Batman's robotic lawnmower? Airseekers Tron review

The recommended retail price for the Airseekers Tron is $1,999. It is available directly from the manufacturer until the end of April 2026 with a big discount.

Airseekers is one of the lesser-known robot mower manufacturers on the market. With the Tron, the manufacturer has made an impressive debut, at least visually. With its futuristic and brute design, it could easily pass for Batman's robotic mower.

The "Batmobile" also boasts all kinds of high-tech features, including 300° AI-supported navigation with RTK or nRTK and a FlowCut mowing and mulching system. But can the Airseekers Tron also impress in practice? Or is Gotham City, aka your own garden, doomed? Our Airseekers Tron review provides the answers.

Before we get to our practical experiences, let's first take a look at the features of the Airseekers Tron. At around 70 cm long, 47 cm wide and 35 cm high and weighing approx. 24 kg, it comes in a solid design. The two angled front wheels are striking at first glance. This makes the Tron look more like a Batmobile with front-end damage. And unfortunately, this topic will catch up with us a few times during the Airseekers Tron test.

Before we start mapping, we first have to set it up. And this is slightly larger than with many other robot mowers. This is because the very compact charging station, on which only the two rear wheels of the robot stand, must first be screwed together. Six screws have to be screwed in to secure the charging tower to the base plate. A small screwdriver is included for this purpose.

The charging station is then fixed to the ground using ground screws and (if desired) the RTK antenna is set up and connected to the charging station together with the power cable on the back behind a small flap. Unfortunately, the RTK cable is very short. The station must therefore be positioned close to the charging station. Alternatively, an additional power supply unit was included with our test device, with which the station can also be set up far away, but then also requires its own power socket.

Now the connection to the app can be established, which worked without any problems in the test. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite as smoothly. The test device initially had problems with the connection to the RTK antenna, which could be resolved after trial and error and contact with the manufacturer. However, this does not necessarily apply to the series models from regular sales.

This is followed by the obligatory mapping round. This involves maneuvering the robot mower once along the edge of the lawn using two virtual joysticks on the display. Unfortunately, the robot reacts very sensitively to inputs on the smartphone touchscreen. This can quickly lead to overreactions such as driving too fast or turning too sharply, which damages the map accuracy.

In addition, a major problem of the Airseekers Tron is already apparent here in the test. The two slanted front wheels cause constant shifting on lawns that are not perfectly flat. This requires constant counter-steering, which, together with the sensitive steering, quickly leads to rather curvy courses of actually straight edges.

Another point of criticism is that no automatic AI mapping is offered, although the Airseekers Tron is equipped with AI and cameras. There is also no eraser function to automatically undo incorrect or inaccurate mapping. The map management is solid and allows you to set up several zones, including connection paths and exclusion zones.

Even at first glance at the Airseekers app, the poor localization of the German language version is noticeable. Unfortunately, there are a few errors here. Otherwise, the app works quite reliably for the most part and as you would expect from other manufacturers.

After starting the app, the connected devices are listed first (if several Tron are working in one household) and a tap takes you to the respective device entry. This shows the mapped area centrally and the live progress when mowing. All around it are all kinds of icons and buttons, such as a large "Start/Pause" and "Back to charging station" button at the bottom.

At the top left, there is a whole series of icons that provide information about the current status of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G and RTK. The battery status and map management as well as shortcuts to the mowing settings (including cutting height) and scheduled tasks (for automated work) are also available. When mowing, you can choose between AI mode (with automatic optimization), global mowing, edge mowing, zone mowing, manual mode and remote control mode.

At the top right, there is the classic gear wheel to open the settings. This opens a menu that lists a rudimentary selection of options relating to RTK/nRTK, night mode, mowing sequence, 4G activation and data charging as well as firmware updates in addition to an overview of the mileage. There are no options for adjusting the sensitivity of obstacle detection.

The Airseekers Tron has real power. It goes to work with 2,000 W. Even taller grass is no problem for it. This results in a reliable mowing performance when the respective area is crossed (and the sometimes not quite flush tracks throw a spanner in the works). When driving, the Tron also benefits from its high performance. It masters inclines and rough terrain with gradients of up to 65%. It also overcame a narrow section of less than 1 m without any problems.

However, the mulching promised by the manufacturer only worked to a limited extent in practice. A lot of longer stalks remained on the lawn. If you don't want this, you should either pre-mow a high lawn first (as with other models) or gradually reduce the considerable cutting height from 9 cm.

When mowing the edges of the lawn, which the mower does as standard after mowing the area, the usual problems occur. The Tron does not have a separate side mower (like the Mammotion Luba mini 2) and no side trimmer (such as the Ecovacs Goat O1200). The mower sits in the middle and is therefore around 12 cm away from the edge.

This leaves a strip of lawn at least this wide if it grows right up to transitions that are not at ground level. Added to this are the small (or larger) distances due to the mapping and inaccuracies during navigation. Manual reworking is therefore necessary (as with almost all robotic lawnmowers), even if wide lawn edging stones have been laid.

The manufacturer promises a running time of three hours with the huge 15 Ah battery. In practice, the Airseekers Tron beat this time, mowing around 350 square meters with RTK navigation and standard settings. Theoretically, even more area would have been possible if it hadn't frequently changed position without mowing and with little system.

It then returned to the station with a charge level of around 20 percent. There, in 2.5 hours, just under 350 Wh with up to a good 130 W flowed into the battery. The standby consumption when the robotic lawnmower is at the charging station in RTK mode is a negative aspect. Here, around 25 to 30 Wh per hour continue to flow, which is a very high value.

The energy balance is correspondingly high if the robotic lawnmower mows 500 square meters three times a week in our usual comparison scenario. According to our extrapolation, the Airseekers Tron consumes well over 20 kWh of energy per month, which is a very high figure compared to many other robotic mowers - in other words, the Airseekers Tron is more expensive on the electricity bill than many of its competitors.

The running time is quite impressive thanks to the large battery, as is the noise level - in this case, however, in a negative sense. The Airseekers Tron is quite loud in operation, probably also due to its high performance. The pure driving noise (measured from a distance of 1 m) is over 60 dB, and it even approaches 70 dB when mowing. This makes it one of the loudest robot mowers on the market and it has little in common with the silent avenger from Gotham City...
