Bought back an hour of my Saturday mornings
- Prep/Analysis I have ~7,500 sq ft of grass (mostly Kentucky Bluegrass) in my back yard (0.17 acre) that I usually mow weekly with an electric push mower. There's an in-ground trampoline and a couple of small trees. My front yard is separated from the back by a fence (on one side of the house) and a gravel RV pad with a gate (on the other side). I have no immediate plans to try to get the Landroid to mow the front. I had been contemplating this purchase for a while, so I spent plenty of time thinking about where I'd install the charging base and how I would route the perimeter wire. I determined the best location would be under my back porch steps, which would satisfy the recommendations in the manual (shady, away from sprinklers, close to an outlet, etc). The main downside was having to crouch under there to install it. It's mostly loose dirt, and I have noticed the Landroid's wheels slip a bit, but nothing too serious. - Setup/Install I followed the instructions for laying the boundary wire to keep the mower off the trampoline, and figured it would be fine if the mower just bounced off the trees. Laying the boundary wire took me a couple of hours by myself. I ended up using ~450 ft of the included wire, and about 80% of the stakes. I used a rubber mallet to drive the stakes into the ground after my thumbs got sore from doing it by hand. I didn't clear the grass at all or bury the wire, just massaged the grass around it till it sunk in. This was a challenge because my grass is super thick. I didn't get it deep enough in a few spots, which led to problems later (see Troubleshooting/Operation below). Once the wire is in place, it's plug and play. The battery was 29% charged when I turned on the mower for the first time. I let it charge for a bit so I could take a break before sending it off for the first time. - Troubleshooting/Operation It's immensely gratifying to turn it on for the first time and just watch it go. The mower is slow! It moves about 1mph and cuts a path about 7-8 inches wide (for the math folks that's about 60 sq ft per minute). I followed the instructions to connect the unit to my WiFi using the app. That worked fine. The app is functional but a little clunky. Better than using the buttons on the Landroid, though. I appreciate that I get notifications whenever the mower needs help. My first major concern was to make sure the mower could make it back to base without any trouble. What good is a robot lawn mower if I have to come rescue it every night? On its first attempt to "go home", I quickly identified some trouble spots. I had used the included 10.2" guide to keep my wire the appropriate distance from my concrete patio, but the grass beside it is deep due to some unevenness in the ground. The mower got stuck after several attempts to push through. The main issue is that the bottom of the mower has a sort of comb that lifts/straightens the incoming grass before cutting it. This prevents the mower from moving forward in thick grass, especially if you have a divot or hole or weird slope in the ground beneath. In the end, I moved the wire a few inches away from the patio so the mower wouldn't have to fight through that every time. I mentioned earlier that I didn't get the wire as deep as I should have in some places. More than once, the front wheel of the mower has rolled over the wire, caught on it, and pulled it up (likely when the mower was reversing or turning), resulting in an error ("outside perimeter wire"). Each time this happened, I added another stake to keep the wire nice and low. Once, the front wheel sunk into a deep spot enough for the blade to cut the wire (I got a notification: "error: missing wire"). This was annoying, but the provided wire joiners (2) don't require you to strip the wire, which is the most annoying part of repairing it. So it was a quick fix. I added another stake so it wouldn't happen there again. I have concrete curbing around two of my trees. I thought the Landroid would just bump into it and go on its merry way, but unfortunately there's enough slope that the mower rides up the curbing, gets high-centered, and throws an error ("mower lifted"). Instead of adjusting my boundary wire (which would have been a chore), I chose to surround my trees with some wire fencing that I had lying around. - Performance I don't how how its algorithm works, but the Landroid works very well at getting itself out of tight spots. My lawn has a number of uneven spots, tight corners, and random holes. It's fun to watch as the mower spins its wheels different ways and works itself out of them. WORX did a pretty good job with that. If all else fails, the mower will give up and send you a notification that it's trapped. The mower appears to mow in a straight line until it hits the wire (or an obstacle) then sets off again in a random direction. The pattern on the lawn starts to look like a bunch of crisscrossing contrails after a couple of sessions. It mows along the perimeter wire once or twice a week (depending on your settings) to minimize the amount of edging required. Since my grass goes all the way up next to my fence, it's impossible