Theft protection, rain and 4G on a robot mower
Updated
A robot mower sits outside on its own, so theft and weather matter. Some picks name an alarm or GPS tracking on the listing. Some need an add-on module for 4G tracking. Some makers give an IP rating for water. Here is what we could confirm, and what we could not.
What each pick names
| Mower | Theft features named | 4G or cellular | Water |
|---|---|---|---|
| Husqvarna Automower 410iQ | Anti-theft alarm and GPS tracking in the app, per the listing | Not clear from the listing we read. Check Husqvarna's page for your area | Mows rain or shine and is hose-washable, per Husqvarna |
| Mammotion LUBA mini 2 AWD 1500H | Location uploads and real-time tracking, even in low-power standby, per the listing | Mammotion's own store lists a built-in 4G module with a set period of free service | Not stated in the part we read |
| Segway Navimow i105N | Locate the mower if stolen, with the optional Access+ module | 4G and anti-theft need the Access+ 4G module, bought separately | IP66, per the Navimow page |
| ECOVACS GOAT A2000 LiDAR PRO | Not named on the listing we read | Not named | IPX6, per the ECOVACS page |
| WORX Landroid Vision Cloud WR320 | Not named on the listing we read | Listing says cloud RTK has no added cloud costs | Not stated in the part we read |
| Gardena SILENO City | Not named on the listing we read | Bluetooth only, per the listing | Mows rain or shine, per the listing |
"Not named" means the listing we read did not mention it. It does not prove the feature is missing. Check the maker's page for your exact model.
Subscriptions and add-ons
Cellular tracking needs a data connection, and someone pays for it. Ask three questions before you buy:
- Is the 4G module built in, included, or an add-on?
- How long is the data service included, and what happens after that?
- Which features stop working without it? Often it is remote tracking and control away from home Wi-Fi, not mowing.
We do not list prices here. They change, and the terms change with them. Read the current terms on the maker's page.
What IP66 and IPX6 mean
The second digit is water protection. A 6 means the shell resists strong jets of water. It says the case keeps water out. It does not say the mower should cut soaking wet grass. Wet clippings clump, wheels slip on slopes, and ruts form in soft ground. Many owners schedule around rain, even when the mower can handle it.
Simple theft steps that cost nothing
- Turn on any PIN or alarm the app offers.
- Keep the charging station out of view from the street if you can.
- Write down the serial number and register the mower with the maker.
- Photograph the mower and its label for your records.
