- No wire, no RTK antenna and no base station to place: LiDAR maps the yard from the app
- Keeps its position under trees and eaves where satellite mowers lose signal
- Up to 100 zones and no-go areas for awkward, multi-part yards
- Fits through 31.5 in passages between front and back yards
- Rear-wheel drive limits it to moderate 42% slopes
- Narrow 7 in cut makes for slow passes
- Cutting height is set by hand on the mower, not in the app
- Tom’s Guide found it weak at edges, and it stopped working after a heavy rainstorm despite its IPX6 rating

Independent tests
What independent reviewers measured in their own yards. Lawns, grass and settings differ, so these are reported as written and not scored.
| Tested by | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Tom's Guide | On the first cut, a charge lasted about 90 minutes. The test lawn was about 5,875 sq ft in two zones, and the backyard took just under 2 hours of cutting. |
