Large gardens require powerful robot mowers with long runtimes, wide cutting decks and advanced navigation. In 2026, wire‑free technology allows even acre‑sized lawns to be maintained with minimal effort. This article reviews the best robot mowers for large UK gardens, focusing on models with plug‑and‑play installation and robust mapping.
Top large‑garden mowers
Luba 3 AWD is designed for properties up to 1.75 acres (≈7,000 m²), making it one of the most capable residential mowers. It uses the Tri‑Fusion Navigation System (LiDAR + RTK + AI vision) with 360° LiDAR and NetRTK for wire‑free precision.
Four independently driven motors and adaptive suspension allow it to climb 80 % slopes. With dual six‑blade discs and a high‑capacity battery, it can mow up to 7,000 sq ft per hour. The Luba 3 is ideal for large estates, sports fields and commercial properties.
Navimow X4 Series covers up to 1.5 acres and is rated for slopes up to 84 %.
The drop‑and‑mow setup eliminates boundary wires. With the Xero‑turn AWD system, it reduces turf damage on turns and includes models like the X430 (£2,499) and X450 (£2,999). Suitable for large residential lawns and small commercial sites.
Kress RTKⁿ KR174/
Kress’s larger RTKⁿ models, such as KR174 (1¼ acre) and KR233 (3 acre), offer inch‑level accuracy without wires or antennas. They follow parallel line patterns to create professional stripes and can operate in fleets to cover up to 9 acres. Inertial navigation keeps them on course when satellite signals are obstructed.
These models are ideal for large residential properties, sports grounds and commercial landscapes.
STIGA A8 – Wire‑free convenience for medium‑large lawns
STIGA’s A8 covers up to 880 m² (0.22 acres).
While smaller than the other models, it is suitable for medium‑large lawns and provides systematic cutting via the AGS system. The STIGA.GO app allows mapping and scheduling without wires.
If your large garden comprises separate lawns or smaller sections, multiple A8s can operate concurrently.
