About Gladeburn

Gladeburn helps you find the right robot mower for your lawn, with the specs checked. The name joins a glade, a sunny clearing, with a burn, the Scots and northern English word for a stream.

What we do

• Our free tools start from your garden: its area, slope, zones and passages. The robot mower chooser matches them to the models on sale in the UK.
• The UK Robot Mower Tracker lists those models with the manufacturer's own specs, each with its source and the date we checked it.
• We explain the trade-offs plainly: boundary wire or wire-free, RTK or vision, what a slope rating really means.
• We only ever suggest daylight mowing, for the sake of hedgehogs and other wildlife.

What we don't do

• We haven't tested these mowers; we compare published specs and independent sources. We never say we've used or trialled a mower.
• We don't rate wildlife safety ourselves. We cite published research by name.
• We don't cover ride-on mowers or commercial grounds care.
• We don't build garages or do electricity maths here: where it helps, we link to a sister site that does.

How we make money

Some pages have affiliate links, marked Ad. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes which models we list or their order. Read our advertising disclosure.
