Worx Landroid M 20V Robotic Lawn Mower 1/4 Acre / 10,890 Sq. Ft Power Share- WR147 (Battery & Charger Included)

We were people who paid for lawn care and didn’t care to mow ourselves. In our area that meant almost $100 a month just to keep our grass cut to a reasonable level. This robot cost us $650 with a sale, so after just 7 months of use it was “paid for”, and now it continues to mow our lawn for a second season perfectly. For someone too lazy to mow the whole thing myself… the math comes out pretty good to me. His name is Moomoo and he eats a lawn like nobody’s business. Five stars. We have taken a real liking to this little robo mower, and fondly think of it like a little goat in our yard. On a 1/8 acre lot it takes maybe two full battery runs to fully clear everything, and only ever misses a couple spots that are easy to get with the compatible string trimmer. The worst thing about it is laying the boundary line. It was definitely a grueling task, but I took the time to do it right so it was worth it for the five star experience. I chose not to bury the wire because I didn’t see a need to with it being flush to the ground, and the grass and clovers quickly grew over it. The wires and pegs that came with were enough to get around my front and back yard with some extra, but I did have to rip it all up and re-do it after changing the garden arrangement, and the second time I had to buy some knock off aftermarket pegs because there weren’t enough. I think the set up was easy, and I think I can rip it up and re-do it at a different house if I move. It snows here in the winter, so we just unplug the dock and put the mower inside the shed. Worked perfectly fine again once it got warm this year. We’ve used it for a season and haven’t needed to change the blade yet.

Okay so it did actually cut some grass just not like it was supposed to. I bought the thing because the people that made it believe in their product or at least I thought they do. They may actually believe in their product but if they do it is misguided. First let's start with the Pros Pros: I was able to box it up and return still waiting to see if I get a full refund. Besides that I don't think there is anything. It was quiet so I guess that's a pro. Cons: So it just wouldn't work. When it was cutting grass it was completely random so I would just get these lines that were about half the width of the machine all through my lawn. It could never really finish a mow. I expected it to get stuck a few times but it was so often and always after I had walked away or went to bed. I would wake up with a notification on my phone that landroid is trapped. I tried starting from my phone and it literally backed itself of the charger and turned and backed out of the boundary. It was a constant headache. Mind you my lawn is fairly simple and it is only 5000 sq. Ft. Far less than the 1/4 acre the mower is supposed to be able to handle. I do have depressions around my fairly young trees that it got stuck in. It got stuck on the tree couldn't figure out how to get around it. I also have a swing set that it was constantly stuck on. Perhaps if I would have gotten the anti-collision sensor for $300 more it would have solved some of those problems. It also couldn't find it's home and would just die on the boundary wire searching for home. The worst was it just couldn't cut the grass. Even when it had a successful hour or two of cutting grass it seemed nothing really got done except ugly lines that criss crossed randomly. It's $1000 it should have software comparable to a Roomba. I have a roborock vaccum. I am not a big fan of that vaccum but actually cleans the house which is way more complicated than my yard. Not to mention I don't have to spend 3 hours laying boundary wire for the vaccum. The landroid doesn't even map the yard it just drives randomly and does a bad job of it. My assumption is that all robo mowers are this way. They all require boundary wire and the landroid had the best reviews. Even if it could mow the lawn which it could not do, I would still have to weed eat. In the end it cost around a year's worth of landscape maintenance and could not even come close to replacing that service. It is not worth the money.

This Worx Landroid 1/4 acre mower looks like it is going to work very well for me. It takes some extra work to install properly - highly recommend burying the line so you will not have future problems with line breaks, but it does exactly what it advertises. I've only tested it for one full yard mow, but it never jumped the barrier line, does navigate through tight spots etc, and does cut the grass. It is super quiet! It takes several hours to mow because cutting path is only 8" wide, but it finds it's way around to everything eventually. Not jumping the wire barrier is a big deal - very happy with that. Negatives are that I had to buy a newer tablet to download the app, as I have an old iphone. And after finally downloading the app, I found out that my Android 11 tablet STILL cannot utilize very important features in the App. The mapping of lawn feature uses special software from Google that my device still does not support, even though Worx information stated Android 7 or newer was what was needed. I bought an Android 11, so am VERY disappointed that after spending another $150 just to be able to download the app, I cannot fully use it. I'm still trying to figure out a work around. The other negative is that the instructions are pretty brief, and I am not very tech saavy, so more details would be helpful. Also, be sure to read the Zone instructions very carefully - it is not designed the way I intuitively expected, so is not going to be as convenient as I thought long term, and I am going to have to make some splices and re-lay short sections of wire differently to get the zones to work at all I believe. This zone stuff doesn't make sense to me, but perhaps there is a reason I don't understand as to why it cannot be designed more intuitively and clearly. It also looks like the mower would still be able to leave the zone if it happened to line up right with the ~ 2 ft. corridor. Overall, this mower appears to be more well made and functions better than I expected. It, and the app, just seem to be designed less conveniently than I would of hoped.

