Operated by the MAP (Mowing Action Plan™) technology, it efficiently manicures lawns up to 1000 ㎡.

  • Satellite-guided — no perimeter wire installation
  • Centimeter-level accuracy without the need for a fixed antenna on the lawn
  • Systematic coverage in parallel lines for maximum mowing efficiency
  • Satellite-precise multi-zone management
  • Patented obstacle avoidance system

It features a dual-blade system, quiet operation, and auto-docking for charging. You can manage settings, zones, and schedules through the Kress app. The KR161E is designed for users who want regular mowing without the hassle of manual control or wire installation.

Accessories You’ll Need for the KR161E

The KR161E is a compact wire-free mower that uses RTKn positioning for precise, low-maintenance cutting. While setup is straightforward, a few accessories can help extend performance, simplify upkeep, and improve signal reliability.

RTKn Signal Support or Local Station

To mow with high accuracy, the KR161E depends on RTKn correction data. If signal coverage is weak in your area, a small base station can be added to provide stable correction for consistent mowing.

Charging Station Shelter

A simple weather cover protects the charging dock from rain, direct sun, and debris. It’s a smart add-on to extend hardware life, especially if your dock is installed in an exposed area.

Spare Blades and Quick-Clean Brush

Spare blades are useful to keep cuts clean and reduce wear on the motor. A quick-clean brush or scraper helps remove grass build-up from the underside during weekly maintenance.

Initial Setup Flags

During first-time setup, basic ground flags or markers help guide zone mapping through the Kress app, especially in gardens with trees, slopes, or border plants.
