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.

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.

Fit verdicts by condition for each robot
Condition Stiga A 15v Automower 312V
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. GoodRated for 1,200 m², a little more than a quarter acre, so smaller lawns are covered.
¼ – ½ acrethey differ Good16,146 sq ft of rated coverage, run across up to 20 zones, comfortably reaches into this bracket. DependsHusqvarna's 1,200 m² rating covers only the smaller end of a quarter to half acre.
Over ½ acrethey differ DependsThe independent test names it a good choice for smaller gardens; the 16,146 sq ft ceiling sits below this range's upper end. PoorLawns over half an acre are well beyond Husqvarna's 1,200 m² rating for the 312V.
Terrain
Mostly flat Good45 percent slope handling gives comfortable headroom over flat, level ground. GoodA hands-on review found the cut quality excellent once the mower was configured on its lawns.
Gentle slopes GoodA 45 percent slope rating is high for a camera-navigated mower this size, well suited to gentle hillside sections. GoodT3's lawn is far from flat after mole damage, and the 312V coped with it well.
Steep / hilly Depends45 percent is the rated ceiling, and no independent test of steep-slope performance exists for this new model yet. DependsHusqvarna rates 40% inside the lawn but 15% at the boundary, and no steep test was found.
Grass type
Typical lawn grass GoodThe striped mowing pattern one reviewer observed, with no strips left standing, is built around typical turf grass. GoodA hands-on review rated the cut quality excellent and the cutting options highly versatile.
Mixed / tall growth DependsNo coverage evidence addresses mixed or overgrown growth specifically; the striped pattern is documented on regular turf grass only. DependsHusqvarna lists spiral cutting for uneven growth, but no long-grass test of the 312V was found.
Thick (Bermuda / Zoysia) DependsAn 18 cm cutting width with no documented blade-power figures means more passes across dense Bermuda or Zoysia growth. DependsNo test in thick or dense turf was found for its 22 cm cut.
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. GoodVirtual boundaries are set in the app, with no perimeter wire to lay.
Wire required PoorThere is no wired boundary option; the perimeter is registered entirely through camera and RTK positioning in the app. PoorHusqvarna lists virtual boundaries as the only boundary type, so there is no wired installation.
No preference GoodBoundary setup is wire-free regardless of preference, registered through the app with no antenna or wire to bury. GoodIts wire-free setup meets a no-preference buyer, provided Wi-Fi and open sky cover the lawn.

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.