for the Landroid to cut all the way to the edge. The app automatically creates a schedule based on the lawn size you tell it. I told it to run every day, so it came up with a 15-minute run time per day. Considering the 60 sq ft per minute coverage, this amounts to the whole lawn getting mowed about once a week. I wanted smoother grass than that, so I doubled the time to 30 minutes daily. In my testing, I found that the mower can go 1.5-2 hours on a full charge before returning home (it goes back on its own when the battery is down to ~10%). - Safety/Maintenance I've only owned my Landroid for a few days, so I haven't done any maintenance on the unit itself. The blades are held on with screws and look very easy to replace (the box came with two extra sets of replacements). I have three young kids at home. I appreciate that the blades stop on their own when the mower is lifted, so I don't have to worry much about them getting hurt. - Overall I pushed a mower all over my back yard for four summers to earn this. It took a day to set it all up, and a couple more to work out the trouble spots in my yard. I'd say it's worth the price. For $1,000, I've bought back an hour on every Saturday morning for the next few summers. If it continues to work out, I'll start contemplating ways to get my Landroid working in the front yard, too. -- Edits: 3 months later -- A few things to point out: - My 15-minute run time per day was wildly insufficient for my lawn's growth rate. To get a "perfectly manicured" lawn, I had to bump up the daily run time to a couple of hours. When I had the time lower, I ended up with a few small, random patches that got missed. - The mower managed to cut the boundary wire a total of 4 times so far. It's annoying to fix, but highlights the downside of just laying the wire down on the grass without making any effort to bury it. At least trimming a tiny space with a string trimmer (turned sideways) would probably have prevented this. I also keep the mower on its second-to-lowest setting (2), which may make me more susceptible to this issue. - Occasionally, the mower gets stuck, but not enough to trigger a notification. It spins its wheels, making deep divots in the grass, and just goes and goes till the battery dies. - Occasionally, the mower drives over the boundary wire in just the wrong way and finds itself "outside" the boundary wire. I'll get a notification on my phone and have to come rescue it. - I have to rescue the mower at least once a week. That's annoying, for sure, but the amount of time spent rescuing is way less than the time I would spend mowing. And I don't get dirty and sweaty. - I still have to trim the edge with a string trimmer, since the mower can't get all the way up against the fence. I can usually get away with edging every other week, so I alternate edging the front and the back yards.

Mow your lawn while you drink a beer
Wow, this thing is cool! I remember the first time I saw a roomba in action and my mind was blown, this is the same feeling but for your yard. My friend owns on and I also saw a review of this product from Workshop Addict on Youtube and thought it was worth trying out since it would save me a ton of time and money in the long run if it works like everything else automated in my yard (ie irrigation). Set up was relatively easy (took me around 2 hours).. I would HIGHLY recommend watching videos online before starting, super helpful when paired with the instructions. It's been a little over a week now and it works super well. I like to sit out on my patio and watch it. People tend to walk by and see it and want to know what it's about. I have cameras in my front yard as well as a GPS unit on my Landroid so I feel pretty good about people not wanting to steal it, but it's definitely most ideal for a backyard if you live in an area where that would be a concern. I haven't set up the automatic scheduling on it because I like to just enjoy seeing it do it's thing while I drink a beer... but I am sure eventually I will set it up. It says in the instructions that it has an algorithm that programs itself with the most efficient mowing schedule for your lawn size. There were some minor things I would improve: - In the app if you are using WiFi you need to manually type in your user name and password and since mine is complex it was a little bit of a pain for what is a very, very sophisticated product and app. - Base model came with GPS add on which was generous, wish I had the Landroid Garage - Had to move the base/dock station because it was in the path of my sprinklers and got wet overnight, it appears to be working fine but it is weather-resistant and not waterproof. Overall, if you have a yard with a deck or patio the base/dock can sit under you will be good. Why I gave it 5-stars: - Relatively easy to set up (took me an a friend about 100 minutes to install (a little under 2 hours) - App was pretty intuitive and had a QR reader (your iphone camera is now a QR code reader if you didn't know) - Worx great (get it?) but seriously, my lawn is perfectly cut - It is super cool - It will save me about $2,500 in the next 2 years - Oh, and did I mention it's super cool?

