## What reviewers found

### Anthbot Genie 600e (4G)

- TechRadar: Tested the Genie 3000, a bigger battery sibling of the 600e with the same RTK and camera system. Mapping took about five minutes; a roughly 170 m² lawn took about an hour with 72% battery left. Avoided dog toys, tennis balls and a plant pot but not a ping pong ball. GPS held with 12 to 25 satellites despite tall trees. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/smart-home/anthbot-genie-robot-lawn-mower-review)
- Tom's Guide: Tested the Genie 3000 sibling. Quiet and easy to set up, but the RTK unit was hard to place in a complex yard, a firmware update failed 9 of 10 tries, and it struggled with weeds, muddy spots and very thick grass. A 388 sq ft section took 23 minutes. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/lawn-care/anthbot-genie-3000-robot-lawnmower-review)
- Notebookcheck: Tested the Genie 3000 sibling. Mowed 520 m² in over two and a half hours before the battery ran out, measured 66.2 dB while cutting, and handled a 25° dip. The RTK antenna took 10 to 15 minutes to register and the stock cable was too short.

### Anthbot M9

- GadgetReview (85 True Score): Tested in Maine alongside a Lymow One Plus. Quietest mower the reviewer tested at about 60 dB at 1 m; setup took about 20 minutes. Stalled on thick, tall or wet grass, left a 15 to 20 cm border strip, lost position after driving off a ledge and could not dock. Expert score 82. [Source](https://www.gadgetreview.com/anthbot-m9-review)
- New Atlas: Hands on test found setup took about 10 minutes as claimed, tight turns and straight lines, and no trouble with shadows or a clothesline pole. A test section used about 10% of the battery. Thick, stubborn grass got a less even cut; not suited to overgrown lawns or yards with roots.
