eufy C15 robot mower drops boundary wires for AI cameras — at under €900
Robot lawn mowers just got a little less fiddly. Anker's eufy C15 ditches the boundary wire setup that plagues most robotic mowers — and the pricey RTK antenna systems that replaced them — in favor of a camera-based AI navigation system called TrueVision. It launches in Europe on May 22, 2026, starting at €899, making it one of the more affordable wire-free options on the market. US availability has not been confirmed.
No wires, no antenna
Most budget robot mowers still require you to crawl around your garden hammering in boundary wire — or pay someone to do it. Higher-end models swap that for RTK GPS antennas, which need a clear view of the sky to work reliably. The C15 takes a different approach: a front-facing camera array maps the lawn and navigates in real time using onboard AI, much like a self-driving car in miniature. Setup reportedly takes around five minutes, with no manual zone mapping required.
The system, which eufy calls TrueVision, recognizes over 300 types of obstacles — including hedgehogs and small animals — according to the Eufy Europe page produit. That claim comes from eufy's own specs and has been repeated in reviews, though no independent lab verification has been published yet. One practical caveat: the camera can't operate after dark, so the mower won't run overnight.
The specs
The C15 handles lawns up to 500 m² (around 5,400 sq ft), cuts at heights between 20 mm and 60 mm, and manages slopes up to 32%. It runs at 58 dB — quiet enough for daytime use in most residential areas. A 180 mm cutting disc handles the main lawn, though the Notebookcheck C15 review flagged edge-cutting as a weakness, leaving 10–20 cm unmown near raised borders.

Availability and price
The C15 goes on sale across Europe on May 22, 2026, at €899 via eufy.com and Amazon. A bundle with a protective garage costs €999, though a pre-order promotion offered €152 off that bundle until launch. UK sterling pricing has not been confirmed, and T3 launch coverage notes no US release timeline has been announced. The C15 competes in the same broad bracket as the Worx Landroid Vision and older Husqvarna Automower models, though no head-to-head testing has been published yet.
For gardens under 500 m², it's a genuinely low-friction pitch: no wire installation, no specialist setup, and a price that undercuts most wire-free alternatives. Whether it holds up through a full mowing season remains to be seen.
