‘It saves a lot of time and effort. I no longer have to think about mowing every week which is a big win’
With the UK basking in a spring heatwave, shoppers have been singing the praises of an ‘idiot-proof’ robot lawnmower that ‘saves so much effort’ in the garden. This particular model is on sale at Yimbly, where there’s more than £50 off the Mova Viax 300 Robotic Lawnmower.
The gadget is already reduced from £519 to £479 at Yimbly, owned by this site’s parent company Reach PLC, but shoppers can reduce this even further to £431.10 when they use the discount code SPRING10. This equates to a total saving of £87.90 compared to the usual price.
It also undercuts Amazon, where the same model still costs £479. Designed for gardens up to 300m2, the Mova Viax 300 uses AI to map a garden and mow independently with a u‑shape cutting pattern ensuring efficient and full‑coverage.
This is said to leave grass evenly trimmed with ‘minimal’ effort while on‑boundary edge cutting can deliver precise results along borders and fences. The wireless mower uses AI technology to detect and avoid obstacles around the garden such as plants and pets and has the power to climb slopes up to 40% incline.
It can also move over obstacles up to 4cm high and navigate narrow spaces thanks to its compact design. The Mova Viax 300 can be controlled through a smartphone app that allows users to set mowing schedules and zones from anywhere.

Yimbly customers can knock £87.90 off the Mova Viax 300 when they use the discount code SPRING10.
It’s also said to be ‘whisper quiet’ and boasts several safety measures including live video enabling users to monitor their garden in real time. Elsewhere, shoppers can get £50 off the Flymo Easilife Go 250 Cordless Robotic Lawnmower at B&Q.
Reduced from £499 to £449, this model is more suited to smaller gardens up to 250m2, but holds a mixed review score of 3.6-stars. As for the Mova Viax 300 Robotic Lawnmower, this model has yet to receive any reviews at Yimbly, but Amazon customers have awarded it a 4.2-star rating.
One says: “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 says: “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 buyer noted a potential downside, adding: “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.
Nevertheless, another Mova Viax 300 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.”
While this buyer said: “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.”
