Budget RTK mower for quarter acre yards with slopes up to 45%
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 26, 2026
SCORED
We started tracking this price on Oct 26, 2026 and have not found a past sale price yet, so we cannot say if $1,000 is a good deal. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 31 days away, when robots in this category usually get their biggest cuts. Get a price drop alert.
One of the cheapest RTK mowers from a big brand, and Consumer Reports gave it a Smart Buy badge. It suits a quarter acre yard with open sky for the RTK station. Skip it for bigger lawns or if you want the cut height set from the app.
Best for: quarter acre yards on a budget. Skip if: your lawn is over 1/4 acre.
