Picked for one job

A safe connecting route matters as much as zone count

Top pick

MOVA LiDAX Ultra 2000

MOVA LiDAX Ultra 2000

Up to 150 managed zones and two maps are listed for each of MOVA LiDAX Ultra 2000 and Dreame A3 AWD 2000. LUBA 3 AWD 3000H now lists up to 100 zones, plus a 2.2-4-inch high-cut range on a three-quarter-acre platform. Keep in mind that a zone ceiling neither enlarges the supported area nor proves that disconnected sections have a safe connecting route.

Why it suits this job

  • Published zone cap
  • Support for separate maps
The catch
On severe banks, an AWD mower is the better match than this two-wheel-drive model.
Go with Dreame A3 AWD 2000 if
You want all-wheel drive and a current 150-zone system for a half-acre lawn.
