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 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
