What’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
- Automower 430X NERA with wire free technology is rated for 1.19 acres (4,800 m²) of lawn; Automower 305E NERA is rated for 0.22 acres (900 m²) of lawn, a 0.96 acres difference. The rated lawn area is the maker's figure under its own test conditions. Obstacles, slopes and complex shapes reduce it.
- Automower 430X NERA with wire free technology ships with a 5 Ah battery; Automower 305E NERA ships with a 2 Ah battery, a 3 Ah difference. Amp-hours is stored energy at the pack's voltage. Run time also depends on load, so a bigger pack lasts longer under the same conditions, not a fixed time.
- Automower 430X NERA with wire free technology runs 100 min per charge; Automower 305E NERA runs 50 min per charge, a 50 min difference. Stated run time is under the maker's conditions. Thick or wet grass shortens it.
- Automower 430X NERA with wire free technology is rated for slopes to 50%; Automower 305E NERA is rated for slopes to 30%, a 20 points difference. The slope rating is the maker's limit for safe operation, not a measure of performance.
