The WORX Landroid WR165 is the most accessible robot lawn mower in Canada — it handles lawns up to 1/8 acre, uses a boundary wire system to stay in your yard, and operates quietly enough to run while your family is outside. The AIA navigation system handles complex yard shapes without missing spots, and it returns to its base to charge automatically.
“"Day 3 I'm sold so far. I'm watching (not hearing) my lawn get mowed outside my office. Setup of the boundary wire was as expected — it's tedious but not rocket science."”

Boundary wire installation is required — no wire-free GPS option at this price tier
Unlike Segway Navimow and Mammotion LUBA, the Landroid WR165 requires a perimeter boundary wire; installation on a complex yard with garden beds and obstacles takes several hours and must be redone if the wire is damaged.

The WR165's rated capacity limits it to small yards; buyers with medium-sized Canadian lots frequently find the mower doesn't cover the full lawn before needing to return to dock; larger lots need a higher-capacity model.

Worx Landroid's companion app has documented connectivity issues; scheduled mowing runs occasionally fail to start without manual intervention; r/roboticmowers threads document the reliability gap vs. Husqvarna's more mature platform.

If you have a compact backyard and don't want to spend $2,000 on a Husqvarna, the WORX Landroid delivers the core automated mowing experience at an accessible price. Expect to manage more edge trimming than with premium models.
