What's good
- The largest rated area on this page without any RTK or wire
- Battery is the only change from the 3500, so everything that suits a 3500 yard carries over
What's not
- Same 15.8 in deck as the 3500: the extra area comes from longer runs, not faster cutting
- On an open acre-plus lot, RTK positioning has the easier job; confirm the LiDAR has fixed features to work with
Our verdict
Buy it over the 3500 only if your lawn area (not your lot) is above 0.87 acre. The deck, navigation and slope rating are identical; the 10Ah battery just lets it cover more ground between charges.
