Robot mowers have improved dramatically over the years and are becoming a staple for the tech-obsessed with sizable yards. Instead of having to drop boundary wires around your property to prevent your robot from cutting a neighbor’s yard, newer machines have advancements that allow for boundary setting with cameras and sensors. One of these newer mowers is the Eufy Robot Lawn Mower E15 , and right now it’s $949.99 (originally $2,299.99) after a 59% discount. This is the lowest price it has ever been, according to price-tracking tools .
Instead of using an RTK antenna for satellite navigation, the E15 maps your yard using its camera and sensors, so it’s a very hands-off setup. The downside is that you can’t manually set up or correct your map once it’s done. This will mainly be an issue if your map is bigger than 0.2 acres, since you can’t tell it which part to map.
The E15 also lets you create zones so you can mow certain sections at specific times. You can also create no-go zones. Eufy has been making robot vacuums for many years, so the navigation tech isn’t new, and it’s works just as well with robot mowers. The E15 can detect objects and go around them, go over 18-degree slopes, and even has a GPS tracker meant to deter theft. You can read about these features in more detail in ZDNet’s review of the E15 .
One of the biggest things you need to be aware of about the E15 is that it cannot mow at night. Because it uses its camera and sensors, it needs light to do so. If you need more acreage, the E18 supports a slightly larger range of 0.3 acres.
