No loop, clear edge
You will not bury a cable, and you can put the dock in Wi-Fi range on a lawn with a visible edge. Start with the WR303E, stated for 300 m², rather than treating a cheaper camera model as Vision Cloud.
Worx robot lawn mower comparison 2026
The best Worx robot lawn mowers, compared.
Top pick: WORX Vision Cloud WR303E Best value: WORX Landroid WR142E – £499, a stated 700 m², cable and pegs in the box, and a much larger rating base. Updated October 2026.
A Worx robot lawn mower is a 20 V battery rotary that mulches and returns to a dock, sold on amazon.co.uk for UK gardens. Check a stated area you have measured, a navigation method the garden can support, and a dock you can power. A loop and a camera or GPS system are different methods, which the [boundary wire or GPS mower](/hub/lawn-and-garden-equipment/blog/boundary-wire-or-gps-mower) guide covers on its own. The six amazon.co.uk listings are not one product in different sizes. Boundary-wire models, the WR142E and the WR169E, stay inside a loop while the cable is intact. Worx states there is no base station and no subscription on.

Which Worx robot lawn mower fits the garden?
Question 1 of 2
Will you install a boundary wire?
The best Worx robot lawn mowers in detail
Our view
The WR303E is the most balanced wire-free option here for a measured lawn of up to 300 m², combining an 18 cm cut with app-defined zones and no boundary loop. Its VSLAM and RTK Cloud navigation remove the work of pegging and maintaining a cable, while the listing states a two-hour runtime. At £671.99 it is not the cheapest mower in the comparison, but its 4.1-star line from 38 ratings is the strongest among the Vision and Vision Cloud rows. The lawn still needs a clear edge, and dependable Wi-Fi at the charging station is part of the setup rather than an optional extra. The listing gives only three height positions without a millimetre range, so it is less informative than it should be about the finished cut. Cut to Zero is also not stated as included, which matters if reducing the uncut border is a priority. Overall, this is our top pick for a small, clearly bounded lawn when avoiding a wire matters more than buying at the lowest price.
Pros
- No boundary wire or local antenna required
- App zones and no-go areas
- 18 cm cutting width and two-hour listed runtime
- Strongest Amazon star line among the wire-free rows
Cons
- Needs reliable Wi-Fi at the charging station
- No millimetre cutting-height range in the listing
- Cut to Zero is not stated as included
Best for: Lawns up to 300 m² with clear borders and reliable Wi-Fi near the charging station.
Less suitable: Larger lawns, weak garden Wi-Fi, indistinct grass-to-grass edges or buyers who need Cut to Zero included.

Common questions
Does the WR303E need a boundary wire?
The listing bullets say it works without a local antenna and without a boundary wire. Navigation is given as VSLAM plus RTK Cloud.
What cutting height does the listing give?
The specification table lists 3 positions. It does not give a millimetre minimum or maximum.
What lawn area is stated?
The item highlight says the mower is for lawns up to 300 m². The listing asks about slopes and does not print a slope figure. Worx UK states 30% (17°) for this model.
Our view
The WR142E is the strongest value proposition here if you are prepared to install a boundary loop, with a stated 700 m² capacity and an 18 cm cut for £499. The box lists 150 m of cable, 210 pegs, the charging base and nine spare blades, so the essential installation material is unusually clear. Its title states a 35% slope, while the rain sensor, app control and 60-minute runtime cover the practical basics. A 4.0-star line across 1,463 ratings gives it far more rating volume than any other row, although those ratings should not be treated as a purely UK-language owner sample. The optional ACS obstacle module and GPS tracker are not included, and a cut boundary wire remains a maintenance risk. The listing's cutting-height span is internally implausible at 30 mm to 18 cm across three positions, so that figure needs checking. It is the best value row, trading wire-free convenience for lower cost, a larger stated area and a much deeper rating base.
Pros
- Stated 700 m² capacity at £499
- 150 m cable and 210 pegs included
- Far larger rating base than the other rows
- Rain sensor, app control and 60-minute runtime
Cons
- Boundary loop takes time to install and can be damaged
- ACS obstacle sensing and GPS are optional extras
- Cutting-height data in the listing is inconsistent
- Review total is not a purely UK-language sample
Best for: Larger lawns with a stable perimeter where you accept a wire in exchange for strong value and proven listing history.
Less suitable: Frequently redesigned lawns, buyers who refuse cable maintenance or anyone expecting camera obstacle avoidance in the box.

