Worx Landroid M WR147
The Landroid M is Worx's quarter-acre boundary-wire mower and, thanks to the 20V Power Share battery it shares with every other Worx tool, it is usually one of the cheapest ways into robot mowing that still comes with a real app. Worx lists it at $1,199.99, but it sells for around $900 on Amazon and Walmart has been clearing it below $800, so shop around. Setup is the classic wire job: 820 feet of wire and 340 pegs are in the box, and plan on an afternoon of pegging. Once running, the AIA algorithm handles narrow passages without a guide wire, the off-center blade genuinely cuts to the edge, the floating blade disc lifts over bumps, and at 59 dB it is quiet enough to run at night. The catch is what it lacks: no camera or ultrasonic sensor in the box, so it bumps into anything the wire does not exclude, and there is no GPS tracking unless you buy the Find My Landroid module. Against the Gardena SILENO flex at $599 you pay more for a 3.5 in top cut height and Wi-Fi control; against the wire-free Landroid Vision you save several hundred dollars but do the wire work yourself. Best for flat, fairly open yards under a quarter acre owned by someone who already has Worx batteries in the garage.

Specifications
How it navigates
Perimeter boundary wire (820 ft of wire and 340 pegs included); Worx's AIA algorithm threads passages as narrow as the mower without a guide wire; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth app scheduling, no GPS positioning.
Boundary-wire mower: budget an afternoon (or an installer) for the perimeter wire before the first mow.
Highlights
Pros
- ✓Street price around $900 against a $1,199.99 list, and often less on clearance

Pros and cons above are drawn from the manufacturer’s spec sheet and published reviews; this model is too new for a body of owner reports.
Owner Insightssummarized from owner forums and retailer reviews
The Landroid M WR147 is Worx's quarter-acre boundary-wire mower and, at around $900 street, one of the cheapest robots that comes with a real Wi-Fi app and a three-year warranty. The owner verdict is a clear split: people with flat, open, well-prepped lawns describe it as a set-and-forget appliance that made the grass thicker and cut their trimming to almost nothing, while people with roots, dips, soft ground or a real slope describe a machine that needs rescuing several times a week. Almost nobody complains about the cut itself.
Setup is a three-to-four-hour wire job for a quarter acre and owners are unanimous that the wire is where the ongoing effort lives - blades clip surface-laid wire before it settles, pegs heave over winter, and every break means an E1 error and a hunt with an AM radio. Navigation inside the wire is random-pattern with the AIA routine for narrow passages, which reliably clears 4 ft side yards but cannot prioritize the patch it keeps missing. Cut quality is where it earns its keep: the offset disc mows to within an inch or two of edges, the floating deck avoids scalping, and daily micro-mulching visibly greens the lawn within a couple of months. The app is fine when connected, but it only speaks 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, drops off mesh networks, and the rain sensor's dew false-alarms are a running joke among owners.
It is best for a flat, fairly open lawn under a quarter acre owned by someone willing to do a weekend of wire work and an hour of root-and-dip prep. Against the Gardena SILENO flex at $599 you pay roughly $300 more for Wi-Fi control, a rain sensor and edge cutting; against the wire-free Landroid Vision WR208 at $1,349 you save several hundred dollars and get the same blade system but inherit the wire. Deal-breakers owners name: a sloped or bumpy yard (the stock wheels spin and the 30 percent rating is optimistic), a mesh-only home network, and any expectation that Worx support will move quickly when the power supply or dock fails.
