MoeBot S5/S10 Review (2022)

Quick Review

This Australian robotic mower ticks all the boxes on paper.

Equipped with a powerful 3500rpm cutting blade motor, this little machine is well suited to tackle that Buffalo grass that we Australians hate to love.

While this mower has the most powerful motor in its class, it remains one of the smallest robotic mowers on the market, talk about big things coming in small packages...

This small yet robust outer body of the MoeBot S-series allows it to easily navigate through narrow corridors and around obstacles.

At the same time, the MoeBot S5 and S10 come equipped with all the bells and whistles of other robotic mowers in its class, including wifi compatibility, auto-recharging, auto-scheduling, full control via mobile app, tilt/lift sensors, security alarms and much more.

However, the price tag is what really grabs your attention. Other robot lawn mowers with these sorts of features will usually set you back AU$1800+ for a base model.

The S5 will retail $990, which is almost half the price of similar models in its category.

If the MoeBot S-series can do all that the manufacturer says it can do, then we might just be looking at the robotic mower that can finally crack the Australian market.

What's the Difference Between the MoeBot S5 and S10?

The only difference between the MoeBot S5 and the Moebot S10 is the battery. Both models are the same in every way apart from the battery.

The S5 has a battery capacity of 2.6Ah, while the S10 has a capacity of 5.2Ah. 

The S5 is designed to mow smaller sized gardens at 600m² with a mowing time of 60 minutes, while the S10 is designed for larger areas of 1400m² with a mowing time of 120 minutes.

With the bigger battery, the S10 also weighs 0.5Kg more than the S5 at 8.9Kg.

The cool thing about this is that if you decide that you want a model with a bigger cutting area and battery life, you can simply purchase the larger battery and easily install it yourself at home!

This is far cheaper than having to buy a whole new robotic mower.
