Our take
STIGA A 5000
A sensible large-lawn choice once the installation is dialled in. Owners report that it can settle into reliable mowing after early setup problems, but the GPS-led system rewards a good installation rather than a casual drop-and-go approach.
Owners like the battery capacity and large-area suitability, with reports of trouble-free mowing once the initial setup is sorted.
Early setup problems and rain-sensor behaviour come up in owner discussion.

What owners and reviewers say
A brief A5000 owner follow-up is encouraging after the mower had completed several outings. The surrounding discussion is mainly about choosing a model and adding a shelter, so it offers limited evidence about day-to-day performance.
The useful owner observation
The purchaser says the 5000 completed several rounds without major trouble. Another contributor describes their mower settling down after difficult beginnings, but does not clearly establish the same variant in that reply. We therefore do not count the second comment as a separate A5000 reliability test.
[1]Shelter and rain handling
Owners discuss how a covered dock affects the rain sensor: the mower may need to emerge before noticing rain. That is useful installation context, but the thread does not establish overall wet-weather performance, battery longevity or typical service quality.
