Niva is a comparison guide for robot mowers in Europe. Navigation first. Search data: Google Trends worldwide, 12 September 2026. The German query “Mähroboter” still outranks English generics.

    Criteria, not fake scores.

  2. 02Wired or wireless

    Wire still has volume. Wireless is where new brands grow.

  3. 03LiDAR or RTK

    Different systems. Do not mash them together.

Three steps to a model

First, measure the area actually mowed, excluding terrace, paths and beds. Second, decide whether a boundary cable is acceptable. Third, if going wire-free, choose between RTK and LiDAR according to your plot. That is enough to cut the catalogue down to a handful of models.

FAQ

What is a robot mower?

A robot mower stays inside a defined lawn, docks itself and cuts little and often. The boundary is a wire, RTK satellite or LiDAR, depending on the model.

Wire, RTK or LiDAR?

Wire is still the common cheap install. RTK (Navimow) needs an antenna, no perimeter cable. LiDAR (Mova Lidax) maps without wire or RTK antenna. Match the garden, not the hype.

Do I need wireless in 2026?

Not always. Search data still shows wire queries. Simple lawns: Landroid or Automower. Wireless helps with islands and no-cable installs.
