AL-KO Robolinho 500 Vision Wire-Free Robotic Lawnmower

The AL-KO Robolinho® 500 Vision robotic lawn mower is built for homeowners who want automated mowing without the hassle of installing boundary wires. Using a camera-based system to detect lawn edges, it can be placed on the grass and set to work without groundworks or reference stations.

Designed for simpler, clearly defined lawns up to 500m², it maintains grass through regular mulching rather than collection. Quiet operation, automatic LED lighting, and app-based control make it a practical choice for tidy domestic gardens where ease of setup matters more than handling complex layouts.

What the Robolinho® 500 Vision Is Designed For

This robotic mower is built for homeowners who want hands-off mowing without committing to boundary wires, pegs, or installation work. It’s best suited to simple, clearly defined lawns where the grass edge contrasts cleanly with paths, borders, or hard landscaping.

If your garden is straightforward and you value quick setup over ultimate flexibility, this model fits well.

Wire-Free Mowing – What That Really Means

The Robolinho® 500 Vision uses a wide-angle camera to recognise lawn boundaries and obstacles. This removes the need for boundary wire, but it also means the mower relies on what it can visually detect.

It performs best when:

• Lawn edges are clearly defined
• Grass does not blend into borders
• Paths and driveways create visual contrast
• The lawn shape is uncomplicated

Messy edges, complex shapes, or frequent layout changes reduce accuracy and overall coverage.

Mowing Performance and Coverage

With a 20cm cutting width and a mulching-only system, the Robolinho® 500 Vision is designed for little-and-often mowing. It keeps lawns under control through regular trims rather than tackling long growth in one pass.

Parallel lane mowing can be used on flatter, straighter lawns with runs of up to 20 metres. In more varied spaces, random mowing mode can be selected to maintain even coverage.

Handling Slopes and Obstacles

The mower can handle gradients of up to 35% where traction allows. Built-in object detection helps it avoid fixed and movable obstacles, while the compact body makes it easy to work around furniture or garden features.

Coverage may reduce where slopes, obstacles, or narrow passages are frequent.

Battery, Noise and Day-to-Day Use

The 18V / 2.5Ah battery delivers quiet, emission-free operation at around 64 dB(A), making it suitable for residential areas. The battery is removable and compatible with AL-KO’s Series 1 Battery system, adding flexibility for owners already using AL-KO cordless tools.

Automatic LED lights activate in low visibility conditions, allowing the mower to work early or later in the day without intervention.

Smart Control and Zone Management

Using the AL-KO inTOUCH® app, mowing schedules can be adjusted remotely and automatically adapted to weather and predicted grass growth. Two mowing zones can be configured using the supplied zone markers, provided they are connected by a straight path.

This setup works well for split lawns separated by simple walkways, but it’s not designed for complex multi-zone gardens.

Where It Sits in the Robolinho® Range

The Robolinho® 500 Vision is the entry point to AL-KO’s Vision range. It prioritises installation ease and simplicity over adaptability. For larger or more complex gardens, stepping up to the Robolinho® 1000 Vision provides greater coverage and tolerance.

Pre-Sale Advice That Matters

Support After Installation

The Robolinho® 500 Vision is designed for simple setup, but if questions come up once it’s running, you have access to practical advice from a specialist retailer who understands the system, not just the app.
