Pros & cons
Anthbot M5
- ✓Cheapest RTK-plus-vision mower with 4G built in and no subscription for app control
- ✓Ten-minute wire-free setup; reviewers called mapping the easiest part
- ✓Rain sensor and auto-rescheduling around sunrise, sunset and forecast
- ✓On-edge mowing and 20 zones on a mower this small
- ✗Edge passes are slow and reviewers found missed slivers along borders
- ✗Struggles in overgrown grass; it is a maintenance mower, not a first cut
- ✗Runtime, battery size and weight are not published
- ✗NetRTK is only a 3-month trial, so plan on mounting the reference station in open sky
Mammotion Yuka mini
- ✓No RTK station, no wire: plug in the dock, auto-map, mow
- ✓Lowest price of any Mammotion and one of the cheapest vision-assisted mowers with a 3-year warranty
- ✓Quiet enough that owners run it at dawn; clean uniform cut on regular lawns
- ✓AI vision keeps it inside boundaries next to the house where satellite signal fades
- ✓Light 23 pound body is easy to carry between front and back yards
- ✗Owners with slopes or uneven ground report frequent stuck and lift-sensor stops
- ✗Overly cautious around trees and will not go back for patches it avoided
- ✗App is functional but clunky, with occasional connectivity drops and a laggy camera feed
- ✗No built-in 4G, and the 2.0 inch minimum cut is too tall for warm-season lawns
