TerraMow V600 review: A robot mower that delivers excellent bang-for-your-buck

I’m sure there are folks who love pushing the mower up and down, up and down, but for those of us less thrilled by the prospect of cutting the lawn, a robot lawnmower is a tempting proposition. So when the TerraMow V600 arrived at my house, I was excited to see what it could do – especially as it costs considerably more than my traditional mower.

While you might not have come across TerraMow before, the team behind it originally worked at drone company DJI, and they spent three years developing and prototyping the first TerraMow products before launching on Kickstarter in 2024.

The V Series is the firm’s latest robotic mower lineup, introduced in the second half of 2025 and featuring the upgraded TerraVision 2.0 Navigation System. This new AI-powered system is more advanced than its predecessor, with improved object recognition, richer lawn mapping and more accurate positioning thanks to its ability to capture greater environmental detail.

After spending time testing it, you’ll find my full thoughts below on whether one of the range's best models is actually worth the upgrade.

Price and availability

The TerraMow V600 price is £899 ($1,199) and it’s available directly from Terramow's website in the UK and US – although at time of writing it’s currently out of stock in the US.

If you have a particularly large area you need cut, you’ll want to check out the TerraMow V1000 at £1,099 ($1,399), which has the same features as the V600, but boasts a larger mowing area of up to 1200m².

Unboxing and set up

The V600 arrives smartly packaged, ensuring the mower and its base station are protected in transit, but also easy to remove from the box. I liked the double-sided, A3-sized quick start guide providing clear visuals on how to get the base station setup, the V600 docked and charged, and the app required to control the mower’s functionality.

It stops short of in-depth explanations and detail though, including what’s required to get your lawn mapped for the first time. For deeper information you need to turn to the rather intimidating 100+ page manual which also gets included in the box. It is at least well written, with clear guidance, and there’s a fair chunk dedicated to troubleshooting and safety disclaimers.

The base station has a long power lead, which means placement doesn’t need to be right near your external power outlet, which is fortunate for me as otherwise it would be blocking my gate. The power block is a little chunky though, so might not fit smaller outdoor waterproof socket enclosures.

The station comes with a roof too, which slides on the base and is secured with four screws. The screws have a hand twist design, but I found I needed the force of a screwdriver to get them to engage properly.

Once the base station is plugged in and you’ve placed the TerraMow V600 inside, ensuring it engages with the charging pins, you can complete setup on your phone using the TerraMow app.

It’s a straightforward offering with a simple guide to get you connected to the mower, and the mower to the internet. From there I was prompted to download a firmware update before I was able to do anything, which took about 20 minutes. Once updated I could then set the mower off to map my garden, which it did with great efficiency, accurately plotting my 113m² lawn in 17 minutes.

The TerraVision 2.0 Triple-Camera AI Vision System works impressively well, with the V600 instantly recognising it was on the patio to begin with, holding off mapping until it reached the grass. It expertly navigated along flower beds, fences, and round a tree without issue, with no need for guide wires or GPS.

Design and features

The TerraMow V600 is a fetching looking thing, with a cutesy robot ‘face’ design plus a useful carry handle. At 11.8kg, it’s also not too heavy to move about manually.

The base station is more of a muted affair with its black finish, and while the canopy is a good size, covering the entire mower, it does block the controls and LED lights on top. That means you have to bend over to see the charge level or press go – although the battery can be checked, and the mower controlled, from the smartphone app.

The V600 can mow an area up to 600m², which means it might lose Wi-Fi connection when it’s away from your router. TerraMow has a solution though, as there’s a SIM card included in the mower and you get free cellular data, allowing you to communicate with the robot from your phone even when it’s out of Wi-Fi range.

An interesting inclusion on the bottom of the mower is a slot for you to slide in an AirTag (you’ll have to buy one, it’s not included in the box) to provide additional tracking capabilities if the V600 is stolen.

Underneath, you’ll find a single spinning disc with three razor blades attached to it. I was pleased to see an additional six blades included in the box, giving you two full refreshes once the current set of blades wear out.

The disc provides a 203mm (8 inch) cutting width, which isn’t the widest on the market, but is more than adequate for the job. You can also adjust the cutting height via the app to between 25mm and 75mm (1-3 inches).

There’s IPX6 protection which keeps things safe during rainfall, and from hoses and sprinkler systems, while a rain sensor on top of the TerraMow V600 will tell the mower to return to base if precipitation starts to fall during a cutting routine.

It can also handle slopes with a maximum incline of up to 32.5% (18°), and TerraMow claims the V600 can operate in temperatures between 0°C and 50°C.

A fun inclusion is the live camera feature, allowing me to view a video stream from the camera on the front of the V600. For those with bigger plots, it’s a useful addition to check on how the mower is getting on, especially if it might have appeared to stop or get stuck. You can even turn on an LED light, to improve visibility in low light.

In terms of run time, you’re looking at between 80-120m² (depending on lawn complexity) per hour, with a full charge allowing for 130-250m² of lawn to be cut before the V600 needs to return to its base station to charge. A full recharge takes around 100 minutes.

