Wire-free mowers map your lawn in an app instead of following a buried cable, so setup takes an afternoon rather than a weekend. How well they hold their position depends on navigation: LiDAR and vision work under trees, while RTK-only models need open sky.
How we picked: Only models that don't need a boundary wire; ranked by tree-cover handling, then rated area. More on our criteria.

RTK uses satellite signals and is very accurate under open sky, but can lose position under trees or next to tall buildings. LiDAR and vision see their surroundings, so they cope better with tree cover. Many 2026 models combine methods.
