FAQs

What areas and lawn sizes is the Dreame A1 Pro suitable for?
Depending on the terrain and arrangement, the Dreame A1 Pro can manage medium-to-large lawns, usually up to 2,000 square meters. Although it can handle intricate gardens with several zones, slopes up to 45%, and tight spaces, it performs best in open lawns.

Does the A1 Pro require a perimeter wire installation?
No. The Dreame A1 Pro may be set up wire-free thanks to its  Dreame Roboticmower A1 Pro Lawn Mover sophisticated RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) GPS navigation. This eliminates the need for excavating or installing boundary wires; simply use the app to map your lawn, and the mower will take care of the rest.

How does the mower handle obstacles and pets in the yard?
The A1 Pro has cameras and ultrasonic sensors for real-time obstacle avoidance and AI-powered object detection. It can avoid crashes when navigating around toys, trees, garden furniture, and dogs.

Does the mower mulch or collect grass clippings?
By using a mulching technique, the A1 Pro chops grass clippings finely and then replants them in the ground. This fertilises your grass naturally and removes the need for garbage or bagging.

Can it handle uneven or sloped terrain?
Indeed. The A1 Pro ensures a consistent cut on a variety of terrain by adjusting its speed and blade height for uneven surfaces and handling slopes up to 45% (about 24 degrees).

How does the A1 Pro navigate without a wire?
Even in intricate or multi-zone gardens, the mower maps your lawn and mows with extreme precision using a mix of RTK GPS, vision-based AI, and inertial navigation.
