Make it easy: It climbs banks that would stop a push mower and keeps its position under trees, so the awkward parts of the yard get cut without you doing them. Set the schedule and it works the whole property, hills included.

What we like

  • 80% slope with genuine all wheel drive, the highest rating of any mower we list
  • LiDAR, RTK and cameras together, so tree cover does not stop it the way it stops RTK-only machines
  • 0.75 acres of coverage, and larger trims go to 1.25 acres
  • Connectivity cost recently moved in the buyer's favour, see the subscription note

What could be better

  • The aggressive AWD tires can dig up turf on tight turns, which reviewers have documented
  • Mammotion states two different things about connectivity cost, see below
  • $2,499 is real money, and you are buying from a young company

Our verdict

This is the capability pick. An 80% slope rating with all wheel drive and three navigation systems means it handles yards that simply defeat the rest of the category, and if you have that yard, nothing cheaper will do. Two honest caveats. The tires dig into turf on tight turns, so expect some scuffing on corners. And the connectivity story is muddled: Mammotion has been reported as making its NetRTK and 4G free for the life of the device, retroactively, while its own LUBA 3 product page still advertises three years free and then a renewal. Buy on the assumption you may eventually pay for connectivity, and treat free-for-life as a bonus if it holds.

No monthly fee

This product works fully without any subscription or recurring cost.
