Yanko Design measured about 178 to 185 min for a 6,778 sq ft yard; 10A charger reaches 90% in about 90 min, the 5A version in about 150 min |

What reviewers found
Husqvarna Automower 435X AWD
- Tom's Guide: Tested on a front lawn sloping about 25°. The first unit threw collision and docking errors after a week and needed a motor replacement; the replacement ran flawlessly for two months, including through about 10 in of rain. Random cut pattern, very quiet. Source
- PCWorld: Three months of testing. Pro install took under an hour on a small yard. About 100 min runtime and 30 min recharge, rated 62 dB and barely audible, never left the perimeter. A dip in the yard had to be filled for an even cut. Source
Lymow One
- Yanko Design: Tested on a yard with 32 oak trees. About one hour from unboxing to first mow, mapped 6,778 sq ft, and a full mow took about 178 to 185 minutes. It climbed a 6 in stump, threw a track on a 6 in curb and recovered, and stopped quickly for a foot in its path. Cut matched a walk behind mower on St. Augustine grass. Source
- Freshly Charged: One week of backyard testing on a pre production unit. Cleared 2 in obstacles and small steps, never got stuck and left clean stripes in long grass. Noticeably louder than rivals (68 dB on the spec sheet) and hard to move at 77.6 lb. Source
