Admit it, if you own a robotic floor cleaner, you’ve looked at it and thought “why can’t you mow my lawn, too?” Robot lawn mowers aren’t new, but they’re notorious for short battery life and — far worse — the frustrating task of burying perimeter wires and setting up GPS base stations to establish boundaries so it doesn’t roll into the street to meet an untimely end.
Not surprisingly, the maker of that robotic floor cleaner (if you’ve chosen wisely) is the one that has redefined the robotic lawn mower. Dreame’s A3 AWD Pro is ready to go from unboxing to mowing without those long hours of setup, and it’s one of our favorite Prime Day deals after a $700 discount that drops its price from $3,200 to $2,500 at both Amazon and the official Dreame site.
The A3 AWD Pro can tackle slopes of up to 80% in grade — another test most existing robot mowers fail — and can hug borders and edges within 1.2 inches. It uses Dreame’s 360-degree 3D LiDAR and binocular AI vision to map your yard on its first run, and it remembers it without needing buried wires or a mounted antenna which frequently drops the signal. In fact, there’s no signal to drop at all. “Set and forget” has finally made its way to the robotic lawn mower.
