Competitors beware: Roborock enters the lawn care market with its initial release of robot lawn mowers
Roborock, a leading brand in home robotics, has made a significant stride into the outdoor care market with the announcement of its first robot lawn mower collection. The new series, named RockMow and RockNeo, is designed to cater to small, medium, and large gardens, offering a range of models tailored to different lawn types, budgets, and requirements.
The collection consists of three models: RockMow Z1, RockMow S1, and RockNeo Q1. The RockMow Z1, designed for lawns with tricky slopes or unusual layouts, boasts impressive navigational capabilities. It can manoeuvre up to 80% slopes and obstacles of up to 6cm, and can cut as close as 3cm to walls and edges. Its compact size allows it to fit into narrow passages and awkward areas, making it an ideal choice for lawns with complex layouts.
The RockMow S1, on the other hand, is designed for medium gardens, and can cover up to 1000m2 in 12 hours. For smaller lawns and beginners, the RockNeo Q1 is a suitable option.
All the mowers in the series will connect to an app for easy controls and customization. The RockNeo Q1 also features a Wildlife-Friendly mode that prevents nighttime mowing to minimise disturbance to local wildlife.
The expected launch date for the new Roborock lawn mowers is early 2026, and the prices for the series have not been announced yet. However, they are anticipated to be available in the same timeframe.
The new series from Roborock represents its first foray into the outdoor care space. The RockMow Z1 uses RTK and VSLAM technologies for mapping and obstacle detection, ensuring precise and efficient mowing.
In conclusion, Roborock's new robot lawn mower series offers a solution for homeowners seeking a hassle-free, efficient, and customisable way to maintain their gardens. With its range of models, the series is set to cater to a wide variety of garden sizes, budgets, and needs. Stay tuned for more updates on the launch of these innovative lawn mowers.
