'Total game-changer' robot lawnmower hits lowest ever price – it's cheaper than Prime Day
The MOVA Viax 300 Robotic Lawnmower is on sale at Yimbly for £404, but can be snapped up for even less when the discount code SUMMER10 is applied, reducing the cost further to £363.60 – cheaper than Amazon's Early Prime Day deal
Keeping your lawn and grassy areas looking pristine can feel like a never-ending chore. That's why more and more people are turning to cutting-edge technology for help — and Yimbly is currently offering a cracking deal on a robotic lawnmower that one shopper described as a 'total game-changer'.
The MOVA Viax 300 Robotic Lawnmower ordinarily retails at £519, but the online marketplace — owned by this site's parent company, Reach Plc — has slashed the price to £404. Better still, it can be picked up for even less by applying the discount code SUMMER10, bringing the cost down further to £363.60.
A Yimbly spokesperson has confirmed the gadget is 'cheaper than it's ever been', representing a saving of more than £155 off the full retail price of £519. It also undercuts the £392 price tag seen in Amazon's Early Prime Day Deal.
Capable of handling lawns of up to 300m2, the mower promises to deliver 'intelligent lawn care through AI vision' — meaning it uses AI-assisted mapping to assess the size of your lawn and determine the most efficient mowing route. Yimbly states it employs a U-shape cutting pattern to guarantee 'efficient, full‐coverage performance, leaving your lawn evenly trimmed with minimal effort'.
AI technology also enables it to detect and steer clear of more than 300 types of obstacles - which will be particularly reassuring for pet owners. It's not solely suited to flat lawns either, as the robotic mower can handle slopes of up to 40% and tackle obstacles as high as 4cm, reports Wales Online.
Setting it up is straightforward, using boundary wires to map out the edges of your lawn. It comes complete with a dedicated app, allowing users to personalise mowing schedules, zones and settings. It also has anti-life protection and promises 'low-noise operation'.
The device is wireless and compact, measuring: H27.1 x W59.5 x D38cm.
Alternatively, B&Q stocks the Yard Force Robotic Lawnmower for £449.99. This model can handle gardens of up to 800m2, is powered by a removable 20V 2.5Ah lithium-ion battery, and offers adjustable cutting heights.
Meanwhile, Argos carries the LawnMaster OcuMow Cordless Robotic Lawnmower for £300. Built for lawns of up to 150m2, this model requires no boundary wires - instead relying on a camera and sensors with recognition software to cut the grass.
The MOVA Viax 300 Robotic Lawnmower has earned glowing reviews on Amazon, with one shopper writing as part of a lengthier five-star review: "Effortless lawn care. I recently upgraded to the MOVA Viax 300, and it has completely transformed my weekend routine. If you're tired of pushing a heavy mower around in the heat, this robotic mower is a total game-changer."
Another remarked: "Wonderful. Easy to setup. Works flawlessly. Maintains our lawns beautifully."
Meanwhile, a third remarked as part of a lengthier review: "I always thought robot lawnmowers were a total gimmick - the kind of thing you buy after watching one too many late night adverts. Turns out I was spectacularly wrong.
"The Mova Viax 300 is an absolute little legend. It was so easy to set up that even I managed it without swearing, sweating, or phoning a mate. I've used it a few times now and it just gets on with the job like a tiny, silent gardener who never asks for tea breaks."
Though they added: "My only complaint? I wish it cut a bit closer to the edge - but honestly, that's nitpicking. I'm not expecting it to trim the hedges and make me a sandwich."
Another commented as part of a more detailed review: "The app isn't the most intuitive, but after a few hours of playing around you get the hang of it."
