Smart mower with minor hill issues
This robot lawn mower is considered the best option if budget is not a concern, and the LiDAR version is recommended over RTK navigation. It is smarter than a robot vacuum but still has bugs. It handles steep hills up to a point, can climb them but slides down when descending, and sometimes gets stuck. No-go zones may be ignored on edges due to true edge technology. It saves time and energy, keeps the lawn mowed every other day without bagging, and pulls thatch. Tall grass leaves uncut lines, so mowing and bagging first is advised.
Pros
- + saves time and energy
- + smarter than a robot vacuum
- + keeps lawn mowed every other day
- + no bagging needed
- + pulls thatch
Cons
- − slides down steep hills
- − sometimes gets stuck
- − no-go zones ignored on edges
- − leaves uncut grass lines in tall grass

Good for flat yards with tree cover
This LiDAR mower cuts at fast or slow speed with adjustable height and suits flat yards with tree cover. Setup is easy, mapping and zone editing are straightforward, and the camera shows where it is mowing. It struggles with stray tall dandelions or grass pieces, treating them as obstacles even with enhanced settings and AI recognition off. It cannot edge specific zones, gives no location when stuck, and the app's recovery steps do not work, requiring a restart and manual return to the charging station. The app is basic, the display is mostly useless, and there is no random cut pattern.
Pros
- + No boundary wire
- + Easy map creation and zone editing
- + Easy setup
- + Camera to watch mowing
Cons
- − Treats tall weeds and grass as obstacles
- − Cannot edge specific zones
- − No location shown when stuck
- − App recovery steps ineffective
- − Basic app
- − Useless display
- − No random cut pattern

Second Unit Mows Reliably With No Interventions
Used on 15,000 sq ft with some hills, the first unit cut well but got stuck or errored about 30% of the time, and its axle broke at season's end. A replacement unit has since mowed 68 times over 91 hours and 336,000 sq ft with zero interventions. It runs on schedules, about two hours on four days per week, leaving attractive lines. Blades are rotated every two months and direction changed weekly. It occasionally misses a blade of grass, but this is not noticeable. The second unit is faster and highly recommended.
Pros
- + cuts well
- + reliable with zero interventions
- + runs on schedules
- + faster than previous unit
- + leaves attractive lines
- + good for large lawn with hills
Cons
- − first unit got stuck or errored 30% of the time
- − first unit's axle broke
- − occasionally misses a blade of grass

Lacks 4WD, Poor Edge Mowing, Battery Fails After Warranty
This mower performs adequately but lacks four-wheel drive, so it slips and gets stuck frequently. It offers several mowing modes but does not mow across edges, leaving an edge trimmer necessary. Despite cameras and LiDAR, it repeatedly falls off the curb at the same spot, indicating it does not learn. Enabling data sharing did not lead to improvements. After one year, the battery depleted and no replacement could be found; degradation began right after the warranty period. Firmware updates were scarce. Better options exist with superior customer support.
Pros
- + several mowing modes
- + adequate mowing performance
Cons
- − lacks four-wheel drive
- − slips and gets stuck often
- − does not mow across edges
- − falls off curb at same spot repeatedly
- − does not learn
- − data sharing did not improve model
- − battery depleted after one year
- − no replacement battery available
- − degradation after warranty period
- − few firmware updates
- − poor customer support
