Show the facts and the math
How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Long steep slopes run across the lawn”, “The terrain is rough, rutted or otherwise uneven”, and “My grass has to be cut higher than three inches”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedFigures are the lawn area the maker rates it for. Slopes, layout, obstacles and how often it mows can shrink the area it really covers. The median draws on the 47 of 56 models that publish comparable figures.