Common questions
Is the boundary wire in the box?
Included components list 150 m of peripheral cable, 210 fixing pegs, a charger, and a charging base, plus 9 spare screws and blades.
What slope and area does the title state?
The title states a maximum of 700 m², a surface maximum of 800 m², and a slope of 35%. It also names a rain detector. Do not copy that 35% line onto Vision Cloud.
Does it include obstacle sensors or GPS?
The bullets name the ACS module WA0860 and the GPS tracker WA0862 as add-ons. They are not in the included-components line.
Our view
The WR305E extends the Vision Cloud proposition to a stated 500 m², making it the middle choice for a lawn that exceeds the WR303E's capacity. It keeps the wire-free VSLAM and RTK Cloud navigation, app zones and two-hour listed runtime. The £799 price is a substantial step above the 300 m² model, while the 4.0-star rating is based on only 14 reviews. Its listing also leaves out both cutting width and a millimetre cutting-height range, so two basic mowing specifications are unclear. Cut to Zero is not stated as included, despite the higher price. The listing repeats a rank line that also appears on the WR306E, and the main image matches the WR303E listing, which is another reason to verify the current amazon.co.uk page before ordering. Choose it for the extra stated area, not because it provides the clearest specification or the strongest value.
Pros
- Wire-free navigation for a stated 500 m²
- App zones and no-go areas
- Two-hour listed runtime
Cons
- Only 14 ratings behind the star score
- Cutting width and millimetre height range are not stated
- Cut to Zero is not stated as included
- Listing data contains duplicated or mismatched details
Best for: A clearly bounded lawn above 300 m² where you want Vision Cloud without installing a loop.
Less suitable: Value-led buyers, gardens with weak Wi-Fi or anyone wanting fully stated cutting specifications.

Common questions
Does the WR305E need a boundary cable?
The title says it is a robotic lawnmower without a boundary cable. Navigation is VSLAM plus RTK Cloud.
Is Cut to Zero in the box?
The listing does not say the Cut to Zero module is included. It does mention close-edge mowing.
What cutting width is listed?
The specification table does not give a cutting width. Weight is 11.1 kg and the listed runtime is 2 hours.
Our view
The WR306E is the wire-free model in this set for a stated 600 m², and it is the only Vision Cloud row that explicitly includes the Cut to Zero module. VSLAM and RTK Cloud navigation, app control and a two-hour listed runtime make it the most feature-complete Cloud listing here. That extra capacity and edge module come at £899, the highest listed price in the comparison. Its 3.9-star score is drawn from just 12 reviews, so there is limited evidence behind the rating. The listing does not state a cutting width or a useful millimetre cutting-height range, and its single listed height position deserves checking before purchase. At 12.8 kg it is also heavier than the WR303E and WR305E. It makes sense when 600 m² capacity and the included edge module are both requirements, but it is not the economical default.
Pros
- Stated for lawns up to 600 m²
- Cut to Zero module stated as included
- No boundary cable required
- Two-hour listed runtime
Cons
- Highest price in the comparison
- Rating is based on only 12 reviews
- Cutting width and usable height range are unclear
Best for: A clearly edged lawn approaching 600 m² where an included Cut to Zero module justifies the premium.
Less suitable: Small lawns, price-sensitive buyers or gardens without dependable Wi-Fi at the dock.

Common questions
Does the WR306E include Cut to Zero?
The title and the bullets say the Cut to Zero module is included for edge cutting.
Does it need a boundary wire?
The title says it is without a boundary cable. The listing does not answer its own slope question.
What runtime and weight are listed?
Battery average life is 2 hours. Item weight is 12.8 kg. Cutting width is not in the specification table.
Our view
The WR169E is a compact 300 m² Landroid with a 16 cm cut, seven height positions from 3 to 6 cm and app scheduling. At 8.5 kg it is the lightest mower in this comparison, and the rain sensor sends it back to the dock when conditions turn wet. This is not a camera-avoidance model: its listing names AIA, while the available reviews describe a guide wire. That distinction matters because the bullets do not clearly state the boundary-wire requirement or what installation material is included. Its £599 price is above the larger WR142E's listed price, despite a narrower cut and only 11 ratings behind the 3.8-star score. Runtime is also absent from the listing. It can suit a small lawn where low weight and seven cutting positions matter, but the unclear box contents and limited review base prevent a stronger recommendation.
Pros
- Light 8.5 kg body
- Seven cutting-height positions from 3 to 6 cm
- Rain sensor and app control
- Lift-or-tip blade stop
Cons
- Boundary-wire requirement is unclear in the bullets
- Only 11 ratings
- Runtime is not stated
- Costs more than the larger WR142E row
Best for: Small lawns where a light mower and fine height adjustment matter more than wire-free navigation.
Less suitable: Buyers wanting camera avoidance, clearly listed installation contents or strong review evidence.

