Verdict

Pros & cons

Der MOVA LiDAX Ultra 1600 ist ein drahtloser LiDAR-Mähroboter, der auch unter Bäumen zuverlässig navigiert und in engen Bahnen ein gleichmäßiges Schnittbild hinterlässt. Das 4G-Modul mit GPS-Ortung ist schon dabei. Er passt zu ebenen Gärten bis etwa 1.100 m² mit festem Boden. Der Haken ist der fehlende Allradantrieb: Auf lockerem oder nassem Boden drehen die Räder durch, und flache Gegenstände überfährt er teilweise.

Pros

  • Navigiert per LiDAR und Kamera ohne Draht und RTK, auch unter Bäumen
  • Gleichmäßiges Schnittbild durch enge, parallele Bahnen
  • 4G-Modul mit GPS-Ortung und Geofence serienmäßig, erstes Jahr kostenlos
  • Einrichtung per App in wenigen Minuten bis einer Viertelstunde
  • Schafft Engstellen ab 60 cm und hält Sperrzonen zuverlässig ein
  • Leiser Betrieb mit 57 dB Schallleistung

Cons

  • Ohne Allrad drehen die Räder beim Wenden durch und hinterlassen Kahlstellen
  • Fährt sich in lockerem Sand oder weicher Erde fest
  • Überfährt flache Gegenstände wie Schläuche und Gartenschaufeln in der Grundeinstellung
  • Nur 2,4-GHz-WLAN, bei schwachem Signal bricht die App-Verbindung ab
  • Mit 20 cm Schnittbreite brauchen große Flächen viele Stunden

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
