Verdict
Pros & cons
Der ANTHBOT N8 ist ein drahtloser RTK-Mähroboter mit Fangkorb, der Rasenschnitt und Herbstlaub fast vollständig einsammelt und an bis zu fünf Abladezonen selbst auskippt. Er passt zu großen, offenen Laubgärten, in denen du sonst jeden Samstag rechen würdest. Der Haken: Mit knapp 70 dB ist er laut, und mit dem fast 1 m langen Korb schafft er nur rund 69 m² pro Stunde.
Pros
- Sammelt Rasenschnitt nahezu vollständig und Herbstlaub bis auf einzelne Blätter
- Kippt den vollen Korb über Wochen ohne Fehlversuch an der Abladezone aus
- RTK mit eigener Station oder Netz-RTK, Kameras überbrücken kurze Signalausfälle
- Mulchscheibe und Deflektor im Lieferumfang, Umbau mit drei Schrauben
- Leiser Modus senkt den Schalldruck von 75 auf 68 dB
- Schafft 45 % Steigung
Cons
- Im Sammelbetrieb mit knapp 68 bis 70 dB so laut wie ein Akkurasenmäher
- Mit Korb rund 69 statt 135 m²/h, danach 80 min Laden
- Fast 1 m lang: rangiert an Bahnenenden mehrmals, fährt sich an Engstellen fest
- Lässt bis zu 15 cm Randstreifen und kommt nicht in Innenecken
- Erkennt Igel-Attrappen und Tennisbälle nicht zuverlässig
Der MOVA LiDAX Ultra 1200 ist ein drahtloser LiDAR-Mäher mit Kamera, der ohne RTK auch unter Bäumen sauber in engen Bahnen mäht und an geraden Pflasterkanten weniger als 5 cm stehen lässt. Für ebene, trockene Gärten bis etwa 800 m² taugt er gut. Der Haken: Ohne Allrad reißt er nassen Rasen beim Wenden auf, und flache Hindernisse erkennt er erst nach dem Nachjustieren in der App.
Pros
- Navigiert ohne RTK auch unter Bäumen und in der Dämmerung verlässlich
- Gerade, enge Bahnen ohne vergessene Inseln auf der freien Fläche
- Ausfahrendes Mähwerk lässt an geraden Pflasterkanten unter 5 cm stehen
- Schnitthöhe 30 bis 100 mm in 5-mm-Schritten per App oder Display
- Leiser Betrieb mit gemessenen 48,5 dB
- Bis zu 150 Zonen und zwei getrennte Karten verwaltbar
Cons
- Heckräder drehen beim Wenden auf nassem Rasen durch und reißen Grasnarbe heraus
- Übersieht ab Werk flache Dinge unter 3 cm wie Steine oder Latten
- Fehlalarme bei Löwenzahn und Grashalmen lassen ungemähte Stellen zurück
- App mit Fehlern: veraltete Werte, stockende Bluetooth-Fernsteuerung, starre Kartenbearbeitung
- Randmodus mäht immer auf 3 cm und lässt helle Streifen
