## Verdict

The A2000 LiDAR PRO suits owners who want neat edges without hand trimming and who do not want to place an RTK antenna, since it maps with LiDAR alone. Both testers liked its setup and trimmer, but EFTM's unit got stuck on a sloped, rocky edge and the 50 minute battery means frequent recharges. Skip it if your lawn edges are steep or irregular.

## Pros

- Built in line trimmer for edges
- LiDAR navigation, no antenna or wire
- Wide 12.96 in dual disc cut
- Electric cut height adjust
- Fast 50 min recharge

## Cons

- Only 50 min per charge
- Got stuck on sloped, rocky edges in EFTM's test
- Trimmer misses square corners
- No-go zones set by driving the mower there (EFTM)

## Questions buyers ask

### Does it need an RTK antenna or boundary wire?

No. It navigates with LiDAR and cameras, so there is no antenna, beacon or wire to install.

### Does it trim edges?

Yes. A side line trimmer reaches about 0 in from the edge per Ecovacs. EFTM found it misses square corners.

### How long does it run?

Ecovacs lists 50 minutes per charge and 50 minutes to recharge. It returns to charge and resumes on its own.
