Want to upgrade my robot mower, DON'T want Husqvarna.

Hello.

Does anyone have recommendation for a robot mower that can handle between 1 to 3 acres, has GPS (prefer to not use the extra antenna for exact GPS positioning, but that is not a deal breaker.) Flexible mowing areas that can be programed beyond the advertised limit, can handle steeper areas, but I can probably program it to avoid the walls where there is grass, and RELIABLE.

I DON'T want...

Husqvarna. My experience with the 315X and 430X has left a bad taste in my mouth.
The unreliable loop wire, the not using the guide wires to the full extent, and the backward hinge on the charging station are just bad.
Maybe the newer ones are OK, but I want to try something else.

It did have the advantage that I could enclose more then the advertised area. For example, the 315X is advertised to do 1/3 acre, but I had it doing over an acre just fine.


Mammotion Luba. I really like the GSP setup, but it has one deal breaking fault. The area is limited in software.
Getting the one acre version just will not allow you to program 1.2 acres.
I'm sure that is marketing thing, but it bounces them out of the market.

Thanks, Mark

How much does a good, reliable robot mower (including setup costs) cost that will effectively mow 3 acres?
