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 Natural Expressions Performance 7 ist ein drahtloser Kamera-Mäher, der ohne Antenne auskommt und auch unter dichten Bäumen sicher navigiert. Hindernisse vom Tennisball bis zum Schlauch umfährt er zuverlässig, die Garage liegt bei. Er passt zu ebenen Gärten bis etwa 400 m². Der Haken: An Mauern und Hecken bleiben meist 10 bis 15 cm stehen, und gemäht wird nur bei Tageslicht.
Pros
- Navigiert per Kamera auch unter dichten Baumkronen und an Hauswänden sicher
- Umfährt Tennisball, Schuh, Zollstock und Igel-Attrappe ohne Berührung
- Genaue Karte spart Beete, Kies und Gullydeckel von selbst aus
- Mäht an Terrassenplatten und flachen Randsteinen bis zum letzten Halm
- Akku hält 2,5 bis 3:20 h und lässt sich tauschen
- Garage im Lieferumfang, Ecken-Modus für verwinkelte Stellen
Cons
- An Mauern und Hecken bleiben meist 10 bis 15 cm Rand stehen
- Schafft real nur 50 bis 77 statt 100 m² pro Stunde
- Rutscht an schrägen Hängen und fährt sich in Senken fest
- Hält trockene, kahle Rasenstellen für Hindernisse und lässt sie aus
- Schnitthöhe nur am Gerät, Randabstand gilt für die ganze Karte
