FAQ's & Benefits

Autmow provides the worlds top-rated robotic lawn mowers and ensures that our team of experts will be there every step of the way. From purchase to installation, long-term care and maintenance, we want to make sure that every aspect of your autonomous lawn mower experience is easy, efficient and affordable.

Your Time: Spend time doing the things you love — caring for your family, honing your skills, and relaxing — instead of toiling on the lawn.
A healthier Lawn: Robotic mowers are consistent—always knowing when to get out there for a trim.
This naturally fertilizes your lawn, and avoids the buildup and lawn suffocation that occurs after neglecting your lawn for one too many days.
Better for The Planet: Forget the loud roar of a lawnmower you have to shout over. Robotic mowing uses just a few kWh, making it so quiet that you can run it in the middle of the night with the windows open… and still hear the crickets.

The latest technology in the lawn care industry, a robotic lawn mower is an autonomous robot that is responsible for cutting grass.
New technologies mean not all mowers require a wired perimeter/boundary (see section on “Robotic Mower Types”).
Robotic lawn mowers first entered production in 1995 and can now handle several acres if needed. They are meant to be completely autonomous, and some can be integrated into your Home Automation.

Autonomous is defined as having the freedom to operate itself and has its own controls. Autonomous lawn mowers have the ability to operate and mow lawns on their own with the settings and controls from the operator. Once installed and setup, there is no physical demand needed for the robotic mower to run.

Yes! This is one of the many perks that come with owning a robotic lawn mower. Each mower can be set to a specific profile and the operator can customize the date and time of when and what you want it to mow.

Robotic lawn mowers are designed to operate in all weather conditions with the exceptions of extreme wet and freezing conditions. Once fall and winter hit, your grass will stop growing depending on where you live, in this case it is best to store your mower in your garage. Simply give it a full charge before you put it away for the winter.

Either wired or wireless installations allow the robotic lawn mower to have no-go/stay out zones set to maneuver around and objects in the lawn without a problem. Robotic lawn mowers also have built-in sensors which keep them from getting stuck on any other unexpected items. A robotic lawn mower is designed to stop its cutting system and redirect if needed.

We are proud to offer our customers one of the most extensive lists of robotic solutions on the market.
We’ve spent years researching the products, brands and industry. Autmow is the culmination of this research. Our service-first model utilizes the best autonomous mowers available in the US.
We constantly research and test new and emerging technologies and will offer these to our customers once we are satisfied it meets our criteria for Features, Performance, Reliability and Safety. See our “Robotic Mower Brands – Features and Benefits” section for current brands we offer.

Unlike most power equipment, a robotic lawn mower rarely requires any maintenance. While inspection and light cleaning is always a good thing to do so that your equipment runs efficiently for a long time, robotic lawn mowers do not require special equipment to keep their blades sharp. These lightweight mowers make it cheap and easy to simply replace the blades periodically and they won’t take up much space in your garage when stored for the winter.

• Wired vs RTK vs Vision vs 3D LiDAR SLAM?
  • Robotic mowers using a Perimeter/boundary wire
    A boundary wire is placed or buried around the edge of your lawn and any obstacles your robotic mower should avoid. This wire is fully customizable so the mower reaches only what it’s supposed to and leaves the rest.
    Pros: More choice of brands/models available, no issues with buildings or trees, no issues working in varied lighting conditions.
    Cons: Installation is more time consuming, possibility of wire breaks
  • Random mowing vs systematic mowing
    Wired mowers use a Random mowing algorithm, which is based on the time needed to compete cutting a certain size area. The mower will make multiples passes over the same area from different angles, which results in a smooth carpet like result (striping/pattern cutting is not possible). RTK/GNSS and some vision-based mowers have the ability of systematic mowing, where they can mow in stripes or patterns. Systematic mowing is also more efficient – typically being able to mow twice the area of random in the same time.
  • RTK/GNSS robotic mowers
    GNSS RTK stands for Global Navigation Satellite System Real-Time Kinematic. It is a technique used in satellite-based positioning systems to provide highly accurate positioning information in real-time. GNSS is a general term for global navigation satellite systems like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou.
    RTK works by using data from a fixed reference station, which continuously transmit corrections for satellite signals based on their known positions. A mobile receiver on the mower can then use this correction data to compute its own precise position relative to the reference station.
    Pros: Faster and easier to install and modify than a wired mowers.
    Cons: Limitations of poor GPS signal when used heavy tree coverage or taller/metal buildings.
  • Vision-based robotic mowers
    There are multiple approaches to Vision based robotic mowers, some use sensors/cameras to detect boundaries and obstacles while others use cameras to make a virtual map of your lawn and any obstacles.
    Pros: Faster and easier to install than a wired mower
    Cons: Camera and sensor based system have issue with low light conditions so cannot work at night
  • RTK with 3D LiDAR SLAM robotic mowers
    SLAM stands for simultaneous localization and mapping (sometimes called synchronized localization and mapping). It is the process of mapping an area whilst keeping track of the device’s location within that area. This is what makes mobile mapping possible.
    A LiDAR-based SLAM system uses a laser sensor to generate a 3D map of its environment. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) measures the distance to an object by illuminating the object using an active laser “pulse”. These high-precision distance measurements can be used along with GNSS/RTK to fill in the “blind spots” caused by poor GPS reception.
    Pros: Faster and easier to install and modify than wired mowers, more reliable than GPS/RTK only systems as it will work in “blind spots” where the GPS signal is bad
    Cons: It is still an emerging technology, and no proven/tested mower is currently available

