Robot mowers the maker rates for lawns of 2,000 m² and above, ranked on coverage, navigation accuracy and how well they hold up.
On a large plot the mower runs for hours, every day, all season. Deck width and navigation accuracy decide whether it finishes; reliability decides whether it is still finishing in year three. Value is weighted lightly here: the cheapest machine that cannot cover the ground is not a bargain.
