What independent testers found
Findings from published hands-on tests, separate from the manufacturer figures in the table above.
Only MOVA LiDAX Ultra 2000 has independent tests processed so far, so the field-findings comparison is one-sided.
Dreame Roboticmower A1
MOVA LiDAX Ultra 2000
- Real-world half-acre per-charge coverage doubted by AppleInsider's own tester on his lawn
- AppleInsider's tester judges it best suited to a relatively flat yard with few obstacles; some slopes and holes remain a challenge in his experience
- Included 4G service duration was not the same on the two units tested: 3 years on the German unit (Roboter-Forum also documents 1 year on the 1600 variant), 1 year shown on the US unit, with no documented reason for the gap on the 2000
