LawnMaster L10 comes with a boundary wire and charging station, and — unlike the cheaper LawnMaster on this list — returns to charge automatically. LawnMaster boasts that installation is easy, so there's no tricky set-up.

There's no app with this machine. Instead, it's controlled via a pin-protected keypad (that means no one else can programme it to do any unauthorised mowing) while sensory technology to back away from obstacles in the garden. It's weatherproof too, and automatically returns to its charging station in heavy rain, which will ultimately protect your garden.

It's not the most advanced robo-mower on this list, but the high rate of positive reviews on Amazon speaks for itself. Some reviewers have said that they still need to give the edges of the lawn a strim every now and then. Overall, this is a mid-range option that delivers a reliable performance and faff-free operation.
