Husqvarna Automower 405VE NERA vs ANTHBOT M9

A straight comparison of what the manufacturers publish. Where a figure is missing for one model, the row says so rather than filling the gap.

What each one is best at

There is no overall winner here — which mower is “best” depends on your garden. These are the categories where one model is measurably ahead on a published figure.

Best for steep terrain

ANTHBOT M9

Highest published slope rating at 45% (about 24°).

Best for large lawns

ANTHBOT M9

Rated for the largest working area at 1,000 m².

Widest cut

Husqvarna Automower 405VE NERA

Cuts 220 mm per pass, so it covers ground faster.

Best for smaller lawns

Husqvarna Automower 405VE NERA

Smallest rated working area of the two — the least mower you need for a compact garden, with the least capacity going unused.

Where they differ

  • Working area ranges from 900 m² to 1,000 m² — the single biggest practical difference between them.
  • Slope ratings differ (30% (about 17°) to 45% (about 24°)), which matters if any part of your garden is on a bank.
  • Cutting width ranges from 200 mm to 220 mm, which affects how long each mow takes.

What they have in common

  • Both connect over Wi-Fi.
  • Both support multiple mowing zones.
  • Neither needs a buried boundary wire.
