Our verdict
The N8 is a mower with a grass catcher. Besides mowing and mulching it collects clippings and sweeps leaves into a 23 L bag that it empties by itself, which Anthbot says catches 99% of the cut. A 20 cm cutter with six blades turns at 4,000 rpm, with the height adjusted automatically between 3 and 7 cm; the bag is meant for clippings over 3 cm and for leaves, and for mulching a separate disc and deflector go on. It positions by full-band RTK against the reference station in the box, with two 150° HDR cameras for obstacles, plans up to 30 zones and climbs 45% (15% along the boundary). The table gives a 9.2 Ah, 198 Wh battery, 90 minutes a charge, 80 minutes to recharge, 135 m² an hour and 16.5 kg. The noise figures disagree: the pages say 58 dB mowing (60 dB at most in standard mode) and the table 68 dB collecting, while the manual declares 68 dB(A) of sound pressure in silent mode and 75 dB(A) in standard mode.
Pros
- Mows, mulches, collects and sweeps leaves into a self-emptying 23 L bag
- Full-band RTK, two cameras and 4G with a year of service included
- 90 minutes a charge, 1,500 m² and 30 zones
- Battery, runtime, charging time, size and weight all published
Cons
- The manual declares 68 to 75 dB(A); the pages say 58 to 60 dB mowing
- A reference station to install; no N8 page says network RTK replaces it
- 16.5 kg, and 33.3 cm tall even without the bag
- No edge mowing claimed, two-wheel drive
Best for
- Lawns up to 1,500 m² where clippings and autumn leaves should not stay on the grass
- Buyers who want to switch between collecting and mulching
Not recommended for
- Buyers for whom a quiet machine comes first
- Lawns above 1,500 m²