App

The free TerraMow app (available on Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store) is well designed, with a simple guide to get you connected to the mower, and the mower to your Wi-Fi.

You get a nice visualisation of your lawn once mapping is complete, and I was able to add no-go zones and grass-cutting zones, to finesse where I wanted the mower to go. There’s the option to add multiple lawns too, if you have a large property with several areas which need cutting.

There’s even a scheduling tool, allowing you to set frequent cuts without you having to remember to set the bot off.

You can fine tune how the TerraMow V600 cuts from the app as well. This includes adjustable cutting height, edge cutting distance, speed, spacing, and disc rotation. You can also set the mowing direction depending on how you want the stripes left by the wheels to look.

Performance

The TerraMow V600 performed well during my weeks of testing, making it a robot mower worth considering. However, before you get going, you need to make sure your grass is 9cm or shorter, otherwise the V600 will have issues, and you should remove various toys, leaves, debris and obstacles from your lawn before it sets off to ensure the best mowing performance.

On the underside of the mower is a single cutting disc, with three razor blades mounted to it, and while I was sceptical at first just how well the blades would do, they performed well. TerraMow recommends replacing the blades every one to two months to ensure safety and maintain optimal mowing performance.

For the first cut I sent the V600 out on, I set the cutting height to 50mm with a 1cm edge, as I didn’t want to risk the robot taking a tumble into my flower beds. After 80 minutes I received a notification on my phone to say the V600 was returning to base station after completing a mow of 107.3m².

Now that’s not quite the entirety of my lawn (the V600 measured it at 113m²), but it wasn’t able to get right to the edges next to the fences and some of the flower beds where plants were hanging over the grass.

That’s a minor point, as the cut itself was clean and my lawn looked better for it. This robot doesn’t come with a hopper to collect the clippings, with the loose pieces of grass left on the lawn. This isn’t a problem, as the grass length wasn’t long to start with, so the fine trimmings faded away after a few days.

Just under a week later I returned for the second cut, and adjusted the cutting height to 35mm via the app. The V600 dutifully lowered its height to accommodate the new setting, and set out once again. This time it needed to return to the base station to recharge part-way through, but once it had topped up it set off to finish the job.

And subsequent cuts went just as smoothly, with the V600 expertly navigating round the tree in the middle of my lawn. It did clip a plant pot on my patio near its base station a couple of times, but I purposefully left it there to see just how manoeuvrable the mower is. It was only a light brush, and not something I’m concerned about.

It's quiet too, at just 54dB when mowing making it nowhere near as loud as a traditional mower. It meant my cats were comfortable being outside while the V600 trundled round the garden.

While I was impressed with the overall cut, the V600 suffers the same issue as many robot mowers, and that’s their inability to get right up to the edge of the lawn when it meets a fence, wall, or other obstruction.

You’ll find a dedicated ‘Edge’ mode in the app, which sets the V600 off to do three laps around the edge of your lawn. I set the edge cutting distance to 6cm, allowing the bot to overhang the lawn boundary by the set amount. While this mode did improve the cut on the edges which bordered my patio, it physically wasn’t able to get right up against the fences.

After its three laps, it remembered to take a spin round the tree in the garden to reduce the long grass there too. It did improve things, but you’ll still need to invest in a strimmer to ensure neat edges all the way round.

Verdict

The TerraMow V600 is a fantastic all-round robot lawnmower, which gets the job without fuss or complicated setup. For anyone with a lawn over 100m² (and up to 600m²), the V600 is possibly the best bang-for-buck mower in its class.

Pricer models can deliver a more precise cut (and is some cases, cover an even larger areas, including TerraMow’s own V1000 model) and feature more advanced mapping tools such as LiDAR and satellite connectivity – but unless you’re after a very specific requirement, the V600 will fit the bill for most.

Of course, its price tag is still a significant amount to drop on a robot lawnmower, as the V600 finds itself priced at the lower of the top-end of the market. For those who have smaller lawns, with a simple layout, a cheaper robot mower might well deliver a similar quality cut for less of an outlay. Yet, for those after a feature-packed, hassle-free robot lawnmower, the TerraMow V600 is a worthy contender.

Alternatives to consider

There are plenty of competitors to the TerraMow V600, with the Sunseeker Elite X4 offering a similar array of features, with the added bonus of a LiDAR which can produce a 3D map of your garden for greater accuracy.

If you have a vast area that your mower needs to cover, the GPS-powered Husqvarna Automower 405XE NERA can provide pin-point location mapping (provided it has a clear view of the sky) even when it’s nowhere near home.

For more rugged environments, the four-wheel drive Mammotion LUBA mini 2 AWD 1000 can traverse more challenging lawns and has the memory to remember up to 10 layouts, allowing you to share it with friends and family. However, if you're after the Rolls-Royce of the robot lawnmower world, and have the budget to match, you can’t go wrong with the Mammotion LUBA 2 AWD.
