Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Einhell FREELEXO CAM 500 ist ein einfacher Kamera-Mähroboter ohne Begrenzungsdraht, der nur auf ebenen, offenen und schattenarmen Rasen verlässlich arbeitet. Harte Schatten, braune Stellen und Durchgänge unter 70 cm bringen ihn aus dem Tritt, an Kanten bleiben 15 bis 40 cm ungemäht. Dazu kommen fehlende App, eine unzuverlässige Rückkehr zur Station und Ausfälle nach ein bis zwei Jahren.

Pros

  • Kein Begrenzungsdraht nötig, Einrichtung per Lernfahrt ohne Messer
  • Nutzt 18-V-Akkus der Power-X-Change-Reihe, ohne Werkzeug wechselbar
  • Gleichmäßiges Schnittbild auf freien, trockenen Flächen
  • Schafft Steigungen bis 25 % ohne Mühe
  • Magnetband grenzt Beete und Bäumchen schnell und unauffällig ab

Cons

  • Hält harte Schatten und braune Stellen oft für Hindernisse
  • An Kanten bleiben 15 bis 40 cm Rasen ungemäht
  • Fährt nicht durch Durchgänge unter 70 bis 80 cm
  • Findet die Ladestation oft erst nach 30 bis 40 Minuten
  • Keine App, Mähplan nur grob per Tastenfeld, mehrere Ausfälle nach ein bis zwei Jahren

Der Yard Force EasyMow 260B ist ein günstiger Draht-Mäher, der kleine, ebene Rasen zuverlässig kurz hält. Realistisch schafft er rund 180 m² statt der angegebenen 260 m². An Mulden fährt er sich fest, die Bluetooth-App verliert Zeitpläne, und der fest verbaute Akku lässt oft nach einem Jahr nach. Beim Kundendienst musst du mit wochenlangen Wartezeiten rechnen.

Pros

  • Hält kleine, ebene Flächen innerhalb des Drahts gleichmäßig kurz
  • Mulcht das Schnittgut, kein Fangkorb zu leeren
  • Zeitplan per App mit zwei Mähfenstern je Wochentag
  • Schnitthöhe von 20 bis 55 mm verstellbar
  • Draht, 100 Heringe und Abstandslineal im Lieferumfang

Cons

  • Akku fest verbaut, lässt oft schon nach etwa einem Jahr nach
  • Fährt sich in Mulden und an Grasbüscheln fest
  • App funkt nur per Bluetooth und verliert Zeitpläne
  • Breiter Randstreifen und Lücke hinter der Station bleiben stehen
  • Kein Regensensor, Kundendienst antwortet oft erst nach Wochen
