Our take
STIGA A 1500
A very capable wire-free mower for a fairly open lawn. The cut quality and low-noise operation are strong; gardens with lots of trees, narrow gaps or poor sky view are less suitable.
Independent testing praises the even cut, quiet running, easy dealer setup and low day-to-day intervention once the garden is mapped.
It needs good sky visibility, does not handle intricate gardens or obstacles perfectly and still needs manual edge finishing.
Lawns suited to rtk-gps virtual-boundary navigation.
Buyers who need a robot that is available to buy immediately.
- RTK-GPS virtual-boundary navigation — positioning technology helps the robot work out where it is.
- Designed for lawns up to 1,500 m²
What reviewers found
A two-month test found very good lawn appearance and reliable scheduled mowing after the installation was refined. The main compromises were antenna placement, mapping effort and a visible strip left along some edges.
Setup improved after moving the antenna
Instalki tested a loaned A1500 on a roughly 300m² garden. The antenna initially struggled when left at ground level in the dock; mounting it higher resolved the connection problem. Steering the perimeter through the app also took practice before the reviewer was happy with the map.
[1]Good mowing once exclusions were correct
The reviewer praised the finish and returned from a week away to a maintained lawn. A low-edged planted area initially trapped the mower, but mapping it as an excluded obstacle solved that issue. Small objects still needed clearing; the test did not establish reliable recognition of everything left on the grass.
[1]Finishing and app limitations
The test left roughly 10–15cm of grass beside some borders, requiring separate trimming. The app offered substantial control, but some settings were hard to find and detailed route history was missing. This positive two-month experience does not establish performance across the full advertised area or long-term repair costs.
