Einhell FREELEXO CAM PLUS 600 Review: Robot Mower Without Boundary Wire
In short: the Einhell FREELEXO CAM PLUS 600 is a robot lawn mower that finds its way around the garden using a camera and ultrasonic sensors instead of a buried boundary wire — the main practical benefit is skipping a day of wire-laying installation. It covers up to 600 m², handles slopes up to 25%, and connects to the Einhell Connect app over WiFi.

What Stands Out
Skipping boundary-wire installation is the headline feature — the camera identifies lawn by colour and texture, and only a short guide cable near the charging station is needed. At 57 dB(A) it is quiet enough to run during the day without disturbing conversation nearby, and unlike most FREELEXO models it ships with a battery included rather than as a bare "Solo" tool. Cut grass is left as mulch, so there's no clippings to collect.
Where It Falls Short
Camera-based navigation still needs reasonably clear sightlines and consistent lighting to reliably distinguish lawn from paths or beds; very irregular gardens with lots of small obstacles may still benefit from the traditional wire-boundary FREELEXO models for more predictable edges. At 9.65 kg it's also one of the heavier robot mowers in the range, and 600 m² coverage caps it to small-to-mid-size gardens.
Who Should Buy It?
Garden owners with a lawn up to roughly 600 m² who want to avoid a day spent burying boundary wire, and who are comfortable relying on a camera system rather than a physical wire boundary. If your garden has complex shapes, many flower beds, or areas you'll want to exclude precisely and permanently, a wire-boundary FREELEXO model may still map those zones more predictably.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the FREELEXO CAM PLUS 600 need a boundary wire?
- No wire around the lawn itself — the camera and ultrasonic sensors detect the lawn edge and obstacles. A short guide cable is still needed near the charging station so the mower can find its way home.
- What size garden is it suitable for?
- Up to 600 m², based on the accessories and coverage rating included with this model. Larger properties would need a higher-coverage FREELEXO model.
- Does it come with a battery?
- Yes — unlike many other Einhell garden tools sold as bare "Solo" units, the FREELEXO CAM PLUS 600 includes one 4.0 Ah Power X-Change Plus battery.
- How does it handle rain and slopes?
- A built-in rain sensor sends it back to the charging station when rain is detected, and it's rated for slopes up to 25% (with lower limits near the edges of the mowing area, as with all robot mowers).
- Can I control it from my phone?
- Yes, it connects to the Einhell Connect app over WiFi for scheduling, monitoring, and software updates, in addition to the onboard keypad controls.
