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’s different? The 5 differences that matter most, from the published figures.
  1. Automower 435X AWD NERA with wire free technology is rated for 1.24 acres (5,000 m²) of lawn; Automower 305 is rated for 0.15 acres (600 m²) of lawn, a 1.09 acres difference. The rated lawn area is the maker's figure under its own test conditions. Obstacles, slopes and complex shapes reduce it.
  2. Automower 435X AWD NERA with wire free technology ships with a 8 Ah battery; Automower 305 ships with a 2.1 Ah battery, a 5.9 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.
  3. Automower 435X AWD NERA with wire free technology weighs 40 lbs (18.1 kg); Automower 305 weighs 21 lbs (9.4 kg), a 19 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Automower 435X AWD NERA with wire free technology's weight means for a trailer ›
  4. Automower 435X AWD NERA with wire free technology runs 145 min per charge; Automower 305 runs 60 min per charge, a 85 min difference. Stated run time is under the maker's conditions. Thick or wet grass shortens it.
  5. Automower 435X AWD NERA with wire free technology is rated for slopes to 70%; Automower 305 is rated for slopes to 40%, a 30 points difference. The slope rating is the maker's limit for safe operation, not a measure of performance.
