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.
- Automower 540 EPOS is rated for 1.98 acres (8,000 m²) of lawn; Automower 305 is rated for 0.15 acres (600 m²) of lawn, a 1.83 acres difference. The rated lawn area is the maker's figure under its own test conditions. Obstacles, slopes and complex shapes reduce it.
- Automower 540 EPOS weighs 37 lbs (16.7 kg); Automower 305 weighs 21 lbs (9.4 kg), a 16 lbs difference. Operating weight bears on trailer payload, ramps and soft turf. On its own it says nothing about build quality. What Automower 540 EPOS's weight means for a trailer ›
- Automower 540 EPOS ships with a 4 Ah battery; Automower 305 ships with a 2.1 Ah battery, a 1.9 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.
- Automower 540 EPOS runs 85 min per charge; Automower 305 runs 60 min per charge, a 25 min difference. Stated run time is under the maker's conditions. Thick or wet grass shortens it.
- Automower 540 EPOS has a 10.2 in (260 mm) deck; Automower 305 has a 8.7 in (220 mm) deck, a 1.6 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 ›
