What reviewers found
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
- 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
TerraMow V1000
- TechRadar (Performance 5/5, Value 4/5): Several weeks on a flat 170 m2 lawn. Auto mapped 172 m2 in about 24 minutes and mowed it in about 90 minutes in Fast mode with battery to spare. Avoided a 6 cm ball and a hose, but not a 1 in fabric dog chew. Good under trees; edges by hard borders need trimming. Source
- Notebookcheck: Mapped a 250 m2 lawn in just over an hour and mowed about 260 m2 in 2.5 hours (about 104 m2 per hour), returning with about 13% charge. Detected a hedgehog dummy, hose and tennis ball; managed 70 cm passages and the slope ramp. About 58 dB. Left about 10 cm unmown at raised edges. Source