The main advantage of All/4-wheel drive is the ability to operate on steeper slopes/inclines where a 2-wheel drive model might lose traction. All wheel drive models can typically operate up to 70-75% (35-37 degrees) where a 2 wheel drive can operate between 25-45% (14-24 degrees)

Some robotic mowers have better edging capability depending onwheel design and maneuverability. A robotic lawn mower uses a buried wire or a virtual map (depending on mower type) to navigate the edges of your lawn to ensure a clean cut in any area you need mowed. These mowers are designed to overlap the wire to ensure that all of the grass is cut, however you will still need to trim in areas where the grass grows along a wall. This trimming is needed because the robotic mowing blades are recessed from the edge fore safety regulations.

No – mowers are built for lawns up to 1.25 acres (wireless mowers up to 2.5 acres) and multiple units can maintain larger yards.

If you choose our professional installation, we will bury the boundary and other guide wires for you. Our technicians have the experience and know the best way to install your mower on your property.
You can also do this yourself, but many DIY kits include above-ground wire and small stakes designed to grow into your lawn quickly.

Clear any debris, toys, sticks, or stones before operation on the lawn. Large obstacles can be made into No-go zones to prevent mowers entering certain areas (swimming pools, flower beds, lawn furniture etc.) – either wired or virtual No-go zones for wireless mowers.

Wired: A boundary wire is placed or buried around the edge of your lawn and any obstacles Automower® should avoid. This wire is fully customizable, so the mower reaches only what it should and leaves the rest.

RTK/GNSS: Husqvarna EPOS™ (Exact Positioning Operating System) is a breakthrough technology for Automower® robotic lawn mowers. The satellite-based technology enables the mower to work within virtual boundaries.

A guide wire helps Automower® navigate back to the charging station when the mower is in a remote corner of the lawn (non-EPOS models only).

Three (or 5) uniquely designed blades quietly and safely cut the grass without damaging property or foreign objects.

When it’s time to recharge, Automower® will navigate to the charging station automatically, either via signal, GPS, or by following the wires.

Select Automower® models also use GPS to help navigate your lawn and boost efficiency.

Automower® cuts a little grass at a time, staying ahead of growth and fertilizing the lawn naturally with the tiny clippings. The irregular mowing pattern will make your lawn carpet-like, cutting the grass from all directions.

If Automower® encounters an object, it will stop, reverse, and go in another direction. When lifted, the blades automatically and immediately shut off.

Anti-Theft prevents anyone from using or driving your mower unless they have a valid code to enter.
Geofence: Once set you will receive a Push Notification if the mower exceeds the Geofence set boundary.

If you use the remote control option when mapping, ensure that there is a gap of at least 15 cm from the boundary, turning points are at least 90° and that the slopes of boundaries do not exceed 15°.
The boundaries of a map must be at least one meter from lakes and cliffs.

If the grass is too long, use a walk-behind mower to mow the grass to 80 mm or shorter.
Remove any trash or animal waste in the grass before mowing.
Pay attention to children and animals while mowing to avoid any injuries.

A separate zone is an area the RK cannot reach by itself, due to walls, fences, level difference and conditions where a narrow pass cannot be used. The user carries the robot to this area and manually send it to mow. Once mowing time is complete (Or robot needs recharging), user to carry it back to the base station.

Robomow detects when there is an obstacle in its way during operation. When the mower collides with an obstacle, the mower will stop the rotation of the blades immediately, and then stop movement in that direction and reverse itself away from the obstacle. Obstacles that are vertical, relatively rigid, and higher than 6in (15cm) do not need to be protected or removed from the lawn.

Installation time will depend on the size and complexity of your lawn. Just make sure you read the Installation Guide and the Owner’s Manual completely before starting.
For example, if you have a 100m² lawn then it’ll take about 30-60 minutes to complete the installation work, but also depends on your proficiency.

It’s best to write your PIN code down in a safe place or register your Worx Landroid at www.worxlandroid.com and record your PIN code online. This will help you to retrieve your PIN code.
Please note failure to record and remember your PIN code could result in you not being able to use Worx Landroid and could result in additional service charges to make Worx Landroid operational.

1. An object with a height less than the Worx Landroid will not detect 15cm as an obstacle, such as small branches, stones, etc. You should remove them from the territory of Landroid.
2. An object such as a trampoline with a low frame leg height, in this case, you can either isolate the trampoline from the territory of Worx Landroid or place larger obstacles in front so that Worx Landroid can detect it.
3. Something that can be pushed by Landroid, such as inflatable toys. You should remove them from the lawn.
4. Something that Landroid can climb on.

No, they can’t. We recommend children and pets are kept away from Worx Landroid when it is mowing.
