Which robotic mower suits a 1,000 m² lawn?
The short answer: for a simple, open 1,000 m² lawn, a mower rated for 1,000 m² can be enough. If the lawn is split into zones, has trees and narrow passages or slopes, choose a model rated for 1,200 to 1,500 m² so it isn't working at its limit.
Is your lawn really 1,000 m²?
Many people quote their block size. A typical 1,000 m² block may have far less grass once the house, driveway, paths and garden beds are removed. Measure the mowable area itself; it may put you in a smaller and less expensive category.
Why headroom matters
Rated lawn areas are manufacturer figures for good conditions. Husqvarna publishes lower figures for irregular mowing than for systematic, striped mowing, and every brand's real-world coverage drops on complex lawns because the mower spends more time travelling between zones and around obstacles. A margin of 20% to 50% keeps mowing frequent enough for an even cut.

How to narrow it down
- Slopes over 50%: look at the AWD models rated to 80%.
- Trees, walls or covered areas: consider models that use LiDAR or vision as well as satellite positioning.
- A stable layout and no objection to installing wire: a boundary-wire model such as the 310E NERA is an established option.
- Several separate lawns: check multi-zone support and how the mower travels between zones.
The Mower Finder starts with a 500 to 1,000 m² lawn pre-selected and adds your slope, layout, boundary and budget. You can also compare models side by side.
