One lawn under 300 m²
You will peg a wire, or you accept a vision fringe, on a single lawn under about 300 m². The Compact 300RBS is the wired Yard Force row, rated to 300 m², with 2.8 from 28 UK-headed reviews.
The best Yard Force robotic lawnmowers, compared.
Top pick: Bosch VisiMow 18V-100 – Highest star line in the set, 4.1 from 72 reviews, for lawns up to 100 m². Best value: YARDCARE V100 – About £349.99 with an 18 V 4 Ah battery stated, for lawns up to 150 m². Updated October 2026.
A Yard Force robotic lawnmower is a battery robot that keeps a lawn short by mulching little and often. It is rated to 300 m² with about 60 minutes of running, so that area assumes many charges. Check the rated area against the lawn you measured, the slope as a percentage, and whether the battery and dock are in the box. Vision fails when the border looks like the grass. Leave about a fifth of headroom as a retailer rule of thumb. The [boundary wire or wire-free](/hub/lawn-and-garden-equipment/yard-force-robotic-lawnmower/sub/yard-force-robotic-lawnmower-boundary-wire-or-wire-free) guide sets the loop against a camera border. UK buyers here are looking at one amazon.co.uk search that mixed a Yard Force robot with other brands. Pedestrian Yard Force mowers are a different comparison.

1-2 of 7Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
How large is the lawn?
The Bosch VisiMow 18V-100 is a compact wire-free mower for lawns up to 100 m², using a 16 cm cut and a 20–60 mm height range. SmartVision removes the perimeter-wire job, and the simple three-button start will suit buyers who do not want setup centred on an app. Its 4.1-star rating from 72 reviews is the highest score in this comparison, and the available UK texts mainly highlight the awkward latch and the missing battery rather than a universal mowing fault. The £296 headline price is tool-only: neither an 18 V POWER FOR ALL battery nor a charger is included. That makes it much stronger value for somebody who already owns a compatible pack than for a first-time Bosch battery buyer. It is our top pick for a very small lawn with a clear edge, provided the battery omission is understood before checkout.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Lawns up to 100 m², especially for owners who already have a compatible Bosch 18 V battery
Less suitable: First-time buyers expecting a complete charging kit or gardens with unclear edges
Specifications
Common questions
Does the VisiMow come with a battery?
The title and the style name say without battery and charger. Included components list only the VISIMOW18V-100.
What lawn size is it sold for?
The title says lawns up to 100 m², with a 16 cm cut and a height of 20–60 mm.
Which batteries does it use?
The bullets name the POWER FOR ALL 18 V system. They do not include a pack.
The YARDCARE V3 combines wire-free vision navigation with app controls for starting, pausing, selecting a mode and checking the battery. Its 20–60 mm cutting range and rain sensor make the specification useful for routine mowing, and the listing claims sound around 50 dB. A 4.0-star rating from 131 reviews gives it a broader evidence base than the V100, with 15 of 19 available review texts headed United Kingdom. Those UK reviews also expose the main limitation: missed borders and error messages recur, so an indistinct edge can turn wire-free convenience into supervision. The listing does not state a rated lawn area, battery capacity or confirmed charging station, which makes matching it to a garden harder than it should be. Choose it for a clearly bounded lawn and app convenience, but not where a drop-off or level flower bed leaves the camera guessing.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Clearly bordered lawns where app control and rain detection matter
Less suitable: Gardens with vague grass-level edges, drop-offs or a need for a stated area rating
Specifications
Common questions
Does the V3 come with a charging station?
The listing question is unanswered. The bullets do not name a station.
Can it handle slopes?
The bullets state a 35° tilt sensor and an emergency stop. They do not state a climbing slope.
How noisy is it?
The bullet says around 50 dB. It does not call that figure a guaranteed sound power level.
The YARDCARE V100 is a wire-free camera mower for lawns up to 150 m², with a 16 cm cut and an 18 V 4 Ah detachable battery. It removes the work of pegging a perimeter loop, and the two 5 m magnetic strips can mark specific no-go areas. Five cutting-height positions from 20 to 60 mm give more adjustment than a fixed small-lawn setting, while the stated 20° slope figure is clear enough to compare with similar camera models. Its 4.0-star headline from 32 reviews looks encouraging, but only two of the review headers in the extract are from the United Kingdom, so it is not strong UK evidence. The listing does not name an app, charging station or charger, and that uncertainty should be resolved before ordering. At £349.99, it is the best-value option in this set for a small lawn with obvious borders, provided you confirm the charging equipment and accept that camera navigation needs a clear edge.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Lawns up to 150 m² with clear borders where avoiding a perimeter loop is the priority
Less suitable: Grass-level flower beds, drop-offs or buyers who need a fully itemised charging kit
Specifications
Common questions
Does the V100 need a boundary wire?
