Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Sunseeker S5 ist ein drahtloser Allrad-Mähroboter mit RTK und zwei Kameras für große, hügelige Gärten. Er meistert 60 % Steigung samt Wenden und navigiert auch unter Bäumen stabil. Der Haken: Am Rand bleibt oft ein Streifen stehen, die Schnitthöhe stellst du von Hand ein. Realistisch passt er zu etwa 600 bis 1.200 m².
Pros
- Allrad schafft 60 % Steigung und wendet sogar am Hang
- Navigation unter Bäumen und nahe Gebäuden stabil, ohne Grenzüberschreitung
- RTK-Referenzstation im Lieferumfang, kein Netz-RTK nötig
- Gießkanne, Harke und Rasensprenger werden zuverlässig erkannt
- Übersichtliche App mit bis zu 80 Zonen und einfachen Zeitplänen
- Akku nach Lösen einiger Schrauben selbst tauschbar
Cons
- Hält am Rand oft mehr Abstand als kartiert, Streifen bleibt stehen
- Schnitthöhe 20 bis 60 mm nur von Hand am Gerät verstellbar
- Sehr flache Gegenstände wie ein liegender Roller werden teils berührt
- Station und Antenne brauchen je eine eigene Steckdose
- Kein Live-Kamerabild in der App trotz zwei Kameras
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
