## Useworthy take

This is one of the clearest “smart convenience vs. reliability” products: independent tests praise setup and cut quality but document slope, mapping and firmware issues.

## Purchase context

- Market: Europe / North America
- Price: About €1,799 EU list when reviewed
- Work-saved potential: Medium–High
- Setup burden: Very low
- Smart premium: The smart value is setup simplicity: vision-only navigation with no wire or RTK antenna. The trade-off is terrain capability and software dependence.

## Manufacturer claims

- **Navigation:** Vision-based; no perimeter wire / RTK base (manufacturer)
- **Coverage:** Up to about 1,200 m² class
- **Slope:** 18° class in official/spec coverage
- **Mapping:** Automatic visual mapping
