A top-notch robotic lawnmower for larger lawns in the UK in 2024 should be equipped with advanced GPS navigation and multi-zone programming capabilities to efficiently manage the vast area and complex layouts. Additionally, it needs to have a robust battery system for extended run times and a wide cutting deck to ensure maximum coverage with minimum passes, even in the often unpredictable British weather.

Best Robotic Lawn Mowers For Large Lawns & Gardens (800m² to 1,500m²)
Of course all these models are little different from one to another, in terms of how they operate and the features they offer, so to make it easier, I have included which type of person and garden these robotic mowers are ideal for. If you click on the “Click here to read my review” under each mower, it will take you to a full and in-depth review of each robotic mower, where I have included all the pros and cons, main features, optional extras (great for future expansion), navigation and power system, charging station, mowing features, cost and much more. With this information you should be able to pick the best robotic mower for you and your garden. However, if you’re still unsure then just leave a question in the comments box below and I’ll do my best to help you out.

In my video below, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of choosing the best robotic lawn mower for you and your lawn.
Conclusion
So to sum up, these are my best robotic mowers for large sized lawns between 800m² an 1,500m².
The WORX mowers are the most flexible robotic mowers and have the ability to be extended with their range of Add-On Features. These mowers ensure that if your circumstances change or you want to purchase optional extras such as Anti-Collision System, Voice Control, Radio Link, GPS controlled – Find My Landroid or Off Limits YOU CAN at a later date. In addition, both of the WORX models allow you to cut right to the edge of your lawn, meaning that there will be no trimming work required. The 1500 WORX model also has the benefit of a floating deck, meaning that the mower will be prevented from getting beached on uneven lawns.
The Robomow robotic mower is a premium mower from this manufacturer, that has 2 single rotating tri-edged blades, that provide a impressive 56cm cutting width, this is ideal for larger lawns. This mower can cover up to 7 separate lawn areas. This robotic mower also has the benefit of a floating deck, meaning that this mower will perform better on uneven surfaces, preventing it from getting stuck on the lawn.
The Ambrogio mower is fitted with 2x 2.5Ah Lithium-ion batteries, has blue tooth app control and allows you to have 4 separate manageable areas. One thing to note about this robotic mower is that it doesn’t come supplied with the boundary wire and pegs, they have to be purchased separately. Another notable fact about the Ambrogio is that this robotic mower uses a single steel blade, this blade is longer lasting compared to the smaller rotating individual razer blades, found on other models.
Bear in mind that not all robotic mowers are created equally. Older models will mow your lawn either in a random pattern OR will use a pre-set route. Other more recent models such as the WORX range have artificial intelligence technology, that both ensure an even cut of your lawn and most efficient and effective path around the perimeter is maintained. In addition, these mowers have the ability to learn about your lawn and adapt according to the actual growth rate of your grass.
As a seasoned expert in the field of garden power tools, I have dedicated over a decade to working with and reviewing a wide variety of lawn mowers. My extensive experience has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the benefits and limitations of different types of mowers and garden tools.
Over the years, I have honed my skills in writing informative articles and creating helpful videos for various blogs and publications. This has given me the ability to not only recognise what makes a good lawn mower, but also to help you choose the perfect garden tool for your specific needs and requirements.
With my wealth of knowledge and expertise, I am confident that I can provide you with valuable insights and recommendations when it comes to selecting the right lawn mower for your lawn. So, whether you're looking for a battery cordless, electric, petrol, or robotic mower, you can trust in my expertise to guide you towards the best option for your garden.
Mark,
Good reviews.
I have about 800 sq m of lawn but it is incredibly bitty with a main lawn, a smaller one and a lot of fairly narrow paths. I quite like the look of the Worx, but worry that it might all be out of range of my router. Does that matter?
I also wonder about the lawnmaster, but fear that my paths might be too much for it.
The next generation of Worx might work, but my cut area of grass is adjacent to an area that is cut now but will be left to grow until the Autumn and I wonder whether it is clever enough to know where the boundary is.
Any comments will be welcomed.
What would you recommend
Hi Norman
Yes to get the best out of the robotic mower you will need a good wifi signal. I had to purchase an external wifi access point for my front garden to enable the mower to talk to the network. The alternative is to use a radio link for example WORX provide the “WORX WA0864 Radio Link Accessory” whereby you plug one end to your router and the other into the mower and will extend the range significantly. With regards to mowers that do not require a boundary wire, this is something I will be testing over the next few months, with several mowers that use either visual (like the WORX new range) or an enhanced GPS such as the Luba. Subscribe to my YouTube channel to see them in action.
My initial thoughts are that the GPS guided is going to be more accurate, and handle lawns that are not well defined better (such as the area you want to leave uncut). Hope this helps Mark
Looking forward to that video, I just looked on Worx website for the mowers that dont need a boundary wire and they are out of stock. I have a 1600m2 garden and my mower has just packed up so considering a robot instead of a ride on or pulling manual one.
Hi Jon
Yes I spoke to WORX and they are just sorting out a few issues with the Vision range of robotic mowers before they release them in the UK later this year.
Thanks
Mark
These lawnmowers look like great cutting machines. From the videos I would say they seem to cut quite well. I am assuming there is a mulching blade on it as I do not see how you can bag the grass.
I am surprised by the area that they can cover.
So to keep your lawn looking like “it has just been cut” how often would you need to cut your grass with this type of mower?
I know you said that it has an adjustment for longer grass but how long can you let your grass grow before you can’t use this mower? Even a push mower has limits.
These mowers are designed to mow everyday Maureen so their clippings are very small and drop down to the bottom of the soil so you can’t see them, so yeah they kind of have a mulching blade. Because of this the grass shouldn’t grow too long to the point where the mower can’t cut it ;-)
Well those lawn mowers are just about the coolest thing I have seen. It would be nice to sit and watch the lawn mower cut the grass by itself. I have a very bad back and cutting the grass usually puts me out of commission for 2 days. Something like this would be perfect.
Yeah it totally would Laurieann, I’m glad you enjoyed the post ;-)
