What reviewers found
Airseekers Tron SE
- Bob Vila: Named Best Bang for the Buck. Strong on a large backyard and thick grass for the price; struggled in narrow sections and setup was frustrating due to connectivity problems. Source
Anthbot Genie 1000
- TechRadar: Tested the Genie 3000, which shares the 1000's cameras and deck. Mapped a lawn in about five minutes, mowed the test lawn in about an hour with 72% battery left, and the RTK tracked 12 to 25 satellites under heavy tree cover. Category scores: Performance 5/5, Design 4.5/5, Value 4/5, App 4/5. Source
- Notebookcheck: Tested the Genie 3000: mowed 520 m² on one charge over more than 2.5 h, recharged in under 2 h and measured 66.2 dB. Two passes were usually needed for a good result, and the 2 m RTK cable was too short. Source
