Best robot mowers for small lawns

Machines sized for gardens up to 1,000 m², ranked on ease of setup and what you get for the money.

A small garden does not need a flagship. It needs something that installs in an afternoon, handles the awkward corners and does not cost more than the lawn is worth. Ease of use and value carry the most weight here.
