What we can tell you is that, with one exception, every other robot mower Consumer tested rated in the range no higher than 84 points and down to 56 points - all far, far below our 92 point average across our three models. In fact, the average rating for those 13 other models from 7 different manufacturers was just 72 points (a massive 20 points below Navimow).
Navimow is the world's #1 wire-free robotic lawn mower by volume sales for good reason.
