Though summer is winding down, lawn maintenance season is ramping up. Between fertilizing and overseeding, mowing can seem like an extra task. That’s where robot lawn mowers come in. There are some pros and cons to consider when it comes to upgrading to one of these fancy mowers, but former CNET editor Chris Wedel had zero regrets in his own investment in one of these nifty robot models, noting that after two years his robot lawn mower “is still worth every penny.” And right now, you can shave a whopping $900 off Eufy’s new E15 and $1,000 off the E18 model at Amazon with this generous deal.
That drops the price you’ll pay for the E15 to $1,400, down from $2,300. The E18 comes in at just $1,600, compared to the regular price of $2,600. While these mowers are still a hefty investment, this deal can’t be beat as these are record low prices for each of these machines. These are both the latest models from Eufy, debuting earlier this year. Just note, it’s a limited time deal so it could disappear at any moment.

These Eufy models can be controlled by an app, have hands-free auto mapping that can learn multiple areas of your yard and come with precise obstacle-avoiding tech to take on even complex garden setups — and you won’t need to install a perimeter wire, either. These models are also both considered pet-friendly, operate at a low 56-decibel volume and can handle slopes up to 18 degrees. And for the grass itself, you can set the cutting height anywhere between 1 and 3 inches, depending on your preference.
You can also set up mowing schedules, no-go zones for areas that may cause your mower to get stuck and more. Plus, with a built-in anti-theft system and GPS tracking, you should be able to cut down on the possibility of theft so that you can multitask while your robot mower handles the grass. And there’s even a smart automatic recall feature so that if your mower detects rain or low-light conditions, it will return to the charging station.
Reviewer Adam Doud called the Eufy E15 the best robot lawn mower for ease of use. “It’s easy to love the Eufy E15 mower because, within 20 minutes of taking it out of the box, it was already mapping out my lawn,” he writes. “Less than an hour later, it was mowing, and it finished its first pass almost flawlessly.”
The main difference between the E15 and E18, other than cost, is the amount of lawn they can handle. The E15 is recommended for 0.2-acre spaces, while the E18 can handle up to 0.3-acre yards.

Why this deal matters
These robot mowers launched in April of this year, and while they still aren’t exactly cheap, you likely won’t find a deal like this again. Saving as much as $1,000 on new tech from a brand like Eufy, which has a solid reputation, is almost unheard of. But this is marked as a limited-time deal on Amazon, so there’s no telling how long it will last.
