How to Choose the Right Robotic Mower for You…

Robotic mowers are quickly becoming a must-have for homeowners who want a perfect lawn—without the weekend chore of mowing. But with so many models out there, how do you choose the right one? In this post, we’ll break down what you need to consider and compare three of the top brands: Husqvarna, Segway, and Kress.

✅ What to Consider Before You Buy

Before diving into the brands, let’s go over a few key things to think about when choosing a robotic mower:

  1. Lawn Size
    Robotic mowers are rated for different lawn sizes—some can handle small yards, while others are built for large or even commercial spaces.

  2. Terrain and Slopes
    Does your lawn have hills, uneven areas, or tight corners? Not all models handle slopes or obstacles equally.

  3. Installation Type
    Some mowers need boundary wires, while others use GPS or virtual boundaries.

  4. Smart Features
    Do you want app control, GPS tracking, or automatic rain detection? These features can make your life easier.

  5. Budget
    Prices can range from under $1,000 to well over $4,000 depending on the features and brand.
