What testers found
Testers disagree about the edge. heise measured 3 to 5 cm against a fixed boundary and rates only the Dreame A3 AWDAWD (all-wheel drive)Every wheel drives (usually four, occasionally three depending on the model), which helps on slopes, soft ground and wet grass.

Watchout / Limitation
Measure your passages before buying, and plan on mapping by hand. heise also saw the LiDAR shut down on hot days.

What the tests say
The LiDAX Ultra AWD (1000/1600) series offers superb hill-climbing performance with its 4-wheel drive system. Testers like Freshly Charged praise its ability to handle steep 80% slopes.
