Club Benefits
Robot mowers are an increasingly smart choice for garden owners. They make it easy to achieve a perfect lawn without spending hours pushing a mower over the ground in the hot sun.
However, many robot mowers are impractical for more modest gardens. They need clumsy guard wires or clunky GPS stations. They cost a fortune and need even more effort to use than just buying a cheap hover mower.
But RoboUP’s Raccoon 2 SE breaks that mold. Unlike most robot mowers, sold as an afterthought by companies more focused on other garden tools, RoboUP is a customer-first company. Releasing on March 18th, the Raccoon 2 SE was backed by more than 600 enthusiasts on Kickstarter.
Extensively tested by professional media outlets, it’s also stood up to realistic tests by everyday users. More than 80 regular gardeners like you have tried and approved this robot in beta testing, so you know it isn’t just marketing; this robot actually works for a typical suburban garden. This set-and-forget robot will keep your lawn perfectly neat without you even noticing that you’re doing it, freeing your weekends from tedious mowing and lawn care.
1. Convenience
One of the best features of this robot mower is its convenience. Most robot mowers are tedious to set up. Top-line models need GPS stations to work, and cheap models will have you digging up half of your garden to lay a guide wire at the boundaries of your lawn.
The joy of the Raccoon 2 SE is that you can mow straight out of the box. You’re freed from the faff of guard wires and RTK systems, freeing up time to spend with your kids. It’s especially helpful if you’re older and developing mobility issues, as this mower does it all - from set up to mowing - without you having to strain through tricky set-up.
Its one-press operation means you don’t have to waste time and money on a complicated setup. It works like a robot vacuum; just set it down on your lawn, press start, and it will instantly start parallel mowing.
2. Effciency
It’s that same parallel mowing that makes this robot so efficient. Most traditional robot mowers use random mowing patterns. This cuts down on the number of sensors needed to keep the manufacturer’s overhead low, but makes for long mowing sessions. But the Raccoon 2 SE’s default mode is to mow in parallel lines.
This full-map parallel mowing is 1.6x more efficient than random mowing. On top of that, this mower charges in just 70 minutes, and it will complete a mow in 150 minutes or less. It will head straight to tricky target areas and deliver a perfect trim thanks to its durable, stainless-steel blades. If you prefer random mowing, it’s still an option – the Raccoon 2 SE lets you do both. You don’t need a perfectly rectangular lawn, either. The Raccoon SE 2’s AI-enabled camera and bumper will prevent it from bumping into obstacles for an even more efficient cut.
3. Versatility

But it’s not just AI capability that makes this robot so versatile. Hilly yards are tricky for most robot mowers, but this model can easily tackle slopes of up to 36%. Not only that, but it can also handle uneven ground. It can traverse potholes up to 5cm deep and navigate over bumps up to 4cm high.
It works in difficult spots, too. Most robot mowers are fine out on a lawn, but struggle in awkward areas. Some expensive models can’t handle straightforward tasks like mowing in shade, but the Raccoon 2 SE can tackle these with ease. It’s perfectly reliable in shaded or complex areas under trees, around corners, beneath eaves and even in leaf-covered zones during autumn. That makes it perfect for small gardens too; it can comfortably work in tight, narrow gaps as tight as 80cm.
4. Affordability
Best of all, it’s affordable. Thanks to the launch offer, the Raccoon 2 SE is the ideal robot mower for small lawns under €500. The usual RRP is €629, but an up to 20% discount across all channels brings this mower down to €499, saving you €130. In the U.S., the original $699 RRP has a $120 saving, taking it below $600 to $579.
You’re not only saving, either. If you order by March 28th, you’ll also receive a free box of replacement blades to keep your lawn looking at its best.
