Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 1500 ist ein Allrad-Mäher für steile, baumreiche Gärten: Er klettert bis 80 % und hält per LiDAR und Kameras auch unter dichten Kronen die Position, ganz ohne Draht und RTK-Station. Realistisch reicht er für rund 1.000 m². Der Haken: An Mauern bleibt ein Streifen für den Trimmer, und auf nassem Boden reißt er die Narbe beim Wenden auf.

Pros

  • Allradantrieb mit vier Radmotoren schafft 80 % Steigung und Kanten bis 50 mm
  • LiDAR und zwei Kameras halten die Position unter Bäumen und in der Dämmerung
  • Keine RTK-Station und kein Draht nötig, Navigation läuft auch ohne Abo
  • Gerade Bahnen mit 40 cm Schnittbreite, keine ausgelassenen Stellen
  • Schnitthöhe elektrisch 25 bis 70 mm, pro Zone einstellbar
  • Umfährt Bälle, Hütchen und Gartenschlauch ohne Berührung

Cons

  • Wendemanöver reißen auf nassem, weichem Boden die Grasnarbe auf
  • An Mauern und hohen Beetkanten bleibt ein breiter Randstreifen stehen
  • Am Kartenrand nur 40 % Steigung erlaubt
  • App-Verbindung bricht beim Wechsel zwischen Mobilfunk, WLAN und Bluetooth kurz ab
  • Gespeicherte Fläche lässt sich nachträglich nicht in Zonen teilen

Der MOVA LiDAX Ultra 800 ist ein drahtloser Mähroboter der Mittelklasse, der per LiDAR und Kamera sichere, gerade Bahnen zieht – auch unter Bäumen, wo RTK schwankt. Er passt zu Gärten bis etwa 550 m² mit mehreren Teilflächen und ist in einer Viertelstunde startklar. Der Haken: An Mauern bleibt ein Streifen von 5 bis 6 cm stehen, und beim Wenden auf trockenem Rasen rutschen die Hinterräder durch.

Pros

  • Gerade, lückenlose Bahnen auch unter dichten Baumkronen ohne RTK-Station
  • Einrichtung in etwa einer Viertelstunde, Karte per Joystick sehr genau
  • Auf 5 cm Mindesthöhe erkennt er Schlauchstück, Tennisball und Igel-Attrappe
  • Schnitthöhe 3 bis 10 cm in 5-mm-Schritten je Zone per App
  • Leiser Betrieb mit 49 dB Schalldruck
  • Bis zu 150 Zonen und zwei Karten, Pfade zwischen Teilflächen

Cons

  • An Mauern und erhöhten Kanten bleibt ein 5 bis 6 cm breiter Streifen
  • Heckräder rutschen beim Wenden auf trockenem Rasen durch und reiben Stellen ab
  • In Werkseinstellung werden ausgelegter Schlauch und Gartenschaufel überfahren
  • 45 % Steigung nur mit sichtbarer Mühe
  • Rund 5 Wh Standby-Verbrauch pro Stunde, per App nicht ganz abschaltbar
