The Mammotion LUBA mini AWD robot lawn mower stands out with its impressive off-road capability, handling slopes up to 80% and obstacles as high as 80mm thanks to its adaptive suspension and omni-wheels. This makes it a great option for uneven or rough lawns where many mowers might struggle. It automatically maps your lawn up to 1500 m² and sets virtual boundaries without needing wires, which simplifies setup. Its AI vision system helps it avoid obstacles like children or pets, and it can mow close to edges with high precision, cutting grass down to 2 cm and up to 6.5 cm in height.
Battery-wise, it uses a high-capacity lithium battery providing up to 180 minutes of runtime, which is sufficient to cover up to 324 m² per hour. This means it can work continuously in medium-sized yards without frequent recharges. At 29.42 kg, it's heavier than some models, reflecting its sturdy build designed for tough terrain. The mower is waterproof with an IPX6 rating, allowing it to work in wet conditions, and has features like rain detection and app control for monitoring and notifications.
The maximum recommended area is about 1000 m², so very large lawns might need multiple sessions or a different machine. Its noise level is reasonably low at 60 dB, making it less disruptive. This mower is ideal for users with medium-sized, uneven lawns who want a smart, autonomous mower that’s tough on challenging terrain and easy to manage via app. However, if you have a very large flat lawn or need a lighter mower, you might explore other options.
The Greenworks 48V cordless lawnmower is a strong choice for anyone with a medium-sized garden up to about 460m². It uses two 24V 4Ah lithium-ion batteries, which provide good power and a decent runtime on a single charge. Thanks to its brushless motor, it promises better reliability and lower maintenance compared to traditional petrol mowers. The 46cm cutting width means it can cover lawn areas efficiently without feeling too bulky, while the adjustable cutting height ranges from 25mm to 95mm, allowing flexibility for different grass lengths and seasons.
You can also choose to mulch, side discharge, or collect clippings in the large 55-litre bag, which is handy for keeping your lawn neat. The self-propelled feature with large rear wheels makes it easier to maneuver without needing much effort, which is great if you find pushing heavy mowers tiring. Weighing around 27 kg, it’s not the lightest mower but still manageable, especially with the folding handlebar for storage. The deck is made from a mix of aluminium and plastic, balancing durability with weight.
Assembly is required, and although the mower is quite powerful, its battery runtime might vary depending on grass conditions and terrain. It comes with a solid 3-year guarantee and a 2-year battery warranty, reflecting confidence in its build quality. For those seeking a quiet, environmentally friendly alternative to petrol mowers for a mid-sized lawn and appreciate ease of use, this Greenworks model could be a good fit.
The Worx WG743E.1 is a solid choice if you have a medium to large garden of up to around 500 square meters and want a cordless lawn mower. It runs on a 40V battery system that includes two 4.0Ah lithium-ion batteries, providing decent runtime and allowing you to swap batteries for longer mowing sessions. Thanks to its IntelliCut technology, it smartly adjusts blade speed based on grass thickness, which helps save battery life. With a 40cm cutting width, it balances maneuverability and coverage well for typical home lawns. The mower features 7 height adjustment positions, making it easy to customize the cut to your lawn’s needs, from short to taller grass. Its alloy steel deck is durable and designed to cut close to edges, reducing the need for extra trimming.
Weighing about 17kg (38 lbs), it’s not the lightest mower, so it might require some effort to push, especially on uneven ground. The integrated rear roller also adds a nice striped finish to your lawn for a professional look. Another handy feature is the 2-in-1 bag and mulching option, letting you choose between collecting grass clippings or naturally fertilizing your lawn. The foldable handle and carry handle improve storage and transport.
This mower offers good power, versatility, and eco-friendly operation, making it a practical option for those wanting a cleaner, cordless alternative to petrol mowers. If you have a very large garden or prefer the lightest possible mower, you might want to consider models with larger battery capacity or lighter weight.
