Roborock RockNeo Q1 review finds edge‑cutting module underperforms despite solid navigation
The entry‑level Roborock RockNeo Q1 robot lawn mower is priced from €799 in Europe, with an optional PreciEdge edge‑cutting add‑on costing about €100. The mower is promoted as capable of near‑perfect edge trimming, but tests show the feature falls short because the navigation system is overly cautious, creating wide detours around obstacles and leaving uncut strips of grass and shadows.
Navigation and obstacle detection are reliable when equipped with an RTK antenna, and the companion app is well organized though it offers fewer settings than rivals. The unit lacks live‑video streaming and has limited off‑road capability. A software update could address the edge‑cutting issue. The RockNeo Q1 covers up to 500 m²; a larger Q110 model covering up to 1,000 m² is priced at €1,199.
