Introduction to Eufy’s Robot Mowers
Anker’s lifestyle brand, Eufy, has made a significant impact on the robot vacuum market and is now expanding its reach to your yard with its first two robot mowers, the E15 and E18. These innovative machines are designed to automate the tedious task of lawn mowing, providing a convenient and efficient solution for homeowners. After testing the E15 for several weeks, I am impressed with its performance and features.

Advanced Navigation Technology
Early robot mowers relied on boundary wires to navigate, but Eufy’s E15 and E18 utilize computer vision technology, dubbed "visual full self-driving" (vFSD), to trim your lawn with ease. This approach offers several benefits, including more reliable mowing and improved obstacle avoidance. The use of cameras over GPS enables the mower to better understand its surroundings and make adjustments accordingly.

Key Features and Specifications
The E15 is capable of covering lawns up to 800 square meters, while the E18 can handle larger areas of up to 1,200 square meters. Both models feature a 4,200mAh battery, adjustable cutting height, and a combined GPS/4G anti-theft system. The garage, which serves as the mower’s charging station, comes with a rain cover, providing added protection and convenience. The hardware is also rated IPX6, making it resistant to water and allowing for easy cleaning with a hose.

Setup and Operation
Setting up the E15 is a straightforward process, requiring only a few simple steps. The mower must be placed in its garage, connected to power, and linked to your home’s Wi-Fi network. After a few mapping runs, the E15 will have a clear understanding of your lawn’s layout, allowing it to navigate and mow with ease. The app provides a range of features, including scheduling, cutting height adjustment, and movement speed control.

Real-World Testing and Observations
During my testing, I was impressed with the E15’s ability to navigate my lawn, which features a hill, sunken pathway, and a 1.5-meter drop. Although the mower’s computer vision system required some babysitting during the mapping process, it ultimately proved capable of handling the complex terrain. The E15’s quiet operation was also a notable feature, making it suitable for early morning or late evening mowing sessions.

Additional Features and Benefits
The E15 offers a range of features that make it an attractive option for homeowners. The ability to set a cutting direction for stripes is a unique feature that allows for a more manicured appearance. The remote control mode also provides added convenience, enabling you to access the camera feed and trigger on-screen controls to navigate the mower out of tricky spots.

Conclusion and Availability
Overall, I am impressed with the Eufy E15 and its capabilities. While there are some limitations to the technology, the benefits of convenience, efficiency, and ease of use make it an attractive option for homeowners.
