So why can't it do its full 100 percent at 48.37 degrees?

Anyway, I can only speak from my experience with the X120H LiDAR, but overall, it's a pretty good mower, especially if you can get it for around $2,000.
My biggest issue was how long it took to mow. Ideally, you want to run it after the morning dew has dried but before temperatures climb into the mid-90s. Obviously, you also don't want it mowing in the rain. And while it does have lights for nighttime operation, I found that it constantly misidentified obstacles in the dark, making nighttime mowing more trouble than it was worth.
That really only leaves a window of about 4–5 hours on a typical summer day.
The problem is that its cutting width is pretty narrow compared to other robotic mowers. Even with my relatively small lawn, it would sometimes need to recharge twice before finishing. Between the charging and the limited mowing window, it often took two days to finish the entire yard.
Since you ideally want to mow at least twice a week, I felt like the thing was running practically every day. At that point, it started defeating some of the convenience I was hoping to get out of a robotic mower.
The X120H LiDAR has the same cutting width as the X130H, and in several ways, I actually think the LiDAR model is better. The main trade-off is its slightly smaller battery.
Don't get me wrong, though. It was still a great time saver, and my lawn looked fantastic while I was using it. I just think there are better options out there, which is ultimately why I returned it.
Right now, I'm eyeing the Segway Navimow X430, possibly with a battery upgrade down the road. Its much wider cutting deck and faster mow times is particularly appealing after my experience with the Roborock.
One thing I will say in Roborock's favor is that I absolutely loved the app. It worked great, and since I already own Roborock vacuums, having everything integrated into one app was a nice bonus. It's a small thing, but I really like not having to download and manage yet another app.