Very disappointed in this product...
This was the second WORX Landroid I have bought. The first was for the back and this one was for the front. I went with the GPS model since it would be for the front yard. When I received it I immediately set it up in the front. It worked fine. I followed the instructions exactly and the last piece was setting up the GPS device. I plugged it in and started the activation. It hung. I gave it a day and then called support since I couldn't use the app since it was throwing a dialog error. Support said they activated it on their side and to give it 24 hours. After 2 days nothing happened, so I called back. The support guy said he needed to send a firmware update. He did that and the landroid bricked. He then had me send it in stating that it would be back in my hands in 7-10 business days. After 2 weeks and no landroid I called back in to get a status. The support guy said he would look and call me back. I got no response. I called back in the next week and got the same message. Finally I got an email response stating that they couldn't find my landroid and to describe the box I had sent it in. The email didn't have a responding email address so I called back in and described the box. I was told I would get an update. Nothing happened. After 2 more weeks of trying and threating to call the BBB ( they'd now had my mower for 2 months ) I finally got an email stating that they couldn't find my mower and that they would be sending me a new one. When I got my "New" one, it was not new at all. It was all scuffed up. The tires were well worn. I'd obviously gotten a used or demo model. Additionally they had not sent the GPS module. I complained about both, but all they did was send me a GPS module. I've now had the mower up and running for almost 2 months. It cuts the grass just fine, but it won't stay within the wire. Every morning that it cuts I have to go outside at least once and pull it out of the street. I've moved the wire back from the curb at least twice and now you could set the whole mower between the edge of the curb and the wire. Now it only occasionally goes outside the boundry. I'm guessing the sensor is bad. The worst part about the whole ordeal was the complete lack of communication. I understand that this has been a hard time for a lot of people, but that doesn't mean you can ignore people for months. When I looked at the BBB complaints, this wasn't even the first time. Now that their used mower is also having issues I have no desire to send it back in, at least not until after the season. I would not recommend this product to anyone right now. It's a buyer beware situation, however I will say that if you do purchase one and it has issues at all - Don't send it in, return it to Amazon if you're in the return period. So after a year, I'm changing my rating down to a 1*. With a robotic lawn robot, you want one that you don't have to mess with. This year I moved the wire back a few inches since the mower would continually go over the wire and fall into the street. So now I have about a foot of grass I still need to mow weekly. However the mower still gets stuck. It bypasses the wire and goes out into the driveway and then can't get back. There hasn't been a single day that I haven't had to restart it. I don't know if that is because of the fact that I got a refurbished one when I did the return, or if this is a general issue with the product. This will be my last purchase from WORX. Not because of the bad product, but because of the service I received from them.

