A robot lawn mower without a boundary wire can be a great help when taking care of one's garden. It automatically mows the grass to a desired height without having to lift a finger - all that's needed is setting up the robot lawn mower, which is usually done very quickly.
But what is the best robot lawn mower without a boundary wire in 2025? This list of the best options based on our own robot lawn mower reviews may give you the answer. We outline and describe the best models we tested in this list.
For the sake of clarity, the products are divided into three categories, specifically, robot lawn mowers for small areas - up to approx. 1,000 square meters, models for medium-sized lawns - between around 1,000 and 2,000 square meters, and lawn mowers for larger gardens - approx. 2,000 square meters.

The best robot lawn mowers for small areas (up to approx. 1,000 square meters)
Not everyone has a huge garden. However, robot lawn mowers without wires can prove their worth on smaller lawns, too.
Below are the best robot lawn mowers 2025 for smaller areas.
1st place: Segway Navimow i105E
The Navimow i105E from Segway makes it to the 1st spot in 2025 despite being a 2024 model. The product, which costs 989 euros (RRP), is designed to handle smaller areas of 600 square meters or less. (The manufacturer also offers the Navimow i108E, an almost identical model for lawns up to 960 square meters.)
The Navimow i105E impressed us with its many strengths last year and is now even better thanks to software updates.
The product's highlight features include obstacle detection, optional 4G LTE and a fairly compact design, as our in-depth Navimow i105E review has shown. Please note the location must allow for uninterrupted RTK use. Moreover, the Navimow is not particularly suitable for hilly terrains.
Segway's Navimow i105E is available from Amazon.de, among other options, and is usually priced well below the RRP. In short, this is a very good and also quite affordable robot mower for small gardens.
2nd place: Eufy E15 and E18
Not at all long ago, Anker entered the robot lawn mower market with a splash with its smart home brand Eufy. The company's Eufy E18 is designed for lawns of up to 1,200 square meters, whereas the Eufy E15 can mow up to 800 square meters of lawn.
Above all, the E15 and E18 stand out with their purely camera-based navigation, making them suitable for properties with many trees.
As the very first step, the lawn is mapped by the product's AI, which mostly worked well in our testing. The TerraMow S800/1200-based robot mowers also impressed us when it came to reliably recognizing and avoiding obstacles.
The recommended retail price for the Eufy E18 is 1,799 euros (available from Amazon.de, among other options). For the Eufy E15, it's 1,499 euros.
3rd place: Mova 1000
The Mova 1000, a Dreame product, is a little brother of the Dreame A1 Pro and designed for green spaces of up to 1,000 square meters. Below the two sits the Mova 600 that's designed for takino care of even smaller gardens.
Both Mova robot lawn mowers find their way using LiDAR and therefore make do without GNSS. Otherwise, they are very similar to the Dreame A1 (Pro).
In our testing, the Mova was able to find its way around the test lawn with no issues, with obstacle detection (up to a size of approximately 10 cm) working well. The product also comes with a sophisticated app and a reasonable price tag.
The RRP for the Mova 1000 is €1,199, but it can usually be purchased for less on Amazon.de and other e-commerce websites. The same applies to the cheaper Mova 600 (also available from Amazon.de affiliate link), which has an RRP of 899 euros.
The best robot lawn mowers for medium-sized lawns (up to approx. 2,000 square meters)
Listed below are the best robot lawn mowers 2025 for medium-sized lawns - from around 1,000 to approximately 2,000 square meters.
1st place: Ecovacs Goat A1600 RTK
No, it's not perfect, but the Goat A1600 RTK still managed to achieve the best overall rating of the robot mowers for medium-sized gardens that we tested. The model is designed for lawns up to approx. 1,600 square meters in size.
The Goat A1600 RTK from Ecovacs impressed us with its wide double mower deck and high mowing speed, among other benefits. It charges quickly, but is rather power-hungry.
The RTK and AI camera-based navigation worked reliably in Notebookcheck's Goat A1600 RTK review, as did obstacle detection. Thanks to its two mowing discs, the Ecovacs Goat mows quite close to the edge, even if there is still room for improvement here.
