## Verdict

The mid size Genie shares the cameras, RTK and cutting deck of the Genie 3000 that reviewers liked for straight lines and quiet running, with a smaller battery for lawns up to about half an acre. Its 7.9 in cut is narrow and it needs an RTK station with open sky. We could not confirm a current US store price, so check before you buy.

## Questions buyers ask

### Does it need a perimeter wire?

No. It uses an RTK station plus four cameras.

### How big a lawn can it handle?

TechRadar and Electrek list up to 0.49 acre (2,000 m²). Early Kickstarter material said 0.25 acre, so treat the larger figure as the current rating.

### How is it different from the Genie 3000?

The 3000 has a bigger 10Ah battery, covers about 0.89 acre and supports 30 zones instead of 20. The cameras, RTK and 7.9 in deck are the same series design.
