If you asked me a week ago about home tech on CES 2025 I am most concerned, the new robot mowers should not have entered the top five. But with the launch of the Lymow One, a mower that sports treads (tank wheels) and mulching blades, it’s now my main target to haul home for a pre-spring test.
You see, raking is an outdoor chore I can’t handle and a robot handling it for me is just what the lazy homeowner orders – or preorderedI should have said.
The first robot mower that mulches leaves
Mulched leaves can be added to a compost pile or simply left on the lawn to add nutrients to the grass.
While we haven’t tested it yet, we’re told the Lymow One ($1,999) is the first robot mower capable of mulching leaves, sticks, fallen fruit and other debris. It also tracks treads — think tank wheels — to navigate bumpy and rocky terrain and even roll straight over some obstacles like small steps.

A Lymow rep told CNET that the mulching blades, a carryover from the previous lateral scissor blades, are powerful enough to cut grass and mulch debris like leaves, fruit, pine cones and small twigs. or dry conditions. The same high-speed spinning mulching blades combined with a centrifugal fan ensure a good distribution of the clippings without any clumping, a constant nuisance for robomowers and push mowers both.
Tank style wheels allow it to cross any terrain
In addition to its mulching blades, the Lymow One relies on superior traction, called the Savage Traverse System, along with tank-like wheels to glide over rough, uneven terrain. According to the brand rep, the One can clear obstacles up to 2 inches high, traverse slopes up to 45 degrees and even climb low stairs. It also works fast, covering up to 1.73 hectares a day.
The Lymow One’s tank-like wheels allow it to handle even the rockiest terrain.
Advanced navigation without manual boundaries
The One has boundary-wire-free navigation, meaning it can find your yard without the need for manual boundaries, and LySee Navigation combines RTK satellite positioning and VSLAM for accurate area mapping.
According to the company, the latest Lymow robot mower has the most advanced obstacle detection and avoidance in its class for hours of obstacle-free mowing: “Lymow is faster, cuts better and smarter than any current robotic mower with the ability to recognize and adapt its behavior when encountering different options.”
the Lymow One is now available for preorder for $1,999. Orders are scheduled to ship in April, just in time for mowing the lawn.