What owners like
- +The offset Cut to Edge disc genuinely reaches borders - a six-month owner put string trimming at 80 to 90 percent less, with only fence posts and tight corners left to do by hand
- +AIA navigation threads narrow passages without a guide wire; a 4 ft strip between a house and a fence got mowed reliably where random-bounce mowers stall
- +The lawn looks thicker and greener after a couple of months of daily micro-mulching, the single most repeated comment from owners who stuck with it
- +At 59 dB it runs at night or during a backyard gathering without anyone noticing
- +Blade swaps take two minutes with a Phillips screwdriver and three-blade packs are cheap; the double-sided long-life blades stretch changes to months
- +The 20V Power Share pack is user-replaceable and shared with other Worx tools, so a tired battery after three to five seasons is a cheap fix rather than a new mower
- +Shrugs off thunderstorms and toys left in the yard - owners running it daily in sun and rain report it just keeps docking and going out again
- +Multi-season owners exist: five-year Landroid users say it still mows four or five times a week with only blade and wire upkeep
Common complaints
- −Traction is the weak spot - on wet grass or anything beyond a gentle grade the stock wheels spin, leave unmowed strips on inclines and dig divots when it rocks back and forth trying to free itself
- −Boundary wire is a maintenance item, not a one-time job: blades nick surface-laid wire before it settles, frost heave loosens pegs over winter, and every break is an E1 wire-missing hunt with an AM radio
- −Gets high-centered on exposed tree roots and can hop the wire on tight turns; owners describe walking out to reset it by hand rather than fixing it from the app
- −The rain sensor false-triggers on morning dew and humidity, leaving the mower parked on dry days until you shorten or zero the rain delay
- −Wi-Fi is 2.4 GHz only and fussy with mesh routers - device offline and stalled firmware updates are the top app complaints, and some owners ended up loading Wi-Fi settings from a USB stick
- −Random-pattern coverage misses small patches, so there are never stripes and a scruffy corner can survive several sessions
- −Charging problems show up after a few seasons - slow or no charging traced to corroded contacts or a failing 24V power supply, and owners have waited weeks for a replacement supply
- −Warranty handling is a lottery - some owners got replacement parts free, others waited months with unanswered support emails

Worx Landroid M WR147, head-to-head
Mowers people look at alongside it
More from WorxThe Landroid S is the entry point to the Worx wired family: the same bump-and-turn platform as the M and L, shrunk to a 7.1 in three-blade disc, a 20V 2.0Ah Power Share pack and a 1/8 acre (5,445 sq ft) rating. Worx lists it at $999.99, which is hard to justify next to its own M at $1,199.99 list, but the street story is different - it has carried a $749.99 list at Amazon and Woot, open-box units have cleared around $630, and third-party reviewers quote it near $600, so treat the Worx price as a ceiling. The box is the full install kit: 820 ft of wire and 340 pegs, which is far more wire than an eighth-acre lawn needs. Once pegged it behaves like its siblings - AIA navigation through narrow passages without a guide wire, the off-center Cut to Edge blade, a self-leveling floating disc, a rain sensor, and 59 dB running. The trade-offs are a 30% slope ceiling, a 2.4 in maximum cut height that is too low for tall fescue, a small 2.0Ah pack that means frequent dock trips, and no obstacle sensing beyond the bumper. Against the Gardena SILENO flex at $599 with a 35% rating you pay more for the Worx app and battery ecosystem; against a Segway Navimow i105N at $799 you keep the wire but skip the RTK antenna.
Best for Small, flat lawns under an eighth of an acre whose owner already has Worx 20V tools and will buy on a street-price deal rather than at list.
The Landroid L is the half-acre version of the Worx wired platform: same chassis logic as the M, a wider 8 in blade disc and a bigger 5.0Ah (some kits ship 6.0Ah) 20V Power Share pack that swaps into any Worx tool. Worx lists it at $1,499.99 but it has been sitting near $1,000 on Amazon and under $750 at Walmart, which makes it the cheapest half-acre robot from a brand with a US support line. Expect four to six hours laying the 820 ft of included wire. In use it is a bump-and-turn random mower with Cut to Edge, a floating blade disc that copes with lumpy ground, a rain delay, and a 30% slope rating that reviewers flag as the lowest in its class, so skip it on rolling terrain. Reviewers report roughly an hour of mowing per charge, so a full half acre means several dock trips a day and a schedule that runs most days. Obstacle avoidance is a bumper unless you add the ACS ultrasonic kit. Compared with a Husqvarna Automower 415X you give up polish and dealer support for roughly half the price; compared with a Segway Navimow at similar coverage you keep the wire but keep $700 in your pocket. Best for budget-minded owners of flat, open half-acre lawns who would rather spend a Saturday pegging wire than pay for RTK.
Best for Value shoppers with a flat, open lawn up to half an acre who do not mind installing boundary wire.
Landroid Vision is Worx's answer to the boundary-wire chore: no wire, no RTK antenna, no mapping drive. You set the dock on the grass, press go, and a 140-degree HDR camera with an onboard neural net decides what is lawn and what is not, treating the edge of the grass as the boundary. The 1/5-acre WR208 is the entry model; the WR210 is the same 33 lb machine rated for a quarter acre at $1,999.99 list. Pricing is all over the place: Worx lists the WR208 at $1,599.99, Amazon has it around $1,350, and Target and Worx have run it at $799.99. In use it is quiet at 59 dB, cuts to the edge with an offset blade, and will stop for pets, toys and hoses lying on the ground. Reviewers found the downward-pointing camera misses things above its sightline (a parked trailer, a playground slide) and that it needs a visible edge: where lawn meets mulch or a neighbor's grass without a curb, you stake down the included magnetic strip. Separate lawns need RFID tags and usually a carry between them. Versus an Eufy E15 or Segway Navimow i105 at similar money this is simpler to install but less precise and it mows in a random pattern; versus Worx's newer Landroid Vision Cloud (RTK plus camera, $1,799.99) it gives up mapping and systematic rows. Best for small, well-defined lawns where nobody wants to bury wire or plant an antenna.
