About

Robot Mower HQ exists to cut through the noise in the robot mower market. With dozens of brands, wildly different navigation technologies, and prices ranging from a few hundred pounds to several thousand, choosing the right model can be overwhelming — especially when most of the information out there is either vague marketing copy or a single unboxing video.

We focus specifically on the UK market: UK pricing, UK retailers, UK garden sizes and shapes, and the realities of UK weather and lawn types. Every guide, comparison, and review on this site is built around one goal — helping you find a robot mower that will actually work for your specific garden, not just the garden in the brand’s marketing photos..

Our Approach

We research thoroughly before we recommend anything. That means digging into manufacturer specifications, comparing real owner reviews and forum discussions, watching how models perform across different terrain and boundary types, and tracking how brands evolve their ranges year on year. Where our knowledge comes from research rather than direct hands-on testing, that will always be made clear within the relevant guide or review, so you know exactly what you’re reading.

We’re not interested in pushing whichever product pays the highest commission. Our recommendations are built around fit for your situation — lawn size, slope, boundary complexity, and budget — not which brand shouted loudest.

About Us

Robot Mower HQ is run by James, who brings two relevant strands of experience to this site. A background in tech means a genuine interest in how these machines actually work — the navigation systems, the app ecosystems, the difference between boundary wire and GPS-based or vision-based mowing — rather than just taking a spec sheet at face value. Time spent running a small business in the horticultural sector adds a practical understanding of plants, lawns, and the realities of garden maintenance that a purely tech-focused reviewer might miss.

That combination is also personal. Our own lawn is anything but straightforward — multiple slopes, awkward boundaries, and the kind of layout that makes a lot of “just mow in straight lines” marketing claims look a little optimistic. If a robot mower can’t handle a garden like ours, we want to know about it, and we want you to know about it too before you spend your money.
