"Roborock is headed outdoors. The company best known for its robot vacuum cleaners (including the recent viral one with a mechanical arm that picks up small objects) has unveiled its first robot lawnmower. In an announcement today, the company revealed three new robotic lawnmowers -- the RockMow Z1, RockMow S1, and RockNeo Q1. Each model specializes in different situations."
"Roborock advertises the Z1 as the rugged premium model, capable of cutting 54,000 square feet a day (for reference, a football field is 57,600 feet) and handling nearly 40 degree slopes. Every wheel has its own steering motor, and its design enables it to get within 1.2 inches of walls."
"The mid-level RockMow S1 doesn't have all-wheel drive, can cut about 10,000 square feet a day, and handles about half the slope -- it still has AI mapping though. The RockNeo Q1 is the most affordable model, as it gives up edge cutting (you can buy an additional attachment) and requires you to adjust your cut height manually."
Roborock introduced three robotic lawnmowers: the RockMow Z1, RockMow S1, and RockNeo Q1, each aimed at different lawn sizes and terrains. The Z1 is the premium rugged model able to cut up to 54,000 square feet per day, tackle nearly 40-degree slopes, and steer each wheel independently to come within 1.2 inches of walls. The S1 is a mid-level unit that cuts about 10,000 square feet daily, lacks all-wheel drive, and handles roughly half the slope while retaining AI mapping. The RockNeo Q1 is the budget option, forgoing edge cutting and requiring manual height adjustment. A companion app can create mowing patterns and suggest schedules by lawn zone. Pricing and release timing have not been released; related vacuums are slated to appear in Europe in the coming months, suggesting mowers may arrive overseas before the U.S.