Almost Perfect
Edit - December 2022. I had to rescue the mower about 20 times this year because it went over the boundary wire and threw an error. Not sure why as the boundary hasn't changed. I'm hoping someone decides to leave the 1970s and make a robot that doesn't require a wire. Despite that complaint I still got another year of virtually free mowing as the Landroid has long since paid for itself. Edit - December 2021 end of year update. Another great year of free lawn mowing service! The mower only got stuck once when it thought it went outside the boundary wire. My only cost was replacing blades a few times. No issues with mower or battery. Edit - November 2020 end of year update. The mower is put away for the winter. It was nearly perfect for the past seven months of operating nearly every day. It stopped mowing three times. Once when my stupid neighbor threw a coat hanger over the fence and the mower became trapped, and two times when it thought it went outside the boundary wire. I simply rescued it each time and returned to sitting on my ass. My only maintenance was changing the blades every 60 days; they were pretty much trashed by then. I found third party replacement blades here on Amazon so my maintenance cost was basically peanuts. The wire is long buried but there are tracks in the grass around the perimeter where the mower returns. I still wish it would mow in rows instead of the random pattern. Overall it was a great investment and performance for the first year and I am pleased to have it! I will update again next year. I've had the Landroid in the back yard for four weeks and so far so good. The wire was a pain to install. I had to use nearly all of the stakes, about one every 18 inches, due to uneven ground, and I was very sore the next day despite that it only took an hour to put the wire down in my 5000 sq ft yard. Here's a pro tip: prep the stakes before you start the job. The stakes must be popped out of their plastic moulding and it's easier to do inside before you start laying the wire. Here's another pro tip: tape a 12 inch ruler to your weed eater and adjust so you can use it as a 10 inch guide to make a path for the wire. You don't need to bury the wire, but you need to get it flat against the ground, and the weed eater really helps. Here's another pro tip: stake off 10 inches of wire in the corners so you can make adjustments later. This came in really handy when I had to adjust a few corners to keep the Landroid from bumping into things when it returned to base. At first I was worried about the Landroid getting stuck in my yard which has a 12 degree slope. So far my Landroid has had no issues. It's never been stuck, gone outside the boundary wire, had a missing boundary wire, or any other issue not caused by me picking up the mower. I'm running the Landroid daily at 3PM for 1 hour 15 mins at the max cutting height which usually leaves the battery at 63% charge. It's so quiet I can barely even hear it when I'm beside it. When it cuts a blade of grass, it kind of sounds like a dot matrix printer. Here are four reasons why it doesn't earn a five star review: First why are we still stuck in the 1970s with a robot that follows a wire? Since it must follow the wire to go home, there will always be tracks in the grass near the base where it's heavily traveled. Second, the cutting disc, which uses razor blades, is only 7 inches which means the mower makes a lot of passes and has a tendency to plow the uncut grass. The mower is 15 inches wide, so it would be nice to have a 12 inch mulching blade. Third, why not have the ability to mow in rows instead of the random pattern? This would probably reduce mowing time and increase the cut quality especially if it performed a criss-cross pattern. Even if the rows are not perfect, it wouldn't be any worse than it is now. Fourth, the app is very good but you only get updates from the mower every 15 mins. I'm assuming that's to conserve battery power. If there's a warning, e.g. "mower lifted", you cannot start the mower until the next update. I would like to see an update every five mins. I've had a few times when the app has not received an update from the Landroid for hours but it's always come back the next day so I'm assuming that was due to server maintenance. TLDR: The Landroid isn't a perfect mower; you won't win a landscaping contest with it. It's a mower based on 1970s technology that mows in random patterns and misses parts of the yard everywhere. It's also one of the few auto mowers that will mow at the "proper" height of 3.5 inches. It's "cheap" compared to some of the other offerings costing thousands. It's powered by a $60 drill battery you can easily buy at your local depot, and the annual cost to replace the blades shouldn't be more than about $20. It's not perfection but I'm pleased to no longer be toiling away in the back yard!

Great mower for the price. You'll gain a ton of time back once it's set up and optomized.
