Lymow

Husqvarna
Up to three
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.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | Lymow One Plus | Automower 430V NERA |
|---|---|---|
| Yard size | ||
| Under ¼ acre | Good1,000–10,000 sqft yards are ideal; minimal setup overhead, full charge handles multiple runs. | GoodRated for 4,800 m², so a small lawn is well within its capacity. |
| ¼ – ½ acre | Good10,000–21,780 sqft (0.5 acre) handled in one to two passes per charge cycle. | GoodA quarter to half acre is well inside Husqvarna's 4,800 m² rating for pattern mowing. |
| Over ½ acrethey differ | DependsYards over 21,780 sqft require multiple charge cycles or segment mowing; RTK boundary recalibration overhead per session. | GoodTrusted Reviews ran it on a near 1.5-acre garden split into two zones. |
| Terrain | ||
| Mostly flat | Good0–5% slopes ideal; RTK positioning and track drive deliver maximum efficiency. | GoodTrusted Reviews rated general navigation excellent and the overall cut excellent on its test lawns. |
| Gentle slopes | Good5–20% gradients supported; track drive excels on wet slopes where rotary mowers slip. | GoodTrusted Reviews saw it handle slopes within its 50% rating once the map was adjusted. |
| Steep / hilly | DependsRated to 25% gradient; traction loss and tipover risk increase above 20% on wet soil. Test boundary zones first. | DependsOn the hilliest ground it dug up grass when turning and once slipped past a boundary. |
| Grass type | ||
| Typical lawn grass | GoodFescue, bluegrass, zoysia, Bermuda. Typical cool and warm-season grasses handled efficiently. | GoodTrusted Reviews found a brilliant maintenance cut, with fine clippings mulching back into the lawn. |
| Mixed / tall growth | DependsTall fescue and bahiagrass over 4 inches require pre-season mowing or mulching to avoid blade clogging. | DependsTrusted Reviews advises starting with a high cut and lowering it gradually rather than cutting long grass at once. |
| Thick (Bermuda / Zoysia) | DependsDense St. Augustine or thick Bermuda increase blade wear and power draw; shorter mowing intervals needed. | DependsNo test in thick or dense turf was found for its 24 cm cut. |
| Boundary setup | ||
| Wireless required | GoodVirtual RTK boundary is native; no perimeter wire required or supported. | GoodEPOS virtual boundaries need no wire or reference station where mobile or Wi-Fi coverage is good. |
| Wire required | PoorLymow One Plus uses RTK virtual boundaries only; no buried-wire fallback available. | PoorHusqvarna lists virtual boundaries as the only boundary type, so there is no wired installation. |
| No preference | GoodWire-free operation is the design; no preference needed. Any yard compatible with RTK signals works well. | GoodIts wire-free setup meets a buyer with no boundary preference. |
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.
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.
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.
Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Noise.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Wire-free RTK ships with its antenna and mounting hardware in the box, so there is no separate base station to purchase. Setup moves from wire burial to antenna placement and signal calibration.
Rubber tracks hold slopes and wet grass that wheeled mowers slip on, at the cost of a 78 lb machine to move, transport and store.
Camera-assisted navigation: the front camera feeds obstacle avoidance and an in-app live view. Lymow has not published what is retained or uploaded.
AI obstacle avoidance skirts trees and toys neatly, but also reads twigs and leaves as obstacles and leaves patches uncut.
A fixed transport path keeps zones connected, yet repeating it wore a visible track into the lawn in dry weather.
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

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.
