Designed for Gardens Up to 300m²
The Mova Viax 300 is designed for gardens of up to 300m². It harnesses AI technology to map your garden and mow autonomously, using a U-shape cutting pattern to ensure efficient and comprehensive coverage. This is said to leave grass evenly trimmed with minimal effort while on-boundary edge cutting can deliver precise results along borders and fences.
The wireless mower uses AI technology to detect and avoid obstacles around the garden such as plants and pets and has the power to climb slopes up to 40% incline, as reported by Somerset Live. It can also move over obstacles up to 4cm high and navigate narrow spaces thanks to its compact design.
Smartphone App Control and Safety Features
The Mova Viax 300 can be controlled through a smartphone app that allows users to set mowing schedules and zones from anywhere. It is also said to be 'whisper quiet' and boasts several safety features, including live video that lets users monitor their garden in real time.
Elsewhere, shoppers can get £50 off the Flymo Easilife Go 250 Cordless Robotic Lawnmower at B&Q. Reduced from £499 to £449, this model is more suited to smaller gardens up to 250m², but holds a mixed review score of 3.6 stars.
Customer Reviews Praise Performance
As for the Mova Viax 300 Robotic Lawnmower, this model has yet to receive any reviews at Yimbly, but Amazon customers have awarded it a 4.2-star rating. One satisfied buyer says: “Amazing robot mower. Its whisper [is so] quiet you honestly can’t hear it over the birds. Obviously, it takes way longer than me but I really don’t care. The lines are perfect and it doesn’t miss a spot.”
Another user adds: “Sit back and chill. The Mova Viax 300 is an absolute little legend. It was so easy to set up that even I managed it without swearing, sweating, or phoning a mate. It gets on with the job like a tiny, silent gardener who never asks for tea breaks. The scheduling works perfectly, the app is idiot-proof and the lawn looks great. I always thought robot lawnmowers were a total gimmick. Turns out I was spectacularly wrong.”
However, the same buyer noted a potential downside, adding: “My only complaint? I wish it cut a bit closer to the edge – but honestly, that’s nitpicking. I’m not expecting it to trim the hedges and make me a sandwich.”
More Positive Feedback
Nevertheless, another Mova Viax 300 fan said: “This is a gift for my mother-in-law. She’s never used a lawnmower before and she’s really happy with what this machine can do. It saves her so much effort when cleaning her garden.”
While this buyer said: “The biggest advantage is that there’s no boundary wire needed – setup was much easier than I expected. The mapping works well in a simple garden layout and it keeps the lawn looking tidy with regular runs. It’s not perfect though. It can occasionally miss small areas or struggle a bit around tighter corners, so I still need to do some quick touch-ups manually. Also, it works best if the grass isn’t too long to begin with. That said, for day-to-day maintenance it saves a lot of time and effort. I no longer have to think about mowing every week, which is a big win.”
