These indicators are computed by SpecsLib from official manufacturer specs. They do not appear as such in any brand's documentation.
Area / Price8 sq ft/€
Square feet covered per euro spent. The higher the ratio, the better the area-to-price value.
Mowing density7,176 sq ft/hr
SpecsLib estimate (max area ÷ runtime), not published by the manufacturer: actual mowing time includes mapping, obstacle avoidance and recharging, so this figure likely overstates real-world throughput.
Slope score45/100 (Good)
Normalised score based on the declared maximum slope (45%). 100 = mechanical limit, 0 = flat ground.

What the tests say
The Anthbot M9 PRO is the top-tier 1,000 m2 model in the M series, fusing 3D LiDAR, RTK/NetRTK 4G and dual AI cameras, at EUR 1,299 in Europe. Two hands-on tests published in July 2026 (mein Gartenexperte and Deskmodder.de, both in Germany) confirm a clean, precise cut, along with edge cutting judged successful: mein Gartenexperte credits the brand's own EdgeWiz feature for its extensive per-zone settings; Deskmodder.de calls it a real strength without naming it. Both also praise a very complete app managing many distinct zones, though the exact figure differs: 32 zones at mein Gartenexperte, 30 at Deskmodder.de. Two weak points also emerge from both tests: obstacle detection misses small objects left on the ground (a blue ball at mein Gartenexperte, a solar lamp at Deskmodder.de), the mower having no mechanical bumper and relying solely on LiDAR and cameras; and automatic mapping shows limits in practice, mein Gartenexperte citing trouble near flower beds and shrubs, Deskmodder.de citing more general inaccuracies. On NetRTK/4G connectivity, Anthbot documents a free first year (confirmed by our own spec sheet and by mein Gartenexperte, who puts the subscription afterward at EUR 39.90 per year, a cost this tester explicitly lists among the weak points); Deskmodder.de instead mentions only 3 free months, an isolated figure that contradicts both the manufacturer and the other test. Either way the cost stays avoidable: a physical RTK antenna ships in the box and enables free use for life, a detail only mein Gartenexperte adds. On slopes, mein Gartenexperte observes good straight-line traction up to the claimed 45% limit, but an occasional sideways slip when turning near that limit, and notes the M9 PRO only has two powered rear wheels, with no all-wheel drive; Deskmodder.de simply rates slope handling up to 45% as reliable, without mentioning either caveat. Each test also reports isolated points the other doesn't confirm: mein Gartenexperte notes a brief blade-spin delay after the mower is lifted, no live camera feed in the app, plastics judged less than premium for the price, and dedicated edge mowing available only in full-map mode, not per sub-zone; Deskmodder.de finds the advertised 10-minute installation unrealistic, flags screw threads that strip easily, software sometimes too cautious that leaves patches of grass uncut, and no offline mode at all, an account and the cloud being mandatory. Both test units were provided free of charge by Anthbot for the test period; Deskmodder.de in fact labels its article as advertising, a disclosure tied to the loaned hardware. Bottom line: for a roughly 1,000 m2 property with clear boundaries, cleared of clutter before each mow, the M9 PRO delivers on its navigation promise; for a garden with irregular edges or where young children or pets are often present, plan to clear the lawn before each session and expect to redo parts of the map by hand.
Strengths reviewers highlight
What public reviews and owner feedback most often praise.
- Clean, precise cut confirmed by both testers (mein Gartenexperte, Deskmodder.de)
- Edge cutting judged successful by both testers (the EdgeWiz feature per mein Gartenexperte, not named but described as a real strength by Deskmodder.de)
- App judged very complete by both testers, with advanced multi-zone management (32 zones per mein Gartenexperte, 30 per Deskmodder.de)
Limits found in reviews
Consolidated watchouts identified by SpecsLib to help evaluate fit for your lawn and budget.
