Eufy E15 robot mower review: is clever wireless machine the future of gardening?
Many other robot lawn mowers use a perimeter wire (also called a boundary wire) or an RTK antenna and GNSS to navigate and stay within the designated lawn area.
But Eufy E15 uses visual recognition, AI algorithms and 3D sensors to distinguish the boundaries of your lawn and avoid obstacles in real time.
It does this by mapping your gardens in a similar way to the many robot vacuums that Eufy manufactures map the rooms of your home. (The Anker subsidiary became Ireland's number one robovac firm in late 2024 in terms of sales, incidentally.)
Setting up and installing the grey-coloured Eufy E15 unit and the accompanying covered base station including connecting to WiFi and Bluetooth takes about 15 minutes. Everything you need for setting up is in the box, incidentally including the mains cable and plug for charging it.
You are then ready to unleash the robot for its initial auto-mapping run. Eufy E15's Visual Fusion Sensing and Decision (V-FSD) tech drives the mower around your garden to see which areas are grassy and which might be no-go zones such as flower beds, hedges and pathways. This process took me only 10 minutes. The same Eufy app you use for your vacuum then saves a map of your garden and you're good to go.
The E15's obstacle avoidance tech is smart too - it will avoid any changes on your landscape such as toys strewn on the grass or pets.
The intuitive-to-use app allows you to customise most of the Eufy E15's mowing abilities. You can set path directions, grass height, edge spacing, path spacing, travel and blade speed, rain detection and schedule up to eight events.
You can also control the device manually in the app using the live camera feature. It's like playing with a remote controlled car that just happens to be mowing your grass. For the most part, however, you are going to let it run autonomously. The firm said the battery has enough capacity to mow a lawn up to 800 square metres in size.
The three-wheel machine does a great job of snipping the lawn, even one with rough terrain like mine. It is equipped with a spinning 20cm diameter disc of small but tough cutting razor blades that create clean lines and cut with professional-looking consistency. It will automatically adjust the cutting height from 25mm to 75mm in 5mm increments. And it can handle slopes of up to 18 degrees. E15 is relatively quiet in operation too. The Noise app on my Apple Watch measured the volume at just 55dB of sound.
It's a light and easy mower to move around. It measures 60.3cm x 39.4cm x 31.8cm. It has a convenient handle on the rear and it is easy to clean the blades underneath. You can use a garden hose to blast away any dirt or mud or just brush it off. The company recommends changing the blades every couple of months, depending on usage. And it said the camera sensors should be kept clean to ensure accurate navigation and prevent the rain sensor from getting blocked.
The camera system employed means E15 can't mow your lawn in the dark. But I doubt that will bother too many people. It's worth noting that you may still need to tidy up some edges with a strimmer.
Eufy's base station is waterproof and designed to be located outdoors so the device is ready for use at any time. If you are worried about theft, the mower has a handy hidden compartment for an Apple AirTag or similar tracker which should help you locate it.
Eufy E15 is a robot that could well be the future of lawn mowers. Between its precision cutting skills and its simple-to-use app and controls, it is will prove to be a game-changer for anyone with small to medium size and relatively flat gardens.
Eufy E15 is on sale now at Eufy.com, Amazon and elsewhere, with an RRP of €1,499 (and £1499 in Northern Ireland).

