Best Yard Force robotic lawnmower in this comparison
Updated: October 2026
You may recognise Yard Force as a budget-friendly name, then find that most best-robot-mower lists discuss completely different models. In our [Yard Force robotic lawnmower comparison](/hub/lawn-and-garden-equipment/yard-force-robotic-lawnmower), the Compact 300RBS is the only Yard Force machine. It is the conditional wired choice for a straightforward lawn, not a lab-tested winner. If you refuse to peg a boundary wire, a wire-free listing in the same extract is the one to open instead. Prices and ratings below come from that amazon.co.uk extract, not from a claim that one mower suits every garden. A qualifying purchase can earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

The only Yard Force robot in the table
The Yard Force Compact 300RBS costs about £428.06 and is rated for lawns up to 300 m². It cuts a 16 cm path, has a stated 20–55 mm height range and uses a boundary loop. Yard Force gives it a 30% incline, roughly 17 degrees, and about 60 minutes of running.
A correctly installed loop remains a signal under tree cover and beside an edge that looks like grass. The installation guide sets out the loop requirements.
It has 2.8 stars from 28 UK-headed reviews, and charging failures and getting stuck recur. The bullets give 20–55 mm, while the table prints a 20 cm minimum. Buy it only if wired navigation suits the lawn and you will test the dock within the returns period.
When a wire-free listing is the better one to open
The YARDCARE V100 is the clearest wire-free alternative under £400. It costs about £349.99, is rated for up to 150 m² and uses camera vision. An 18 V 4 Ah detachable battery is stated, with a 16 cm cut, five positions from 20 to 60 mm and a claimed 20°. Two 5 m magnetic strips mark no-go areas. They are not a complete perimeter.
This is the best value listing if the border is unmistakable and you want to avoid a pegged loop. The headline is 4.0 from 32 reviews, although only two review headers in the extract are from the United Kingdom. The listing does not name a charger, app or charging station. The boundary wire or wire-free guide settles that choice first.
The Bosch VisiMow 18V-100 is the top pick on rating, at 4.1 stars from 72 reviews, listed at about £296 for lawns up to 100 m² with no perimeter wire. The title says the battery and charger are not included. It suits an owner who already has a POWER FOR ALL 18 V pack. Otherwise add those costs before comparing it with the V100.
Rows to leave closed for now
The WORX WR206E Landroid Vision is rated to 600 m² with a 20 V PowerShare battery. At about £457.17 it has 3.1 stars from 23 reviews. Complaints about 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and docking recur, and the listing conflicts on cutting width and height. Extra nominal area does not help a 100–300 m² garden if return-to-charge is the point.
The MOVA LiDAX Ultra 800, at about £649, claims 360° 3D LiDAR plus AI vision, a 28 cm cut and slopes up to 45%, without a boundary wire or RTK station. The extract has no star rating, no review text and no stated battery. Shortlist it only if LiDAR solves a specific problem and the seller confirms the charging package.
A conditional shortlist
Choose the 300RBS when you want a loop on a simple lawn and accept its weak review record. Open the V100 when your lawn is around 150 m², has clear borders and you want to avoid wire, then verify the charger. Choose the Bosch for a very small, defined lawn if you already own its battery system. For the sequence of area, slope, navigation and box-content checks, use the Yard Force robot lawn mower buying guide.
Common questions
Which Yard Force robot is actually in this comparison?
Only the Yard Force Compact 300RBS is an amazon.co.uk row in this comparison. Yard Force’s UK shop also lists models such as the MB400, MB800 and wire-free i600, but they are different products. Their shop prices and specifications should not be attached to the 300RBS listing.
Who should not buy the Compact 300RBS?
Skip it if you cannot provide outdoor power, do not want to install a loop, or have a rough, mossy lawn with awkward transitions. Its 2.8-star review record also makes it a poor fit if you want a low-risk, hands-off purchase from the first day.
Is the YARDCARE V100 the best value option?
It is the best value conditional pick in this set at about £349.99 for a wire-free lawn up to 150 m². That judgement depends on clear borders and on the seller confirming the charger or charging arrangement, which the extracted listing does not itemise.
Is the Bosch really cheaper than the V100?
The Bosch mower body is listed at about £296, but the battery and charger are excluded. It can be cheaper if you already own a compatible POWER FOR ALL 18 V pack. A new buyer must add both items before comparing its working price with the V100 at about £349.99.
Why is the WORX not the recommendation?
The WORX covers a larger stated area, but its 3.1-star rating from 23 reviews is weak for about £457.17. Repeated Wi-Fi and docking complaints, plus conflicting cutting specifications, make it harder to recommend for a small lawn than the higher-rated Bosch or the lower-priced V100.
Can any model here be called a test winner?
No. This comparison uses amazon.co.uk listing information and review signals. It is not a laboratory test. Top pick describes the strongest conditional choice within these rows, not an independent safety, durability or mowing-performance award.
