By the numbers
What we found across the robotic lawn mowers we compare, plus the checked facts behind each finding.
Only 2 of the 56 models checked meet every need here: “A proven physical boundary wire is my preference”, “Satellite view gets interrupted by trees or buildings”, and “About half an acre is what I need to cover”.
2 models fit, out of 56 checkedHusqvarna Automower 430X lists 0.8 acre for listed lawn-area rating, 60% above the 0.5 acre median.
How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “A proven physical boundary wire is my preference”, “Satellite view gets interrupted by trees or buildings”, and “About half an acre is what I need to cover”. 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.
