## Verdict

The RockNeo Q1 suits small, fairly flat yards where you want wire free mowing at a lower price. Notebookcheck and AndroidGuys both found reliable RTK navigation and good obstacle avoidance. Skip it if your lawn is steep, soft or bumpy, or if you need tidy edges, since the edge module was held back by cautious software.

- Good obstacle avoidance
- Quiet at about 60 dB
- Optional edge module
