US prices
Stated US prices run from $579 (RoboUP Raccoon 2 SE) to $5,499 (Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro). All 54 published listings state a price.
| Yard fit | Coverage | Listings | US price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small yards | Under 0.5 acre | 28 | $579–$2,399 |

Figures are the prices recorded on the published listings. The price note on each listing says what the number is.
This page is a directory curation, not a test lab ranking. Every machine below is a published listing on Best Robot Lawn Mowers. Specs and prices come from those listings (official manufacturer pages and live carts as of each listing’s updated date). There is no “#1 robot mower 2026,” no invented scores, and no fake testimonials.
Start with yard size, then slope, then whether you will bury a boundary loop. Open each listing for the caveat. Tick cards on the homepage or the wire-free hub if you want side-by-side spec rows.
Coverage figures are the manufacturer’s recommended work area unless the listing says otherwise. Some SKUs (Anthbot Genie especially) market a higher ceiling than the recommended figure — use the listing’s recommended number for yard-fit.
How to use this roundup
- Measure grass area (not lot size).
- Check the steepest grade inside the work area — and separately any grade at the boundary or along a driveway edge.
- Decide: wire-free (RTK / LiDAR / vision) vs. traditional boundary wire.
- Match a section below, then open 2–3 listing pages before you spend $1.5k–$5k+.
Small yard (~≤0.25 acre)
Fits compact suburban and townhouse lawns when the published coverage is at or under a quarter acre.
| Fit | Listing | Coverage | Slope | Nav | Wire | Price (listing) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tight urban | Anthbot M5 | 0.12 acre | 45% | RTK + vision | Wire-free | $649 |
| Small RTK Genie | Anthbot Genie 600e (4G) | 0.15 acre recommended (variant markets 0.22) | 45% | RTK + vision | Wire-free | $699 |
| Eighth-acre Navimow | Segway Navimow i105 | 0.125 acre | 30% | RTK + vision | Wire-free | $799 |
| Quarter-acre Navimow | Segway Navimow i110 | 0.25 acre | 30% | RTK + vision | Wire-free | $1,099 (sold out 9 Oct 2026) |
| Vision + cloud RTK | Worx Landroid Vision Cloud WR310.1 | 0.25 acre | 30% | Vision + RTK | Wire-free | $1,199.99 |
| RTK + vision RWD | Roborock RockNeo Q1 | 0.25 acre | 45% | RTK + vision | Wire-free | $1,299 |
| Small AWD / steep patches | Dreame A3 AWD 1000 | 0.25 acre | 80% | LiDAR + vision | Wire-free | $1,399.99 |
| Mid Genie (rec. 1/4 acre) | Anthbot Genie 1000 | 0.25 acre recommended (variant markets 0.49) | 45% | RTK + vision | Wire-free | $799 |
Yard-fit note: If the lawn is truly ≤0.125 acre and relatively flat, i105 or M5 / Genie 600e are the catalog’s small end. If you need AWD toward 80% inside a quarter acre, Dreame A3 AWD 1000 is the small-yard AWD card — not the larger Pro or 2000 SKUs.
Mid yard (~0.5–0.9 acre)
| Fit | Listing | Coverage | Slope | Nav | Wire | Price (listing) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Half-acre AWD LiDAR | Dreame A3 AWD 2000 | 0.5 acre | 80% | LiDAR + vision | Wire-free | $1,699.99 |
| Half-acre EPOS | Husqvarna Automower 410 iQ | 0.5 acre systematic / 0.25 irregular | 45% | RTK (EPOS) | Wire-free | ~$2,599 street |
| ~3/4-acre Genie | Anthbot Genie 3000 | 0.75 acre recommended (variant markets 0.89) | 45% | RTK + vision | Wire-free | $899 |
| ~3/4-acre LiDAR + trimmer | ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO | 0.75 acre | 50% (virtual boundary 20%) | LiDAR + vision | Wire-free | $2,499.99 |
| ~0.87-acre AWD Pro | Dreame A3 AWD Pro 3500 | 0.87 acre | 80% | LiDAR + vision | Wire-free | $2,599.99 |
| ~0.37-acre AWD LiDAR | Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 1500 | 0.37 acre | 80% | LiDAR + vision | Wire-free | $2,399 (sold out 11 Oct 2026) |
Yard-fit note: Genie 3000’s live cart is low relative to acreage peers, but use the 0.75-acre recommended figure — not the 0.89-acre marketing label — the same way Genie 1000 uses 0.25 recommended vs 0.49 marketed. Husqvarna 410 iQ’s irregular capacity is half the systematic figure; messy layouts should size to 0.25 acre on that card.
