## 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/)

### Roborock RockNeo Q1

- Notebookcheck: Tested the Q105 with the PreciEdge module on about 300 m². It ran just under 2 h, covered over 250 m² and returned at 15%. It avoided a hedgehog dummy every time and missed only a tennis ball. Overly cautious navigation left unmowed strips at plant edges. Measured about 60 dB and 10 W standby.

- AndroidGuys (4): Reviewed the US RockNeo Q1 at $999 MSRP. Praised quiet, systematic mowing, app zone controls, rain detection and obstacle avoidance. Traction suffered on steep or soft ground, front casters struggled on uneven ground and boundary edits require remapping.
