Best Robot Lawn Mowers for Small Lawns

A small lawn does not need a big robot. These models are rated for lawns up to about 1,000 m² (a quarter acre), starting with the lowest list price.

How this list is ranked. Models whose maker rates them for 1,000 m² (about 10,700 sq ft) or less, ordered by the maker's list price, lowest first. We list at most two robots per brand and only models not ruled out of the US market. Every figure is the maker's claim, not a test result. How we collect data.
