Pros & cons
Worx Landroid S WR165
- ✓Complete wire install kit in the box, with far more wire than an eighth acre needs
- ✓Cut to Edge offset blade and a floating disc, the same as the pricier M and L
- ✓Battery swaps into the whole Worx 20V Power Share line
- ✓Street prices around $600 to $750 undercut its $999.99 list by a wide margin
- ✗2.4 in maximum cut height rules out tall-fescue lawns
- ✗2.0Ah pack means short runs and many dock trips
- ✗Bumper-only obstacle handling; ultrasonic avoidance is a paid add-on
