Our verdict
The LiDAX Ultra 1600 is the one of the three that changes more than its rating. The battery grows to 5 Ah for 70 to 90 minutes per charge, recharged in 65 minutes, and the 4G link module comes in the box with a year of service, so the theft tracking works from day one. The rest is the LiDAX recipe: a 70 m 3D LiDAR with a camera and no antenna or wire, 300 obstacle types, edges under 5 cm, 3 to 10 cm of cutting height on a 20 cm disc, 45% slopes on rear-wheel drive, 4 cm obstacles, 60 cm passages, two maps, 150 zones, 57 dB, IPX6 and 13.8 kg. Area per charge is still quoted at 170 to 190 m², so 1,600 m² means many sessions, and the table still lists no rain sensor. It is the LiDAX to buy when the garden is large and the 4G matters; a steep garden is better served by the AWD.
Pros
- 5 Ah battery, 70 to 90 minutes per charge
- 4G module and a year of service in the box
- 3D LiDAR and a camera, edges under 5 cm, 300 obstacle types
- Under 57 dB, 13.8 kg, IPX6
Cons
- 170 to 190 m² per charge against a 1,600 m² rating
- 20 cm cut, 45% slopes
- Rear-wheel drive only
- No rain sensor in the table
Best for
- Gardens up to 1,600 m² with tree cover
- Owners who want theft tracking without buying a module
Not recommended for
- Steep gardens, where the AWD earns its price
- Lawns that must be finished in one pass
