MOVA 1000
MOVA's first mower, rated for 1,000 m²: a 30 m 3D LiDAR with no camera, RTK or wire, a 20 cm cut from 2 to 6 cm set by hand, 45% slopes on off-road tyres, a 40-minute charge, under 60 dB and 11.7 kg.

Our verdict
The MOVA 1000 is the machine MOVA launched with, whose page now carries the full table it once lacked. UltraView maps the garden with a 3D LiDAR of 30 m range and a 360° × 59° field of view, enough for 1,000 m², with no camera, no RTK antenna and no wire; boundaries are driven round with the remote, and the app holds two maps, zones and no-go areas. It cuts 20 cm wide between 2 and 6 cm, set by a button on the body rather than from the app, follows a level border for an edge cut and climbs 45% on the off-road tyres that distinguish it from the 600. The 2.5 Ah battery charges at 3 A in 40 minutes, which MOVA qualifies elsewhere as 15 to 90%, and the table rates it at 800 m² a day in standard mode or 1,200 in the efficient one. It weighs 11.7 kg, stays under 60 dB, is sealed to IPX6, returns to the station in rain, sounds an alarm when lifted and carries a three-year warranty. MOVA prints no runtime, voltage or blade count and names no 4G module; the newer LiDAX Ultra adds a camera and 70 m of range.
Pros
- 3D LiDAR with no camera, antenna or wire to install
- 40-minute charge at 3 A, off-road tyres
- Under 60 dB, 11.7 kg, IPX6
- Rain sensor, lift alarm, two maps and a three-year warranty
Cons
- 30 m LiDAR range, less than half the LiDAX Ultra's
- Cutting height set by hand between 2 and 6 cm
- No runtime, voltage or blade count published; no 4G
- 2.5 Ah battery, so 1,000 m² takes several sessions
Best for
- Gardens up to 1,000 m² with trees or walls that block satellites
- Buyers who want the simplest MOVA LiDAR mower
Not recommended for
- Slopes above 45%
- Owners who want to set the cutting height from the app
