Will the Charging Station for WR140, WR141, WR143 work fine with a WR155 Landroid? I called today Worx today and they are sending me a replacement base station & charging unit.

I noticed the model # in the order confirmation was for a different unit.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m curious about the long-term durability of the Landroid models using the boundary wire. I'd love to hear some stats and experiences from people who have been using theirs for several seasons.

A few questions for you:

• Total distance: How many kilometers/miles has your Landroid covered so far?
• Lifespan: How many seasons has it been in service?
• Battery health: Have you noticed a significant drop in mowing time per charge over the years, or is the original battery still going strong?
• "Plus" Versions: For those of you who have the Plus versions (wired), are they still running reliably for you today?

I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of "mileage" I can expect and whether these machines are truly built to last.

Thanks for sharing your stats!

I recently got my hands on an M700 / WR142E and set about setting up a temporary zone while I finish creating the actual area that I got it for.

I pegged out a 120m^2 area, made sure the run-in to the charging station was straight and level enough to make the average NASA engineer nod with quiet approval, and painstakingly teased the grass out from under the perimeter wire while the mower sat and charged.

And I set it going.

Like all new automower owners, I followed it around like a lovesick puppy for half an hour, eventually tired of it's lack of pace, and decided to tell it to find the charger.

It followed the line like a tipsy bloodhound, and looked on happily as it followed the run-in to the dock with superb accuracy... and then it drove AROUND the dock - skirting around it like a politician dancing around a difficult question, and carrying on along the wire in its eternal search for home.

It took me a while to realise the mistake. It's a temporary zone. I didn't want to cut the wire, and I'd left the spool of wire *still in the circuit* and sat neatly against the back of the dock. Obviously I'd made a neatly coiled antenna that broadcast a signal that overpowered the single wire's signal.

I turned the spool around to confirm my theory, and it had the opposite effect: causing the mower to attack the base like horny tortoise.

Lesson learned. 😄

I'm now wondering if a neatly made coil above the ground, and around the base of a tree or plant could act as a no-go-zone by repelling the mower, but that's probably more effort than its worth.

Is there any where I can see the actual auto-schedule times not just the weekly bar chart.

We live off G avenue, its bulk trash pick up time. Our Orange Landroid auto mower was running in our front yard and now its gone. Its possible that the people rummaging through our garbage at the road moved stuff over the boundary wire, so the Landroid got stuck by the bulk items and someone took it thinking it was fair game. Its orange and black, Worx brand, and has metal spikes added to the back tires. If you took it on accident, please return it, it is of no use to you without the base and the app pairing.

So I’ve had my Landroid WR141E for a while now, and I’ve come to accept that we have fundamentally different views on what “mowing the grass” means.

I want it to cut the grass. It wants to excavate it.
Every time it hits a turn, it plants itself firmly into the turf and spins like it’s auditioning for a drill bit commercial. The result is a lawn that looks less like a golf course and more like a crime scene reconstruction. Perfectly mowed grass — punctuated by little crop circles of doom where the wheels decided gravity was optional.
I’ve tried talking to it. It doesn’t listen. Probably busy planning its next dig site.

In all seriousness though — has anyone found any good tweaks for this? I’m thinking about things like:
• Trying out different wheels
• Boundary wire placement tricks to avoid tight turning spots
• Any settings in the app that affect turning speed or behavior or torx?
• Physical terrain fixes — gravel, ramps, anything?

The lawn is starting to look like the surface of the moon and my neighbors are asking questions.

Im seriously starting to hate it and might need professional help or psychiatric counseling.

All tips appreciated 🙏

I recently bought a Landroid M700 in the hopes of avoiding cutting the lawn as much.

When I tested it after setting everything up (which appears to have been done correctly), I discovered that it would often get stuck, due to the rather thick moss in our garden, as well as it being rather bumpy. (We live in an old farmhouse, and our lawn as you can imagine is old and less-than-immaculate).
So, I bought a kit with some attachments for the back tires and a cover for the front tire, to give it some more grip.
It's helped, but it still gets stuck - on what looks like the front "grill". I tried adding some weight to the back to lift it up, but either I didn't add enough or it isn't helping.
What can I do? Remove the front "grill"?

