What reviewers found
Dreame A3 AWD Pro 2500
- Bob Vila: Named Best for Steep Slopes. AWD kept traction on slopes that slowed other mowers; mapping was straightforward; handled thick St. Augustine. Source
- Gizmodo (3.5/5): Tested the 3500 version: satellite free navigation and good handling of tight spaces and inclines, but left ruts and bald spots near the dock and on damp slopes; auto mapping covered only the main open area. Source
Segway Navimow i215 LiDAR
- PCWorld (TechHive): On a 7,645 sq ft lawn with slopes, trees, mulch beds and a play set, auto mapping worked and the cut was clean and even at 3.2 to 4.0 in. It slipped off a narrow raised strip by a fence twice and needed rescue; Navimow confirmed it has no cliff sensor. Source
- AndroidGuys (4.4): Navigated beside fences, under trees and through 70 cm passages without a wire or antenna. Ran about 160 min per charge and about 130 min to recharge, covering about 4,570 sq ft per charge. Rear wheels spun on steep or damp ground and vertical edges left a strip to trim. Source
