Worx Landroid M1000 WR140E Review (2021)
The king of domestic robotic mowers
Landroid WR140E Pricing
The Worx Landroid WR140E will set you back $1600-$1700 (£900). If you'd like to add some additional extras, you'll be paying $199 for the anti-collision system (ACS), $149 for the virtual off-limits fence and $129 for the Landroid garage.
The pricing is reasonable for what you're getting. However, you'll definitely want to order the ACS, which dramatically increases the machine's performance.

Landroid WR140E Performance
So far, the Landroid WR140E looks amazing!..on paper...Now it's time to see how well the Landroid performs in the real world!
Cut To Edge
One of the marketing points of the M1000 is it's ability to cut much closer to the edge than other brands and models often getting with a few centimetres of the borderline.
This really comes in handy if you don't have a trimmer laying around.
Mow-to-charge Ratio
As long as you give the mower enough mowing time, you can expect to have a beautiful and freshly cut lawn to be proud of. The Worx Landroid has a great mowing to charging ratio.
On average, your Worx WR140E is going to last around 120 minutes while mowing and only require 90 minutes to fully recharge and begin mowing again. This is exceptional when compared to other models in the market when the mowing to charging ratio is well in favour of the charging time.
Worx Anti-Collision System (ACS)
The ACS system does an incredible job of avoiding obstacles in its path. However, the operating system turns the ACS off in low power mode or anytime it receives a return home command.
If your lawn has more than a few obstacles then we would highly recommend getting this add-on. The ACS will undoubtedly save your robot mower from a few bumps and scratches every now and then which may accumulate over the lifetime of your M1000.
Does the Landroid WR140E Work on Rough Terrain?
Due to the rugged design and large, spiked rear wheels, the Work Landroid M1000 can navigate through some pretty rough terrain. The robotic mower can also operate on slopes of up to 24°.
The Landroid isn't going to be climbing over rocks or like a Landcruiser but it will still get through some moderately rough mowing conditions and get the job done.

Worx Landroid WR140E Vs Husqvarna Automower 115H
The Husqvarna Automower 115H would have to be the Landroids biggest competitor, while both being pretty similar in capabilities, let's take a look at which one of robotic mowers has the edge...
Landroid WR140E Vs Husqvarna Automower 115H: Features
When it comes to features, both the Landroid and the Automower are pretty evenly matched. Both models offer auto-scheduling, mobile app connectivity, and automatic charging.
The WR140E beats the Automower in terms of tilt capacity 19°, while the Automower can tilt around 18°.
The Automower has a larger working area of up to 1600m² which trumps the Landroid at a still respectable 1000m².
Overall, they both have very similar features, with not too much separating the models.
Landroid WR140E Vs Husqvarna Automower 115H: Battery Capacity
The Landroid blows the Automower 115H out of the water in this category with 120 minutes mow time and a 90 minute recharge time compared to the Husqvarnas 60 minute mow time and 60 minute recharge time. While both are very respectable scores, the Worx 20v 4.0 battery is far more superior in this instance.
Landroid WR140E Vs Husqvarna Automower 115H: Safety
Both these models are fairly evenly matched safety-wise. Both models have tilt and lift sensors with a quick-stop blade to prevent any accidents. It's safe to say that both co
