What reviewers found
Anthbot N8
- Notebookcheck: About 2 hours and just under 200 m² per charge, about 1.5 hours to recharge, about 70 dB at 1 m. Collection worked well, but it missed a tennis ball, bumped a hedgehog dummy in over half the attempts and left wide uncut strips at edges. Source
- PCWorld: Editors' Choice. Auto emptying never failed, a 1,200 sq ft area took 97 minutes, a 960 sq ft area used about 80% of the battery, noise was just under 68 dB at 3.28 ft, and up to about 6 in was left uncut at edges. Source
Mammotion LUBA mini 2 AWD
- Notebookcheck: Tested the EU 1000 version: obstacle detection handled a hedgehog dummy, ball and hose; slope test reached 70% before a tip over error; edge cutting judged still improvable. Source
- Bob Vila: Named Best for Complex Yards. Compact size helped it through tight spaces, AWD kept traction on steep slopes; the main drawback was limited coverage for the price. Source
