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 | Stiga A 15v |
|---|---|
| Yard size | |
| Under ¼ acre | GoodA hands-on review recommends it specifically as a good choice for smaller gardens, well inside its 16,146 sq ft rated ceiling. |
| ¼ – ½ acre | Good16,146 sq ft of rated coverage, run across up to 20 zones, comfortably reaches into this bracket. |
| Over ½ acre | DependsThe independent test names it a good choice for smaller gardens; the 16,146 sq ft ceiling sits below this range's upper end. |
| Terrain | |
| Mostly flat | Good45 percent slope handling gives comfortable headroom over flat, level ground. |
| Gentle slopes | GoodA 45 percent slope rating is high for a camera-navigated mower this size, well suited to gentle hillside sections. |
| Steep / hilly | Depends45 percent is the rated ceiling, and no independent test of steep-slope performance exists for this new model yet. |
| Grass type | |
| Typical lawn grass | GoodThe striped mowing pattern one reviewer observed, with no strips left standing, is built around typical turf grass. |
| Mixed / tall growth | DependsNo coverage evidence addresses mixed or overgrown growth specifically; the striped pattern is documented on regular turf grass only. |
| Thick (Bermuda / Zoysia) | DependsAn 18 cm cutting width with no documented blade-power figures means more passes across dense Bermuda or Zoysia growth. |
| Boundary setup | |
| Wireless required | GoodSTIGA Vista pairs a camera with GPS-RTK to register the perimeter in-app, with no wire or antenna to install. |
| Wire required | PoorThere is no wired boundary option; the perimeter is registered entirely through camera and RTK positioning in the app. |
| No preference | GoodBoundary setup is wire-free regardless of preference, registered through the app with no antenna or wire to bury. |
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.
Stiga A 15v
Camera-plus-RTK positioning removes the wire and the RTK antenna’s clear-sky requirement, but deep shade and low-sun performance have no published record for this camera-led system.
A direct hands-on review calls the striped cut pattern optimal and complete, yet also recommends it specifically for smaller gardens, a narrower endorsement than its 16,146 sq ft rating implies.
Ten years of included connectivity removes a subscription obligation most 4G-connected mowers carry, though the machine is only five months into a field record too short to establish a reliability pattern.
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.
Stiga A 15v
- Lawns over roughly 16,000 square feet
- The independent test recommends it specifically for smaller gardens, and the rated ceiling of 16,146 sq ft sits well under larger properties' actual needs in a single charge cycle.
- Deeply shaded yards or heavy tree cover
- Camera-led navigation has no published behavior for deep shade or low sun, and no independent record exists yet for how it performs when a camera is starved for light.
- Buyers wanting a proven multi-year reliability record
- Launched in March 2026, the field record runs under five months, and no independent failure pattern of any kind has had time to accumulate for this specific model.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Stiga A 15v
- Weekly: Clean the blades and check their efficiency, replacing any that are bent or worn (12-blade kit, art. 1127-0009-01); STIGA’s table sets this at weekly or every 50 operating hours.
- Weekly: Clean oxidation off the recharging contacts and wipe the camera module lens with a soft cloth only; brushes, scrapers and solvents scratch the glass.
- Monthly: Clean the whole mower with a sponge, lukewarm water and neutral soap (never a pressure jet), and have the charging base and power cables checked for wear; documented as monthly or every 100 operating hours.
- Annually: Carry out the servicing at an authorized service centre; STIGA states malfunctions traced to a skipped annual service are not covered under warranty.
- Seasonally: For winter, run the app’s hibernation wizard to register the pre-storage charge (required for the battery warranty), remove the safety key, and store the mower horizontal, dry and protected from ice; recharge at least every 6 months in storage.
- As needed: Battery replacement goes through STIGA technical assistance staff, not the owner; contact a service centre when working range shrinks.
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.

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.