Common questions
Does the WR169E use a boundary wire?
The bullets do not say boundary wire. They name AIA, multi-zone, and app control. The UK reviews describe laying a guide wire and a damaged-cable message.
What safety behaviour is listed?
The bullets say a rain sensor sends it back to the dock, and that the blades stop if it is lifted or tipped.
What cut does the listing give?
Cutting width is 16 cm. Cutting height is 3–6 cm across 7 positions. The style name says 300 m². Runtime is not stated.
Our view
The WR206E offers camera-based, wire-free mowing for a stated 600 m² at £457.17, the lowest listed price in this comparison. Its 18 cm cut, 20 V 2.0 Ah PowerShare battery, rain sensor and lift-or-tip blade stop give the listing a useful core specification. It is camera Vision rather than Vision Cloud, so it should not be treated as a discounted version of the newer Cloud machines. The 45-minute listed runtime is much shorter than the two hours stated for the Cloud rows. More importantly, its 3.1-star rating from 23 reviews is the weakest star line in the set. The listing also conflicts on cutting height, giving 3–6 cm in the bullets but 2.3–2.4 inches in the table. The low shelf price is attractive, but the rating and specification conflict make this a higher-risk choice than either the top pick or best-value wired model.
Pros
- Lowest listed price in the comparison
- No boundary wire required
- 18 cm cutting width and PowerShare battery
- Rain sensor and lift-or-tip blade stop
Cons
- Weakest Amazon star line in the set
- Only 45 minutes of listed runtime
- Conflicting cutting-height figures
- Camera Vision rather than Vision Cloud
Best for: Budget-led buyers who specifically want a camera mower and accept the weaker rating evidence.
Less suitable: Buyers expecting Vision Cloud navigation, long listed runtime or an unambiguous specification.

