TOP 3 ROBOTIC MOWERS UNDER £550

#1, WORX Landroid M500+ WR165E Robot Mower

Meet the Smartest Lawn Buddy You’ll Ever Own, Picture this: your lawn is practically a small field, and the thought of wrestling a noisy mower every Saturday fills you with dread. That’s where the WORX Landroid M500+ steps in and changes the game. Tailored for gardens up to 500m², this cheerful orange robot isn’t just another mower, it’s your new garden sidekick with a few surprises up its sleeve.

A Clever Operator, Not Your Average Robot. Thanks to its smart AIA (Artificial Intelligence Algorithm) system, the Landroid M500+ doesn’t wander aimlessly around your garden like a lost robot. Instead, it plots the best route, zipping around your lawn up to 30% faster than many of its robotic rivals. Its floating cutting deck means it sails over bumps and dips with ease, so you won’t catch it getting stuck or leaving unsightly bald patches. And if you like to keep tabs on your tech, you’ll love the app: just connect the mower to your phone via Wi-Fi and you can tweak its schedule, see how it’s getting on, or even pause the mow while you’re relaxing with a drink outside.

Set Up and Sit Back. No need for a manual the size of a phone book. The Landroid M500+ comes ready to go right out of the box, boundary wire, pegs, and all. Mark out your turf, plug it in, and you’re ready. Once it’s finished grooming your grass, it’ll trundle itself back to the charging station for a well-earned break. No need to chase it down or coax it home.

Our Verdict - With cutting heights you can adjust from 20mm to 50mm, a cutting width of 180mm, and a build tough enough to withstand Irish weather, the WORX Landroid M500+ does the job quietly and reliably. It’s the kind of helper every gardener dreams of always on time, never moans about the rain, and keeps your lawn looking spot-on without you lifting a finger.

#2, Flymo EasiLife GO 400 Robotic Mower

Meet the Quiet Genius with a Sixth Sense for Lawns. If you imagine the WORX Landroid as the gadget-obsessed cousin in the family, the Flymo EasiLife GO 400 is more like the effortlessly cool relative who gets things done without making a fuss. No flashy displays, no showboating, just quietly trimming your grass while you’re inside, feet up, enjoying a cuppa and feeling rather smug about your life choices.

Weather? It’s got that sussed. This orange-and-grey little number isn’t fazed by our unpredictable Irish climate. Thanks to its nifty LawnSense and FrostSense features, it’s clever enough to read the forecast and adapt its mowing routine. Frosty morning? It stays tucked in. Scorching afternoon? It knows to take it easy. Honestly, it seems to have more common sense than most of us.

Getting started is a doddle. No cryptic menus, no wrestling with a hundred buttons. Flymo keeps things simple: a few friendly LED lights and a handy Bluetooth app let you fine-tune the schedule or check in, all without stepping outside and getting your socks soggy.

And it’s so quiet, just 58 decibels, which is basically a gentle whisper. You could be reading on the patio and not even notice it’s out there, quietly getting on with the job while your neighbours assume you’ve discovered some secret to a perfect lawn.

Navigation is spot on, too. The guide wire keeps it from trampling the flowerbeds, and PassageSense helps it squeeze through tight spaces without drama. No random tracks, no stuck mower.

All told, the EasiLife GO 400 is perfect for anyone who wants a pristine lawn without hassle, drama, or a racket. It’s smart, subtle, and won’t break the bank, a laid-back way to keep your garden looking sharp, no sweat required.

#3, Bosch Robotic Lawnmower Indego S500

The Lawn with a Game Plan - If robotic mowers were chess players, the Bosch Indego S 500 would be Magnus Carlsen, cool, strategic, and always a move ahead. While most mowers just wander about like sheep looking for greener grass, the Indego S 500 takes a much smarter approach. Thanks to its LogiCut technology, it actually maps out your lawn and then mows in crisp, parallel lines. The upshot? You get a neat finish in less time, so you can put your feet up and enjoy the garden instead of watching a mower go around in circles.

Brains, Borders, and Brilliant Efficiency - This isn’t just a grass-cutter, it’s a planner. Every mowing session starts with a Border Cut, so you’ll notice those razor-sharp edges that make your lawn look like it’s had the full five-star treatment. It even works out the perfect mowing schedule for you with its clever Auto Calendar Function, taking your lawn’s size into account. Honestly, it’s got a better work-life balance than most of us.

Compact But Clever - The Indego S 500 might not be the biggest, its cutting width is just 19cm but don’t let that fool you. It can handle lawns up to 500 m² and squeezes through passages as narrow as 75cm, all without needing a guide wire. Got a garden that’s more patchwork than perfect? No bother, the Multiarea function lets it tackle up to three separate zones, all in one go.

The Takeaway - With typical Bosch reliability and smart engineering, this mower delivers a sharp, speedy cut every single time. It’s not the cheapest option, but for anyone who’d rather spend their weekends relaxing than mowing, it’s a genuine “set it and forget it” solution.

Final Word – Robots That Earn Their Keep

Let’s be honest, mowing the lawn is hardly a highlight of the week, it’s right up there with untangling Christmas lights. The good news is that robotic mowers aren’t just a thing of the future anymore; they’re now affordable and practical for most gardens.

Whether you fancy the tech wizardry of the Bosch Indego S 500, the weather-savvy Flymo EasiLife GO 400, or the easy-going WORX Landroid M500+, these under-£550 heroes show that being “lazy” can actually mean being efficient. No petrol, no hassle, no fuss just a well-kept lawn and more time for you to enjoy it. So, why not let the robots take over? It might just be the best decision you make for your garden this year and next year.