TL;DR - Great for the price, the extras cost a lot and rack up but most of the extras are pretty useless. If you have a complex yard, expect to need some additional boundary wire (dog fence wire or telephone wire work fine) and pegs (fabric pins are cheaper than plastic pegs). So i've had this mower for a few months now and i'm loving it. It took a couple of hours to install the boundary wire and i've had to make quite a few adjustments to get it to cut just as well as i need, especially in corners. If you're setting this up, be sure to make the corners sharp and not rounded off because it's exactly how the mower will follow. I was worried it wouldn't get the sharp turns, but it actually does well with 90 degree turns. Definitely lay out all the wire first to know the path and be able to 1) make sure you have enough wire to finish and 2) make sure you don't miss any objects in your yard that you need to mark as a boundary. Also, be sure to do this when the ground is damp so that the pegs go in smoothly. Don't force them in or they'll likely break. Finally, if you want to trench the wire, be 100% sure the mower covers all the areas you need, because it'll be a pain to pull it all back up. Similarly with laying the wire initially; be sure to throw in some extra loops to allow for adjustments every 10-20 yards or so. A little will go a long way. Pros: I haven't had to cut my lawn since i installed it (aside from weed eating along edges) The guide cardboard for measurement are perfect for getting the right distances. It does well at keeping weeds mostly under control, but they'll grow horizontally if they go unchecked. The same with grass. (you'll still have to edge your yard where it grows up.) Mostly easy to install, but very time consuming. The latest software update is great! Party mode isn't intuitive, but it allows you to send the landroid home while guests may be over. It comes with inexpensive blades and is overall very easy to maintain. Splicing is super easy with the included hardware (although 2 isn't enough unless you lay out he wire properly the first time). I've seen complaints about the landroid cutting the wire, but as long as you make sure the wire is close to the ground on the entire perimeter, you won't have any issues. Cons: Instructions are lacking, look up videos to install. There wasn't enough ground wire or pegs. You can get extra wire and fabric pegs from home improvement stores much cheaper than worx. The pegs are very cheap and break on the first hard piece of ground it finds. Hammer them in slowly to make sure you don't hit anything hard. For some reason, hitting the home button on the app seems to throw a "wire missing" error once the landroid docks. Hitting it on the physical unit or letting it finish up by itself seems to work flawlessly, though. The hard stops aren't all that smart and tends to push the same direction when it gets in a tight spot and just pushes harder to try to overcome the obstacle sometimes, which in turn causes the wheels to dig into the yard. When installing, it doesn't tell you to keep the wire straight a few feet where the landroid will come home. this is essential so it doesn't crash into the dock corner. The home screw pegs can be difficult to install. Metal pegs would've been much better. The landroid doesn't like low-lying gutter guards and may get stuck on them if they're not low enough. The auto-schedule can be a pain, so keep an eye on what it actually schedules. Mine initially tried to run 12 hours a day for some reason. Buy the home garage to protect your investment!!

Perfect combination of functionality and sleek design
I absolutely love my WORX Landriod M! The Landroid is reliable, a time saver and is a must for anyone looking to automate routine lawn care. As a new homeowner fencing in the back yard for our dogs was a high priority. Shortly after I invested in a variety of WORX tools including a lawnmower, hydroshot, trimmer and blower. While these tools are exactly what I needed to perfectly manicure my lawn, I soon sought another option to handle my back yard duties. This led me to purchase the WORX Landroid and this was the perfect solution for me. It really was as easy as setting the boundary wire and charging base, following the easy prompts and directions to connect your Landroid to WIFI and downloading the APP to control scheduling and receive updates. No longer do I worry about setting time aside during the weekend for mowing. I simply set the app and schedule the Landroid to work when I want it to. Currently I have my schedule set to three days a week and my back yard stays at a consistent height and always looks nice. The app is very easy to use and I get updates throughout the day if there are any complications or rain delays. The Landroid is smart enough to charge itself at its base, pause work during rain and navigate obstacles and uneven terrain. I also like that the charging base is small and that the Landroid is very quiet while it is working. I would recommend the Landroid to anyone seeking to minimize mowing time, but does not want to fully delegate lawn care to a landscaping company. The Landroid provides that consistent well kept look which is perfect for those who are busy working or traveling. With the combination of functionality and sleek design it’s hard not to love!

