Should you buy a robot lawn mower with no boundary wire? My verdict after months of testing


Eufy's initial robot lawn mower offers a straightforward setup by eliminating the need for a boundary wire and antenna. It's currently available on Amazon with a $900 discount.

But what impressed me the most is that this mower does away with the requirements for boundary wire and antennas, instead relying on a combination of advanced sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to navigate your yard. My backyard is fenced in, but there is a lot of uneven terrain, a couple of poorly defined garden beds, and a steep hill that leads to a wooded area at the back.
