Toro Robot Mowers

The VM125 is the bigger Toro Haven: the same camera-only body as the VM75 with a 12,000 mAh (216 Wh) battery good for 4.5 hours per charge, a 90-minute recharge, faster ground speed and, unique to this model, ultrasonic sensors that spot obstacles before the cameras and bumper have to. It is rated for 1.25 acres, climbs 47 percent (25 degree) slopes and cuts a 10-inch path from 0.75 to 3.25 inches, sealed to IPX6 with night-capable cameras and a 2-year warranty. Toro's site lists it at $4,499, up from $3,999 at the spring 2025 launch, and it is dealer-only. Everything else about the Haven applies: mapping is a walk pushing the mower, the SmartZone pattern is random rather than rows, the blades leave about 4 inches of edge for a trimmer, and the mower talks to an Ethernet-wired hub with no cellular option. An acre and a quarter of random-pattern mowing means it will be out most days, which is where the long runtime earns its keep. At this price the Mammotion Luba 3 AWD 5000 covers the same 1.25 acres with LiDAR plus cameras, row mowing and 80 percent slopes for about $3,299, so the VM125 is for buyers who specifically want a camera system that works under tree canopy and a Toro dealer to call.

Best for Acre-plus lawns under heavy tree cover where GPS and RTK mowers struggle and a Toro dealer relationship matters.

The Haven VM75 is Toro's first robot mower and the only camera-only robot from a major US outdoor-power brand. Four onboard cameras build a 3D point-cloud map of the yard, so there is no wire to bury, no RTK antenna and no GPS to lose under trees; you map by pushing the mower around the perimeter and zig-zagging the interior. It was shown in early 2024, slipped a year, and reached dealers in spring 2025 at $3,499; Toro's site now lists $3,999 for the 3/4-acre model, and it is dealer-only with no online checkout. The spec sheet is solid: a 10-inch deck with four blades, 0.75 to 3.25 inch cut, 47 percent (25 degree) slopes, 3 hours per charge with a 1-hour recharge, IPX6 weatherproofing, night mowing and 2-year warranty on a 41-pound body. The catches are in Toro's own help center: SmartZone mowing is a random pattern rather than rows, the blades stop short of the shroud so about 4 inches of edge needs a trimmer, the mower talks to a hub that must be wired to your router by Ethernet, and there is no cellular option. Reviewers who saw the 2024 pre-production units praised the push-to-map setup and app, and later noted Toro had not finalized details by launch. Against the Worx Landroid Vision AI WR220 ($2,499, half acre) it covers more lawn with a wider deck for $1,500 more; against a Segway Navimow X350 at the same money you give up RTK row mowing for a dealer and a brand name.

Best for Tree-covered or fenced lawns up to 3/4 acre where GPS mowers lose signal and the owner wants a Toro dealer behind the purchase.
