Ease of installation and use.
Completely wireless navigation.
Effective obstacle detection.

Inefficient corner mowing.
Wheels can damage wet floors.
Dreame makes a notable entry into the robot lawn mower market with the A1. Thanks to its advanced technologies, such as precise LiDAR navigation, and its ease of use with cable-free installation, it is an efficient and reliable model. Its mowing performance is honorable with a precise and uniform cut, without missed areas on the route. However, some software adjustments seem necessary to improve corner mowing and slope management. In addition, the robot’s thick wheels sometimes tend to damage fragile or wet lawns, especially when maneuvering. Overall, the Dreame A1 shines with its simplicity of installation and use, but does not forget the efficiency of mowing for an almost perfect lawn. You will simply have to remember to use the trimmer about once a week.
Alternatively
With its almost immediate start-up, the Ecovacs Goat GX-600 stands out from the competition and offers immediate, simple and rapid lawn maintenance. Its easy installation, efficient mowing performance and precise navigation make it an excellent choice, especially since it is competitively priced. However, the robot is not made for all gardens and requires many prerequisites to be met, such as clearly defined lawn boundaries and clear separation from flower beds or water points.