While the recommended retail price for the Goat A1600 RTK is 1,499 euros, the mower is already available for significantly less from Amazon.de and directly from Ecovacs.
2nd place: Mammotion Yuka 2025
Mammotion's Yuka (2025) is one of the most versatile robot lawn mowers. Several different versions are available; we put a Yuka 1000 through its paces whic is a model for areas up to 1,000 square meters. A version for 2,000 sq. meters (Amazon.de affiliate link) is available, too; then, there is the Yuka 3000 for lawns of up to 3,000 square meters that can be had directly from Mammotion among other options.
In addition to the pure mowing function, the Yuka can also be equipped with an optional sweeper. The robot lawn mower can then automatically collect leaves and freshly cut grass.
In addition to the optional special equipment, the improved 2025 version of the Yuka also scored points with its solid obstacle detection. Another useful feature is that it can find its way without an RTK antenna via NetRTK.
In Germany, the 2025 Yuka starts at 1,399 euros (RRP).
3rd place: Dreame A1 Pro
With the A1 Pro, Dreame 2025 has an improved version of its debut lawn mower, the A1 from 2024. The original product was underwhelming but this year's offerings are not (the statement applies not just to the A2 but to the A1 Pro as well.
The more sophisticated Dreame A1 Pro exclusively uses LiDAR to navigate the lawn and therefore does not need GNSS RTK reception.
The Pro version of Dreame's wireless robot lawn mower doesn't do everything perfectly and is limited due to the lack of cameras; this directly affects obstacle detection, among other things. On the other hand, it can easily do without GNSS/RTK reception as our tests revealed. It reliably found its way through the test garden.
With a recommended retail price of 1,599 euros, the Dreame A1 Pro is a quite affordable option for areas smaller than 2,000 square meters. It tends to be available for less than that on Amazon Germany and from certain other e-tailers.
The best robot lawn mowers for large gardens (2,000 square meters or more)
Below are the best robot lawn mowers without a boundary wire for large lawns of approx. 2,000 square meters or more. The list only includes models that we have tested in 2025 and 2024.
1st place: Navimow X3 (X315 tested)
For those looking to get huge gardens under control, Segway's Navimow X3 is currently the king, our testing shows.
We tested the smaller X315 model suitable for areas up to 1,500 square meters. However, the X3 series comprises a total of five models all the way up to the X390 that can handle a maximum of 10,000 square meters. Fleet operation is also an option here, meaning even extremely large areas can be taken care of.
A highlight feature of the product is the optional side-mounted cutting/mowing module that's set to become available very soon and may solve what is probably the biggest problem with robotic mowers.
Among other things, the Navimow X3 impressed us with its precise RTK navigation, reliable obstacle detection and (if desired) higher speed mode, increasing the area processed per hour. The X3 is available from various stores and its RRP is 2,499 euros.
2nd place: Dreame A2
The A2 has to directly compete with the Navimow X3 in our ranking. The A2 is the successor to last year's A1.
Its sliding mower deck, which almost enables edge-to-edge mowing, is particularly impressive. The competition can take a leaf out of Dreame's book.
It scores points with its mowing performance, obstacle detection and setup ease, including AI area mapping. Thanks to its LiDAR and AI camera, it does not need RTK at all. This is one of the best robot mowers available in 2025 for gardens up to approximately 3,000 square meters, our testing shows.
Considering its performance and feature set (as compared to the competition), the A2 is not all that expensive with a recommended retail price of 2,499 euros. Besides, it is already available for less from Amazon.de among other options.
3rd place: Kärcher RCX 6
The 3rd best robot mower for large gardens that we know of is Kärcher's RCX 6. Although certain things did not go perfectly smoothly in our testing, ultimately, the product delivered a more than solid performance on the lawn.
The RCX 6 particularly impressed us with its climbing ability. It is therefore our pick for gardens with big slopes.
It scores further plus points with its impressive cutting width thanks to its double mower deck. Obstacle detection performs well. With a recommended retail price of 3,299 euros, Kärcher's robot lawn mower is no bargain, however, it can usually be had for considerably less from Amazon.de and other e-tailers.