I was a little apprehensive about buying this particular robot lawnmower because of some of the mixed reviews I had read about when it came to issues with boundary wire set up and just overall performance. With that said, I am so happy that I took a chance on it because my experience has been nothing but great! I will say that I followed the manual's directions down to a T. I had also been watching videos about robot lawnmowers, and particularly the Landroid, on-and-off for about a year before I finally purchased it, so I considered myself to be a little familiar with what the set up was going to be like before I actually got to set mine up. Long story short, follow all the directions and hopefully you will have a positive experience like mine. Although I would have been able to get away with the 1/8 acre model, I ended up opting for this 1/4 acre model because it comes with a 4.0Ah battery (versus 2.0Ah) and because it has 2 swivel wheels on the front (versus 1). I figured the extra 100-200 bucks was worth those two upgrades! I have centipede grass and for the most part my slope is flat, but I do have a few areas with slopes anywhere between 10° to 25°. I set up the boundary wire and charging base in my backyard, which is fenced in. When running the mower for the first time after having installed the wire, I recommend doing so with an edging job. Follow it all the way through until it reaches the charging station again. This will give you a good sense of whether or not you may need to make adjustments to the wire. For example, I had one area where I put the wire about 1 inch too close to my shed, causing the lawnmower to scrape against the siding, therefore I immediately fixed it after that first edging job. After having "tested" the mower for about a month within the fenced-in backyard, it was time to expand to the front yard, which is an 'unconnected zone' (as defined by Worx Wiki) since it is separated from the back yard by a fence. I followed Worx Wiki's instructions of creating two closed loops and this worked like a charm! Although the summer hasn't begun yet and I'll continue to have a better sense of how it will do on rapid growing grass, based on everything I've experienced so far (including grass beginning to grow a bit more as we entered Spring), I would highly recommend this mower. A few do's/dont's that I opted on (I am not saying this should be the case for everyone, just my personal preference): - Although I love the way I can set up the boundary wire for 90° outside turns, this ended up causing the rear wheels to dig into the yard when it is making that turn (since it uses the boundary wire to find its way back to the charging station, it is usually going to make that turn at least once, if not more, per job). After this having happened several times in the period of 1-2 weeks, it eventually ripped up the grass in that area. As a result, I am reducing the number of edging jobs to either none or just 1 per week. - I do not use the rain delay function (well, I have it 'On' but set to the highest delay which is 24 hours) because I have found that the back wheels can do some damage to the yard if the soil is still pretty wet. Sometimes it could take over 24 hours for the soil to be dry enough, therefore I want to be able to control when it is ideal for the mower to start working again. - When making any changes in the app (for example, changes in scheduling), don't forget to click 'Save' (on my Android app, it appears on the top/right corner of the screen and is not very intuitive). I can't tell you how many times I forgot to do this and then wondered why it didn't start mowing during the time I thought I had set lol. If I have anything to add during/after the summer, I will come back to update my review. For the time being, I am in love with this thing!

