Husqvarna Automower 430X NERA vs Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 5000
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.
Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 5000
The only model here whose published navigation includes a non-satellite positioning method. Check its manual for canopy and obstacle limits.
Husqvarna Automower 430X NERA

- Cutting width ranges from 240 mm to 400 mm, which affects how long each mow takes.
