Dreame A2
The Dreame company, which is well known for its robotic vacuum cleaners, entered the robotic lawnmower market in 2023 with the launch of its first model, the Dreame A1. This model quickly gained traction, especially in the Nordic countries, thanks to its impressive precision and user-friendly installation. It was precisely the precise cutting and the smooth process of setting it up that contributed to its becoming a blockbuster.
This year, during the prestigious technology fair IFA in Berlin, Dreame presented its sequel — the Dreame A2. This model has received a series of updates and new features that take the user experience to the next level. One of the most prominent novelties is the implementation of OmniSense 2.0, an advanced sensor set that, together with a new front camera, will allow the robot to even better detect and avoid small obstacles on the lawn. This technique is directly inspired by that used in Dreames robot vacuum cleaners, in which the robot avoids furniture and other objects in the home in a similar way.
The installation of the Dreame A2 has also been further simplified. Thanks to the improved mapping technology, the robot can now sense the boundaries of the lawn itself, which means that the user only needs to position the robot and start the process - the rest is handled by the robot automatically. This is yet another similarity to Dream's vacuum cleaner models, where automated mapping and navigation have been one of the main strengths.
Another new feature that stands out is EdgeCut. It allows the cutting disc to move sideways, which means that the robot can now cut grass up to 5 cm from the edge of the lawn, something that has previously been difficult to achieve with many robotic lawnmowers. This improvement means that the user does not have to go after a manual edger, saving both time and effort.
In addition, the Dreame A2 has received an upgraded body. Not only is the new design aesthetically pleasing with an updated color palette, but the material has also been improved to be more robust and durable, allowing the robot to handle tougher lawn conditions and withstand the elements in an even better way than its predecessor.
Worx Landroid Vision L1300-WR213E
The Worx Landroid L1300 is truly an impressive robotic lawnmower that is equipped with advanced technology and smart features. This model is perfectly suited for lawns with an area of up to 1300 square meters, and with its mowing width of 22 centimeters, it can quickly cover large areas. The electronic mowing system with adjustable cutting height makes it easy to adapt the mowing to the specific needs of the lawn, which is essential for maintaining a healthy and well-groomed lawn.
One of the great advantages of the Landroid L1300 is that it does not require a limiting cable or loop, which makes the installation process significantly easier and smoother. In addition, it is equipped with a smart app control that enables clipping scheduling, multi-cut zone management, and over-the-air (OAT) updates.
The navigation system on the Landroid L1300 is impressive and differs from many other robotic lawnmowers. Instead of relying on GPS or RTK, it uses a powerful wide-angle full HD camera to accurately control its route and avoid obstacles. The deeply trained neural network allows for quick decisions and precision in mowing, regardless of the conditions of the garden, including difficult lighting conditions.
With its 4.0 Ah battery and fast charging times, the Landroid L1300 minimizes the time it spends at rest and keeps the lawn well-groomed.
Although there have been reports of some temporary problems with the app control, the benefits of Worx outweigh the Landroid L1300. It offers advanced technology, easy operation and reliable clipping. For those who are after the latest technology in robotic lawnmowers and are willing to make an initial investment, the Landroid L1300 is a great choice for keeping the garden well-trimmed and tidy with minimal effort.
