Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Dreame A1 Pro ist ein drahtloser LiDAR-Mäher, der ohne Antenne und RTK-Station sicher auch unter Bäumen navigiert und in geraden Bahnen ein gleichmäßiges, sauberes Schnittbild hinterlässt. Er passt zu Gärten bis etwa 1.000 m² mit leichtem Gefälle. Der Haken: An Mauern bleibt ein Randstreifen von etwa 11 cm, flache Dinge wie Schlauch oder Tennisball übersieht er, und ohne stabiles WLAN an der Station hakt die App.
Pros
- LiDAR-Ortung ohne Draht, Antenne oder RTK-Station, auch unter Bäumen und Vordach
- Gleichmäßiges Schnittbild in geraden Bahnen dank schwimmend gelagertem Mähteller
- Einrichtung schnell: Station in 5 Minuten, Kartierung von 100 m² in 15 Minuten
- Erkennt Hindernisse ab etwa 10 cm Höhe zuverlässig, auch Katze oder Kind
- Schnitthöhe elektrisch von 30 bis 70 mm in 5-mm-Schritten
- Stollenreifen greifen auch auf nassem Rasen ohne Grasnarbe aufzureißen
Cons
- Ungemähter Streifen von etwa 11 cm an Mauern und erhöhten Kanten
- Übersieht Gartenschlauch und oft Tennisball, Igel-Attrappe nur teilweise erkannt
- Braucht starkes WLAN an der Station, sonst Abbrüche und hängende Updates
- Großer Abstand zu Büschen lässt Grasinseln stehen
- Kartenbearbeitung in der App umständlich, Fernsteuerung beim Kartieren verzögert
Der Ecovacs GOAT O1200 LiDAR PRO ist ein solider drahtloser LiDAR-Mäher der Mittelklasse, der ohne Draht und RTK-Antenne gleichmäßige Bahnen zieht. Sein seitlicher Trimmer spart Arbeit an geraden Kanten, wird mit 81 dB(A) aber so laut wie ein Handtrimmer. Er passt zu Gärten bis etwa 800 m² mit festen Rändern; flache Gegenstände überrollt er, und an welligen Kanten bleibt Nacharbeit.
Pros
- Navigiert per LiDAR ohne Draht und RTK-Antenne, auch unter Bäumen stabil
- Seitlicher Trimmer schneidet gerade Mauer- und Pflasterkanten sauber
- Einrichtung dauert Minuten, erste Karte schnell erstellt
- Fährt 60 cm schmale Durchgänge zuverlässig ohne Halt
- Schnitthöhe elektrisch 3 bis 8 cm, je Zone getrennt einstellbar
- Schafft 45 % Steigung auf trockenem Rasen ohne Abbruch
Cons
- Mit Trimmer 81 dB(A) laut, so viel wie ein Handtrimmer
- Überrollt flache Gegenstände wie Ball, Schaufel oder Kinderschuh
- Hält am Rand oft mehr Abstand als kartiert, Streifen bleiben stehen
- Karteneinstellungen und Zonenwerte gehen teils über Nacht verloren
- Real nur 47 bis 77 m² pro Stunde statt 180 m²
