Husqvarna Automower 405X vs ANTHBOT M5

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 M5

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

Best for large lawns

Husqvarna Automower 405X

Rated for the largest working area at 600 m².

Widest cut

Husqvarna Automower 405X

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

Best for tree-heavy gardens

Husqvarna Automower 405X

The only model here whose published navigation includes a non-satellite positioning method. Check its manual for canopy and obstacle limits.

Best for smaller lawns

ANTHBOT M5

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 500 m² to 600 m² — the single biggest practical difference between them.
  • Slope ratings differ (40% (about 22°) to 45% (about 24°)), which matters if any part of your garden is on a bank.
  • Installation differs: not all of these models avoid a buried boundary wire.
  • Cutting width ranges from 200 mm to 220 mm, which affects how long each mow takes.

What they have in common

  • Both support multiple mowing zones.
