What independent testers found
Findings from published hands-on tests, separate from the manufacturer figures in the table above.
Only Anthbot N8 has independent tests processed so far, so the field-findings comparison is one-sided.
Anthbot N8
- Leaves scattered for the test weren't all picked up per home&smart, despite an otherwise good result on cut grass
- Detection falls short on smaller objects (under 10 cm/4 in, or colored close to the grass) per Tristan, versus the 100% detection rate home&smart reports on its own course, tennis balls included -- an unresolved disagreement between the two tests
- Fitted with the bin or deflector, the machine becomes noticeably less at ease in small gardens or tight corners, a finding shared by both tests (nearly one meter/3.3 ft long per home&smart versus 610 mm/24 in for the bare chassis per the manufacturer; the rear bin is the cause per Tristan)
