Sizing up walk-behind and robotic mowers
For a lawn under a couple of acres, a walk-behind or robot can be the sensible choice. The two types ask for very different things from you. Walk-behind machines suit tidy lawns and tight beds, and robots suit open turf that you would rather not mow at all. Each saves time in a different way, so start from your lawn's shape and slope.
- Deck width
- Push and self-propelled mowers list a cutting width in inches. Wider ones finish sooner but are harder to store.
- Drive and propulsion
- Self-propelled drive helps on slopes and long mows. Rear-wheel and all-wheel versions handle grass differently.
- Battery or gas
- Battery mowers list voltage and amp-hours, and runtime varies with grass height. Gas models add a tank to fill.
- Robot boundary
- Robotic units need a wire or a mapped area. Check the rated area, the slope percentage and the app features.
- Lift and tilt sensors
- On robots, sensors and a PIN lock matter for safety. If the listing does not state them, we say so.
