Robot mower listings start at €4.55 and reach €1,227.74, with typical entry prices at €99.94. Across the whole site, starting prices sit at €95. Prices are listed per model, so a robot mower and a chainsaw land at very different points.

Navigation in this ranking splits between boundary wire at 60% and vision at 53.3%, with RTK GPS at 46.7% and lidar at 13.3%. Boundary wire is the most common setup in the listings, and gardens with complicated edges point the same way.
