Find the robot mower that fits your yard, not the ad budget.

We score 100 robot lawn mowers from 11 brands on navigation, slopes, value, setup and security, using maker specs only. 92 of them need no boundary wire. No brand pays to be here.

How we score

Six weighted dimensions, computed from specs. Navigation and coverage carries the most weight at 25%. Owner reputation sits at a neutral 5 until we have owner data.
