Wire-Free LiDAR Robot Mower with 55% Discount, No RTK Antenna

Introducing the Keenmow K1 robotic mower

The Keenmow K1 is a new player in the ever expanding market of wireless robotic lawn mowers. Launched recently on Kickstarter, early backers can grab a unit starting at $899 (€766). This deal offers a significant 55% off what will be the actual retail price of $1,999. However, potential supporters should be aware that crowdfunding projects may come with some risks like delays or changes.

Delivery and Navigation Tech

Shipments are targeted for May of 2026, making it a future-ready gadget. Unlike traditional models, the K1 don’t need a perimeter wire or RTK antenna, thanks to its advanced LiDAR navigation technology, which is trending among similar gadgets from brands like Ecovacs, Navimow, Dreame, and Roborock.

Features and Capabilities

This laser-based tech is combined with 'AI Vision Fusion', which makes use of a 150° RGB camera to help detect obstacles. Besides, it has a front LED light so you can mow in the dark if needed—though it’s generally advised not to as it protects animals like hedgehogs. It can smoothly pass through narrow areas as tight as 80 centimeters and climb slopes of up to 50%, or roughly 27 degrees.

• Adjustable cutting height from 20 to 70 mm
• Battery capacity of 105 Wh, giving roughly 120 minutes of work before recharge
