## 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](https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/husqvarna-automower-435x-awd)
- 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](https://www.pcworld.com/article/578905/husqvarna-automower-435x-awd-review.html)

### Mammotion LUBA 2 AWD 3000HX

- New Atlas: Tested the 3000HX for about a month: 17.44 miles in 33 h 22 min across 10 zones (14,445 sq ft), farthest zone 271 ft from the RTK base. It got stuck about a dozen times, twice truly high centered, until a firmware update. Very quiet, but it paused for a semi truck and does not recognize pet waste. [Source](https://newatlas.com/around-the-home/mammotion-luba-2-awd-3000-review)
- TechRadar: Tested the LUBA 2 AWD 1000 for three weeks with an Editor's Choice award. RTK held 20 to 26 satellites near tall trees and cut straight stripes, at 60 dB. One stop near a border bush was fixed by remapping. The app was called complex. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/small-appliances/mammotion-luba-2-awd-robot-lawn-mower-review)