I was optimistic about this lawnmower but it was unable to work in my yard for several reasons. First, if it encounters a single "sweet gum ball" -- those brown spiky balls that fall from certain trees -- it will become completely stuck and you will have to manually remove the ball, lodged between the blades and the blade guard. This seems like a major design flaw of the blade guard and could also be susceptible to getting stuck from twigs or small rocks. I tried to remedy this issue by removing the blade guard, which make the mower much louder and may have had other complications (see below). Second, it does not have the power or traction to operate in sloped or potentially muddy yards. My yard has pockets of grass where the soil underneath does not drain completely, so for several days after a rain if you step on that patch of dirt it will compress slightly into mud. This mower has very little torque and immediately became hopelessly mired the small amount of mud. Other Landroid owners addressed the mower's poor traction by attaching a weight to the back of the mower to take some pressure off of the front wheels and angle the mower up slightly, to prevent its front wheels from plowing down into soft soil. I attached a 5-lb weight to the unit. In some countries, Worx sells "off-road" tires for the Landroid which are larger and seem to offer more traction, but these are not available in the US. I tried running this unit one final time, on a day when the sun had dried the soil completely. With the weight attached and the blade guard removed to prevent sweet gum ball-related failures, the mower did actually manage to operate for a few minutes -- however it started cutting deep groves in the yard for some reason, ruining the lawn in those patches. Ultimately I gave up at that point and returned the unit, replacing it with the pricier but more capable Husqvarna 315x. That robot mower is nearly twice the price but is able to navigate my yard under all conditions without fail. The installation kit included with this mower is nice, since Husqvarna charges nearly $200 for the same kit (it is not included with their mower). You must manually break apart the lawn spikes which is a nuissance, and you will almost certainly need to purchase additional spikes. But I did not have any issues with the cable breaking and it was simple though time consuming to install myself. The app and cloud functionality are sorely disappointing: the Landroid is only capable of using 2.4ghz wifi bands rather than the now-standard 5ghz band, and though my router emits both types of signals, I found that my ability to control the Landroid via the phone often did not work. Changing the schedule or manually starting the unit are cumbersome and not intuitive. Despite all these negatives, if you have a relatively small, flat, dry, sweet gum ball-free yard, then this unit may work quite well for you, and I do appreciate its ability to mow so close to fences or walls and mitigate the need for subsequent weed-wacking. However if your yard is imperfect, this unit may not work for you.

Using this in Utah where, due to drought we keep the lawn at 3" to preserve water. Our lawn also has a lot of contours and is edged by 4" metal edging that sits below the grass at cut height. We found that Landroid struggled in the 3" grass and seemed to spend more time trying to maneuver turns and contours of the yard through the 3" grass than actually cutting the grass. We also found that in maneuvering, the back wheel would often slip over the metal edge and the mower get stuck, even though we meticulously set the wire at the 10" distance per the instructions. We ran the mower over a 2,000 sqft foot area through 4 full battery charges, and still the lawn was only about 70% mowed. The sections that were cut looked good, and I think on shorter grass with perhaps a little less contour, Landroid could do a nice job. Set up was easy and the app is very handy. Wish it would have worked for us, but we ended up sending it back and going back to the walk-behind.

I use to work for a robotics company. We made driverless fork trucks and other autonomous vehicles. They drove around within various factories, manufacturing, and large newspaper facilities. So I've got a lot of historical experience with this type of technology just on a much larger scale. My mowing area is .25 to .4 acre yard (actually larger than the WR147 is rated for). I'm in a northern climate and prefer to cut my grass long. One reason I bought this is because it supports a 4" cut, though I'm setting it closer to 3". We're in our growing season again and after two weeks, it's been handling the yard well and I'm quite happy. Before my purchase, I was highly skeptical of the ability of the device to handle my yard. I have some slopes on the edges of the property, an apple tree, and lots of bushes and obstacles. I bought the base unit WR147 without any options. I have no ACS ultrasound vision, and no magnetic barriers. Out of the box I was very impressed. I had the unit operational within about 2 hours after delivery and yes I ran the border wire TWICE :). Upon starting, the robot even navigated over fallen apples. I wouldn't recommend leaving all of the fallen apples on the ground, but it did manage them. WOW! My only issues have been self-inflicted. I have a construction project going on and some areas of the yard are just dirt. The robot will occasionally get stuck if it needs to turn in the dirt. It tends to dig into the dirt during a turn and get stuck. In a normal grass yard this will not be an issue and none of these issues are the fault of the unit, but mentioned so you know it will do fine in normal grass but any areas where you may have exposed dirt could present a problem. Once my lawn grows back this problem will be resolved and is not negative for the robot. For all other obstacles, apples, sticks, bushes etc, it's handled them very very well. I also have some small nooks and corners, it has a TRAP escape mode and it works amazingly well to get in an out of these tight spaces. I also liked that it is Bluetooth and WiFi based, I didn't want a cellular connected device. It will work without WiFi but is nice to grab the phone and see its status. It has lost connection to the WiFI a few times while at the charging station and I've had to go wake it up or reset it. It's well within range of the WiFI Access Point so it is definitely something about the unit or a compatibility with my WiFi. FYI one of my day job duties is installing WiFi in hotels, schools, and large offices. So I know my WiFi is okay since I'm using enterprise devices not he typical consumer level devices. The App and configuration is a little confusing, it could be more streamlined. A technology challenged person may have some trouble, but it does indeed work well once setup. One suggestion to the designers: It doesn't seem to have an inertia sensors. So it doesn't know when it's not moving. I've found it in my dirt areas spinning its wheels but not going anywhere. Again it is my fault for the yard condition but if it had some inertia sensors and logic then it could detect that it was stuck. I also think adding a compass (if it doesn't have one) might help it learn the basic geometry of some yards without the GPS option. Lastly I really like the al-a-cart aspect. I like that I'm not forced to buy things I don't want. It kept the cost down and allows the consumer to buy the extra features we want. In my case I think I'll be buying the ACS Vision system, but even without it I'm very very happy. Last words.. Buy it. I threw a challenging yard at it and it surpassed my expectations.

