A cheap way to get LiDAR navigation with no RTK antenna, and the cut itself is even. Gizmodo's safety findings are serious, though: it pushed into a person and failed to stop for some objects. Mova says an October update improves detection, so check recent reviews before buying for a yard with kids or pets.
Best for: small, tidy lawns with few obstacles. Skip if: kids or pets use the yard while it mows.

What independent reviewers found
- Mowed about 1,500 sq ft in about two hours, ending near 19% battery, with an even cut and LiDAR navigation that stayed in its zones. But it pushed into the reviewer's leg for several seconds, rammed a raised bed with object detection off and knocked over a pot; it got stuck on pavers and uneven ground. Verdict: a hard pass unless obstacle avoidance improves.
- Gizmodo
- Tested the European LiDAX Ultra 800, a close sibling. Mowed a 70 m2 zone in about one hour, avoided rakes, a watering can and a small tree, got stuck once on a fresh soil mound, and left longer grass along the boundary (cuts to about 5 cm from the edge). Recommended.

Questions buyers ask
Is it safe around people?
Gizmodo's unit pushed into the reviewer's leg instead of stopping. Mova said an October 2026 update would improve detection and that bumper sensitivity is adjustable.
Is it the same as the LiDAX Ultra 800?
The European Ultra 800 shares the 800 m2 rating, 45% slope and 20 cm deck, but Mova does not state they are the same model.
Does it need RTK?
No. Mova markets it as wire free and RTK free, using LiDAR and a camera.
