Treated ourselves to the Mova ViAX 300 robotic lawn mower the other week and so far enjoying the experience.

The Mova ViAX 300 is boundary wire free mower and sits about mid range in terms of cost and functionality and online reviews are positive.

Mova ViAX 300 – First Impressions After a Few Weeks

I’ve had the ViAX 300 for a few weeks now, so thought I’d post a few thoughts in case anyone else is looking at one.

The main selling point for me was not having to install a boundary wire. Setup was pretty straightforward through the app and once the lawn was mapped, it was ready to go.

So far it’s been doing a really good job. Because it cuts little and often, the lawn always looks tidy rather than getting that “just been mowed” look once a week. It’s also a lot quieter than I expected, so I don’t really notice it working.

Navigation has impressed me too. It copes well with plant pots, furniture and other bits left in the garden. My patio chairs get moved around quite a bit and it hasn’t seemed bothered by that.

I was also a bit concerned about putting the charging dock on the patio instead of the grass, but it’s been absolutely fine. It leaves the dock, finds the lawn and returns to charge without any issues and avoids obstacles such as our dog regularly.

The app I do like as it does everything I need. Scheduling is simple, you can see what the mower is doing and changing settings only takes a few taps and you can actually watch the mower cut grass via its onboard HD camera as it can live stream.

The app, which was the 2nd main selling point for me, allows you to set no-go zones and choose the cut pattern for your lawn, I particularly like the straight parallel lines option.

Overall, I’m really happy with it given its price point. It’s saved me a lot of time, the lawn always looks presentable and, so far, it’s been one of those gadgets that actually lives up to expectations.

Only downside is that it leaves a 10-15cm cutting edge due to position of the robot mowers cutters, luckily we have a small garden with a couple of trees, 5 minuites with a grass strimmer every other week is not an issue for me.