A intoxicated toddler with a pocketknife can mow a larger lawn better than this. It generally takes about an hour and a half to mow the front and back yards, but I just purchased this to do a fenced backyard (about half the work). I'm not sure why you'd need to run the code in a completely enclosed backyard (my Roomba doesn't require one to work in a gated home), but it won't start without it. It's a little disappointing because the cables have snapped three times in the week and a half since I installed it, despite the fact that the installation only took him 1 hour and 15 minutes. And I had to wait a week after purchase because they ran out of inserts and had to order more (they only provided me approximately two-thirds of what I actually needed to keep my preferred wire low). If you want it to work, I strongly advise you to insert the wire. This adds a lot of effort and time to the installation, and you have to walk out there every night to find the little stick it's lodged in and replace it in the charging station. I spent about three hours last week working on this. I was able to mow the garden for it four times during that time. In terms of "intelligence," the Roomba I purchased 5 years ago is far superior. It is as intelligent as the first Roomba, which was released in 2002, although it was released 20 years later. It requires much better software (if this stops, you can use the machine's button to manually restart it). There appears to be no rhythm or rationale for the buttons to be pressed, and the PIN is unnecessary). Change the Bluetooth for WiFi (the app is lying; you can't connect unless you're less than 15 feet away, and it barely works anyhow), replace the cables with a real sensor, and increase the size and bulk. I used a toothpick to stop it. If you have children, neighbors, pets, or trees, we do not suggest this mower. In either case, it will need more time and work than you have spent mowing, as well as an additional $1,000.

I have an 80 sq.m. backyard (about 860 sq.ft. or 0.02 acre) with a Dutch white clover lawn. The Landroid does an excellent job keeping the clover trimmed short without letting it flower, which keeps the lawn looking green with minimal watering, even during a heatwave. Physical installation wasn’t too difficult, but the most tedious part was laying down the boundary wire. Getting both inner and outer 90° turns right was difficult even with or without the provided paper template. Either the mower bumped into objects or it left small uncut patches. The app is straightforward, easy to pair, and simple to set up. Wi-Fi connectivity has been rock solid, and the mower stays connected to my router 24/7. I can control the unit from anywhere, whether on the road or at work. I’m not sure if it uses MQTT, but the Worx Cloud service has been fast and reliable. I haven’t experienced any downtime in my first season of use. I set the schedule manually to mow every day for one hour, since clover requires frequent trimming. One pass isn’t enough, but with multiple passes from different directions, the results are very good. After 1 hour, usually I have around 60% battery left. Just give you an idea. The rain delay feature works perfectly. Honestly, don’t waste money on the optional “garage” otherwise rain delay may not work according to what I read. This machine is built to stay outdoors, no problem for me. As for the “Cut to Edge” feature, it feels more like marketing gimmick than reality. Even after carefully adjusting the wire placement, the mower can’t achieve a truly clean edge, especially in tight corners. I simply trim the edges manually every couple of weeks, which isn’t too much hassle. The price is a bit high, alternatively you can definitely get a cheaper China brand instead. The reason I bought this because of the name Worx and I can get replacement battery easily even at my local hardware store (Canadian Tire) since they have a whole product line of battery power tools and gardening devices. Let's talk about the bad parts: 1. Most of the time, the mower returns to its base and charges without issue. However, on one occasion it parked, it looked like it slipped off the contact points due to sagging of the plastic base over time and developed a slope outwards. I received a “wire missing” error, I couldn’t control it remotely, and had to go outside to reset it—only to find it had powered itself off for no apparent reason. The base has green LED meaning wire is not missing. (See photos of my "wire missing" screenshot). They need to fix this issue, it shouldn't power off the whole unit, it should let me either remote control unit or automatically go find the boundary wire again and schedule to go home. Fail. Solution: back fill some soil and make it level. But the "wire missing" message is totally WRONG. After I made the base level again, it hasn't happened since then. 2. Another issue appeared at the end of my yard: a strange bare line in the clover. After inspection, I realized the mower was losing traction while turning near the boundary on a slight slope. The wheels kept slipping and wore down the grass in a straight path. Something to keep in mind if your yard has terrain that the mower can't handle. Solution: Reddit and forums suggested to use weight to solve the issue, it's a common issue that back of the mower doesn't have enough weight. Alternatively you can buy the wheel spike to solve the traction problem. But I prefer the weight solution. So, I bought a 4 lb diving weight, it's vinyl coated and weatherproof, taped it on top of the battery compartment using 3M removable locking fastener. Problem solved. Despite a few quirks and learning curves, I’m very happy with this mower. It keeps my clover lawn green, healthy, and well-maintained with minimal effort on my part.