Best for Small lawns with clear edges whose owner wants a set-it-down-and-go install and will accept random-pattern mowing.
Vision Cloud is Worx's 2026 replacement for both the wired Landroid and the camera-only Landroid Vision: it keeps the cameras but adds RTK positioning delivered from the cloud over Wi-Fi or 4G, so there is no antenna to mount and no subscription, ever. Three 2WD tiers share one 31 lb three-wheel body with an 8.7 in deck, electric 1.57 to 3.54 in height adjustment, a 30% slope rating and a Cut-to-Zero offset blade: WR310.1 (1/4 acre, 4Ah, $1,199.99), WR320.1 (1/2 acre, 5Ah, $1,799.99) and WR340 (1 acre, 60 minute charger, built-in 4G and GPS module, $2,299.99). The WR310.1 has already sold at $999.99 on Amazon. Reviewers who ran it for a month call it the easiest robot mower they have installed, and one handed the app to parents in their seventies without trouble. It mows in selectable rows, then trims the border, and dodged tennis balls and jump ropes in testing but ran straight over a dog bone. The weak spot is traction: two driven wheels spun and dug holes on the edges of a 20 to 30 degree front yard and lost grip in thick edge grass, which is what the 4WD version exists to fix. The cameras also cannot see at night without the add-on FiatLux light. Against the Segway Navimow X315 at $1,999 the WR320.1 gives up 20 points of slope rating and a third camera to save $200; against Worx's own camera-only Vision AI WR220 at $2,499 list it adds mapping and straight rows for $700 less.
Best for Flat or gently sloped lawns up to an acre with tree cover, for owners who want a set-it-down install and already run Worx 20V batteries.
The 4WD is the same Vision Cloud brain - cloud-delivered RTK with no antenna and no subscription, stereo cameras running V-SLAM, self-mapping Vision AI, Cut-to-Zero offset blade, electric 1.57 to 3.54 in height adjustment - moved onto a four-wheel-drive chassis with front-wheel steering and a body that flexes to keep all four tires on uneven ground. Worx rates it for 84% (40 degree) slopes against 30% for the 2WD, which matters because reviewers of the 2WD watched its drive wheels spin and dig on the edges of a 20 to 30 degree lawn. Three tiers on one 8.7 in deck: WR341 (1/4 acre, 4Ah, $1,999.99), WR342 (1/2 acre, 5Ah, $2,299.99) and WR344 (1 acre, 5A 60 minute charger, built-in 4G, GPS module and FiatLux night light, $2,999.99); the WR344 has sold for $2,399.99 on Amazon. It weighs 37 to 40 lb with the battery, several pounds more than the 2WD, and the 20V Power Share pack still swaps into any Worx tool. What it lacks in September 2026 is a track record: it shipped this spring and there are no substantive hands-on US tests yet, so the slope number is Worx's claim, and a 1 acre rating on a 5Ah pack implies long daily schedules. Against the Mammotion Luba 3 AWD, which pairs an 80% rating with 360-degree LiDAR from $2,109 on sale for its 3000 tier, the Worx costs about the same for less coverage but carries a big-box warranty and battery ecosystem.
Best for Steep, uneven or thick-grass lawns up to an acre, for buyers who want wire-free RTK from a big-box brand without mounting an antenna.
This is the bigger-lawn Vision, sold as the WR220 for half an acre with 3/4-acre (WR230) and 1-acre (WR235) siblings that share the same 33 lb body and 20V 4.0Ah pack and simply get longer daily schedules. List is a steep $2,499.99 to $3,499.99, and Worx has run the WR220 as low as about $1,100 during clearance, so watch for promos before paying full price. The pitch is identical to the smaller WR208: no wire, no RTK base station, no mapping session; the 140-degree HDR camera reads grass versus not-grass and treats that line as the boundary, while the same camera recognizes people, pets and objects on the ground and steers around them. It cuts to the edge with an off-center blade, has a rain sensor, and the optional Find My Landroid module adds 4G tracking. The compromises grow with the lawn: random-pattern mowing means it needs many more hours per week than an RTK mower to cover the same ground, split lawns still need RFID tags and a carry, and the camera struggles wherever there is no clear visual edge. For a half acre and up, a Mammotion Luba Mini AWD or Segway Navimow X3 will finish faster and mow in rows, and Worx's own Vision Cloud WR320.1 ($1,799.99) adds RTK for less money. Best for large, simple lawns with obvious edges where zero installation matters more than mowing speed.
Best for Owners of a large, open lawn with clear edges who want the simplest possible install and can wait on promo pricing.
