## What reviewers found

### Mova LiDAX Pro 800

- Gizmodo: Mowed about 1,500 sq ft in about two hours, ending near 19% battery, with an even cut and LiDAR navigation that stayed in its zones. But it pushed into the reviewer's leg for several seconds, rammed a raised bed with object detection off and knocked over a pot; it got stuck on pavers and uneven ground. Verdict: a hard pass unless obstacle avoidance improves. [Source](https://gizmodo.com/mova-lidax-pro-800-review-this-robomower-tried-to-mow-me-down-2000814001)
- VideoTesty.pl: Tested the European LiDAX Ultra 800, a close sibling. Mowed a 70 m2 zone in about one hour, avoided rakes, a watering can and a small tree, got stuck once on a fresh soil mound, and left longer grass along the boundary (cuts to about 5 cm from the edge). Recommended. [Source](https://www.videotesty.pl/recenzja/2765/test-mova-lidax-ultra-800-sprawny-ciekawy-koszacy-do-krawedzi/)

### MOVA LiDAX Ultra 1000

- PCtipp (4.5/5): Rated very good. Setup took 10 to 15 minutes, it climbed the claimed 45% slope, steered around a football and a wheelbarrow, and fast charging went from 15% to 90% in about 40 minutes. Runtime fell to a little over half of the expected 2.5 hours on hills, wet or tall grass. [Source](https://www.pctipp.ch/themen/tests/maehroboter-mova-lidax-ultra-1000-im-pctipp-test)
- inside digital: Critical verdict. LiDAR navigation was reliable under trees and the cut was clean, but auto mapping was poor, it drove into large flat objects, kept about 10 cm from edges instead of the claimed 5 cm, and dug tracks in soft ground. One charge did not cover 1,000 m². [Source](https://www.inside-digital.de/tests/mahroboter-mova-lidax-1000-ultra-beweglicher-maehteller-kantenschnitt-testbericht)