The listing says no perimeter cable. It includes 2 × 5 m magnetic wires for no-go zones.
How long does the battery last?
The bullets do not state a runtime. They state an 18 V 4 Ah detachable battery. A UK review mentions a couple of hours on that lawn.
Does it come ready to use?
Assembly required is No. A charger is not named in the listing.
The SUNTEK SRM2025 is a wire-free vision mower rated for lawns up to 250 m², with a 20 cm cutting width and a 20 V 2.5 Ah battery. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi controls, automatic mapping and return-to-base charging make its specification more complete than several similarly priced rows. The listing also claims IPX5 protection, a rain sensor and coverage of up to 120 m² per hour, although that is a manufacturer claim rather than a measured result here. Its 3.9-star rating from 91 reviews provides a reasonable headline, but only eight of 50 review headers in the extract are from the United Kingdom. The slope specification is inconsistent, appearing as both 35° and 35%, which are not equivalent and should be checked for a sloping garden. At £399.99, it fits a clearly edged small-to-medium lawn, but the mixed review geography and specification conflict keep it behind the top pick.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Clearly defined lawns up to 250 m² where app control and rain detection are priorities
Less suitable: Sloping gardens until the incline limit is confirmed, or buyers needing stronger UK review evidence
Specifications
Common questions
Does the SUNTEK need a boundary wire?
The bullets say it works without a boundary wire and without an RTK base.
What slope does the listing state?
The title says up to 35°. A bullet says up to 35%. Those units are not the same.
What battery is stated?
The bullets say a 20 V 2.5 Ah pack. They do not state a runtime in minutes.
The WORX WR206E Landroid Vision is rated for lawns up to 600 m² and combines wire-free AIA vision with multi-zone and cut-to-edge claims. Its 20 V 2.0 Ah PowerShare battery is stated, and the table gives a 45-minute runtime, so existing WORX battery owners have a familiar platform. A rain sensor and automatic charging add useful autonomy when the installation works as intended. The 3.1-star rating from 23 UK-headed reviews is weak for a £457.17 mower, with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi limitations and unreliable docking among the repeated complaints. The listing also conflicts on both cutting width and cutting height, and it gives no slope rating. It may suit a larger, clearly divided lawn where PowerShare compatibility matters, but the review pattern makes it a riskier buy than the better-rated small-lawn options.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Larger, clearly bordered lawns where WORX PowerShare compatibility is valuable
Less suitable: Buyers seeking dependable docking, straightforward Wi-Fi setup or consistent specifications
Specifications
Common questions
Does the WR206E need a boundary wire?
The title sells it as a vision mower and does not include a perimeter wire. UK reviews mention magnetic strips.
What battery does it use?
The bullets say a 20 V 2.0 Ah PowerShare pack. The table prints a battery life of 45 minutes.
Is a slope given?
The listing question is unanswered. The bullets do not state a slope.
The Yard Force Compact 300RBS is sized for lawns up to 300 m² and uses a 16 cm cutting width, so it suits a compact lawn where regular, light mowing matters more than speed. Its wired boundary is less dependent on a visually clear grass edge than a camera-only mower, while Bluetooth control and a rain-return function cover the useful basics. The listing states a 30% incline limit and about one hour of battery life, but that area rating does not mean it can mow 300 m² in one charge. Its 2.8-star rating from 28 UK-headed reviews is a serious caution: charging trouble and getting stuck recur in the available feedback. The cutting-height bullets say 20–55 mm, although the table's 20 cm minimum is an obvious conflict that should not guide a buying decision. This is a conditional choice for a simple lawn and an owner prepared to install and adjust the loop, rather than the safest all-round recommendation.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Simple lawns up to 300 m² where a wired boundary can be installed and adjusted
Less suitable: Uneven, mossy or complex gardens, or buyers who want wire-free setup
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Compact 300RBS have a rain sensor?
The listing says a rain sensor sends it back to the charging station.
What is the cutting width?
The bullet and the specification table both say 16 cm.
Is assembly required?
The listing says assembly is required. It does not itemise the boundary wire or pegs.
