MOVA ViAX 500
Despite the “500” name, the current French page lists 600 m². UltraEyes 2.0 combines dual vision with 360° LiDAR, unlike the dual-camera ViAX 250. No boundary wire or RTK antenna is required. The 60 cm passage and 40% slope are laboratory claims.
Installation and suitable lawn
Despite the “500” name, the current French page lists 600 m². UltraEyes 2.0 combines dual vision with 360° LiDAR, unlike the dual-camera ViAX 250. No boundary wire or RTK antenna is required. The 60 cm passage and 40% slope are laboratory claims.
Mowing, edges and settings
Cutting width is 20 cm and height 20–60 mm. Modes cover the full lawn, zones, spots and edges. MOVA claims 90–100 minutes per charge; 120 m² per charge is not guaranteed in a fragmented lawn. Ride-on edges must be level with the grass.
Maintenance, equipment and running costs
MOVA states 60-minute charging for the 4 Ah battery. The connection module is optional: check hardware and service costs before relying on remote monitoring. Spare blades are in the manufacturer package; garage inclusion varies. Maintain the disc and sensor surfaces as instructed.
Weight, dimensions and source discrepancies
Both the manual and Amazon identify model MVLM2100. The manual specifies 9.6 kg including battery and 595 × 380 × 285 mm. Amazon lists 13 kg and different dimensions; we use the manual without assuming 13 kg is shipping weight. The manual also limits mapping to 500 m², whereas current MOVA France and Amazon pages advertise 600 m². Before buying for more than 500 m², confirm that advertised capacity for the supplied version and software.
Connectivity, maintenance and docking
The mower uses 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Mobile and GNSS functions require the optional link module. Water protection differs: IPX6 mower, IPX4 station and IP67 power supply. Switch off and set the safety key to OFF before cleaning. For docking failures, the manual calls for checks of reflective films, obstacles, cleanliness and station power. When the station sits within or at the map boundary, leave at least one meter clear in front of the base for turning.
