Our verdict
The A2 1200 is the small, two-wheel-drive Dreame, and its German page is unusually complete. OmniSense 2.0 pairs a 360° 3D LiDAR with 70 m of range and a 1080p HDR camera, so it maps 1,200 m² without an RTK antenna or a boundary wire and reads obstacles by image and by shape. It cuts 22 cm wide between 3 and 7 cm high, keeps under 5 cm from the edge, climbs 50% slopes on two hub-driven wheels and manages 800 m² a day in standard mode or 1,600 in the efficient one. It stays under 55 dB, weighs 16.3 kg, stores two maps, tracks itself over 4G and Google Maps with a year of service included, and carries a three-year warranty. The 4 Ah battery comes with no voltage, runtime or charging time, and the table lists no rain sensor and no PIN lock.
