Verdict

Pros & cons

Der Sunseeker V3 ist ein drahtloser Kamera-Mähroboter, der in unter 15 Minuten startklar ist und Hindernisse sowie Rasengrenzen sicher erkennt. Er passt zu flachen, klar begrenzten Gärten bis etwa 400 m². Der Haken: Er mäht nach dem Zufallsprinzip ohne Karte, lässt am Rand 5 bis 25 cm stehen und fährt sich in Mulden fest.

Pros

  • In unter 15 Minuten startklar, ohne Draht, RTK-Station oder Kartierfahrt
  • Erkennt Grenzen zu Terrasse, Weg und Beet sicher
  • Umfährt Möbel, Bälle, Tiere und Personen früh und ruhig
  • Navigation unbeeinflusst von Bäumen und Hauswänden
  • Gleichmäßiges Schnittbild ohne Büschel bei täglichem Einsatz
  • Im flachen Garten 60 bis 80 min je Akkuladung

Cons

  • Fährt sich in Mulden, Löchern und an 2 bis 3 cm Absätzen fest
  • Zufallsprinzip ohne Karte, Sperrzonen oder Standortanzeige
  • Am Rand bleiben je nach Kante 5 bis 25 cm stehen
  • Keine Diebstahlortung, weder GPS noch eSIM
  • Nur 2,4-GHz-WLAN, Schnitthöhe nur am Gerät verstellbar

Der TerraMow Mini 500 ist ein drahtloser Kamera-Mäher für kleine, ebene Gärten. Er zieht saubere Bahnen und erkennt Hindernisse ungewöhnlich zuverlässig, auch unter Bäumen und an Hauswänden. Der Haken: Hänge über 32,5 % und Stufen überfordern ihn, und am Rand bleiben 10 bis 25 cm für den Trimmer stehen. Für den ganzen Rasen brauchst du stabiles WLAN, weil das 4G-Modul noch fehlt.

Pros

  • Erkennt Ball, Schlauch, Igelattrappe und Zollstock ohne Berührung
  • Navigiert unter Bäumen und an Hauswänden ohne RTK-Station oder Draht
  • Gleichmäßiges Schnittbild in geraden Bahnen, auch bei nassem Gras
  • Akku hält rund 3,5 h, länger als versprochen
  • Umfangreiche App mit Zonen, Sperrzonen und lokaler Home-Assistant-Anbindung
  • Wendet im Dreipunkt-Verfahren und schont weichen Rasen

Cons

  • Rutscht ohne Allrad schon an kleinen Hängen durch, maximal 32,5 %
  • Scheitert an Absätzen ab etwa 4 cm, fiel von 5-cm-Stufe
  • Randstreifen von 10 bis 25 cm an Mauer, Hecke und Zaun
  • 4G-Modul noch nicht erhältlich, Fernsteuerung nur mit WLAN
  • Weicht überhängenden Zweigen weiträumig aus, Empfindlichkeit nicht einstellbar
