🔥STILL A GOOD CHOICE in 2024?!🧐 Long-term test WORX LANDROID VISION Robotic lawnmower After 1 year😱

Does it detect human sh*t?
Someone keeps sh*tting in my yard.

I returned mine after a week. Completely useless unless you have a very simple lawn with few bushes/trees and all fenced in. Spent a week trying to get it to work. It got stuck, found its way to the garage 2/10 times, escaped our lawn and I found it travelling down the street. And yes it actually just run over the magnetic bands on some occasion.

I'm subscribing because of a honest review!

I have bought one and they’re junk unless you have a perfectly flat lawn. They’re stuck all the time. Junk junk junk

Expensive piece of …

My older Landroid with its vision sensors is junk. With the vision sensor on, it gets stuck on my lawn table but then avoids high grass. Just the opposite of what I wanted. Was thinking of buying one of the newer ones, but 2 Gs is quite expensive.

I've used mine one season plus. It does a good job of actual mowing – when it mows.

Frequent problems – 1) Failing to find the charging station. This happens at least two or three times weekly, sometimes more. Where the station was located, how it was positioned, didn't matter. 2) Stopped in the yard. No apparent reason, no error transmitted. Often in the middle of the yard. Maybe weekly.

Less frequent – 3) Dirty camera. Not unexpected, but required cleaning. 4) Intermittent poor WiFi connection, with a powerful home mesh system, sometimes requiring reconnecting. All of these required direct attention, in the yard, night or day, rain or shine.

A secondary problem is multiple grass-less areas, which the mower will not cross. This blocks one whole section of my yard that still must be manually mowed. Another problem is virtually no manufacturer direct support, particularly for the US – this product is clearly designed and mostly used by European consumers. The software is also less than perfect, and the Statistics section has never recorded charging sessions. It does a satisfactory cut, and would be suitable for the typical European, small, flat lawn with few trees or plantings, and well-defined borders. For a typical larger and more complex American yard – 1/2 acre or larger, with large trees or landscaped areas, and multiple sections – not so much.

The positive features of this mower and concept is that it doesn't require a boundary wire. That type of installation is MUCH more reliable and stable, but in our yard required frequent repairs due to rodent damage, and the installation is of course more expensive. The Vision does work – even if less than perfectly – and the usual fix for the above was just walking out, replacing the battery and hitting the "Start" button. There are more automowers coming to market with newer technology that may well replace this marginal one, but yet to be widely deployed, so this fairly primitive camera-based option is pretty much it if you 1) don't want a border wire, and 2) don't have a yard layout suitable for GPS/RTK guidance (which is superior in almost every way). A good GPS signal requires a virtually tree-free yard however, and the signal can be blocked by the house itself. Some mowers are coming out with combined LIDAR/GPS/camera technology which may be the answer, yet TBD.
