Overall Verdict from the Press
Across all reviews, the message is consistent. Raccoon 2 SE is built for people who want automated lawn care without wires, Apps, or complexity. It's especially well-suited for small to medium gardens (up to 500m²), for seniors, busy parents, non-tech users and anyone seeking strong value without premium pricing.
With early Kickstarter pricing and the Christmas Bundle offer, reviewers agree this is one of the most accessible wire-free robot mowers available today.
But be quick! The Kickstarter campaign ends on 27th December 2025. Once it's over, all special offers will disappear! It's your last chance to get the $406 Christmas Bundle and save a fortune before the next mowing season.
