Good value for a medium size lawn if you want RTK accuracy and fine mulching for little money. Testers saw connectivity hiccups during setup and more interventions in narrow sections, so it suits open yards better than cramped ones. Android Authority found front wheel drag on the bigger Tron, which may apply here too.

One of the cheapest RTK mowers from a big brand, and Consumer Reports gave it a Smart Buy badge. It suits a quarter acre yard with open sky for the RTK station. Skip it for bigger lawns or if you want the cut height set from the app.
