Would A1 Pro be fit for my lawn?
Hi,
looking to buy my first robot lawn mower, my property is around 2000m2 combined and it includes the house.
The A1 Pro is rated for 2000m2, so it should be sufficient, right?
How does this model compare to Mammotion brand, is Dreame good? The A1 Pro is on sale for 950€, Europe! : )

I also plan to buy this but I have a lot of fruit trees and uneven ground

Is it the property size or the mowing area? If the lawn is only a fraction of the 2000m2, you're probably nowhere near the limit.

950€ sounds like a pretty attractive price. If your usable lawn area is under the rated limit, I'd definitely be tempted to try it.

Buying a robotic mower from a robotic vacuum company is odd.

Why? Wouldn’t that indicate that the company has more experience in the overall robot market?

Mowing isn't vacuuming dude. Would you buy a car from Google?

The hard part is the route planning and building a hardware product that can drive around without breaking. That doesn’t change much whether the robot holds a vacuum or a spinning blade.
I think the better comparison is whether you’d buy a Honda boat engine after using their cars, or an Apple iPhone after using their computers.

1 A robot doesn't hold a vacuum.
2 Comparing a bladed mower that could harm someone or a pet to a vacuum mop tells me you have no clue what you're talking about. You must be in Europe to make such an asinine comparison.
3 Honda makes engines and Apple makes electronics. Both have a phenomenal portfolio of amazing products with proven track records. Now let's do Dreame. What's their claim to fame? Nothing. Got it.
4 Dreame is trying to move into the robotic mower race because Chinese robotic vacuum companies like Dreame saturated the market with trash people don't want to buy. Now they're trying to diversify because the writing is in the wall. Robotic vacuums hold a 25% market share that 4-5 Chinese companies are fighting to lead.
5 Dreame literally just copied Ecovacs GOAT design. Look at that innovation and ingenuity. 🙄
6 You bought a water gun to a duel. Sit this one out.

I have that mower but for less than 800 square meters. It works for me so far, though I only installed it two weeks ago.
One thing you should consider is that the 2000 square meters is a hard limit. It will not map more than that, to my understanding. So either make sure your total lawn area is below 2000, or get the A1 Pro and a smaller mower for the smallest part of your lawn, or mow it yourself. Or get a mower that can handle more than 2000 square meters.
As for the lawn itself, it looks flat and not a whole lot of objects or complexity. The A1 Pro will mow it perfectly fine. Just not more than 2000 square meters. Mine handles slopes and bad sections and you have none of that.
And I have to point out that as a Swede, your language looks silly. 😁
Edit: And 950 euro is a great price if you decide to go for it. Just make sure it can handle your lawn. You don't want your first to be a bad experience.
