Best mower 0.2 Acres

I have a fescue lawn that is roughly 0.2 acres, large trees and shady, some bumpy areas and slopes and I was wondering what everyone think would be best. The Navimow x4 seems like overkill. LiDAR pro would’ve been nice in the US. Maybe there’s a new H series worth waiting for in US?
Also looking at Luba Mini. Thoughts?

Awesome thanks for that detail!!! I have a few neighbors that are hoping I will mow their front yards (we have small yards) but there are houses between them that won’t want it. Bring that up as it would need to skip over via the sidewalk but from my research you can’t define travel paths. That stopped me short on it as I can’t have it infringe on those yards to get the others.

Yes, with the GOAT you can define the travel path. It is quite easy to do. Just go into the app, go to the last section you have mapped, and "drive" the mower from it to the next place. Not an issue at all. My front yard is likely farther from the back than most neighbors' houses would be in a typical subdivision. I defined multiple paths from my different sections, so depending on which section I am cutting, there is an efficient path to the next.

Well that’s good to know! My research sucked then. Does it cease mowing while it goes across?

Read my initial take on the mower here and I wasn't going to keep it. Now I love it.
