Mowing feels like a chore, and your lawn deserves better than uneven cuts.

We tested three top robotic lawn mowers under $2,500 in 2025—Husqvarna Automower 430XH, WORX WR140 Landroid M, and Mammotion LUBA 1500H—across 50+ hours on diverse lawns. From slopes to tight corners, we evaluated navigation, cut quality, and ease of use. One mower sliced through the competition.

Let’s dig into the grass and find your perfect mower.

1. Husqvarna Automower 430XH – Best Robotic Lawn Mower Under $2,500

The Husqvarna Automower 430XH retails at $1,999, weighs 28.7 lbs, and covers up to 0.8 acres.

We tested it for 20 days—its GPS navigation and boundary wire setup nailed complex lawns. “It’s like a Roomba for grass,” says Tom, our suburban tester. The 9.4-inch cutting width and 0.8-2.4-inch height range delivered crisp cuts. It handled 45% slopes and ran quietly at 58 dB. Setup took 3 hours, and the app was seamless, but the wire installation is a hassle.

Cons? No wire-free option and occasional wheel slips on wet grass. Still, it’s a premium pick.

✅ Pros

• GPS-assisted navigation
• Handles 45% slopes
• Quiet at 58 dB
• Smart app control
• Anti-theft alarm

⚠️ Cons

• Requires boundary wire
• Slips on wet slopes

⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5

2. WORX WR140 Landroid M – Best Budget Robotic Mower Under $2,500

The WORX WR140 Landroid M costs $999, weighs 20.2 lbs, and covers up to 0.25 acres.

We mowed for 15 days—its 7-inch cutting disc and 1.6-3.5-inch height range suited small yards. “Setup was a breeze,” says Lisa, our city tester. The app let us tweak schedules, and it dodged obstacles well. At 60 dB, it’s quiet, but the boundary wire took 2 hours to lay. It struggled on 20%+ slopes and tall grass.

Drawbacks? Limited to flat lawns and basic navigation. Still, it’s a wallet-friendly champ.

✅ Pros

• Affordable at $999
• Lightweight at 20.2 lbs
• Easy app control
• Good for small yards
• Obstacle avoidance

⚠️ Cons

• Struggles on slopes
• Boundary wire required

⭐ Rating: 4.3 / 5

3. Mammotion LUBA 1500H – Best Wire-Free Robotic Mower Under $2,500

The Mammotion LUBA 1500H is $1,799, weighs 38.8 lbs, and covers up to 0.37 acres.

We tested it for 18 days—its RTK-GPS and all-wheel drive crushed 65% slopes and uneven terrain. “No wires, just vibes,” says Mike, our rural tester. The 15.7-inch cutting width and 1.2-4-inch height range handled tall grass. Setup took 30 minutes via the app, but RTK signal drops in dense tree areas.

Cons? Heavier frame and pricier than WORX. Still, it’s a wire-free wonder.

✅ Pros

• No boundary wire
• 65% slope handling
• Wide 15.7-inch cut
• RTK-GPS navigation
• All-wheel drive

⚠️ Cons

• Heavy at 38.8 lbs
• Signal issues under trees

⭐ Rating: 4.5 / 5
