Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Ecovacs GOAT O800 RTK mäht ohne Draht in sauberen Bahnen und ist mit eigener RTK-Station in rund 25 min eingerichtet. Er passt zu offenen Gärten bis etwa 550 m² mit gutem WLAN. Der Haken: An Mauern bleiben 9 bis 10 cm stehen, und Schläuche, Äste und die Igel-Attrappe erkennt er nicht zuverlässig. Du musst also vorher den Rasen abgehen und den Rand selbst nachschneiden.

Pros

  • Gerade, lückenlose Bahnen ohne Begrenzungsdraht oder Baken
  • RTK-Referenzstation im Lieferumfang, kein Netz-RTK-Abo nötig
  • Ersteinrichtung samt Kartierung in 15 bis 25 min, allein machbar
  • Große Hindernisse wie Bäume, Möbel und Menschen ohne Berührung gemieden
  • Leiser Betrieb, von der Terrasse kaum hörbar
  • Übersichtliche App mit Sperrzonen, mehreren Zonen und Zeitsperre

Cons

  • An Mauern und Beeten bleibt ein Randstreifen von 9 bis 10 cm
  • Überfährt Schläuche, Äste und Spielzeug unter 10 cm Höhe wiederholt
  • Igel-Attrappe nur in einem Teil der Anfahrten erkannt
  • Ohne durchgehendes WLAN nicht nutzbar, Fernstart von unterwegs klappte nicht
  • Grobes Radprofil reißt auf nassem Rasen Erde heraus

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
