Our take
Roborock RockNeo Q1
A good-value wire-free mower for smaller gardens with reliable navigation and a clear app. The optional edge-cutting hardware is clever, but overly cautious software stops it delivering the near-perfect border cut it promises.
Reviewers praise reliable RTK navigation, solid obstacle detection, straightforward setup and a sensible entry price.
Overhanging plants and even shadows can make it back away from edges, off-road ability is limited and the dock is not included in the headline price.
Lawns suited to everyday lawn-care platform.
Buyers who need a robot that is available to buy immediately.

What reviewers found
Notebookcheck found solid ordinary navigation and a clear app, but the optional edge cutter could not overcome overly cautious routing. The main disappointment was grass left around objects and overhanging plants.
The hardware promise meets the boundary
On the tested Q105, the PreciEdge module theoretically reached close to borders, yet the mower often diverted too far away. Overhanging plants and sometimes shadows left substantial uncut areas even with edge avoidance disabled. The reviewer hoped for a software improvement; that is not confirmation that one has arrived.
[1]Normal use was more convincing
Pairing and setup worked, and the app was organised clearly despite having fewer controls than some rivals. Navigation and object detection were otherwise solid. Initial steering sensitivity improved during the test after updates.
[1]Know the package
This was the smaller Q105 with an optional edge module and a physical RTK antenna. Cutting height was adjusted manually for the whole mower. Results do not establish the larger Q110’s endurance, and a base-price comparison should not silently include the optional cutter.
