Dreame's mowers: one platform, from 1,000 to 5,000 m²

Dreame's mowers position by LiDAR, with no satellite fix needed and nothing to install; all but the A1 Pro add a camera and detect obstacles by fusing the two, where the A1 Pro uses its 3D LiDAR alone. The A3 AWD Pro 5000, A3 AWD Pro 3500 and A3 AWD Pro 2500 are the same all-wheel-drive machine rated for 5,000, 3,500 and 2,500 m², with a 400 mm cut from 30 to 100 mm, an 80% slope rating and an 800 mm minimum passage. The A3 AWD 2000 and A3 AWD 1000 keep the all-wheel drive and the 80% slope on a 200 mm deck for 2,000 and 1,000 m², pass 600 mm gaps and add a rain sensor. The A2 3000 and A2 1200 are the two-wheel-drive models for flatter gardens, rated for 50% slopes and 3,000 and 1,200 m² with a 220 mm cut; the A1 Pro is a two-wheel-drive machine for 2,000 m² and 45% slopes on the same 220 mm deck.

What to check before buying a Dreame mower

  • Sky is not required. LiDAR positioning works under trees and beside walls, where an RTK mower loses its fix; a bare, featureless lawn gives it less to hold on to.
  • Slopes. The A3 AWD models are rated for 80%, the A2 for 50% and the A1 Pro for 45%. Measure the steepest bank before choosing.
  • Passages. 800 mm on the A3 AWD Pro models, 600 mm on the A3 AWD 1000 and 2000; Dreame publishes no figure for the A2 or the A1 Pro.
  • What is not published. Dreame states no runtime for these models, so our tables say so rather than guess.

The rankings this hub draws on: best robot mowers without a boundary wire, with LiDAR, for slopes and with all-wheel drive. Every score is computed as described in how we score.
