Features and Technology
Built for gardens up to 300 square metres, the Mova Viax 300 uses AI technology to map your garden and mow autonomously. It employs a u-shaped cutting pattern to ensure thorough and efficient coverage, leaving your lawn evenly trimmed with minimal effort. On-boundary edge cutting delivers precise results along borders and fences. The cordless mower can detect and steer clear of obstacles such as plants and pets, and is capable of tackling slopes of up to 40 per cent incline. It can also navigate over obstacles up to 4 centimetres in height and manoeuvre through narrow spaces thanks to its compact build.
The mower can be operated via a smartphone app, allowing users to programme mowing schedules and zones from virtually anywhere. It is described as 'whisper quiet' and features safety functions, including live video that lets users keep an eye on their garden in real time.
Customer Reviews
Although the Mova Viax 300 has yet to receive reviews on Yimbly, Amazon customers have given it an impressive 4.2-star rating. One reviewer said: 'Amazing robot mower. It's whisper quiet you honestly can't hear it over the birds. Obviously it takes way longer than me but I really don't care. The lines are perfect and it doesn't miss a spot.'
Another added: 'Sit back and chill. The Mova Viax 300 is an absolute little legend. It was so easy to set up that even I managed it without swearing, sweating, or phoning a mate. It gets on with the job like a tiny, silent gardener who never asks for tea breaks. The scheduling works perfectly, the app is idiot-proof and the lawn looks great. I always thought robot lawnmowers were a total gimmick. Turns out I was spectacularly wrong.'
However, the same customer noted a potential drawback: 'My only complaint? I wish it cut a bit closer to the edge – but honestly, that's nitpicking. I'm not expecting it to trim the hedges and make me a sandwich.'
Another enthusiast said: 'This is a gift for my mother-in-law. She's never used a lawnmower before and she's really happy with what this machine can do. It saves her so much effort when cleaning her garden.'
One further purchaser commented: 'The biggest advantage is that there's no boundary wire needed – setup was much easier than I expected. The mapping works well in a simple garden layout and it keeps the lawn looking tidy with regular runs. It's not perfect though. It can occasionally miss small areas or struggle a bit around tighter corners, so I still need to do some quick touch-ups manually. Also, it works best if the grass isn't too long to begin with. That said, for day-to-day maintenance it saves a lot of time and effort. I no longer have to think about mowing every week, which is a big win.'