I'd hate to give up on it less than 2 weeks after buying it, especially as it's barely run.

Hey, stupid question probably, but maybe someone give me a clear info on this.

I gotta install a Landroid mower tomorrow. not sure what model exactly. The manual says on a flat surface there has to be 10cm to lawn border, and with high borders there need to be 26cm. in case of a pool/body of water the manual says 30cm to border, probably the full width of the mower + 4cm extra just in case as a margin of error I guess?

now. its been a few years since I installed these. there are hedges all around the garden as well as some fences. Surely with the fences I should keep 26cm distance, but the hedges... they are not "exactly" flat surface. I'm not sure if 10cm means that several cm of the mower end up inside the hedge, or if 10cm is intended already for it to work with the wheel within the border.

Hope this makes sense. I had a long day, I'm tired and not thinking straight. What I need to know is if 10cm on flat are meant for the mower to run on, say, a paved path with one wheel or if 10cm mean the mower stays within the border completely.

edit: turns out I'm also missing that triangle template for the corners... if anyone has that, feel free to let me know where I can maybe download it.

I recently bought the Landroid WR303E Cloud Vision, did a manual map around the edge (I even drove literally on the edge with one wheel) and the mower just won't cut that edge. I have cut-to-zero installed and for some reason, there are some edges where it will go 10cm (or more) away from them for no reason.

I did the edge routine and it did go around the edge, but it just never seems to go where I originally mapped it.

Here's the latest cutting map:

It's clearly visible on the map, where darker green represents the path that mower took to cut the edge and more than half of it is not on the edge.

The red circle is this area:

This couldn't be cleaner area for it to cut, but for some reason it just takes such a big turn, it misses around 10 (sometimes 20) centimeters of that edge.

This is the yellow area:

Same here, it drives somewhere around 10cm away from the edge, even tho during mapping, I had one wheel almost on the stones (it was on that slab/edge).

I found a few posts on the internet, saying that I should enable something called "Cut over border" but I can't seem to find this feature. It should be in some Multi-Zone menu in the app, but I don't have that button anywhere and I only have one zone anyway.

How do I force it to go closer to the edge?

Note that near the charging station, there is quite a similar edge and for some reason, the mower has no problem with that edge and goes exactly where I originally mapped it.

I tried to re-map the yard 3 times and 3 times the same result.

Update: the Landroid has been returned! Person doing the return reports it was found "on the curb" (we don't have those, presumably meant side of the road?) and not working, so someone not that person assumed it was trash and took it to harvest parts for RC cars. Not sure how plausible that is, but, hey, a responsible person went to some trouble to find me and return my property. Got to appreciate that. Or, you know, a thief discovered it was worthless...but someone willing to appear on a security camera for a return earns some benefit of the doubt.

Someone stole my Landroid out of its garage overnight (password and wifi lock enabled, but I opted against the add-on GPS, and the tile I stuck in the battery compartment isn't pinging). I knew that was a possibility, but the 165 was my first lawnbot and I wasn't entirely sure I believed it would work at all, so I opted for the cheapest version I thought had a chance. It's been almost two years, I'd say I got my money's worth, but the boundary wire was a hassle, and clearly I need more security. Lumpy quarter-acre yard with a couple of raised beds, obvious optimum lawn-garage space where the Landroid's charging station is. Prefer one that isn't forever summoning me to help it--and that will scream if someone attempts to remove it from its designated territory.

Does anyone know how much electricity the Worx Landroid Vision Cloud M650 (or a similar model), or the base station, consumes in standby mode? I’d also be very interested in the data usage.

Thanks!

Just joined the club with a wr310.1, and have been thinking about getting the garage cover for the dock, but then how will it know it rained and that it should wait if it's rain sensor is under a roof?

Currently I have .2 acres to mow and either of these models should work but I also don't want to wait 2 days for the mower to finish the entire grass. I see that the 320 has a 5 AH battery and the 310 has a 4 AH battery so the 320 should work longer but also take 20 minutes more to charge each time. My lawn is simple with no obstructions on the grass and has concrete and fence borders. I am interested in hearing what others have experienced to see if the 310 will mow the .2 acres in 12 hours or less.
