A strong climber that does not depend on satellites, which helps in yards with trees and buildings. The 2500 was steeply discounted on Dreame's store on our check date, which makes it good value when in stock. Gizmodo saw ruts and bald spots on damp slopes, so soft lawns may suffer.
Best for: steep lawns with poor satellite signal. Skip if: your turf is soft and often wet.

- AWD climbing praised by Bob Vila
- No RTK, wire or antenna
- Wide 15.8 in deck
- Deep discount on the 2500 at check time
- Left ruts and bald spots on damp inclines (Gizmodo)
- Auto mapping did not finish complex yards
- Notebookcheck slope test reached about 70%, not 80%
- Warranty listing unclear
- Named Best for Steep Slopes. AWD kept traction on slopes that slowed other mowers; mapping was straightforward; handled thick St. Augustine.
- Bob Vila
- Tested the 3500 version: satellite free navigation and good handling of tight spaces and inclines, but left ruts and bald spots near the dock and on damp slopes; auto mapping covered only the main open area.
- Gizmodo · 3.5/5
- Tested the 3500 against the Mova LiDAX Ultra: reached just over 70% on the slope ramp versus the 80% claim; covered about 600 m² per charge; about 60 dB at 1 m.

Questions buyers ask
How is it different from the Mova LiDAX Ultra?
Bob Vila notes the two share a parent company, hardware and software, and scored them nearly the same.
Does it need RTK?
No. Dreame markets it as no RTK and no wires, using LiDAR and cameras.
