# Best robot mowers for small gardens Source: https://mowandedge.co.uk/best/best-robot-mower-for-small-garden Publisher: Mow and Edge. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://mowandedge.co.uk/how-we-pick Small lawns are not always easy lawns. A terraced back garden may be only 60 m², but it often has a narrow strip beside a patio, a shed in one corner and borders on three sides. For a robot, narrow passages and tight turns matter more than raw area, and noise matters too when the lawn is a few metres from the house and the neighbours. This guide compares robots suited to lawns under about 600 m², judged on the rated area, how they find the edge, cutting width and the noise figure where the maker gives one. Buying a robot rated for far more than your lawn adds cost and size without any benefit, so start with your measured area. ## Products ### 1.
