Einhell FREELEXO CAM 500

The spec-sheet read

Our analysis of the sourced spec sheet — positioning and trade-offs, not a hands-on review. We don't score mowers we haven't tested.

Einhell's camera-guided wire-free robot for 500 m²: no boundary wire, a Power X-Change 18 V battery, 57 dB(A) and the lowest wire-free price in our catalogue at €649.95.

The FREELEXO CAM 500 takes a different route to wire-free mowing from the RTK and LiDAR machines here: an integrated camera recognises the edge of the lawn optically while ultrasonic sensors pick up physical obstacles, and a 5 m magnetic strip is supplied for areas the camera should treat as off-limits. Einhell rates it for 500 m² with a 25% slope limit, an 18 cm cut and a 20–60 mm height range, at 12.4 kg with IPX4 sealing and 57 dB(A) — the same figure as Gardena's quietest wired robots. The battery is a removable 3 Ah pack from Einhell's Power X-Change 18 V family, so it is shared with the brand's other cordless tools.

At €649.95 on Einhell's own store it is the lowest-priced wire-free robot in our catalogue, undercutting the Navimow i105E (£699) and the Kress RTKⁿ 600 (€799), and the trade-offs are visible on the sheet: the lowest slope rating among the wire-free machines here (25%), IPX4 rather than IPX5 or IPX6, and programming through an LED panel and keypad on the machine — Einhell's page lists no app. Mowing time and recharge time are not published either, so the 500 m² should be read as a rated ceiling rather than a per-charge figure.

Verification note: Specs are quoted from Einhell's German product page (article 3413991) and its FREELEXO CAM overview page; the €649.95 is the manufacturer store's listed price with no promotional marker. App control, mowing time, recharge time, multi-zone support and warranty are not stated and are left unspecified. This is a reading of the published specification, not a hands-on test.
