These indicators are computed by SpecsLib from official manufacturer specs. They do not appear as such in any brand's documentation.
Area / Price12 sq ft/€
Square feet covered per euro spent. The higher the ratio, the better the area-to-price value.
Mowing density6,920 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 score80/100 (Exceptional)
Normalised score based on the declared maximum slope (80%). 100 = mechanical limit, 0 = flat ground.

This model's technologies, against the evidence
What the brand promises, what independent tests actually found, and the limit to plan around.
Mammotion AWD
Brand Promise
Four driven wheels, one motor each and suspension, rated for an 80% slope, roughly 38°, over roots and broken ground.
What testers found
The measurements do not line up. heise took the LUBA mini AWDAWD (all-wheel drive)Every wheel drives (usually four, occasionally three depending on the model), which helps on slopes, soft ground and wet grass. up to 38.6°, which confirms the order of magnitude. Notebookcheck did not verify the 80% figure on the LUBA 2 AWD and reports the manufacturer's number as such. On the LUBA 3 AWD 3000 the claimed slope did hold; on the 1500, testit.de saw the mower negotiate a slope without spinning out but did not measure it.
Watchout / Limitation
Traction is paid for in turf. Notebookcheck found the wheels plough the garden on soft or waterlogged ground. That is the other side of the slope figure, and it shows up in the first wet spring.

Mammotion LiDAR + NetRTK
Brand Promise
LiDARLiDARLaser distance sensing used for mapping and detection. takes over when the satellite signal drops, and NetRTKNetRTKNetwork-assisted RTK designed to reduce reliance on a local antenna. removes the reference antenna you would otherwise plant in the garden.
What testers found
heise got the LiDAR variant through a passage under one metre wide between two buildings, where the RTK-only versions stayed stuck for lack of sky view. The price is time and range: 250 m2 per charge against 350 m2 for the RTK version, and 93 minutes for 181 m2 where an ECOVACS with a 33 cm deck took 74.

Watchout / Limitation
To clear the tightest passages, heise had to switch obstacle detectionObstacle detectionThe mower's ability to see an object in its path and go around it instead of pushing it. off. LiDAR buys navigation, not speed.

What the tests say
LUBA mini AWD LiDAR is the most technical model in the mini family, combining 144-channel LiDAR, NetRTK, AI vision and AWD. It is the version to shortlist for shaded areas, tricky passages or when you want to reduce dependence on a physical RTK station. Its real limitation is less the spec sheet than local iNavi/NetRTK availability and pricing.
