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)
Mammotion Luba mini 2 AWD
- ✓LiDAR plus cameras map and mow under trees and along the house without any antenna
- ✓Real all-wheel drive on a small mower; owners with slopes say it climbs where single-motor minis quit
- ✓Separate edge cutting disc gets within about 2 inches of walls and reduces trimming
- ✓Owners repeatedly call setup easy and praise responsive Mammotion support
- ✓Built-in 4G with 3 years of service and a 3-year warranty
- ✗7.8 inch main deck makes it slow on anything over a third of an acre
- ✗Edge disc height is fixed, so it may not match a low main-deck setting
- ✗Multi-zone mapping has a learning curve and wet grass packs clippings under the deck
- ✗Amazon and Mammotion sell it bundled with a garage, so the bare-unit price is the same $1,699
