Methodology and independence

How SpecsLib compares robot mowers

Every recommendation starts from your lawn's constraints, never from the size of a commission. Here is how data is collected, verified, compared and corrected.

What creates value

Decision before monetization

The wizard and comparisons start from lawn constraints: area, slope, budget, zones, noise, battery, security, service and navigation.

Verifiable data

Specs first come from official product pages, manuals, support pages and warranty policies. When data is missing, it stays unknown instead of being invented.

Useful comparison

Tables hide rows with no value and highlight the differences that actually change the buying decision.

Original guidance

Guides explain practical trade-offs: daily capacity, real slope, navigation type, ownership cost, terrain limits and uncertainty.

How scores work

The score is not a universal ranking. It changes with the user's constraints. A model can be excellent for 800 m2 and a poor choice for 3000 m2. Hard blockers such as insufficient area, weak slope rating or a requested feature that is absent exclude or heavily penalize the mower.

Source hierarchy

  • Official product page and manufacturer specs page
  • User manual or official support page
  • Warranty, after-sales and spare-parts policy
  • Recognized external reviews for usage signals, rewritten without plagiarism
  • SpecsLib field test only when the mower has actually been tested

Affiliate and sponsorship

SpecsLib may earn a commission from some merchant links, always labeled as such. A brand can sponsor a clearly identified placement or lend a mower for testing. No partnership can buy a score, hide a limitation or change a verdict.

Corrections

When a brand, reader or tester reports an error, the correction should cite the source, exact model, affected country and date. Conflicts between a manual and product page are kept as uncertainty instead of being smoothed away.

What SpecsLib refuses

  • Publishing near-duplicate pages only to capture SEO queries.
  • Copying competitor reviews or hiding user-reported limitations.
  • Ranking a mower first only because it pays better.
  • Presenting a spec synthesis as a field test.
