The Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e) in Review: Dense Lawn Everywhere You Look!

Dense, even lawn with the Worx Landroid M700 Plus – We tested it.

The Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e) brings new momentum to garden work and thus relieves its users. The robotic lawn mower features a variety of functions that bring several clear advantages compared to similar mowing robots.

Particularly important in our test were the mowing performance, area coverage, control, cleaning, and navigation, which we will discuss in detail in the report below. We show the pros and cons of the M700 Plus and answer the question of how our garden looked after several months of using the M700 Plus.

To the point: What are the key strengths of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e)?

• The Worx Landroid has a Cut-to-Edge function, i.e., an edge mowing function, with which it can mow closer to edges and thus saves users from trimming in the edge area.

• The Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR 167e) features a floating cutting deck, which enables it to leave an accurate grass cut even on uneven surfaces. The blades are sharpened on both ends and rotate counterclockwise to cut the grass evenly and gently.

• The mowing robot passes through relatively narrow passages effortlessly without having to use a guide wire.

• Thanks to the IPX5 classification, the M700 Plus can be effortlessly sprayed and cleaned with a hose

• The M700 Plus can be controlled both remotely and up close directly on the device. This gives you control over the device at all times.

Technical Data for the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e)

Pros and Cons at a Glance

During testing of the mowing robot, both pros and cons became apparent. These can be summarized as follows:

Dimensions and Design

The dimensions of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e) are average: The device has a depth of 58 centimeters, a height of 20.8 centimeters and a width of 40.3 centimeters. It also has a weight of 9.8 kilos and can therefore be easily stored in any tool shed. Visually, we liked the orange-colored housing. This makes the mowing robot easily recognizable even in tall grass. The wheels and control panel are provided with a black color tone and thus stand in clear contrast to the eye-catching housing. We found the modern design of the Landroid M700 Plus particularly appealing overall in our test.

Navigation and Cutting Pattern

The AIATM (Artificial Intelligence Algorithm) navigation technology of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e) is responsible for the automatic planning of individual operations during mowing. Due to the intelligent navigation technology, efficient and fast operation of the mowing robot can be guaranteed. Devices that work without these technologies generally proceed noticeably more uncoordinated and thus less efficiently. In the test, the Worx Landroid also managed to navigate through narrower passages and include them in its work.

For gardens divided into multiple areas, the Worx Landroid offers multi-zone processing. This means that up to 4 zones can be defined, which the robot then covers separately. To define the zones, you let the device cover the respective zone once and then save it in the app. In the test, the function worked very well and all zones were reliably processed.

Overall, the Worx Landroid M700 Plus proceeded somewhat coordinated and worked comprehensively, so the navigation was satisfactory for us. In the test, we used the WR167e with ACS collision sensor, which helps the device avoid obstacles, especially when there are many toys around.

Cutting Pattern

As you can already see in the pictures above, the Landroid M700 Plus did excellent work throughout the summer. Thanks to the mulching function, which uses the grass clippings directly as a kind of "fertilizer," our lawn grew very dense and quite evenly. The floating cutting deck is also very reliable on uneven surfaces and left no bare spots in our, albeit very level, garden. I couldn't have done it much better with a conventional lawn mower.

Manual Setting for Edge Cutting

The edge cutting is particularly practical, as cutting in the edge area is executed so precisely by only a few mowing robots. This often makes elaborate follow-up work with an edge trimmer necessary.

Control of the Mowing Robot

An important aspect in our test of the Worx Landroid WR167e was the control. Compared to its predecessor, the M700 has the possibility to be controlled via Bluetooth in addition to WLAN connectivity ([url="https://www.produck.de/quack/4511/worx-landroid-m700-vs-m700-plus—unterschiede–vergleich-2023",name="to the detailed comparison",title=""]). This eliminates previous problem points, such as poor Wi-Fi coverage in the garden or problems in the cloud service, so that app control has become more seamless. The Worx Landroid app is required to operate the robot, which is available for both Android and iOS.

Functions that you can find in the app include:

• Connecting accessories (ACS, Radiolink etc.)
• Connection settings
• Start/Stop, return to base
• Start lawn edge cutting
• Party mode
• Rain delay
• Lawn area calculator
• Multi-zone configuration
• Set schedules
• Connection settings
• Lock device
• Configuration with fertilizer, soil type, irrigation
• Statistics and activity log
• Updates
• Support

After our test, we can say that the mowing robot can be easily and conveniently controlled near and far via app. The app is initially very clear and visually appealing. Explanations can be found in various places that introduce you to the functions.

Alternative: Control Panel

Control via the control panel using buttons and a rotary wheel is also very user-friendly. The design appears visually very minimalistic, but offers all important functions, which can be selected via the digital display. The display is simple and functional and helps with symbols to find the right option. In this way, schedules or device lock can be set (see picture).

In addition to manual control of the mowing robot, there is a four-stage cutting height adjustment, which can thus be implemented quickly and easily. The numbers indicate the cutting height in millimeters. A large "STOP" button ensures immediate shutdown of the device in an emergency.

Control using the app and via the control panel caused us no problems and can usually be carried out without special technical knowledge.

Using WiFi and USB, the software of the WR167e can be updated at regular intervals. In this way, your mowing robot always stays up to date.

Programming Mowing Schedules

The mowing robot offers the possibility to create an individual schedule. This can be set either automatically or manually. In this way, your lawn is mowed at regular intervals and at the best possible time. All schedules also take charging times into account.

