Six short lists of mowersAll shortlists

Or start with what matters most

Usually one thing decides which mower you can buy. A steep slope. A big lawn. Heavy shade. Or a tight budget. Pick yours below and we will show you the mowers that can handle it.

Steep yards Many robot mowers slip or stop on a slope. These ones are built to climb, and we explain how steep is too steep. Big lawns A robot mower can only cut so much grass on one charge. These ones can keep a big lawn tidy. Small & city lawns A small lawn does not need a big, expensive mower. These smaller, cheaper ones do the job. Trees, beds & narrow gaps Trees, beds and tight gaps can confuse a robot mower. These ones find their way around them. No boundary wire Most robot mowers need a thin wire pegged around your lawn, so they know where to stop. These ones use satellites or a camera, so there is no wire to lay. Under $1,000 The cheapest robot mowers worth buying, and what you give up compared with dearer ones.

Guide How to put a robot mower away for winter, brand by brand Wes CarmodyNov 2026 Once the grass stops growing, a robot mower goes inside until spring. Each brand sets its own charge level and storage rules. Here is what Navimow, Mammotion, ECOVACS and eufy ask for. Review Mammotion LUBA mini 2 AWD review: a small, steep yard with trees over it Wes CarmodyNov 20264.3 / 5 It drives all four wheels, so it can climb a steep bank. A laser maps the yard, so trees overhead do not stop it. Check your grass first: this version cuts no shorter than 2.2 in. Head to head Navimow i215 LiDAR vs LUBA mini 2 AWD: which one climbs a steeper lawn? Dana WhitlockNov 2026 Both use a laser to find their way, so both keep working under trees. Both are rated for the same size of lawn. Where they differ is how steep a hill each one can climb. Guide How steep is your lawn? Measure it before you buy a robot mower Wes CarmodyOct 2026 Every robot mower has a slope limit, and some have a second, lower one for the lawn edge. Here is how to measure your own slope with string or a phone, and how to read the number on the box. Review Segway Navimow i210 AWD review: a sloped quarter acre, best with open sky Wes CarmodyOct 20264.0 / 5 Navimow rates this mower for a quarter acre, and we would plan on about 0.2 acre of sloped lawn. Navimow says the mower keeps its satellite signal under tall trees. Check how much open sky your lawn has. Review Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 3000 review: steep slopes, even under trees Wes CarmodyOct 20264.3 / 5 Most robot mowers cannot climb a steep slope. The ones that steer by satellite stop under trees. This one drives all four wheels up the hill, and a laser keeps it mowing in the shade.
How we work

How we match you with a mower

We read what the brand says the mower can do

How steep a hill it climbs. How much grass it cuts. How narrow a gap it fits through. How clear a view of the sky its satellite antenna needs. Then we explain what those numbers mean for a real lawn, and we take a safety margin off first.

We always say which lawn a mower is for

There is no best mower for every lawn. The right one depends on how big, how steep and how shady your lawn is. So we say which lawn each mower suits. We also tell you when a mower is wrong for your lawn.

We say which mowers we would not buy

We give our own score out of five, and we give low scores freely. An average mower gets a three. If a cheaper mower can climb your hill, we tell you to buy the cheaper one.
