Best all-wheel-drive robot mowers

Every four-wheel-drive robot mower in the database, ranked on what the drivetrain is actually for.

All-wheel drive costs money and adds weight, and on a flat lawn it buys nothing. It earns its keep on wet banks, loose ground and thick grass, where a two-wheel-drive machine loses traction and strands itself. Ranked with terrain weighted heaviest.
