SCORED
A polished premium mower that handles thick grass and slopes well once mapped. PCWorld found automatic mapping unreliable on a complicated lawn and had to map by hand, so expect some setup effort. It is close to the Dreame A3 AWD Pro, so buy whichever is cheaper on the day.
Best for: premium build for sloped mid size lawns. Skip if: you want hands off auto mapping on a complex yard.

- Named Best Premium Pick. Handled thick grass, steep slopes and complex layouts with little intervention after mapping; price was the main drawback.

- On a 7,600 sq ft test lawn, AI mapping failed and the mower left the grass and once fell over a raised edge; manual mapping worked well and the cut was even.
