Technical comparison · Robot lawn mowers
Two mowers with an onboard camera, in the same price range, built for gardens of different sizes. The deciding figure is the working area declared by the manufacturer: 1500 m² for the Anthbot N8, 3000 m² for the Dreame A2.

How we assign awards →The differences that matter
- Declared area 1500 m² vs 3000 m² → a garden above 1500 m² falls outside the N8's declared range.
- Obstacles: cameras only vs LiDAR plus cameras → the A2 combines two detection systems.
- Built-in cellular connectivity on the N8 → the connection does not rely on home Wi-Fi.
In short
Anthbot N8
The Anthbot N8 navigates with RTK-GNSS (satellite positioning with a correction signal) and cameras, has built-in cellular connectivity and a rain sensor, and is rated IPX6. It suits a lawn of up to 1500 m² that needs to be reachable even where the home Wi-Fi does not reach. Beyond that area the manufacturer's data stops, and obstacles are detected by the cameras alone.
Dreame A2
The Dreame A2 declares 3000 m², a maximum slope of 50% and a cutting height adjustable from 30 to 70 mm. Obstacle detection combines LiDAR (a laser sensor that measures distances) with cameras. It fits a large or sloping garden that would exceed the N8's declared area, and is run from the Dreamehome app.
