Lymow One Plus Review: Best Robot with Real Blades

If you are tired of robotic mowers that use tiny, fragile razor blades that snap on a twig, the Lymow One Plus is going to be a breath of fresh air. I’ve been testing this unit on some thick grass, and I wanted to break down exactly how this “tank” on tracks handles the heavy lifting.

The Cutting System: Real Rotary Blades

The standout feature of the Lymow One Plus is the LyCut 2.0 system. Unlike most robots that use “swing blades” (which look like utility knife blades), this machine uses dual rotary blades made of SK5 high-carbon tool steel.

• Blade Speed: These blades spin at a massive 6,000 RPM.

• The “Lift” Factor: The deck is designed with a cyclone airflow system. As the blades spin, they create a vacuum that actually lifts the grass blades upright before they are cut. This is why the cut look so even—it’s mimicking a high-end gas mower rather than just “clipping” the tops off.

• Mulching: Because of that high speed and airflow, it shreds clippings into a fine mulch that disappears back into the soil.

Tackling Thick and Overgrown Grass

Most robot mowers are “maintenance mowers”—they can only handle grass that is already short. The Lymow One Plus is a different beast. With a peak cutting power of 1,200W to 1,785W (depending on the motor load), it has the torque to push through dense turf like St. Augustine or thick spring growth without getting bogged down. If you have a lawn that’s gotten a little out of control, the Lymow doesn’t just stall; it powers through. It’s rated to handle growth up to 4 inches in a single pass.

Key Functions & Build Quality

• Floating Deck: The cutting deck is “floating,” meaning it moves up and down independently of the tracks. This prevents “scalping” when you go over a bump or a hill.

• Adjustable Height: You can set the cutting height from 1.2″ up to 4″ directly through the app.

• Automatic Deck Lift & Wash: One of the best “quality of life” features is the deck lift. The mower can raise the deck high enough to make cleaning the underside with a hose incredibly easy (it’s rated IPX6 waterproof).

• Track Drive: Instead of wheels, it uses tank-style tracks. This gives it the grip to climb 45-degree slopes where other mowers would just slide back down.

Performance Summary

The Lymow One Plus is built for the homeowner who has a “real” yard—not just a flat, perfectly manicured golf green. Between the 16-inch cutting width and the industrial SK5 blades, it’s one of the few robots on the market that can genuinely replace a high-end push or riding mower for cut quality.

Pros:

• Uses real, heavy-duty rotary blades (not tiny razor strips).

• Cyclone airflow lifts grass for a cleaner cut.

• Incredible torque for thick, dense grass types.

• Track system handles steep hills and wet terrain easily.

Cons:

• Heavier than most robots (about 78 lbs), so you won’t want to carry it around manually.

• The raw power means you need to be careful with perimeter mapping near delicate landscaping.
