Pros & cons

Mammotion YUKA mini 2 1000H

  • ✓LiDAR holds a straight line under trees and along fences where the first-gen Yuka mini and other RTK mowers drift
  • ✓Cuts tight to stone and paved borders; reviewers had almost no trimming left
  • ✓Recognizes 300+ objects, including low ones like a glove on the grass, and returns to finish strips it skipped
  • ✓Roughly 2.5 hours per charge from a user-replaceable 6.1 Ah battery
  • ✓App is among the better ones: mowing reports, off-peak charging, Alexa and Google Home
  • ✓About $200 under the Navimow i215 LiDAR with the same 3-year warranty
  • ✗Cut height is a manual dial, not app-adjustable per zone
  • ✗4G module is extra, so remote tracking needs Wi-Fi reach or another $129
  • ✗Added zones must be mapped by hand; there is no auto-map for a second area
  • ✗Rear-drive only and capped at 45 percent slopes, so hilly lots want a Luba mini

Ecovacs GOAT O1000 LiDAR Pro

  • ✗Rear-wheel drive and 45% slope rating; skip it for steep yards
