Every robot mower sold in the UK, compared on the things that matter in a real garden: lawn size, slopes, trees, signal and total cost. Specs from the manufacturers, prices from UK retailers, advice in plain English.
No wire and no base station, all-wheel drive with an 80% slope rating, full edge cutting, a three-year warranty and three years of 4G data included. It covers more UK garden types than anything else near its price.

How big is your lawn?
Rated areas are optimistic, so we match your lawn to mowers with headroom, then narrow down by slopes, trees and signal.
For many UK lawns a robot mower is worth it: it takes mowing off your to-do list from spring to autumn and keeps the grass consistently short. It's a poorer buy for very small or very complicated gardens, lawns in heavy daytime use, or if the upfront cost would stretch you. Here's how to decide.
Perimeter-wire mowers are cheaper for a given lawn size and don't depend on satellite or mobile signal, but the wire takes effort to lay and can be cut. Wire-free mowers are quicker to set up and easy to change, and mow in neat lines, but depend on a clear sky view, mobile or Wi-Fi coverage, or cameras and LiDAR. Here's how to choose.
Wire-free robot mowers find their way using satellite positioning (RTK), cameras, LiDAR, or a mix. RTK is precise on open lawns but weak under trees and beside tall buildings; cameras need light and a visible lawn edge; LiDAR measures fixed features and works in the dark but needs something to measure against. Hybrids combine them. Here's how each works and which suits your garden.
Choosing a robot lawn mower has become harder, not easier. There are now wired mowers, wire-free mowers with RTK, network RTK over 4G, cameras, LiDAR and combinations of all of them, sold by traditional garden brands and by newer technology companies. Rated areas are calculated differently from brand to brand, slope figures are quoted in percentages most people can't picture, and a mower that suits an open lawn can struggle in a garden full of trees.
easymower exists to make that comparison straightforward for UK buyers.
Independent and complete. We cover every robot mower currently sold in the UK, from budget wired models to large all-wheel-drive machines. No brand pays to be included or ranked.
Sourced specifications. Every figure on the site comes from the manufacturer's own pages, spec sheets or manuals, and links back to its source. Where a brand's marketing and its own small print disagree, we point it out.
Live UK prices. We check prices at UK retailers and manufacturer stores several times a day and show price history, so you can see whether a "deal" really is one.
Advice for UK gardens. Our guides are written for British conditions: small plots next to houses, mature trees, wet springs, clay soil, hedgehogs and patchy rural mobile signal.
We should be clear about one thing. We haven't tested these mowers hands-on yet. Our verdicts and scores are desk-based judgements from specifications, manuals and warranty terms, and every page says so. Our method is published in full on how we score. When we do test mowers ourselves, those pages will be clearly marked.
