EGOAURA-R2 RMR1500E

The AURA-R2 RMR1500E (£1,799) is a robot mower from EGO. It is rated for lawns up to 1,500 m² and slopes up to 50%. Navigation: PATH IQ: RTK + VSLAM + VIO.

EGO’s wire-free mower combining RTK with visual SLAM and visual-inertial odometry.

On paper it suits typical suburban gardens — the manufacturer rates it for up to 1,500 m². A 50% slope rating covers most sloping gardens; for banks steeper than that, look at AWD models. As always, treat the area figure as a best case: buy with a 30–50% buffer if your lawn has slopes, trees or narrow passages.

Satellite RTK positioning gives centimetre-level accuracy on open lawns, which means virtual boundaries drawn in the app, several zones and neat parallel stripes instead of random mowing. Cameras add AI obstacle detection and visual tracking, which helps the mower avoid toys, pets and garden furniture and bridges short gaps in the satellite signal.

It mows with a 24 cm cutting width and a cutting height of 20–90 mm. Power comes from a 5 Ah battery. It weighs about 15 kg, light enough to carry between separate lawns.
