Pros & cons
Hookii Neomow X 2
- ✓LiDAR positioning needs no antenna, no open sky and no satellites, so it maps under canopy and mows at night
- ✓Runtime is up 25% over the Neomow X on the same battery, with 200 minutes on the PRO
- ✓PRO auto-maps with its triple-camera module; a reviewer mapped four separate areas in about 15 minutes
- ✓Straight parallel rows and 30 in passage clearance in real-yard testing
- ✓Four coverage trims on one body, all with 4G, GPS tracking and a 2-year warranty
- ✓All four trims are on Amazon, unlike the first-gen X whose stock came and went
- ✗No edge blade; expect to trim along fences and walls
- ✗Front-wheel drive makes the 45% slope rating optimistic on wet grass
- ✗Auto-mapping and the 500-model camera are PRO-only unless you buy the add-on module
- ✗Hookii lists no rain sensor on the spec sheet
- ✗Base charge is a slow 150 minutes (190 on the PRO)
Hookii Neomow X
- ✓LiDAR positioning works under dense trees, beside buildings and at night where RTK mowers lose lock
- ✓Mapping is a one-time 45-minute drive-around; reviewers found the app simple and two taps deep
- ✓Quiet at under 60 dB with a clean parallel-line cut once pass spacing is tightened
- ✓Owners on Hookii's site report it handles clay, holes and dogs without getting stuck
- ✓4G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in with a free 4G starter allowance
- ✗Leaves roughly 2 inches uncut at hard edges; plan on a string trimmer
- ✗Front-wheel drive slips on damp slopes well below the 45 percent rating
- ✗Charging contacts can misalign on uneven turf; reviewers shimmed the dock
- ✗Camera obstacle avoidance is weaker in darkness despite LiDAR navigation working at night
- ✗North American stock is intermittent and the X Pro is often unavailable
