McCulloch Robot Lawnmowers Reviewed (2020)
Although the S-series models are slightly* newer than the R-series McCulloch robot lawn mowers, they aren’t too far apart from one another when it comes technological solutions to what a robot mower is set out to do. Here are the models available:
- McCulloch ROB S400
- McCulloch ROB R600
- McCulloch ROB S600
- McCulloch ROB R1000
What you do NOT get with McCulloch robot lawnmowers:
If you wanted a gardener with cloud computing artificial intelligence system navigating the lawn using highly sophisticated technologies along with a GPS system, automatically scheduling mowing times based on the grass’ growth rate and weather conditions, assuming you covered the whole mowing area with a Wi-Fi signal, then that’s not what you’re getting with McCulloch robot mowers.
What you DO get:
What you’re looking at with McCulloch is, first and foremost, an autonomous practical good quality typical lawn mower that gets the job done. Apart from all the essential mowing, safety, and security features, the more advanced features include things like inaccessible zone coverage, cut to edge, and energy saving mode, along with a few others like that. Nothing highly advanced, so you don’t need to fiddle around with adjusting every little detail to justify a higher price, hence McCulloch robot mowers are affordable if not cheap. Remote control is also limited to Bluetooth connection, so there’s no need to extend your Wi-Fi signal all across the lawn either.
As for the negatives:
Although it can do its thing when it’s raining, there’s no rain sensor in these robot mowers. You also need go through the effort of installing a perimeter wire, and you need to take out the dishes yourself because this robot was not meant for anything else but mowing the lawn.

Who’s Behind the McCulloch Robotic Lawnmowers?
McCulloch UK Ltd is a brand within the Husqvarna Group.
This Swedish company, currently the global leader in robotic lawn mowers by the way, acquired the rights to the American based McCulloch brand first in Europe and then on the North American markets in 1999 and 2009 respectively.
McCulloch has these robot mower models available: McCulloch ROB S400, S600, R600, and R1000. And the only real difference between them all is how they’re wired to handle the corresponding size of mowing area. They all share very similar features wherein the R-series are older than S-series models and thus have slightly older features/solutions in comparison. The R600 is the least sophisticated model amongst them.
Also, Gardena, another brand dealing with robotic lawn mowers, is also part of Husqvarna Group. Just saying.
