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 305E NERA is rated for 0.22 acres (900 m²) of lawn, a 1.75 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 ships with a 4 Ah battery; Automower 305E NERA ships with a 2 Ah battery, a 2 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 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.
- Automower 540 EPOS runs 85 min per charge; Automower 305E NERA runs 50 min per charge, a 35 min difference. Stated run time is under the maker's conditions. Thick or wet grass shortens it.
- Automower 540 EPOS weighs 37 lbs (16.7 kg); Automower 305E NERA weighs 28 lbs (12.6 kg), a 9 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 ›
