Our verdict
Worx Landroid is the budget alternative to Husqvarna Automower — cheaper hardware, weaker software, but the PowerShare battery family is a real asset for existing Worx tool owners. For 500m² simple lawns, the M500 Plus is workable. Don't expect it to handle complex multi-zone gardens like a NERA 410 XE will.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Uses Worx PowerShare 20V battery (cross-tool compatible)
- AIA cut-pattern adapts to lawn shape
- Quieter than petrol equivalent (62 dB)
- Compact storage
Cons
- Reviews mixed — software stability varies by firmware version
- Boundary wire required (no satellite navigation)
- ACS anti-collision sensors are an extra-cost upgrade
- Worx app less polished than Husqvarna Automower

Buying second-hand
£230-380 used. Firmware version matters more than year — always update before buying decisions are made. Worx wheels are the cheap part (£12 each) and easily replaced. The PowerShare battery slot fits other Worx 20V batteries from your hedge trimmer, which is a genuine perk over Husqvarna proprietary battery design.