DJI Mic Mini review: is this the best compact wireless microphone set-up?
I recently reviewed the entry-level DJI Osmo Mobile 7 smartphone gimbal which I tested alongside the firm's entry-level Mic Mini. It impressed me so much it deserved a review of its own. If you engage in any sort of content creation, the decent quality audio recording you get from DJI Mic Mini will enhance all your videos. It's also so portable, discrete and versatile that you can use it to boost how you sound on everything from voice notes to zoom video calls. READ MORE: DJI Osmo Mobile 7 review: entry-level gimbal punches well above its weight in features and functionality READ MORE: I've tested DJI Mini 4 Pro and it's a solid ultra-portable drone for both beginners and pros DJI Mic Mini everyday use The Mic Mini receiver attaches to your camera using a cold shoe mount (Image: DJI) DJI Mic Mini has a similar dual-transmitter and all-in-one charging case design to the more expensive DJI Mic 2. As well as the two compact transmitters and case, you get a receiver, a pair of wind-shields, a soft carrying bag, an extra set of wind-shields, a 3.5mm audio cable and a USB-A to USB-C cable. The transmitters feature omnidirectional microphones and have a handy magnet attachment for attaching neatly to a shirt or jacket. An Auto Limiting feature automatically prevents your audio from clipping. The receiver offers a cold shoe mount and 3.5 audio jack for use with a camera and a USB-C adaptor for use with a phone. It looks like an imperfect fit on any phone but slots in nicely on cameras. Mic Mini receiver attached to a smartphone (Image: DJI) But as the transmitters can connect to your phone directly through Bluetooth, you don't need to use the receiver with your handset. The Bluetooth connection works seamlessly with the DJI Mimo app, third-party video apps and DJI Osmo gizmos such as the gimbal or the excellent Pocket 3 camera. Mic Mini gives you manual plus or minus 12db audio level control and enables you to capture excellent quality audio with a minimum of fuss. The quality difference in audio recorded on a phone's microphones and Mic Mini is massive. I have used it now for a couple of months and found it to be consistently reliable. I've experienced no glitches. Coverage is rated at up to 400m and its noise-cancelling holds its own in both busy and windy environments. There's also a handy Auto Limiting feature that automatically prevents your audio from clipping. DJI Mic Mini other features The compact DJI Mic Mini charging case (Image: DJI) The 48-hour battery life is superb and means you can wear it all day every day at work if you wish. One thing to note is that unlike on the more expensive DJI Mic 2, the Mic Mini transmitters do not have any internal recording so you essentially have no back-up audio. DJI Mic Mini verdict The portability of the package means DJI Mic Mini can be taken anywhere and the ease of use means you can be up and running quickly no matter what set-up you are using. Audio quality is superb for the price point. It's a package that delivers great value for money. Pricing and availability DJI Mic Mini (2TX + 1RX + charging case) costs €169 from but it's currently reduced to €127. There are several purchasing options: individual components, one mic and receiver (currently €67) or the complete kit we reviewed which contains two mics (with magnets), one receiver, a charging case and wind muffs for the mics. You can also buy DJI Mic Mini from Amazon which is offering 25 percent off at the time of publication. Other products in the same category include Maono Wave T5 Wireless Microphone Combo which costs €109 on Amazon reduced from €145 (at time of publication).

Seenda Sleek JP-064-3 review: budget-priced keyboard and mouse combo kit
Seenda Sleek JP-064-3 Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse Combo is an ultra-affordable set-up that works equally well with both Mac and Windows computers and laptops. The pairing comes in a few colours but I reviewed the black matte units that look sleek and professional in an office environment. The multi-device compatibility means you can connect up to three devices and switch between them quickly and effortlessly using the designated buttons on the top right of the keyboard. There are two Bluetooth connections along with a USB-A receiver. READ MORE: Insta360 takes on DJI with launch of drone brand Antigravity and promise of 360-degree aerial videography READ MORE: Ugreen Nexode Retractable Chargers review: ideal power bank for festivals such as All Together Now Along with their suitability for Mac and Windows, the full-size QWERTY UK keyboard and matching mouse are also compatible with iPads and iPhones along with Android handsets and tablets. Setting both devices up is simple and quick. Seenda Sleek JP-064-3 Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse Combo (Image: Seenda) The rechargeable-by-USB-C keyboard battery provides up to 200 hours of use from a single three-hour charge thanks to efficient energy management. There is a welcome auto-sleep battery saving feature along with on/off switches. The mouse can also be recharged by USB-C and unlike Apple's Magic Mouse, you can still work with the mouse while it is recharging. In everyday use, the devices do all that is asked of them. The scissor-switch keys are a joy to type on and the ultra-slim mouse feels comfortable for both your fingers and wrist but over prolonged use someone with large hands especially might experience the weakness of the ultra-slim design and wish the ergonomics on the mouse were better. If you are someone who works on-the-go a lot or travels frequently for work, the light weight and portability of this combo should be a major plus can bring these peripherals anywhere with ease. Despite both devices feeling so lightweight, the build quality suggests they should be durable enough to last despite the entry-level price point. One caveat to note is the keyboard is not backlit. Seenda Sleek JP-064-3 verdict If you are on a budget and use a multitude of devices on a regular basis, you can't really go wrong with Seenda Sleek JP-064-3 (also known as SKM-064-3). Price comparison Apple Magic Keyboard and Mouse costs €204 from Apple . Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse costs €89.99 from Logitech Pebble Keys wireless keyboard costs €54.99 from Currys. Seenda Sleek JP-064-3 pricing and availability Seenda JP-064-3 Keyboard and Mouse Combo costs (at time of publication) €47.19 at Amazon.

Ugreen is one of my favourite accessories and peripherals brands. It makes stylish chargers and power banks that are robustly built yet portable.
