WORX Cramped weighted wheels WA0955 Review
📝 Introduction
As a seasoned contractor with over 15 years of experience in garden maintenance across Staffordshire, I was keen to test the WORX Cramped weighted wheels WA0955, designed as an accessory for the Landroid Plus robot lawnmower models WR147E.1, 148E, 153E, and 155E. My first impression was that these weighted wheels seemed like a thoughtful addition, particularly for lawns that struggle with traction or need better aeration. This accessory is ideal for homeowners with medium to large gardens—up to 1,500 square metres—looking to improve their Landroid's performance. The wheels promise enhanced grip and soil aeration, two aspects that can significantly impact the quality of your lawn care.
⚡ Performance & Cutting Quality
During testing, I found that the weighted wheels significantly improved the Landroid's cutting performance, especially on denser grass types like perennial ryegrass and fescue, common in the damp conditions of Staffordshire. The robot navigated the terrain more effectively, dealing with obstacles such as garden furniture and uneven patches with improved stability. Its slope capability is commendable, handling inclines up to 35% with ease, thanks to the enhanced grip provided by the wheels.
🔧 Features & Technology
The Landroid series comes equipped with a host of smart features, including app control, which I found straightforward to use. Via the app, I scheduled mowing times and adjusted settings without hassle. Though not equipped with AI or GPS navigation, the robot's in-built sensors did a decent job of managing its path and avoiding obstacles.
📄 Setup & Daily Use
The installation of the wheels was straightforward, requiring minimal tools and taking just under an hour. Setting up the Landroid itself involves laying a boundary wire, which, while time-consuming, is a one-off task. Programming and scheduling are user-friendly, and once set, the mower requires little intervention.
📄 Value & Comparison
Priced at £99.99, the weighted wheels are a reasonable investment for improving the Landroid’s performance. When considering the running costs, which are minimal due to its electric operation, the long-term savings on labour and time are considerable. Compared to other models like the Bosch Indego, the WORX Landroid, with these wheels, offers better terrain handling and edge cutting. Overall, it provides significant value, especially for those with challenging garden layouts.