Hills / AWD / high slope
Manufacturer slope % is max inside the work area unless the listing splits boundary slope. Wet grass, drop-offs, and driveways are not the same as that number. See the dedicated hills hub for the longer explanation.
| Fit | Listing | Slope | Coverage | Drive | Price (listing) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highest published climb in catalog | Segway Navimow X430 | 84% | 1 acre | AWD | $2,499 (sold out 27 Sep 2026) |
| AWD LiDAR, no RTK pole | Dreame A3 AWD 1000 / 2000 / Pro 3500 | 80% | 0.25 / 0.5 / 0.87 acre | AWD | $1,399.99–$2,599.99 |
| AWD LiDAR small yard | Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 1500 | 80% | 0.37 acre | AWD | $2,399 (sold out 11 Oct 2026) |
| EPOS AWD | Husqvarna Automower 435 iQ AWD | 70% in-lawn / 50% boundary | 1.3 systematic / 0.9 irregular | AWD | ~$4,799 street |
| Wire AWD | Husqvarna Automower 435X AWD | 70% in-lawn / 50% at wire | 0.9 acre | AWD | ~$2,999 street |
| Modular large / tracked core | Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro | 70% | 6 acres max | Dual drive motors | $5,499 |
Yard-fit note: A published 80% or 84% is not a promise on wet turf or at a cliff edge. Prefer AWD cards when grade is the reason you are shopping; rear- or front-wheel machines with 30–50% caps are weaker matches for real hills.
Wire-free (RTK / LiDAR / vision)
Full catalog of wireFree: true listings: Wire-free robot mowers.
Wire-free on this site means the machine is sold to hold a work area with RTK, vision, LiDAR, or a mix — not a buried perimeter loop. You still place a charging station. Most kits still need sky for GNSS, or cameras/LiDAR that can see.
Representative picks by navigation style (not a ranking):
- RTK + vision, small: Navimow i105, i110, Genie 600e, RockNeo Q1, Vision Cloud WR310
- LiDAR + vision (no RTK on SKU): Dreame A3 AWD line, LUBA 3 AWD 1500, GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO
- Acre-class RTK: Navimow X430, X390, Automower 440 iQ, 435 iQ AWD
Boundary-wire budget / traditional
These listings require a physical perimeter loop (wireFree: false). Pegs/wire may or may not be in the box — check each page.
| Fit | Listing | Coverage | Slope | Price (listing) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eighth-acre wire | Worx Landroid S WR165 | 0.125 acre | 30% | $999.99 (out of stock 6 Sep 2026) |
| Quarter-acre wire | Worx Landroid M WR147 | 0.25 acre | 30% | $1,199.99 (out of stock 5 Sep 2026) |
| Half-acre wire | Worx Landroid L WR155 | 0.5 acre | 30% | $699.99 sale (out of stock 28 Aug 2026) |
| Hilly wire AWD | Husqvarna Automower 435X AWD | 0.9 acre | 70% | ~$2,999 street; loop wire/stakes sold separately |
Yard-fit note: A simple open rectangle can still be a better match for boundary wire than a wire-free kit that needs clear sky or camera sight lines. Stock and street prices move — confirm the live cart on the official URL in each listing.
