All robot lawn mowers. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
Where each one suits you.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | Automower 115H |
|---|---|
| Yard size | |
| Under ¼ acre | Good115H runtime covers sub-1,000 sqft yards in one pass; well-matched to compact lots. |
| ¼ – ½ acre | Depends1,000-2,000 sqft range is the 115H design target; 2,000 sqft edges the 60-minute runtime ceiling with one-pass coverage. |
| Over ½ acre | Poor60-minute runtime does not cover yards over 2,500 sqft in one mowing cycle; multi-pass operation required. |
| Terrain | |
| Mostly flat | GoodOptimal operating condition; manufacturer specs and owner reports show consistent performance on level yards. |
| Gentle slopes | DependsRated to 20% slope per manufacturer documentation; steeper grades may cause traction loss and uphill stalling. |
| Steep / hilly | PoorManufacturer documentation does not support operation above 20% gradient; owner reports document traction failure on steeper terrain. |
| Grass type | |
| Typical lawn grass | GoodDesigned for typical cool-season and warm-season turf; perennial ryegrass, fescue, and Bermuda all perform within spec. |
| Mixed / tall growth | DependsCutting deck height adjusts to 50 mm maximum; tall fescue and some native grasses may exceed cutting reach; multiple passes improve appearance. |
| Thick (Bermuda / Zoysia) | DependsDense turf increases motor load and blade dulling frequency; weekly blade inspection recommended in high-density stands. |
| Boundary setup | |
| Wireless required | PoorBuried boundary wire is mandatory; no GPS or wireless boundary option available on the 115H. |
| Wire required | GoodWire-based perimeter is the sole positioning method; perimeter installation (2-4 hours) is a standard prerequisite. |
| No preference | GoodWire-guided operation works for any boundary preference; no wireless requirement complicates setup decision. |
A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
What the score is built from.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.

How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
These robots share no measured specification with enough published figures to plot. That is a gap in the record, not a finding about the robots.
What the numbers leave out.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Husqvarna Automower 115H
Wire confinement trades flexibility for reliability. Rewiring costs $200-500 per expansion; GPS-free positioning never strays but never adapts to layout changes without manual installation.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Husqvarna Automower 115H
- Yards needing a wire-free boundary setup
- Buried boundary wire is mandatory. GPS-only operation is not available on the 115H. Households unable or unwilling to install perimeter wire should skip this model.
- Yards with slopes past 30 percent, or steep ground where the wire runs
- Husqvarna rates the 115H at 30 percent slope inside the working area and 15 percent at the boundary wire, so a bank the mower crosses mid-lawn can still be too steep where the wire has to sit. Owner reports describe traction loss and uphill stalling on wet grass near those limits.
- Properties beyond the rated 0.4 acre
- The rating is 0.4 acre plus or minus 20 percent. A lawn past that is a case for a higher-capacity model rather than for longer schedules. Enlarging the mowed area within the rating still means lifting and re-laying wire sections.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Husqvarna Automower 115H
- Weekly: Clear debris and inspect charging contacts.
- Every 4-6 weeks: Replace the blades as a set of three with fresh screws (15-30 USD per set). They are flip-and-replace razors rather than items to sharpen; grinding an edge back thins the blade and strips its coating on a machine that runs unattended.
- Seasonally: Boundary wire inspection for breaks and corrosion (repair kits 10-20 USD).
- Annually: Charging station cleaning and contact maintenance; battery health check.
- Before winter: Clean the mower, charge the battery fully, and store the mower and charging station indoors in freeze climates.
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
| Robot | Evidence status | Sources reviewed | Last assessed |

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
