The pick for owners who hate string trimming, since its TrueEdge trimmer handled most edging in two independent tests. LiDAR means no RTK setup and good behavior under trees. Its 50% slope rating is lower than the AWD rivals, so very hilly yards should look elsewhere.
Best for: cutting down on edge trimming. Skip if: your yard has slopes steeper than 50%.

Questions buyers ask
Does it need GPS or an RTK station?
No. Ecovacs says no GPS setup is required; it navigates with LiDAR and cameras.

Mostly. BGR estimated it handled 75 to 90% of edging, with corners still needing touch ups.
