Roborock RockMow Z1 LiDAR flagship mower review

The Roborock RockMow Z1 LiDAR, a flagship robotic lawn mower priced at nearly 3,000 euros, features advanced hardware including all-wheel drive, active steering, LiDAR, and an optional edge-cutting module.

Despite its strong technical specifications and solid off-road capabilities, testing indicates that the device's performance is hindered by software limitations. Key issues identified include unreliable obstacle detection and suboptimal edge-mowing performance, even when using the specialized module. While the hardware provides high maneuverability and effective navigation in most cases, the software requires further refinement to compete effectively with rivals like the Dreame A3 AWD Pro and Mova LiDAX Ultra AWD.