It has been a learning curve of several days on setting up the boundaries so the Landroid will successfully cut the grass without incident. The Best advice I can give everyone, is to keep the "Boundary Wire 11 inches from anything & everything including curbs, flowerbed boarders, stairs, the wheel barrel, & everything else. In order for the Landroid to find its way to the charging station, it centers itself in the MIDDLE of the boundary wire, & follows it all the way back to the Charging Station. The second important thing, is MAKE SURE there is 3 Feet of perfectly straight boundary wire leading back to the charging station. Any less than this....it will over-shoot the station & not charge.! Lastly, programming of times & days is easiest by using the app on your phone.! Insofar as its ability to cut the grass, it does a very good job & no complaints there. Schedule it for 3 days a week, for 2 hours each of those days...and your lawn will look just fine!!

Install went well. Set mower on my perfectly manicured 3 inch tall lawn and pressed start. The mower began cutting the grass, but very low at 2 inches. I adjusted the mower to the highest cut setting but no change in cut height. I contacted customer support and they apologized and said I'd need to ship the unit to them. They offered to cover postage and agreed to send me the information in an email. 1 week later I have not received the postage slip so contact them again. " We'll get that to you today or tomorrow". 1 week later and no postage so I call again. I learn that getting international postage ( repair center is in north Carolina) takes a long time ( 2 +weeks!?). I also learn that repairs can take 21+ days before my unit is returned to me. At this point, I've owned the unit for 2.5 weeks and all I have to show for it is a ridiculous pattern scalped into my lawn. Not impressed. I decided to return this defective unit and receive a refund. This seller DOES NOT fully reimburse you for returned shipping. For me, shipping a 50 lb box to Mississauga was$90. The seller offered to reimburse me $3.99. What a scam. All in all, I wasted my time with this mower, it's support staff and I lost $87 for the privilege. If the seller wants to make this right and refund me my $87, I'll amend this post to reflect the. CANADIAN BUYERS BEWARE.

UPDATE-2025. This thing is a must have, so much time saved all summer I actually have taken up golfing! Haha. Best thing I have ever bought for the yard. 2023- I travel for work a lot, always come home to the backyard overgrown and needing a cut. My old lawnmower struggled due to the lawn being too long because I am away all week. I bought this Landdroid hoping I would be hands off and get some time back while I am home to do other projects. Set it up in 1-2 hrs and a few adjustments to some obstacles in my yard and it has been going hard for last 3 months! The yard is always cut and the lawn hasn't looked better in years because it is never overgrown. IF you want to get 5+ hours per month of your life back to do other stuff then mow a lawn, I highly recommend the Landroid

J'ai un terrain de 5000 pieds carrés et donc surdimensionné pour mon terrain mais je voulais avoir assez de fil de périmètre pour le robot. Je déplore la longueur de fil et le nombre de pieux fournit car ce n'est pas suffisant pour un terrain de ville. En plus le fil additionnel et les pieux sont dispendieux pour compléter la pose sur le pourtour du terrain. Ceci étant dit, il fonctionne très bien lorsque la pose du fil est terminée (ce qui demande toutefois un travail assez important mais que j'espère sera pour plusieurs années).
