Pros & cons
Airseekers Tron SE
- ✓Same FlowCut double-mulch deck as the Tron, which reviewers of that model called a standout
- ✓65 percent driving slope on dual rear hub motors, well beyond most sub-$1,200 mowers
- ✓Built-in 4G network RTK means no reference antenna to mount, plus GPS tracking
- ✓Omni front wheels replace the toed-in casters that scuffed turf on early Trons
- ✓Swappable 10 Ah battery, rain sensor, 80 zones and a 3-year warranty at $1,099
- ✗120 minute runtime and about 0.12 acre per charge; a full 0.37 acre lawn needs three or four cycles
- ✗Single 140 degree camera sees less than the Tron's 300 degree array, so edges and low obstacles are riskier
- ✗No independent long-term test of the SE exists yet; only 10 reviews on the maker's site
- ✗Fixed 8.66 inch disc with no wide-blade option, and 65 dB is louder than the sub-60 dB class

- ✓3-year warranty and a 30-day return window
- ✓Owners note recent firmware updates fixed early RTK and navigation glitches
- ✗Runs over sticks, bricks and cords below bumper height; reviewers had to rescue it repeatedly
