Now ready for order: the E15 and E18 robot lawnmowers from Eufy

The two robot lawnmowers trim your lawn without GPS or other navigation aids. Depending on the model, they are suitable for lawns of up to 1200 square metres.
If you want your lawn to look neat and tidy, you need to mow it regularly. Why not let a robot lawnmower do this tiring and unpopular job for you? The brand Eufy has launched the E15/E18, a robot that is designed to reliably keep wild growth in check - without boundary wires or RTK posts.
The E15 is the right model for your lawn.
The E15 is the right model for lawns of up to 800 square metres. The E18, on the other hand, can manage up to 1200 square metres. Otherwise, there is no difference between the two models.
Note: Currently, many people seem to have wild growth in their garden. The robots are therefore quickly sold out when we receive smaller contingents. You can still order it: according to my colleague in goods management, a larger delivery will arrive in our warehouse around 22 July and the device will then be sent to you immediately.
Mapping with camera and AI
The E15/E18 maps your garden without you having to make any preparations. It maps your garden in a similar way to a robot vacuum cleaner: without GPS or other navigation aids. Instead, it uses its stereo camera, which gives it «spatial vision».
After starting up, the robot independently begins to explore your garden and create a map. With the help of an AI algorithm, the robot recognises your lawn as well as obstacles or animals, which it should reliably avoid, according to the manufacturer. My colleague Lorenz has already written a first hands-on report on the automatic mapping. A comprehensive test will follow shortly.
No continuous data connection required
For the initial setup, Wi-Fi is required at the base station. After that, the robot does its job even without the internet. However, if you want to control it manually or use its live streaming, you can't do without it: you either need good Wi-Fi coverage in your garden or let it use a mobile data plan via eSIM.
The base station does not have to be located on the lawn. To be able to reach the mowing area anyway, you can define a path to it in the app. You can also set up such a connecting path so that the robot can reach separate lawn areas via paths or flat beds. It is currently not possible to divide a single lawn area into several zones. However, you can define exclusion zones and virtual boundaries in the app.
Mowing right up to the edge - under certain circumstances
Most robot lawnmowers leave grass at the edges of the lawn as they cannot reach the unruly blades due to their design. The E15/E18 also gets to grips with the edges as long as it can roll over them. If your lawn is bordered by stones that cannot be driven over or other boundaries, the robot is unfortunately powerless.
Its cutting width is around 20 centimetres. The cutting height can be set between 25 and 75 millimetres. The E15/E18 can cope with a maximum slope of 18 degrees (40 per cent). In the event of rain or darkness, it interrupts its work and then continues where it left off. You can set the sensitivity of the rain sensor in the app.
The manufacturer promises that the robot can mow for up to 120 minutes on a single charge. Recharging the battery at the base station should take 90 to 110 minutes.