- NetRTK/4G connectivity free for the first year per Anthbot, confirmed by mein Gartenexperte (EUR 39.90/year afterward, a cost this tester lists among the weak points); Deskmodder.de wrongly mentions only 3 free months, an isolated figure that contradicts both the manufacturer and the other test; either way the cost is avoidable thanks to the included RTK antenna, free for life
- Obstacle detection caught out by small objects on the ground, observed independently by both testers (a blue ball at mein Gartenexperte, a solar lamp at Deskmodder.de), in the absence of a mechanical bumper
- Automatic mapping showing limits in practice per both testers (trouble near flower beds and shrubs per mein Gartenexperte, more general inaccuracies per Deskmodder.de)
- 45% maximum slope well handled in a straight line per mein Gartenexperte, which notes an occasional sideways slip when turning near that limit and points out the M9 PRO only has two powered rear wheels, no all-wheel drive; Deskmodder.de rates it reliable without mentioning either caveat
- Blades keep spinning for about one second after the mower is lifted, per mein Gartenexperte
- Dedicated edge mowing available only in full-map mode, not per sub-zone, per mein Gartenexperte
- No live camera feed in the app, per mein Gartenexperte
- Plastics judged less than premium for the EUR 1,299 price tag, per mein Gartenexperte
- The advertised 10-minute installation promise judged unrealistic, per Deskmodder.de
- Screws with fragile threading that strips easily, per Deskmodder.de
- Software judged often too cautious, leaving patches unmown due to excessive safety margins, per Deskmodder.de
- No offline operation at all, an account and the cloud are mandatory, per Deskmodder.de
Each published test
Our summary of each published test, with the link to read it.
- mein GartenexperteHands-on testin GermanRead the testPraised
- Fast setup via NetRTK: ready to work within a few minutes of plugging in the charging station, no need to plant the RTK antenna
- Automatic mapping works well as long as lawn edges are clearly defined, saving real time versus manual tracing
- Good straight-line traction on the test property's moderate slopes, no visible loss of grip
- Clean, even cut across the whole test property, no missed strips of grass after several full passes
- Extensive per-zone edge settings (EdgeWiz feature), letting the chassis run flush over level surfaces like paving
- Compact and light (just over 10 kg), easy to lift and carry, with a dedicated handle under the chassis
- Very complete app, managing up to 32 zones each with their own cutting height, mowing direction and speed
Faulted- Obstacle detection could be better: a small blue ball left on the lawn was driven into repeatedly before the mower stopped and backed up, with no mechanical bumper (detection relies solely on LiDAR and cameras)
- Blades keep spinning for about one second after the mower is lifted
- Automatic mapping struggles near flower beds and shrubs, sometimes requiring a manual redo
- Remote steering is very responsive, requiring careful handling in tight areas
- Plastics felt less than premium for the EUR 1,299 price tag
- Occasional sideways slip while turning on slopes near the claimed 45% maximum, sometimes needing several attempts, on a two-rear-wheel-only drivetrain (no all-wheel drive)
- Dedicated edge mowing is only available in full-map mode, not per sub-zone
- No live camera feed in the app
- NetRTK/4G connectivity is free only for the first year (one year included, confirmed by Anthbot), then billed at EUR 39.90 per year, unless using the included RTK antenna, which stays free for life

- Handles slopes up to 45% reliably
- Multi-zone management, up to 30 zones, with route planning between separate zones
- Customizable edge overrun settings per segment
- App judged comprehensive, with correctly worded German menus and help text
Faulted- Obstacle detection not flawless in testing: a solar lamp left on the lawn was struck without being spotted beforehand
- The advertised "10-minute installation" promise does not match the reality experienced
- NetRTK connectivity free for only 3 months, recurring costs afterward
- Screw threads that strip easily, even under light force
- Software judged often too cautious, leaving patches of grass uncut due to excessive safety margins
- Automatic mapping showing accuracy gaps in practice
- No offline operation intended by the manufacturer, an account and the cloud are required
