He has received lawn mowing robots from all manufacturers. How delightful!

Roborock has officially released its new smart lawn mower robot series in the Netherlands, partnering with local professional retailer Vitaro to expand coverage across the Benelux market.

It rolls out three product lines covering compact city gardens to large complex lawns, inheriting Roborock’s mature navigation and AI sensing technology. Models range from budget entry-level to high-end flagship, with wildlife-friendly modes fitting European environmental habits.

What’s your take on Roborock entering the robotic lawn mower space?

Guys, just saw Roborock launched their first robot lawn mower in the UK, the RockMow Z1. It’s been a while since they announced it at IFA 2025, and now it’s officially available for £2,999. It can climb up to 80% slopes and has a pretty solid app, but I’m curious what everyone thinks about the price tag.

Anyone here been waiting for Roborock to enter the UK lawn mower market? Is £2,999 what you expected?

Just read a pretty unsettling report about the well-known Y-brand outdoor yard robot, and I felt like sharing this with everyone here.

Security researchers recently found a pretty critical vulnerability that’s honestly hard to ignore. The device uses a universal root password shared across all units worldwide, and the worst part is users can’t permanently change it on their own—firmware updates just reset it right back. That means any attacker who figures out the loophole could remotely take full control of these robots, access location data, camera footage, private home network info, and more.

It’s wild to think a large, motorized outdoor robot with cameras and sharp blades could be so exposed from such a basic design oversight. Makes me really question how many smart home and outdoor robot brands skip proper security testing just to rush products out.

What’s your take? Would you feel comfortable having one of these Y-brand robots in your yard knowing this kind of flaw exists?

Just came across the new RoboBooster Panther lawn robot live on Kickstarter.
It combines mowing, edging, leaf collection and lawn pattern design in one unit, with LiDAR wire-free navigation and AWD all-wheel drive for steep slopes.

For pricing: Early bird starts at **$1299** (retail $1999), the Pro version is $1499, and the full package goes for $1999. The campaign has already blown past its funding target quickly.

Do you think this all-in-one design with this price point is worth it for home lawn maintenance?
