The Best Mowers

Brand guide · Updated May 2026

Worx Lawn Mowers

Worx is the brand that quietly punched above its weight in 2024 by launching the cheapest serious wire-free robot mower on the market — the Landroid Vision. They\'ve also been making solid mid-tier cordless mowers on the PowerShare 20V platform for years. Worx is what Ryobi was a decade ago: not the best on any single metric, but consistently the best price-to-quality ratio in its category.

The Worx range explained

Worx has two product lines worth knowing. PowerShare — the 20V cordless platform with mowers, hedge trimmers, blowers and 80+ other garden and DIY tools all sharing batteries. Landroid — the robot mower range, including the boundary-cable Landroid M and L, and the wire-free Landroid Vision. Worx doesn\'t make corded electric, petrol, or hover mowers.

Where Worx fits vs rivals

On cordless, Ryobi is the obvious rival — bigger ecosystem (200+ tools to Worx\'s 80+), broadly similar price, similar build quality. On robots, Husqvarna Automower is the premium alternative; Mammotion Luba 2 is the wire-free alternative at a higher price. The right buyer for Worx: someone who wants a wire-free robot under £1,000, or someone shopping price-first cordless without a strong existing battery loyalty.

Frequently asked questions

Are Worx lawn mowers any good?+
For the price, yes — Worx sits between Ryobi and budget no-name brands. The build quality is mid-tier, the PowerShare battery ecosystem has 80+ tools (smaller than Ryobi but real), and the Landroid Vision is genuinely the best budget wire-free robot mower on the market in 2026.
What is the Worx PowerShare battery system?+
PowerShare is Worx's shared 20V battery platform — drills, mowers, hedge trimmers, blowers, leaf vacuums, even a cordless pressure washer all use the same battery. Higher-output tools (mowers, brushcutters) take two batteries for 40V combined output. Smaller than Ryobi ONE+ or Bosch Power for All but covers most domestic gardening tools.
Worx Landroid Vision vs Husqvarna Automower — which is better?+
Different jobs. The Landroid Vision is wire-free (no boundary cable) and £400–£800 cheaper. The Husqvarna Automower 305 needs boundary cable but the firmware is 11+ years more mature and the build is properly premium. Vision is the better choice if you hate the idea of cable laying or have an irregular garden; Automower is the safer choice if reliability over a decade matters more than installation effort.
Where are Worx tools made?+
Worx is owned by Positec, a Chinese power-tool manufacturer that also makes Rockwell-branded tools. Design is Chinese; manufacturing is Chinese. Build quality is consistent across the range and noticeably better than no-name Amazon brands.
Can the Worx Landroid Vision really mow without a boundary wire?+
Yes — it uses a front-facing camera plus on-board AI to identify grass vs flower beds vs gravel in real time. You set virtual boundaries in the app. It works well in good light on lawns with clear grass-to-non-grass transitions. It struggles in heavy shade, on lawns with very long grass that obscures the boundary, and right after heavy rain.
