What the tests say
Reviews are generally positive, with Basic Tutorials and Maniaques.fr agreeing on the effectiveness of the ViAX 500's obstacle detection and its low noise level. The simple mechanical cutting height adjustment and practical dual-map management (doubling coverage up to 1000 m2) are also praised. However, both testers point out struggles along lawn edges. Additionally, there is a divergence regarding the 40% slope climbing claims: Basic Tutorials finds no issues even on slightly damp surfaces, while Maniaques.fr considers the 40% mark highly optimistic, noting the single rear caster wheel struggles on bumpy terrain.
