Verdict

Pros & cons

Der MOVA ViAX 250 mäht kleine, flache Rasenflächen ohne Draht und ohne RTK-Station sauber in systematischen Bahnen. Die Kameras navigieren über Wochen fehlerfrei, brauchen aber Tageslicht. Der Haken: An Mauern und Zäunen bleibt ein Grasstreifen von bis zu 20 cm stehen, und 50 min Akkulaufzeit reichen nur für rund 50 m² je Ladung. Für Gärten bis etwa 150 m² mit Trimmer im Schuppen passt er gut.

Pros

  • Gleichmäßiges Schnittbild in Bahnen, auch nach mehreren Durchgängen ohne Lücken
  • Kameranavigation ohne Draht und RTK-Station, über Wochen ohne Positionsverlust
  • Erkennt Gartenschlauch, Möbel und Äste zuverlässig, kleine Teile fast immer
  • Leise mit 49 dB(A) Schalldruck, auf der Terrasse kaum störend
  • Zwei Karten, Zonen, Sperrflächen und Verbindungswege in der App
  • Aufbau und App-Einrichtung in unter 10 min erledigt

Cons

  • An Mauern und Zäunen bleibt ein Grasstreifen von bis zu 20 cm
  • 50 min Mähzeit reichen rechnerisch nur für rund 50 m² je Ladung
  • Mäht nur bei Tageslicht, Schatten und Nebel stören die Ortung
  • Ohne Allrad, empfohlen nur für Flächen unter 25 % Steigung
  • Schnitthöhe nur am Drehrad, keine PIN-Sperre, Mobilfunk nur per Zusatzmodul

Der TerraMow V1000 ist ein Mähroboter, der nur mit Kameras navigiert und ohne Draht und Antenne auskommt. Er kartiert den Garten selbst und mäht in sauberen, parallelen Bahnen. Am besten passt er zu klar begrenzten, eher flachen Gärten von 600 bis 900 m². Der Haken: Er mäht nur bei Tageslicht, ist eher langsam und lässt an hohen Kanten einen Streifen von rund 10 cm stehen.

Pros

  • Kartiert selbst ohne Draht, Antenne oder RTK-Station
  • Gleichmäßiges Schnittbild in parallelen Bahnen mit wählbarer Mährichtung
  • Umfährt Schlauch, Tennisball und Igel-Attrappe in der Stufe „empfindlich“
  • Viele Einstellungen je Zone: Bahnabstand, Tempo, Randverhalten
  • Livebild der Kamera und Joystick per App, auch über LTE
  • Garage im Lieferumfang, Akku selbst wechselbar

Cons

  • Mäht nur bei Tageslicht und bricht in der Dämmerung ab
  • An Kanten mit Absatz bleiben 9 bis 20 cm ungemäht
  • Rutscht quer zum Hang, Heckantrieb verliert auf nassem Rasen Halt
  • In der Standardstufe übersieht er kleine Hindernisse, Hundekot überfährt er immer
  • Langsam: Die vollen 1.200 m² brauchen 12 bis 15 h