Worx robot lawn mower buying guide
Choose the navigation family the garden can support, then match the measured lawn to the stated maximum. A low price on a camera model is not the same family as Vision Cloud.
What is a Worx robot lawn mower?
A Worx robot lawn mower in this comparison is a 20 V battery rotary that mulches clippings and returns to a charging dock. The six amazon.co.uk listings are not one product in different sizes. Boundary-wire models, the WR142E and the WR169E, stay inside a loop while the cable is intact. Camera-only Vision is the WR206E. Vision Cloud, the WR303E, WR305E and WR306E, adds cloud RTK and does not use a perimeter wire. Worx states there is no base station and no RTK subscription on Vision Cloud.
Best for
- A measured lawn with a clear edge and Wi-Fi at the dock
- A stable perimeter where you will install and maintain a loop
Not ideal for
- Buying on the Landroid name without checking the navigation family
- Assuming a stated area is one battery charge
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Buying on the name alone
Landroid covers a wire loop, a camera and Vision Cloud. The cheaper WR206E is not a discounted WR303E.
- 2
Skipping the first obstacles
A patio lip, a locked gate or a first cut taller than the model allows will stop the job before navigation matters. The WR206E has a manual first-cut limit under 9 cm.
- 3
Parking the lower wire on a bank
WR142E guidance says not to place the lower wire on a slope steeper than 17% (10°), and to keep at least 30 cm from a pool. The 35% title line is not a licence to do that.
What to weigh up
Navigation family
HighWire if you will maintain a loop. Vision or Vision Cloud if you will not, and the lawn has a visible edge or a magnetic strip against a neighbour. Boundary-wire models stay in the loop while the cable is intact: about 26 cm from a step or gravel, 10 cm from a flush path, about 1 m from a neighbour's robot wire. They bump obstacles unless you add a module. The WR142E box lists 150 m of cable and 210 pegs. The WR169E bullets do not state a wire, while UK reviews describe a guide wire.
Measured lawn, slope and box
HighMatch the lawn you measured to the stated maximum: WR169E and WR303E 300 m², WR305E 500 m², WR206E and WR306E 600 m², WR142E 700 m². The WR142E title also says a surface maximum of 800 m². That rating is not one charge. Listed runtimes are 45 minutes on the WR206E, 60 minutes on the WR142E and 2 hours on the Cloud rows. The WR169E listing does not state a runtime. Slope comes from that model's own page. Worx UK states 30% (17°) for the WR303E.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
A hard edge or trees
You want a loop you can maintain, or you do not trust a sky view under trees. The WR142E lists 150 m of cable and 210 pegs, with a stated 700 m², and the loop is yours to keep intact.
A larger wire-free lawn
The measured lawn is past 300 m² and you still will not lay a wire. The WR306E is stated for 600 m² and is the Cloud row that says the Cut to Zero module is included.
Common questions about Worx robot lawn mowers
Which Worx robot lawn mower is the top pick?
The top pick is the WORX Vision Cloud WR303E. It is the wire-free row with the strongest star line in that family, 4.1 from 38 reviews, a stated 300 m² and an 18 cm cut. On amazon.co.uk the price is £671.99. It needs a clear edge and reliable Wi-Fi at the dock. Cut to Zero is not stated as included, and the listing gives three height positions without a millimetre range.
Which model is the best value?
The best value is the WORX Landroid WR142E at £499. The title states 700 m², the box lists 150 m of cable and 210 pegs, and the star line is 4.0 from 1,463 ratings. Those ratings are not a 2026 UK-only sample. You take on a loop that can be cut, and the ACS obstacle module is an extra. If you will not lay a wire, this is the wrong row.
Which of these mowers need a boundary wire?
The WR142E listing includes a boundary cable. UK reviews of the WR169E describe a guide wire, although the bullets do not say so. The WR206E, WR303E, WR305E and WR306E are listed without a perimeter wire. Vision Cloud uses VSLAM and RTK Cloud. The WR206E is camera Vision, not Vision Cloud, even though it is also wire-free.
How do you match a measured lawn to these models?
Set the measured area against the stated maximum: 300 m² for the WR169E and WR303E, 500 m² for the WR305E, 600 m² for the WR206E and WR306E, and 700 m² for the WR142E. The WR142E title also says a surface maximum of 800 m². That figure is not one battery charge. Listed runtimes are 2 hours on the Cloud rows, 60 minutes on the WR142E and 45 minutes on the WR206E. The WR169E listing does not state a runtime.
What slope is stated?
Worx UK states 30% (17°) for the WR303E. The WR142E title states 35% (20°). Its installation guidance says not to place the lower wire on a slope steeper than 17% (10°), and to keep at least 30 cm from a pool. Do not copy the 35% title line onto Vision Cloud. The other listings in this set do not print a slope figure.
Is Cut to Zero in the box?
The WR306E title and bullets say the Cut to Zero module is included. The WR303E and WR305E listings do not state it as included. On the WR142E, GPS tracking is named as an add-on, not as a box item. A 4 Ah pack appears on the Worx page for the WR142E. Do not assume that pack, or Cut to Zero, on every model.
What should you check before you order?
The dock needs mains in reach and a plug that fits the outdoor socket. Vision Cloud also needs a network at the station. Five listings have only 11 to 38 reviews, so a high star on a short count is thin evidence. The WR305E listing repeats a rank line and its main image matches another model, so open the live amazon.co.uk page. If a loop must pass a pond or a drive you cannot trench, use a fitter. Record the serial number before the mower lives outside.
How does this set sit next to another robot mower brand?
This page stays inside six Worx listings. A different brand, with its own wire or app setup, is the Yard Force robotic lawnmower comparison. Do not read a Worx stated area, slope or included cable across to that set. UK machinery marking and the outdoor noise label still apply to both.
Our verdict
The top pick is WORX Landroid WR142E, with the highest score in this comparison (8.9 out of 10, from 1,463 amazon.co.uk reviews). The best value is the WORX Landroid WR142E: a £499 listed price, a 700 m² claim, 150 m of cable and 210 pegs in the box, and 4.0 from 1,463 ratings. Those ratings are not a current UK-only sample, and the loop is yours to install and maintain.