Automatic Programming of the Schedule

With the Landroid M700 Plus, the lawn can be cut either according to manual or automatic schedule. Here we were positively impressed by the programming of the automatic mowing schedule: The local conditions, the condition of the lawn as well as the weather are included in the mowing process using artificial intelligence, which is quite convenient.

Furthermore, the Landroid M700 Plus convinced us with the so-called "Save the Hedgehogs function". This prevents mowing in the evening and night hours. The animals are especially active at dusk and could be injured by the use of the mowing robot. This function is by no means standard with other manufacturers and represents an important purchase criterion from my point of view. Nevertheless, the Worx Landroid has a somewhat higher injury risk for animals with the edge mowing function than mowing robots without this function have. Those who house many animals in the garden should therefore reconsider the unsupervised use of the M700 Plus.

Manual Setting of the Mowing Schedule

When creating a manual mowing schedule, your own intelligence is required. In this way, a personally defined plan for lawn mowing can be created. In our test, we selected the day of the week as well as the time of day. According to our findings, the mowing robot reliably keeps to the specified times. This allows you to adapt the schedule to your needs without concern.

Set Mowing Times Twice Per Day

Using the double mowing schedule, it is possible to set two mowing times per day. In our opinion, this type of schedule should not be selected every day, as the lawn should only be mowed every four to seven days.

One-time Mowing Schedule for the Landroid M700 Plus

There is of course also the possibility to create a one-time mowing schedule. Using this option, you can use the mowing robot for a specific period. After that, the previously set schedule is resumed.

Special Mode of the Landroid M700 Plus

If you want to use your garden all day without being disturbed by your mowing robot, you can simply pause the schedule. To do this, switch on the so-called Party mode, which is basically a kind of quiet mode. When the mowing schedule should continue as usual, you must deactivate the mode.

The various settings significantly facilitate the use of the WR167e. The possibility to program a double schedule, however, seems somewhat superfluous to us, as multiple lawn mowing per day is usually not necessary.

Area Performance and Battery Life of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e)

The Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e) is perfectly suited for a lawn area of 700m². It normally manages this area in around 120 minutes.

For this, the Landroid M700 Plus has a quite high battery life. It has a 4Ah PowerShare battery and can therefore be used for a longer period of time. Usually, use for about 120 minutes at a stretch is possible without further ado. The runtime is in the middle range of current Landroid models. Those who need more performance should take a closer look at the [url="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0913HV2SS?tag=produck-21",name="L800 or L1000 (147E.1)",title=""].

When the battery is running low, the WR167e returns to the charging station independently. The mowing robot's battery is fully recharged again after approximately 75 minutes.

The mowing robot can overcome a slope angle of 35 percent. However, one should consider that the simple wheels can easily slip and one should therefore consider additional accessories, e.g., spikes for this demanding terrain.

Noise Level Under Scrutiny

In our test of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e), we also checked the noise level during operation. At about 60dB, the mowing robot is not among the quietest devices on the market. Here a [url="https://www.produck.de/quack/4566/gardena-sileno-minimo-vs-city—alle-unterschiede-im-ueberblick",name="Gardena Sileno City",title=""] might be the better choice. The robot is thus louder than some comparable devices. You should definitely consider the noise level before purchase, as it can become a disruptive factor for you or your neighbors in the evening and night hours. However, it must be said in favor of the M700 Plus that it has already become quieter than its predecessor M700.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning the mowing robot is user-friendly and can be done with just a few simple steps. Regular cleaning of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e) is sensible to extend the device's lifespan. (In our test, we were admittedly somewhat negligent.)

Before cleaning, the device should definitely be switched off and the battery removed. Cleaning and polishing agents must not be used, as these can cause irreparable damage in the worst case.

Thanks to the IPX5 classification, i.e., protection against water jets, the WR167e can be quickly and easily cleaned with the garden hose. This is an extremely practical innovation compared to its predecessor, which had to be cleaned by hand, a real added value.

Furthermore, care should be taken that the blades of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e) remain permanently sharp so as not to impair the function. Since both cutting edges are used, the blades need to be changed significantly less often.

The test showed that the blades need to be replaced on average after about two months to continue achieving satisfactory mowing results. Chipped or dull blades should be changed as quickly as possible. An occasional look under the hood is therefore sensible.

• Off-Limits

Conclusion on the Test of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e)

In the test of the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e), we were able to get an accurate picture of the practical mowing robot and determine its pros and cons. By and large, the mowing robot is an extremely powerful device that makes garden work many times easier. It mows precisely, is easy to control, and quick to clean.

The Landroid M700 Plus is currently available from a price of about 750 euros. This puts it in the good mid-range and offers a good price-performance ratio from our perspective.

Furthermore, the possibility of schedule creation is particularly helpful. This is possible both manually and automatically. The desired settings can be set easily and within a few minutes. Due to the Bluetooth connectivity, the mowing robot can be controlled via smartphone even when the WLAN signal is not sufficient.

As a limitation, the noise level of the mowing robot can be mentioned. At 60 decibels, the mowing robot generates a relatively high noise level, which can disturb the peace in your own garden.

To maintain boundaries or block off areas in an open garden, it is also necessary to tension the boundary wires in advance. Purely digital restricted zones, as known from vacuum robots, unfortunately do not exist. This requires somewhat increased time investment.

If you want to find your lawn perfectly mowed at all times, the Worx Landroid M700 Plus (WR167e) is a real recommendation. As a consequence of our test, the device is now also permanently in use for us. Nothing stands in the way of a carefully mowed lawn.
