01 Classification
What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.

Any task, any setting

02 Assessment
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

04 Ownership
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Husqvarna Automower 405VE NERA
An infrared AI camera that works at night on a 900 m² mower, with no independent test yet of the 405VE itself.
Lymow One
The RTK base station, antenna, ground stake and mounting hardware ship in the box at the purchase price, so there is no separate infrastructure spend. What the setup costs instead is siting: a position with clear sky view and a power run within the supplied 10 m cord.
Mulching design eliminates visible clipping patterns and bagging option. Owners cannot switch between mulching and discharge on same mower.
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 405VE NERA
- Buyers who want independent test results first
- T3, Stuff and SmarthomeAssistent covered its launch, specs and pricing; no hands-on test of the 405VE was found.
- Steep lawns
- Husqvarna rates 30% slopes inside the installation and 20% at the boundary, below the 50% of the larger 430V and 450V.
- Lawns larger than 900 m²
- Husqvarna rates the 405VE for 900 m², and 600 m² in irregular mode; the 410VE covers 1,500 m².
- Buyers who want a wire boundary option
- Husqvarna's spec table lists virtual boundaries as the only boundary type for the 405VE NERA.
Lymow One
- Compact yards under 7,500 sqft
- A tracked RTK platform at this price is more machine than a small flat lawn needs. The base station ships in the box rather than as an add-on, so the objection is not infrastructure cost: it is that centimeter positioning and tracked traction go unused on minimal acreage where a wire-guided or vision-only mower covers the same ground.
- Properties with dense tree canopy or metal structures
- RTK positioning requires clear sky view for satellite signals. Extensive shade or nearby metal (gutters, fencing, vehicles) introduces multipath interference and occasional fix losses.
- Buyers requiring stripe-aesthetic lawn patterns
- Mulching blades leave no visible clipping windrows; the clippings go into the soil rather than lying on the surface, and with them goes the striped finish a side-discharge or bagging deck produces. Owners who want a patterned cut should look at non-mulching platforms.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Husqvarna Automower 405VE NERA
- As needed: Replace the pivoting razor blades on the two cutting discs; 6 spares come in the box.
- As needed: Adjust work areas and temporary stay-out zones in the Automower Connect app.
- As needed: Install firmware over the air through the app.
- As needed: Keep the front camera clear so object detection can work.
- Seasonally: Update schedules and cutting heights as grass growth changes.
Lymow One
- After every use (wet conditions): Hose undercarriage to clear mud and grass from track assembly; prevents clogging and ensures traction.
- Weekly: Track inspection for debris or clumped soil; clean drive sprockets and idler wheels.
- As blades dull or take damage: Replace the dual rotary blades as a set rather than singly; the mower runs SK5 steel blades at 6,000 rpm across a 16 in cutting width, and the blades are supplied and sold as a set.
- Monthly: RTK base station check; verify power supply and antenna alignment.
- Seasonally: Inspect track tensioner and adjust if wear is visible. Indoor storage in freezing climates recommended. Store the pack charged rather than run down, and check battery health before spring restart.
05 Evidence
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.
