The LawnMaster OcuMow 16cm Robotic Lawnmower is now £340 at Argos, reduced from £400, and is fully automatic with no wires or apps to complicate things. It can be used straight out of the box by plugging the docking station into an outdoor power socket, placing the mower on the lawn, and pressing start.
Features and coverage
The mower automatically distinguishes between grass and borders, avoids obstacles, and provides complete and consistent coverage without needing boundary wires. It uses a combination of imaging, ultrasonic sensors, and grass recognition software, and can cover lawns up to 400m2.
It is fully cordless, taking around 1.5 hours to recharge at the docking station between uses, and uses a brushless motor and three razor blades to cut the grass. Users can choose from five different cutting heights ranging from 2cm to 6cm, and the mower has a mulch function to help prepare gardens ahead of autumn.
Alternatives and affordability
An alternative option includes the Bosch Cordless Robotic Lawnmower, also available at Argos for £422, which uses just three button presses to start working each time and covers gardens up to 100m2. Or shoppers can head to Amazon, where the MOVA ViAX 300 Robot Lawnmower is £399, down from £549, and uses AI to navigate gardens, including tight spaces, inclines, and obstacles as high as 4cm.
However, the LawnMaster OcuMow Robotic Lawnmower is one of the most affordable robot lawnmowers on the market, and it is simple and easy to use. As well as cutting down on endless gardening to-do lists, a robot mower is beneficial for those with mobility issues or who struggle to push a standard mower, helping keep gardens looking tidy with less physical effort.
