This robotic lawnmower unveiled at CES moves like a tank and has mulching blades
As a homeowner with an average sized yard, I was in the market for a robotic lawnmower. Also, I was waiting for progress in a hit category to build up, as it often does in the early stages of a new(ish) home tech category, before splurging. This is to make sure I am getting the best possible value for the many dollars I will have to spend.
A new robot launched in CES 2025it looks as adept at cutting and navigating as the best, but it has two special features that set it apart from the rest. Lymow One is the first robotic lawnmower that can mulch. It also has chain steps – brain wheels – for navigating rough terrain and even rolling right over certain obstacles, such as small steps.

I’m sorry for long, hard outdoor activities like hoeing and fertilizing, and this new mower will mitigate or possibly eliminate both in one fell swoop.
The Lymow One ($2,999), which was unveiled at the huge tech trade show in Las Vegas, has dual mulching blades – a first for a robomower – and is capable of macerating fallen leaves, branches and tree fruit and transforming them into instant lawn fuel . This, combined with the most comprehensive satnav system and tracked steps that can traverse large and complex yards, is enough to make me order one in time for summer.
A Lymow representative told CNET that the mulching blades, a change from the previous side scissor blades, are tough enough to cut grass and mulch debris like leaves, fruit, pine cones and small branches in wet or dry conditions. The same high-speed rotating mulching blades, combined with a centrifugal fan, ensure a fine distribution of hairs without any lumps, often a nuisance for robo-maids and push mowers similar.
In addition to the 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 representative, the One can overcome obstacles up to 2 inches high, traverse slopes up to 45 degrees and even climb low stairs. It also works quickly, covering up to 1.73 acres in a day.
Lymow One’s tank-like wheels allow it to tackle even the rockiest terrain.
The One features boundary-free navigation, meaning it will find its way around your yard without the need for manual boundaries, and LySee navigation combines with RTK satellite positioning and VSLAM for precise area mapping.
According to the company, the latest Lymow robotic lawnmower has the most advanced obstacle detection and avoidance in its class for hours of obstacle-free mowing: “Lymow is faster, cuts finer and is smarter than any current robotic lawnmower with the ability to distinguish and adapts its behavior when faced with different options.”
The Limov one is available now for pre-order for $2,999. Orders should be delivered in April, just in time for lawn mowing season.
