MOVA 600 review
MOVA's smallest mower, rated for 600 m²: the 1000's 30 m 3D LiDAR, 20 cm cut from 2 to 6 cm and 45% slopes on standard tyres, a 2.5 Ah battery charged in 90 minutes, under 60 dB and 10 kg.

Our verdict
The MOVA 600 is the MOVA 1000 with standard tyres, a slower charger and a smaller area rating. The same 3D LiDAR with 30 m of range and a 360° × 59° field of view maps the garden without a camera, an RTK antenna or a wire, boundaries are driven round with the remote, and the app holds two maps and no-go areas. It cuts 20 cm wide between 2 and 6 cm, set by a button on the body, follows a level border for an edge cut and is rated for 45% slopes. The same 2.5 Ah battery charges at 1.5 A instead of 3 A, so 90 minutes rather than 40, and the table rates it at 600 m² a day in standard mode or 1,000 in the efficient one. At 10 kg it is MOVA's lightest mower, 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. Germany sells it alone or with a year of blades; Poland had sold out.
Pros
- 3D LiDAR with nothing to install, no camera
- 10 kg and under 60 dB
- Rain sensor, lift alarm, two maps, three-year warranty
- Same cut and slope rating as the 1000
Cons
- 90-minute charge at 1.5 A
- Standard tyres where the 1000 has off-road ones
- Cutting height set by hand between 2 and 6 cm
- No runtime, voltage or blade count published; no 4G
Best for
- Small gardens up to 600 m² with trees or walls that block satellites
- Buyers who want a light LiDAR mower for a flat plot
Not recommended for
- Slopes near 45%, where the 1000's off-road tyres are the safer buy
- Lawns above 600 m²
