WORX LANDROID VISION

Robot Lawn Mowers are safe, eco-friendly, and fully autonomous. They only require a perimeter wire installation around all the areas to be mowed.

Once the installation is finalized, your robot mower will be scheduled to mow and return home to recharge by itself with no input from you at all.

The perimeter or boundary wire function communicates to the robot mower where your lawn boundaries are.

The charging station emits a signal through the boundary wire, so when the robot mower approaches the boundary, it stops and goes back the other way.

Moreover, when the robot is low on battery, it will first find the boundary wire and then follow it to return to the charging station.

There are two options for the installation of the perimeter wire around the edges of your lawn. One option is to peg the boundary wire to the grass. The second option is to bury the wire approximately 5cm deep, by cutting a small slit in the ground.

If possible, we recommend initially pegging the wire down to ensure that the robot lawn mower is running flawlessly over the space for a few days or a week, and then bury it if you wish to bury the perimeter wire.

Yes, all Worx Landroid models can start mowing from 4 separate locations. The Robot will locate these areas by following the installed perimeter wire to the set location.

If a zone that requires mowing is inaccessible for the robot, the boundary wire can still be installed around this and connected to the main boundary wire loop. Then, the robot can be placed manually in this area to continue mowing.

Yes, Worx Landroid robot mowers are the only robots that can cut to the edges of your lawn. The special offset blade of the Landroid gets as close as possible to the border of your lawn. Read more.

Worx Landroid has a unique cutting pattern that reduces the average mowing time. While most robot mowers reverse and turn when reaching the borders, the Landroid robot simply reaches the border and gracefully turns in another direction.

Landroid patterns are calculated by an algorithm, which might seem random, yet, this method ensures that your entire lawn is mowed even in the tightest spaces.

The main benefit of robot mowers is that they will mow your lawn more often than you would and keep the grass perfectly mowed all year round.

It is best to allow your robot to cover your ENTIRE lawn 2-3 times a week during the peak growing season in Australia. All Worx Landroid models have an automatic schedule feature that lets the robot work this all out for you.

Otherwise, you can work out the number of hours per week needed to mow your lawn by a simple calculation:

Lawn size in m2 / m2 per hour your robot model mows = time required to mow the entire lawn

*For this example, the lawn size is 300m2 and the robot model is a Worx Landroid WR150E that mows 85m2 per hour.

300m2 / 85m2 = 3.5 hours to mow the entire lawn.

During peak growing season, multiply this number by 3:

3.5 hours x 3 = 10.5 hours mowing per week

It is best to have your robot mowing either every day or every second day during peak growing periods. So, you can schedule the robot to mow for either 1.5 hours every day or 3 hours every second day.
* The above calculation is only a guide as different-shaped lawns will take different durations to mow.

Worx Landroid offers 3 robot mower models covering areas from 500m2 to 1500m2.

For all robot lawnmowers, we recommend that you don’t exceed 70% of the robot’s maximum capacity, so you get the best cutting results in a reasonable time frame. Mowing to the highest capacity of any robot lawn mower is possible but, you will expect the robot to be working for 10 hours or more a day excluding charging times.

Unique to the Worx Landroid is the ability to change your battery cheaply and easily to the same size or a larger battery up to 6ah. Increasing the battery will increase the capacity of the robot mower.

It is IMPORTANT to notice that every robot lawnmower has 3 different slope ratings.

Maximum Permissible Slope – It determines the highest gradient value that the robot can manage. The highest slope should only be in a small part of your lawn and it should be well inside your perimeter wire.

Maximum Consistent slope – If most of your lawn is sloped, this should be your property’s maximum slope gradient value.

Maximum edge slope – This is the most important rating, which is the maximum slope allowed within 1 metre of your boundary wire.

* These ratings are the maximum allowable ratings on a perfectly manicured lawn surface. So lawn areas with rough or uneven surfaces and thick or deep grass (>30mm deep when cut) will need to be factored into your maximum slope ratings.

Find out how to measure the gradient of the slopes here.

Thick grasses like newly laid Buffalo and Kikuyu can be difficult for some robot mowers to travel on.

If you notice that your lawn is more than 40mm in height when freshly mowed, keep it in mind when choosing a mower. Newly laid or grown grass are usually deeper than older established grass.

Also, lawns that are heavily thatched underneath can cause the grass to be too deep and spongy. Deep spongy grass is also difficult for robot mowers to maintain traction.

If your lawn is under 40mm in height t when freshly mowed, then most robot mowers will be able to travel on them easily.
