Best Robot Lawn Mowers Under $1,000

A robot mower for under a thousand dollars exists, but the cheap ones often need a boundary wire. Here they are, with what each maker claims.

How this list is ranked. Models with a maker's list price between $1 and $1,000, ordered by the largest lawn the maker claims. 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.
