Up to three

All multi-task robots. 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.

Area to clear or mow
Under ¼ acre GoodOne charge is rated for up to 6,000 square feet in one inch of snow, by the maker. GoodOne charge is rated for up to 7,000 square feet in one inch of snow, by the maker.
¼ – ½ acre DependsPaved area above 6,000 square feet takes more than one charge. It docks, recharges and resumes. DependsPaved area above 7,000 square feet takes more than one charge. A recharge to 80 percent takes about 90 minutes.
Over ½ acre DependsA long drive needs several charge cycles per storm. No independent test at this scale is held here. DependsA long drive needs several charge cycles per storm. No independent test at this scale is held here.
Terrain

Gentle slopes DependsRated for slopes up to 36 percent. That figure is the maker's, with no independent slope test yet. DependsRated for slopes up to 36 percent while clearing snow. The figure is the maker's, with no independent test.
Steep / hilly DependsThe rating stops at 36 percent, about 21 degrees. A steeper drive is outside the stated limit. DependsThe snow rating stops at 36 percent, about 20 degrees. A steeper drive is outside the stated limit.

Typical snowfall
Under 6 in a storm GoodWell under the 12 in maximum snow depth the maker rates. GoodWell under the 12 in intake height.
6 – 12 in a stormthey differ GoodInside the 12 in rated maximum. The 6,000 sq ft per charge figure is for 1 in of snow, so deeper snow covers less. DependsInside the 12 in intake height. A maximum clearing depth for this bundle is not verified.
Over 12 in a storm DependsAbove the 12 in rated maximum depth. Runs scheduled during the storm keep each pass shallower. Not verified. DependsDeeper than the 12 in intake. Runs scheduled during the storm keep each pass shallower. Not verified.

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.
