Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Bosch VISIMOW18V-100 ist ein Mäher ohne Draht, Station und App, den du für jeden Einsatz von Hand startest. Auf klar eingefassten Rasen bis etwa 70 m² schneidet er gleichmäßig und mit 44 dB(A) leise. Der Haken: Am Rand bleiben 8 bis 30 cm stehen, Bälle und Kleidung übersieht die Kamera, und der Akku sitzt schwergängig im Fach.

Pros

  • Gleichmäßiges Schnittbild ohne Streifen auf kleinen Flächen
  • Ohne Draht, Station und Kartierung in Sekunden startklar
  • Leise mit 44 dB(A) Schalldruck
  • Akku reicht für rund dreieinhalb Stunden Mähen
  • Erkennt Mauern, Hecken und Platten zuverlässig
  • Nutzt 18-V-Akkus der Power-for-All-Allianz

Cons

  • Akkuentnahme schwergängig, nötig nach jedem Einsatz
  • Am Rand bleiben 8 bis 30 cm ungemäht
  • Überfährt Bälle, Kleidung und kleines Werkzeug
  • Fährt sich in engen Durchgängen und Löchern fest
  • Kein Zeitplan, keine App, Updates nur per USB

Der Sunseeker V3 Plus ist ein Kamera-Mähroboter ohne Draht, der in wenigen Minuten startklar ist und Hindernisse zuverlässig umfährt. Er fährt allerdings ohne Karte nach dem Zufallsprinzip, kennt keine Zonen und lässt an der Kante 5 bis 15 cm stehen. Passend ist er für ebene, zusammenhängende Rasen, auf denen er täglich fahren darf; in verwinkelten Gärten mit Löchern oder Durchgängen unter 80 cm fährt er sich fest.

Pros

  • Nach wenigen Minuten startklar, ganz ohne Draht und Kartierung
  • Kamera erkennt Menschen, Tiere, Spielzeug und Gartenmöbel zuverlässig
  • Leiser Betrieb mit 55 dB, sauberer Schnitt bis auf einzelne Halme
  • Umgestaltete Beete erfordern keine neue Einrichtung
  • Regensensor schickt ihn zuverlässig heim und setzt danach fort
  • Steigungen bis 42 % ohne Allradantrieb

Cons

  • Zufallsfahrt ohne Karte: keine Zonen, keine Mährichtung, Ecken bleiben teils aus
  • An der Kante bleiben 5 bis 15 cm stehen, an unklaren Rändern bis 25 cm
  • Fährt sich in Wühlmauslöchern und auf Baumwurzeln fest
  • Durchgänge müssen mindestens 80 cm breit sein
  • Findet die Station nicht immer, grundloses Piepen nicht abschaltbar
