Fit snapshot

What to know before you buy

The strongest fit signals — and the things worth checking against your own lawn.

Strong fit for

Where this mower fits best

  • Smaller lawns, with recommended coverage up to 500 m².
Check first

Potential limitations

  • Requires a boundary wire, so it is a weaker fit if you want a fully wire-free installation.
  • Its terrain rating is moderate, so very uneven or rough ground should be checked separately.
  • Obstacle avoidance is rated basic, so gardens with many small or frequently changing objects deserve extra attention.

Lawn fit analysis

How this mower fits different lawns

Verified technical data translated into practical fit signals for common lawn conditions.

01

Compact lawns

Recommended coverage is up to 500 m². Treat that as the capacity target, not a guarantee for every lawn layout.

02

Slope & terrain

The verified core data combines stated max slope 35%, moderate terrain rating. That makes slope and terrain an important part of this mower’s fit profile.

03

Trees & buildings

Boundary wire is paired with a very obstruction tolerant rating, which strengthens its fit for more complicated visibility conditions.