16 month update
Review update 16 months later: My landroid ownership had been generally positive for most for the last 16 months. However, "Mowses MaHomes" started crossing the boundary wire on a regular basis in the last few days. Not sure if a software update happened or if my sensor is not working properly, but all of a sudden, it's getting stuck many times per hour. It's become unusable. Original review: Just received my Landroid yesterday. Installation was easy. There are a couple places where I will make small adjustments to my boundary wire, but it went pretty smoothly and took about 2 hours. My neighborhood doesn't have sidewalks, so I'm expecting only very minor weed-whacking will be required. One issue is that it took Amazon 3 weeks to deliver my mower (probably due to covid-19), but my warranty date is my purchase date, not the date I received it (3 week difference). Also, I bought a Worx weed whacker with (2) 20V 4.0Ah batteries. I paid extra for that model so that the batteries would be compatible with my Landroid's battery. Unfortunately, the model number of the battery is slightly different on my weed whacker (WA3578) as compared to the Landroid's (WA3578-3). I'm not sure if the batteries are completely interchangable or not. One month later... I'm really liking this thing. It keeps the lawn looking beautiful and besides occasionally cleaning/sharpening/replacing blades (which is very easy), there is very little maintenance required. I only have to do 10 minutes of edging every one or two weeks. "Mowses" has become a very popular topic of discussion with everyone that walks by. I'm changing my 4 stars to 5.

The Full "Scoop"
OK, I've waited a while to be able to give an "Accurate Review" of this Item. So Sit Back and I'll explain "almost everything" you may want to know before you decide to Purchase (or not). 01) I received the LanDroid in a Very Timely Manner. It's my 1st "Automatic Mower" and I can tell you... The "Learning Curve" was Extensive. It took me almost a week - in the Southern Summer Heat - to Figure it all out. 02) Finally after Initially getting it Working Reasonably Enough, I had an Issue that their Customer Service (which Actually answers the Phone in American English) said was a "Bug" in the "New and Improved" Model (which I had received) that was only released to the Market about 5 Months Prior. To their Benefit, they Quickly sent me out a Replacement Unit. 03) The Unit comes by "Default" of 3-1/2 Hours "Mow Time" - which the Original Unit did Accomplish. However, the "Updated Unit" only would mow a Maximum of 2-1/2 Hours. Their Customer Service determined I had a "Defective Battery" and Quickly sent me out a Replacement Battery. Unfortunately, the "New Battery" also does not Achieve more than 2-1/2 Hours Mow Time. The Unit comes by "Default" set to the "Medium Cut Height". I use it on the "Highest Cut Height". The Unit itself does not Raise or Lower like a Regular Lawn Mower. Only the "Cutting Assembly" does. "I Believe" this is my "Cut Time Issue". Due to the Highest Cut Setting, the "Increased Drag" as it goes through the Grass is "Probably" what is causing my "Cutting Time Issue". Fortunately, I have a Small Yard and it does not Require a Longer Cut Time. 03) To use the WiFi Setup on the Mower - and the App - you "MUST Have" DHCP (a Dynamic Assigned Network Address) Assigned to your WiFi Router. I am a "Security Freak" and only use "Static Addresses" on my Network for Security Purposes. So... I've had to Manufacture a "Temporary Router" that I can Initiate if/when I want to Connect the App - and subsequently - the Unit to the Internet for any possible Firmware Updates. 04) While on the Issue of Security... If you use/store the LanDroid in an Area you're afraid someone might Steal It, then the GPS (I guess) is a Beneficial Feature. Fortunately - Due to my Secure Perimeter, I don't have this Issue. With this said... The Unit is "Made in China" - which in itself is neither Good nor Bad under the Circumstances, but... All Data via the GPS - as well as the App - and the Unit - is sent to Servers in China. This of course, provides the Chinese with your Yard Dimensions and your Unit Usage Patterns (and maybe other Data). I'm certain many of you don't care about this, but... Did I mention I'm a Security Freak? So "I" don't use the GPS Unit. As a "Side Note"... Customer Service told me that the GPS assists the Unit in doing a Better Job with Mowing the Yard. Whether this is True (or Not) - or just a Ploy to get you to send your Data to