Kress RTKⁿ — 600 m²
Ref. KR160E
The Kress RTKⁿ KR160E is the entry point into the classic RTKⁿ range, sized for gardens up to 600 m². Weight 12 kg, 20 cm cutting width, adjustable height 30-60 mm, 40% max slope.
Without a camera or dedicated avoidance system, this base model relies on an onboard RTK antenna that receives real-time satellite correction to mark out a virtual boundary drawn in the Kress app — no wire to bury, no fixed antenna to install on the property. When the mower touches an obstacle or nears the virtual boundary, it changes direction; sensitive zones (flower beds, furniture) need to be excluded on the map upfront rather than detected visually in real time — a point worth noting against the ".A" variants that add camera-based OAS.
Battery is a 20V pack, recharging in about 3 hours. A simple, accessible robotic lawn mower for small, regular gardens where RTK precision is enough without active obstacle avoidance.
A good fit for medium-sized gardens (covers 600 m²).
Standard weight of 12 kg — no particular difficulty to install.
Near-silent at 55.5 dB — can run at any hour without disturbing neighbours.
Volume relatif, indicatif — dépend de votre casque/enceintes.
Tackles steep terrain up to 40% — beyond standard robot capability.
Standard width (200 mm) — a good fit for most gardens.
Good adjustment range (30–60 mm) — works for most lawn types.
Excellent battery life (72 Wh) — charges in 180 min.
