Author Joanna Maciejewska once said, “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.” She’s right – leave the art to Ghibli and have the AI mow my lawn for god’s sake! I’d choose an AI accountant or lawn-mower a hundred times over an AI artist or poet – so you can anticipate my satisfaction with companies like Lymow actually putting AI to good use with their autonomous lawn mower. This sleek machine embodies exactly what we should be asking of our technology – to handle mundane tasks we’d rather avoid. Let’s be honest, nobody wakes up on a Saturday morning excited to push a noisy, gas-guzzling contraption around their yard for hours. The Lymow One exists to give you that time back, handling the lawn while you handle… well, literally anything else you’d prefer to be doing.
Now with over $5 million funded on Kickstarter (making it the No.1 robotic mower on the platform), Lymow highlighted its flagship mower at CES 2025, highlighting its unique mulching blades, which cut grass in a way that doesn’t leave clumps across your lawn. Instead, mulching benefits your lawn by giving it a layer of organic matter that naturally returns nutrients back to the soil, keeping it nourished. Hardly any robotic lawn mowers do this as effectively (with dual-blades and a high-speed fan to distribute the clippings) – which is what puts Lymow One ahead of the pack, coupled with its other game-changing features like its incredible battery that gives it 5x more coverage than other mowers, or the AI vision-assisted RTK satellite navigation system, or even the treaded tires that allow it to traverse across any terrain with ease.

The Lymow One’s robust metal-enclosure aesthetic feels very ‘age of the robots’ but not in a scary way – in a way that empowers humans. The mower sports a predominantly monochrome exterior with black accents and bright red details that highlight its cutting mechanisms. However, the one detail that you’ll probably notice first is the absence of traditional wheels.
Instead of regular wheels, the Lymow One goes for almost military-esque tank treads that definitely bestow an air of seriousness to the robot. The Lymow One uses those rugged, tank-like wheels to navigate rough, uneven terrain with ease. A pair of omnidirectional wheels on the front allow the mower to stay in sync with the terrain for highly consistent cutting. A brand representative claims it can clear obstacles up to 2 inches (50mm) high, handle slopes as steep as 45° (100% gradient), and even climb low steps. It’s also impressively efficient, capable of covering up to 1.73 acres (7000 m²) in a single day.
The Lymow One’s mulching capability really gives it a superior edge over other robot mowers. The LyCut dual blades don’t simply cut grass and discard it—they finely mulch clippings and distribute them evenly across your lawn with the help of two high-speed expel fans built into the cutting deck. This natural fertilization process returns valuable nutrients to your soil, promoting healthier grass growth while eliminating the need for bagging and disposal. The 6000 RPM powerful rotary blades effortlessly tackle all types of grass, including St. Augustine, Zoysia, Tall Fescue, and more—no matter how tough or dense the grass is.
Technically speaking, this mower is a powerhouse. It features a 528Wh super longevity LiFePO4 battery (15,000 mAh at 36V) that delivers impressive performance, covering approximately 25,000 square feet (2,300 m²) on a single charge. When the battery runs low, the Lymow One automatically returns to its charging dock, powers up in just 90 minutes to 90% capacity, and continues where it left off. The mower’s cutting system uses dual mulching blades spinning at 6,000 RPM with a 16-inch (405mm) cutting width that can be adjusted between heights of 1.2 to 4 inches (30-100mm), giving you precise control over your lawn’s appearance. You can even customize the stripe angle to achieve the perfect look for your lawn.
Unlike older robotic mowers that require you to install boundary wires around your yard (a tedious weekend project in itself), the Lymow One uses its proprietary LySee Multi-Fusion Navigation System to help it create detailed maps of your property with centimeter-level precision and navigate with astonishing accuracy. By combining VSLAM with RTK satellite positioning, the navigation system ensures mowing stays uninterrupted even if there’s a temporary disruption from weather or obstacles. The mower combines this AI-powered binocular camera setup with input from five ultrasonic sensors, front bumpers, and off-ground detection mechanisms to detect obstacles, adjust for terrain changes, and optimize cutting patterns.
The companion app allows you to establish virtual boundaries, schedule mowing sessions, monitor progress in real-time, and even create custom zones with different cutting heights and stripe angles. Want your front yard cut to a pristine 1.5 inches but prefer the backyard a bit longer at 2.5 inches? A few taps in the app and it’s done. The software also provides maintenance reminders and updates itself automatically to improve performance over time.
GPS tracking means you’ll always know where your mower is located. The Lymow One includes an anti-theft system that detects motion and triggers an alarm if someone attempts to move it without authorization. Additionally, the machine is PIN-protected through the app, rendering it useless if stolen.
The Lymow One carries an IPX6 rating, meaning it can handle rainy conditions without issue. The mower is smart enough to return to its dock during heavy downpours and resume once conditions improve.
The Lymow One represents what consumer technology should be – tools that handle tedious tasks so we can focus on what matters. While AI might be writing articles elsewhere, I’d much rather have it cutting my grass, giving me back those precious weekend hours for literally anything else. Heck, the enterprising Gujarati boy I am, I’d probably get it to mow my neighborhood’s lawn too and make some extra cash on the side. The point I’m making is that AI should work for you rather than the other way around – and with the Lymow One, it certainly does.