China - I can't say. But I can say that I've Personally Tested "Data Server Destination" and am Confident of where the Data Ultimately Ends Up. 05) The LanDroid spends a LOT of Time on the "Right Border" of my Yard. And "ESPECIALLY" on the Lower Right Corner. This (of course) takes away from the Time it Spends on the Rest of the Yard. Again... Fortunately, I have a Small Yard. But the "Reduced Cut Time" via the Battery - and - it Wasting so much time in One General Area - I don't know how Effective it would be if I had a Slightly Larger Yard. 06) The LanDroid has a Working USB Port under the Back Cover that I've just Recently found a Use for. And yes... I started Using it "After" the 2-1/2 Hour "Cut Time" Analysis - and - the Use is "Non-Evasive" and has a "Minuscule Impact" (if at all) on the Battery overall. The problem with the USB Port is... If it is Used for even a "Short Period of Time", the Control Display Screen will "Go Blank". And the only way to Restore the Control Display Screen is to Completely "Power Down" the Unit - and then Power it Back Up. As a "Side Note"... Even the Control Display Screen "Blanks Out", the "Scheduled Cut Time" still works Properly. 07) I have the LanDroid mow my yard 7 Days a Week. Same Time, Same Schedule, etc... However... One or Two Days a Week, the LanDroid will Go Past the Border Wire - and only Once (sometimes Twice) and when this Happens - you have to Pick it up, Move it back into the Border Wire Area and "Restart" it. This, in itself, is not necessarily a problem except... If I don't Watch it during it's "Full" Programmed Time - or - Check on it Regularly while it's Mowing - then it will Turn itself off and just "Sit There". As a "Side Note"... "I Believe" it will add to the Programmed "Cut Time" to Accommodate any Applicable "Down Time". However, I'm not 100% Certain of this - and - this might be an Issue if you want the LanDroid to Stop at a Specific Time - and still mow your Entire Yard. Just a FYI. "My" Pros: 01) I was having to Manually Mow my Yard twice (sometimes 3 Times) a week. I don't mind saying "I don't miss doing it anymore". :-) 02) The LanDroid Customer Service actually "Answers the Phone" - and - in Good 'Ol American English. And under "Hardware Issues" (i.e. Defective Unit and Battery), they have been Pleasantly Responsive. Cons: 01) I don't like having to "Monitor" my LanDroid - Day in and Day Out - 7 Days a Week - During its "Full" Session - simply to make certain it doesn't decide to "Jump the Border" once in a "Blue Moon". 02) I don't like the Time it Spends in One (1) Given Area as it Takes Away from the Overall Cutting Effectiveness. 03) I don't like that the Control Panel will "Blank Out" if I use the USB Port. 04) I don't like that the App - and the Unit - sends my Data to China. Of course, this includes the Data from the GPS Module as well. But again... If you're worried about someone Stealing your LanDroid - you're kinda "Stuck like Chuck". <sigh> 05) I don't like that I can't get any Response via the Provable "Programming Issues" (i.e. Border Jumping, Inordinate Amount of Time in One Given Area and Control Panel "Blanking out" when the USB Port is Used). Conclusion: Would I Consider Purchasing the LanDroid if I knew all this Prior to my Purchase? Due to my Internal Network Security Abilities... Unless the Programming Issues were Resolved, then "No". Otherwise - "Yes". Would I Consider Recommending the LanDroid to a "Friend"? If they would Fix the Programming Issues, I would consider Recommending the LanDroid to others that don't care about their Data being sent to Chinese Servers - Even with the Reduced Cutting Time because my Yard is Small Enough this is only a Minor Issue - for now. Am I "Happy" with my LanDroid Purchase? Yes and No. My "Biggest Issue" is the Lack of "Programming Support". User Support and "Hardware Support" has been (so far) Exemplary. But if the Darn Thing doesn't "Work as it's Supposed to" (which it doesn't) - then the Best Customer Support "almost" becomes a "Moot Point" in the Overall Scheme. I realize this was Rather "Lengthy", but Hopefully this helps Answers any "Pre-Purchase" Questions/Concerns you may have.

Great hardware, terrible app
Mower is excellent. App is abhorrently terrible. Worx should be ashamed. Bad Worx. Bad.

WORX-LANDROID - TONDEUSE
c'est le bonheur - beaucoup d'ajustements et précisions mais lorsque le tout est fait - le tout se fait seul - bien sur - c est un appareil donc vigilance votre responsabilité de toujours y voir pour son bon fonctionnement --
