The robot mower market has moved past the buried boundary wire. Every model on this page maps your lawn from an app using RTK satellite positioning, LiDAR, cameras, or a mix. Below we sort current models by the job they’re built for, using only the brands’ own specs and US store prices.
Short version: Small, simple yard on a budget? Look at the Anthbot Genie or Navimow i2 AWD. Trees and tight side yards? A LiDAR model like the Mammotion YUKA mini 2 or Navimow i215 LiDAR. Steep hills? Only the Mammotion LUBA family (80%) and Navimow X4 (84%) state slopes above 45%. Not sure? Use the yard sizing calculator.
How we built this list
We didn’t test these mowers. We compared brand-stated rated area, maximum slope and navigation type, and the price on each brand’s official US store on October 24, 2026. Several prices are temporary sales (compare-at prices noted). Pick a model rated for at least ~20% more area than your lawn (our rule of thumb; see About).

Best value for open, simple lawns: Anthbot Genie
Anthbot Genie (600 / 1000 / 3000)
- Price checked Oct 24, 2026: Genie 600 (0.22 acre) $799, 600e with 4G $699, Genie 1000 (0.49 acre) $799, Genie 3000 (0.89 acre) $899, all marked down from listed compare-at prices.
- Brand-stated specs: RTK positioning plus 300° vision, 45% (24°) slope “from Anthbot Lab”, IPX6, operating noise within 58 dB.
- Fits: open lawns with good sky view where you want the most rated area per dollar. At these sale prices the larger Genie 3000 costs only $100 more than the 1000.
- Watch for: it relies on RTK, so heavily treed yards are a weaker fit; check the listing for how its RTK reference station is set up.

Best for mixed yards: fusion navigation
If you have both open lawn and treed corners, models that combine LiDAR with RTK hedge against each one’s weak spot: the Navimow H2 ($1,799 / $2,199), Mammotion LUBA 3 and Anthbot M9 Pro ($1,399, 1,000 m², 45%, per Anthbot). Learn why in wire-free vs boundary wire.
Before you buy
- Measure your grass, not your lot. A free satellite map tool works.
- Find your steepest spot. A 1 ft rise over 4 ft is a 25% grade.
- Count zones and check the passages between them.
- Check ongoing costs. Navimow lists its Connect+ service at $32.90/year after the free period; Mammotion sells 4G service at $49.90/year; Anthbot lists 4G at $39.99/year (all checked Oct 24, 2026). Ask each brand what stops working without it.
- Confirm the price on the brand page. Sales here may have ended.
Mower prices and stock change weekly. We’ll re-check this page regularly and update the date at the top.
