The Truth About Robotic Lawn Mowers Straight From Consumers
What Are Robotic Owners Saying…
Robotic lawn mowers are raising eyebrows in neighborhoods around the world. They are already very common in Europe, and the United States and Canada are seeing more and more interest and purchases by consumers. But what is the real truth? We’ve done the research, and here is what people who have purchased robotic mowers for themselves. One of the biggest reason’s people are purchasing is to save time.
“I work late most nights and try to get out camping on the weekends. Fitting in mowing the lawn becomes a difficult task. Now my lawn is mowed for me all of the season and I don’t feel pressured to try to get my lawn care taken care of.”

“The 100+ degree heat makes it unbearable to mow [reason for buying].”

What about on social media?
“I would name the Landroid ‘KISS’ . Not because I’m saying “Keep It Simple Stupid”, but because I’d feel like giving it a Kiss for doing the mowing instead of me behind a push mower.” –Lauralee, 2024, Facebook
The reasons for robotic mowing are many. Yet for Worx customers, we’ve begun to learn about some of the unintended benefits of this new way to maintain the beauty around your home:
- Runs at night quietly. Noise ordinances on mowing are becoming more frequent.
- Helps homeowners prevent kicking up allergens if they mow themselves.
- Helps homeowners stay on schedule with other Smart Home tasks around the home.
Is Robotic Mowing an all in one solution for my lawn?
Robotic mowing is not yet a catch-all for lawn maintenance, but the technology is fast developing to catch up with electric push mowers and gas-powered mower so that it can handle steeper slopes and more complicated yards.
The Worx Landroid Vision, for example, uses artificial intelligence that enables it to avoid objects around the yard but also learn its tendencies and barriers. This means it can cross over different zones—like a sidewalk or a driveway to another part of your front lawn to continue clipping.
This type of innovation—while obviously beneficial to senior citizens who may have physical limitations in August—can potentially be a game-changer for young families balancing out the new rigors of homeownership and work.
After all, about 61% of Millennials say they are looking for ways to automate chores in their lives, compared to 3 years ago, according to a 2024 My Take survey.
