A new robotic lawnmower unveiled this week at CES 2025 is designed to do something no other robomower does — mulch.
The Lymow One ($3,000), unveiled at the mega tech tradeshow in Las Vegas, features satellite navigation, tracked treads to handle large and complex yards and dual mulching blades — the first ever in a robot mower — to macerate fallen leaves, branches and other pesky debris and turn it into lawn fuel.
A Lymow rep told CNET that the mulching blades, a shift from the previous lateral scissor blades, are strong enough to cut grass and mulch debris like leaves, fruit, pine cones and small branches in wet or dry conditions. The same high-speed spinning mulching blades coupled with a centrifugal fan ensure fine clipping distribution without any clumping – a frequent nuisance for robomowers and push mowers alike.

Beyond its mulching blades, a first-in-category feature, the Lymow One relies on superior traction, dubbed 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 in height, traverse slopes of up to 45 degrees and even climb low stairs. It also works fast, covering up to 1.73 acres in a single day.
The One features boundary-wire-free navigation, meaning it’ll find its way around your yard without a need for manual boundaries, and LySee Navigation combines with RTK satellite positioning and VSLAM for precise area mapping.
According to the release, the latest Lymow robot mower has the most advanced obstacle recognition and avoidance in class for hours of unobstructed mowing. “Lymow is faster, cuts finer and is smarter than any current robotic mowers with the ability to distinguish and adapt its behavior when encountering various options.”
The Lymow One is available now for preorder for $2,999. Orders are set to be delivered in April 2025, just in time for grass-cutting season.
