Compare Mowers
List prices are the manufacturer’s published figures, re-checked daily; they exclude tax, freight and dealer setup.
A side-by-side reference of each model's stated specifications. MowerFacts doesn’t give opinions: where a published, spec-derived rule can separate machines we mark a Data Pick and show the rule; here, read the values and decide what fits your needs.

What each model is built for, from its duty class and key specs. This is a neutral reference — MowerFacts does not rank one model above another.
- Husqvarna Automower 308V — residential: typical home lawns; 9-inch deck; battery (no fuel or engine maintenance)
- Kress Kress RTKⁿ ¼-acre robotic lawn mower — residential: typical home lawns; 8-inch deck; battery (no fuel or engine maintenance)
What’s different? The 4 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Automower 308V is rated for 0.20 acres (800 m²) of lawn; Kress RTKⁿ ¼-acre robotic lawn mower is rated for 0.25 acres (1,012 m²) of lawn, a 0.05 acres difference. The rated lawn area is the maker's figure under its own test conditions. Obstacles, slopes and complex shapes reduce it.
- Automower 308V weighs 22 lbs (9.9 kg); Kress RTKⁿ ¼-acre robotic lawn mower weighs 26 lbs (12 kg), a 5 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Automower 308V's weight means for a trailer ›
- Automower 308V has a 8.7 in (220 mm) deck; Kress RTKⁿ ¼-acre robotic lawn mower has a 7.9 in (200 mm) deck, a 0.8 in difference. Deck width sets how much grass each pass covers. Mowing time also depends on ground speed, turns and obstacles, so a wider deck alone does not fix the job's length. Time both decks on your own lawn ›
- Automower 308V is rated at 63 dB; Kress RTKⁿ ¼-acre robotic lawn mower is rated at 59 dB, a 4 dB difference.