The MOVA LiDAX Ultra 800 uses 360° 3D LiDAR with AI vision, avoiding both a boundary wire and an RTK reference station. Its 28 cm cutting width is the broadest in this set, and the app-controlled 3–10 cm cutting range is aimed at lawns kept noticeably longer as well as close-cut grass. The listing also claims two maps, recognition of more than 300 obstacle types and slopes up to 45%, which makes the specification ambitious. However, the extract gives no rated area beyond the model name, no battery details and no UK star rating or review text. Although it is said to return to a station and resume, the station is not itemised in the box contents. At £649, it asks the highest price in the group without the review evidence needed to support a premium recommendation, so it is better treated as a technology-led shortlist option than a proven top pick.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Buyers comparing LiDAR navigation for a complex lawn and willing to verify the complete kit
Less suitable: Anyone seeking established UK review evidence or a clearly documented package
Specifications
Common questions
How does it navigate without wires?
The bullets say 360° 3D LiDAR and AI vision, with no wires and no RTK station.
What slopes does the listing claim?
The bullets claim slopes up to 45% and paths of 60 cm.
Is there a UK star rating?
The extract has no Customer Reviews line and no review text.
For this comparison we read 7 amazon.co.uk robotic-mower listings and the public UK sources below. Scores follow the star rating on each listing. We did not run a laboratory test. The MOVA row has no Customer Reviews line in the extract. Models on the Yard Force UK shop are a different list from these amazon rows.
Rated area
25%Match the measured lawn to the rated area, and leave about a fifth of headroom as a retailer rule of thumb. The area figure assumes many charges.
Navigation
20%A boundary wire ignores trees and weak Wi-Fi. Vision and LiDAR skip the pegging and fail when the border looks like the grass.
Slope
15%Read the listing as a percentage. 30% is about 17 degrees. A degree figure and a percent figure are different claims.
Box contents
25%A dock needs an outdoor socket. A tool-only price is a different kit from a listing that names a battery.
Shelf price
15%Price is the amazon.co.uk figure in the extract, from about £296 to £649, including one tool-only listing.
Match the lawn you measured to the rated area, then check whether the listing is a wire loop or a camera, and whether the battery and dock are in the box.
A robotic lawnmower in this comparison is a battery robot that mulches little and often, then returns to charge. UK buyers here are looking at one amazon.co.uk search that mixed a Yard Force robot with other brands. Pedestrian Yard Force mowers are a different comparison. The brand shop, separately, lists EasyMow260B, MB400, MB800 and the wire-free i600 between £299.99 and £499.99. Only the Compact 300RBS is the Yard Force row in this extract.

The 300RBS is rated to 300 m² with about 60 minutes of running. The WORX table prints 45 minutes beside 600 m². Both figures assume the robot returns to charge.
30% is about 17 degrees. A SUNTEK title that says 35° and a bullet that says 35% are two different claims.
The Bosch VisiMow at about £296 is titled without a battery or charger. A listing that names a pack is a different purchase.
Start with the lawn in square metres. The Compact 300RBS is rated to 300 m² with about 60 minutes of running on the Yard Force page, so the area assumes many charges. A retailer rule of thumb is to leave about a fifth of headroom. That is a rule of thumb, not a Yard Force specification. In this set the stated areas are 100 m² (Bosch), 150 m² (V100), 250 m² (SUNTEK), 300 m² (300RBS) and 600 m² (WORX). The V3 bullets do not state an area.
Slope is a percent. 30% is about 17 degrees, and the 300RBS listing and the Yard Force page say 30%. The V100 bullet says 20°. The SUNTEK title says 35° and a bullet says 35%. The MOVA bullets claim 45%. Bosch and WORX do not state a climbing slope. The V3 35° line is a tilt sensor. Then read the box. The Bosch title is without battery and charger, at about £296, and it uses POWER FOR ALL 18 V packs you supply. The V100 states 18 V 4 Ah at about £349.99 and does not name a charger.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You will peg a wire, or you accept a vision fringe, on a single lawn under about 300 m². The Compact 300RBS is the wired Yard Force row, rated to 300 m², with 2.8 from 28 UK-headed reviews.
You already have a POWER FOR ALL 18 V pack and a lawn up to 100 m². The VisiMow is sold without a battery or charger, at about £296, with 4.1 from 72 reviews.
You want no perimeter wire on a lawn up to 150 m², and you want a battery capacity in the listing. The V100 states an 18 V 4 Ah pack and includes magnetic no-go strips, at about £349.99.
For a lawn up to 100 m² with a clear edge, the top pick is the Bosch VisiMow 18V-100: wire-free, 16 cm cut, 20–60 mm, 4.1 from 72 reviews, about £296, and sold without a battery or charger. If you want a stated 18 V 4 Ah pack and no perimeter cable on a lawn up to 150 m², the best value is the YARDCARE V100 at about £349.99. The Yard Force Compact 300RBS is the only Yard Force robot in this set. It is rated to 300 m² and carries 2.8 from 28 UK-headed reviews.