Large / estate
Catalog support above ~1 acre is real but thinner than the small-yard shelf.
| Fit | Listing | Coverage | Slope | Wire | Price (listing) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-acre AWD RTK | Segway Navimow X430 | 1 acre | 84% | Wire-free | $2,499 (sold out 27 Sep 2026) |
| ~1.3-acre EPOS AWD | Husqvarna Automower 435 iQ AWD | 1.3 systematic / 0.9 irregular | 70% | Wire-free | ~$4,799 street |
| ~2-acre EPOS | Husqvarna Automower 440 iQ | 2 systematic / 1 irregular | 45% | Wire-free | ~$4,299 street |
| 2.5-acre RTK | Segway Navimow X390 | 2.5 acres | 50% | Wire-free | $4,499 ($4,999 MSRP) |
| Estate modular | Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro | 6 acres max | 70% | Wire-free | $5,499 |
Yard-fit note: Husqvarna publishes separate systematic vs irregular capacities — size to the irregular number if beds, trees, and islands dominate. Yarbo is a Core + Lawn Mower Pro module system, not a one-piece suburban robot. For a dedicated 1-acre framing, see best robot mower for 1 acre.

FAQ
How much do robotic lawn mowers cost?
Stated US prices run from $579 (RoboUP Raccoon 2 SE) to $5,499 (Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro). All 54 published listings state a price. By yard fit, small yards (published coverage under 0.5 acre, 28 listings) run $579–$2,399; mid-size yards (published coverage 0.5–1.5 acres, 22 listings) run $699–$4,799; larger yards (published coverage over 1.5 acres, 4 listings) run $3,199–$5,499. Each figure is the price recorded on that listing. The price note on the listing page says what the number is. The stamp on each card shows that same price.
What is the difference between wire-free and boundary-wire mowers?
Wire-free on this site means the machine is sold to hold a work area with RTK, vision, LiDAR, or a mix, not a buried perimeter loop. You still place a charging station. 50 published listings are wire-free. 4 listings require a boundary wire: Husqvarna Automower 435X AWD at $2,999, Worx Landroid M WR147 at $1,199, Worx Landroid L WR155 at $699, and Worx Landroid S WR165 at $999. A simple open rectangle can still be a better match for boundary wire than a wire-free kit that needs clear sky or camera sight lines.
Which robot mowers suit about an acre?
11 published listings have recommended coverage of at least 1 acre. The lowest of those figures is 1 acre (Segway Navimow X430 at $2,499 and Worx Landroid Vision Cloud 4WD WR344 at $2,999.99). The highest is 6 acres (Yarbo Lawn Mower Pro at $5,499). 7 listings are near-misses, with recommended coverage from 0.75 acre up to, but not including, 1 acre. The lowest near-miss is 0.75 acre (Anthbot Genie 3000 at $899, ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO at $2,499.99, Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 3000 at $2,799, MOVA LiDAX Ultra 3000 AWD at $2,399, and Sunseeker X7 Gen 2 at $2,599). The highest near-miss is 0.9 acre (Husqvarna Automower 435X AWD at $2,999). Recommended coverage is the manufacturer figure on the listing. The Best robot mower for 1 acre page uses this same split.
Which robot mowers handle steep slopes?
20 published listings meet the hills rule: the drive type includes AWD, or the published work-area slope is at least 70%. The highest published slope is 100% (Lymow One Plus 10A at $3,199 and Lymow One Plus 5A at $2,999). Slope on a listing is the maximum the manufacturer publishes inside the work area, unless that listing also states a lower boundary figure. Wet grass, drop-offs, and driveways are not that number. Listings stay in that hills set below 70% when the drive type includes AWD: Segway Navimow i210 AWD (45%, $1,049). The Best robot mower for hills page uses this same rule.
How is this directory organized?
This page groups published listings by yard fit: Small yards (published coverage under 0.5 acre), Mid-size yards (published coverage 0.5–1.5 acres), and Larger yards (published coverage over 1.5 acres). A band is omitted when it has no published listings. Right now the page shows 28 in Small yards, 22 in Mid-size yards, and 4 in Larger yards. There is no #1 model and no score.
