I've used mine one season plus. It does a good job of actual mowing - when it mows. Frequent problems - 1) Failing to find the charging station. This happens at least two or three times weekly, sometimes more. Where the station was located, how it was positioned, didn't matter. 2) Stopped in the yard. No apparent reason, no error transmitted. Often in the middle of the yard. Maybe weekly. Less frequent - 3) Dirty camera. Not unexpected, but required cleaning. 4) Intermittent poor WiFi connection, with a powerful home mesh system, sometimes requiring reconnecting. All of these required direct attention, in the yard, night or day, rain or shine. A secondary problem is multiple grass-less areas, which the mower will not cross. This blocks one whole section of my yard that still must be manually mowed. Another problem is virtually no manufacturer direct support, particularly for the US - this product is clearly designed and mostly used by European consumers. The software is also less than perfect, and the Statistics section has never recorded charging sessions. It does a satisfactory cut, and would be suitable for the typical European, small, flat lawn with few trees or plantings, and well-defined borders. For a typical larger and more complex American yard - 1/2 acre or larger, with large trees or landscaped areas, and multiple sections - not so much. The positive features of this mower and concept is that it doesn't require a boundary wire. That type of installation is MUCH more reliable and stable, but in our yard required frequent repairs due to rodent damage, and the installation is of course more expensive. The Vision does work - even if less than perfectly - and the usual fix for the above was just walking out, replacing the battery and hitting the "Start" button. There are more automowers coming to market with newer technology that may well replace this marginal one, but yet to be widely deployed, so this fairly primitive camera-based option is pretty much it if you 1) don't want a border wire, and 2) don't have a yard layout suitable for GPS/RTK guidance (which is superior in almost every way). A good GPS signal requires a virtually tree-free yard however, and the signal can be blocked by the house itself. Some mowers are coming out with combined LIDAR/GPS/camera technology which may be the answer, yet TBD.
@paladin1843 Thank you for sharing your detailed experience! I can confirm this for the most part. This type of robot mower is not for everyone, but is aimed at the gardens mentioned in the video that meet the criteria. Nevertheless, there are still a few points where the software of the Landroid Vision should be improved 😊👍🏼 Best regards
There is at least one more vision based system out there, because I have it. The Lawnmaster VBR16. It's a 'drop and go' type though - no base station. Suits me perfectly as I have three separate small lawns which a wired border system could not deal with. Only have it two weeks but so far I'm happy. Uses a camera to detect borders and also has sensors for detecting walls/fences etc. It will stop short of the edge and leave a narrow unmowed trail behind itself. I knew this going in. 99% of the grass will be cut without my attention and I'm cool with that. Just thought it was worth mentioning in case it helps someone.
I have had a Landroid for 4 years and it sounds like the same old problems they've never been able to fix despite multiple firmware updates that haven't really improved it. Mine digs holes in my lawn, needs constant correction, and parts for it are expensive. E.g. the wheels have worn down and Worx wants $80 for a new set of plastic wheels. This was the last straw for me. After enough grief, I'm going to buy a Luba as it appears to be significantly better. I'm never buying a Worx product again.
Thank you very much! I'm really pleased to hear that you appreciate the effort I put into my videos and that you place a lot of trust in me. 😊🙌🏽 I wish you all the best and a nice weekend
I returned mine after a week. Completely useless unless you have a very simple lawn with few bushes/trees and all fenced in. Spent a week trying to get it to work. It got stuck, found its way to the garage 2/10 times, escaped our lawn and I found it travelling down the street. And yes it actually just run over the magnetic bands on some occasion.
@JanEriksson thanks for the feedback and for sharing your experience! That's exactly what I said in the video. The robot is not designed for all gardens due to the principle of operation. The model is aimed at simple gardens with precise lawn boundaries. :) Best regards
@KOz1caa That's right. Unfortunately, the device really isn't cheap. But if you look at other high-quality robotic lawnmowers, we're in the same price league... :/ Best regards
Unless you have a flat lawn, with defined boundaries already in place, the Landroid Vision is a waste of money. You will need to create boundaries, regardless of the claim of zero boundary installation claim on the box. The vision portion works well enough in forward motion, but going in reverse, it will cross boundaries because it only has forward looking cameras, and only senses the magnet from front as well. The landroid will drive itself past the boundaries in reverse, and often be unable to get back into it's workplace if there is any downhill slope. With the weight of the Landroid downhill, I only had the experience of it spinning its wheels trying to get back to the work area. Some reviewers claim it has GPS navagation capability, which it does not. It only operates using the camera and its connection to WLAN, with zero control capability of the machine through the app, and requires installation of external antennas for communication between the app, cloud, and Landroid Vision
@fichtenmopedfan7550 Thank you for the feedback! That's right, the robot is aimed at gardens with precise boundaries. Otherwise I would also advise against the robot... Best regards
My older Landroid with its vision sensors is junk. With the vision sensor on, it gets stuck on my lawn table but then avoids high grass. Just the opposite of what I wanted. Was thinking of buying one of the newer ones, but 2 Gs is quite expensive.
@SeattleShelby Many thanks for the feedback! I also think that the sensor systems and software recognition have improved a lot since then. I can also understand that the price of the robot is not without its drawbacks... Best regards
never ever update firmware you play with fire, you can update software no problem, but firmware no its same as in pc bios. i it disconects or fails or update is bad you will brick the machine
@Arturas1244 Many thanks for the comment and the experience! That's a pity to hear that you're having such big problems! I would contact the support team. They will certainly be able to help you solve the problem. :) Best regards

Worx Landroid, NO THANK YOIU. These Machines are crap. We have bought of them, both are now broken after less then 2 years. Service ...ha ha. If you deal with them it takes ages, so we gave up, organized parts from Germany and fixed them ourself. Both main rotor engine broken (bearings) and on one the STOP bottom get stucked. We would never buy them again.

The best mower for already perfectly cut grass. Only 2k.

@@TechIllusion-EN Does it work without Wifi network coverage?
@ova1435 yes, the mower only requires a wifi connection for the installation! 😊👍🏼
The vision is a flop due to the competition - gps and all wheel drive is the way to go.

All Worx Landroid is junk !! Don't worry !! And service customer is inexistent !!

I have bought one and they’re junk unless you have a perfectly flat lawn. They’re stuck all the time. Junk junk junk
@keithritchie6120 Thanks for sharing your experience! It's a shame to hear that the device is causing so many problems. :/
If the robot is not made for the lawn at all, I would return it to the dealer I ordered it from.
