• PCWorldHands-on testin English4.0/5
  Praised

  • "A very clean cut thanks to the double blade": even tall or dense grass barely fazes the mower deck
  • Chain-track drive tackles even steep slopes; reliably handled gradients of about 30 degrees on the test property without slipping
  • 528 Wh LiFePO4 battery, with fast charging and long service life claimed by Lymow; on the test property (531 m2), one charge delivered 142 minutes of mowing at medium speed, with 42% capacity still left
  • Precise navigation even under trees (RTK + VSLAM); obstacle detection reliably spotted toys, patio furniture, sprinklers and branches, only missing very flat objects like a folding ruler
  • High-quality metal construction (steel chassis, A380 die-cast aluminum frame), IPX6-rated for hosing down

  Faulted

  • Louder than a typical robot mower: Lymow's own spec sheet, reproduced in the review, states 60 dB(A) for Eco mode, 62 dB(A) for Standard and 74 dB(A) for Turbo; in Turbo mode it's "virtually impossible to relax in the yard while the mower is in operation", per the reviewer
  • Edges remain uncut when mowing along borders: a 10 to 20 cm strip is left along trees, shrubs or restricted zones; on driveable lawn edging stones the result is nearly clean since the tracks can roll over them
  • Setup is more complex than with many LiDAR robot mowers: the RTK antenna needs a clear sky view, and tracing the property boundaries by joystick took about 30 to 45 minutes on the test site
  • If the RTK antenna is moved later, the whole map has to be recreated from scratch
  • Below 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degC) the side-discharge rubber cover becomes too stiff to open reliably in non-turbo modes, occasionally letting clippings build up; the tester notes this didn't affect the mowing result itself

• How To With DocHands-on testin English
  Praised

  • Real rotary lawnmower-style blades, not typical thin razor discs, give the airflow, lift and cut action needed for quality cutting on thick, tall grass, tested on the reviewer's own farm in Georgia
  • Tracked propulsion, described by Lymow as built to handle slopes up to 45 degrees and uneven terrain
  • Final verdict: "a solid thumbs up" on bumpy or hilly residential terrain, delivering a finish the reviewer compares to a reel mower, while noting "it is not a brush cutter"

  Faulted

  • Out of the box, thick or wet grass can occasionally clog the side discharge port; the reviewer's own fix (removing the side vent flap, trimming an internal metal bar with a rotary tool) is an unofficial modification that voids the factory warranty

• Maison et DomotiqueHands-on testin French
  Praised

  • "Two independent brushless motors" and two 20 cm SK5 blades (40 cm total width): the cut is cleaner, the robot struggles less in dense grass, thick stems go through more easily
  • Tracks clearly more effective than wheels on exposed roots, gravel, ruts and obstacles up to about 7 cm; "where other robots slip or get stuck, the Lymow keeps going"
  • On slopes, judges the 45-degree rating Lymow claims to be "not just marketing", a stable behavior that shows up day to day on common slopes and rough terrain, while noting few gardens actually reach that angle
  • Mapping is done entirely by hand, driving the robot like a remote-control car via the app's virtual joysticks; judged maneuverable despite the machine's 35 kg, with precise boundaries traced even on complex plots
  • Handled, on a lawn left unmowed for three weeks, grass well beyond usual heights, meadows with dock and couch grass, that no conventional robot would even attempt
  • Cutting result on a normally maintained lawn judged comparable to the best RTK robots on the market: even stripes, few misses, even on slightly leaning or damp grass
  • Motorized cutting deck accessible without flipping the 35 kg machine; removable battery via a rear hatch, easing a future replacement; self-cleaning brushes limiting debris buildup
  • The only model, per the reviewer, able to mow his roughly one-hectare wooded leisure property without getting stuck, with exposed roots, fallen branches and holes

  Faulted

  • "Let's be direct: between 73 and 78 dB depending on settings", clearly more than a typical robot mower, though judged quieter than a gas mower and acceptable a few meters away on a large property
  • "On a flat 300 or 500 m2 garden, this robot makes no sense": size, price (close to €3,000) and power judged oversized for a small plot
  • In heavily overgrown areas, the vision system sometimes mistakes large clumps of grass for obstacles, needlessly slowing or detouring the robot; switching to contact-only detection helps in tall grass but makes the robot less attentive to small animals and objects on the ground
  • On grass left unmowed for three weeks or more, a single pass isn't enough: the reviewer had to progressively lower the cutting height over three passes to get a clean finish
  • The charger's power draw (5 A or 10 A depending on the model) requires real power, a point worth noting for a site running only on solar panels
