This list is for owners of small to medium lawns who want a wire free mower without flagship prices. A mower qualifies if its price was under $1,500 when we last checked it. Prices move often, so confirm the current price, and check that your lawn fits the rated area and slope, since budget models have narrower cuts and shorter runs. How we score.
Cheapest AWD wire free mower for small lawns up to 0.15 acre
The cheapest AWD wire free mower on this list, rated for 0.15 acre and 45% slopes per the brand's specs. Its cut is a narrow 7.1 in and it mows about an hour per charge. It is not ranked yet because we found no independent test results to score it on.
Compact AWD mower with network RTK for lawns up to 0.25 acre
The same small AWD mower as the i206 with a battery twice the size, rated for 0.25 acre and 45% slopes. It keeps the narrow 7.1 in cut, and Segway does not publish runtime in minutes. It is not ranked yet because we found no independent test results to score it on.
Budget network RTK and vision mulching mower for 0.37 acre
Pairs network RTK with camera navigation, a 60% working slope and a swappable battery for about $50 more than the i210. Bob Vila named it Best Bang for the Buck but found setup frustrating and narrow sections hard. It is not ranked yet because that review gave no numeric score to rank it on.
Ranked by our score: independent test results plus value for money. Affiliate links never change the order. Prices are checked daily and can change.
